I'm all about long skirts over a slip.

Almost bought a cute pinafore on ebay,

I have something like this.  (I'm actually wearing it this morning)  But it's only knee length and I don't like wearing it out and about - it doesn't seem age appropriate for me.   Sigh.

I've taken a week or so to reflect and feel more comfy.  Tomorrow is a big step, I've decided it's time to upload a photo.  At least that's the plan.  I hope I don't bottle it, it's a big step, the first time anyone else sees you.  I'm very conscious, taken a few selfies and realised that I am 58 after all, no one is expecting me to look like Marilyn Monroe.  I'm not going to win a beauty contest, that's for sure, but so what.  I feel happy enough.  I need to work on my face a lot, trying foundation and blusher for the first time I must have looked like an extra in a Peter Cushing / Chistopher Lee film!  And I think I'm happy with my name now, how do I go about changing my profile name?  I've been clothes shopping a couple of times now, not dressed up, and bought a few things, and to my delight no one, eg cashier or other shoppers, has even given it a second thought. Maybe they just assume I'm buying for someone else?

Yes, Jandi, somehow they seem to be associated only with schoolgirls in period films.  Shame, because they're actually quite a functional garment, and pretty.  Over here (England) they were almost compulsory in Edwardian times, then completely disappeared.  I prefer long skirts as well, but have just tried on fishnets for the first time, thought they might be far too young for me, but they're actually quite comfy to wear and with a long skirt you can't see them to appreciate them.  Not sure I'll wear them again, I kinda associate them with more risque behaviour.

Thanks, Jani, I got an unexpected boost being addressed as Charlotte for the first time, it felt pleasing.  I'll take your advice and maybe put a couple of pictures up. Might need a stiff drink first, bit of Dutch courage!

So, I finally stood at the deep end of the pool and jumped in.  I've put a pic in the Gallery.  If you're the first to see the picture, you're the first person who's ever seen Charlotte.  I'm going to go with the mature retro housewife look.  As you can see, I have an awful lot of work to do.  I've not even tried make up yet.  I'm getting much more comfortable now as myself.  Been shopping for clothes, bought a black skirt, tights and a purple cardigan today, no one blinked an eyelid.  Still, going out and shopping as myself is a long way off yet.

I think that request went to the wrong place.

Sorry. I'm at the still completely lost and clueless phase. Actually have been that for the last 50+ years :)

If you look at normal women you'll see that there are very few beautiful women. I don't think I'd want to look like Marilyn Monroe, she's been dead for quite a while LOL. Charlotte is a pretty name. As far as clothing goes, it's a long process finding what is right for you. I'm lousy at visualizing how something will look. Good thing my wife is good at this.

Strongly disagree. All women are beautiful. You, me, even Marilyn Monroe. While not all of us are what society calls beautiful to sell us product, we all shine with an inner light that is absolutely gorgeous.

 

Hugs!

Well then, you have lots of company in the 50+ years. There's a big learning curve with finally being your true self after a lifetime of training in the wrong gender.

I think you looked very nice in your Deep End of The Pool picture. I'm happy for Charlotte, and her outlook on life.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and safe.

Oh how I wish!  But we all have beauty inside, and everyone has someone out there.

 

Could a kind admin please change my profile name to "Charlotte (Ye Ye)" please, and then later I'll drop the Ye Ye.

 

Thanks

 

Charlotte

 

Note to self....I've only been on this journey for a few weeks - I have to stop buying clothes EVERY day.  I've got bills to pay!  This is more of a high than whatever it is that people take to get high on.

Nah, it's on the outside too. There's a certain trick to knowing how to look, but I can see beauty in every woman I meet to some degree or another. I mean it could be my dysphoria talking, but have you SEEN women? They're all lovely in their own way.

 

Hugs!

      Aww, shucks! Thank you, @Ashley0616 and @Timi! I find taking a picture of myself so difficult.

      You're pretty! It's nice to see a face.

      I'm very glad that everything worked out even better than you thought. It's a tough spot to be in and I know the exact feelings. I'm still waiting to apply for divorce under abandonment so I officially can meet someone who one day I can call someone my prince or my queen. Although the desire for someone is fading because of everything. it's even more amazing that she was your high school sweetheart! Looking forward to the next entry.

      Awww thanks for listening everyone. I have another 5-6 songs in this style that I started recording at the same time, so hopefully I’ll finish the next release soon.   Yes, exactly. Everything was easier about this project, mainly because it felt authentic. The energy was very different, because it was such a pleasure to express myself without a filter. I laughed a lot.

      Thanks for listening @Mmindy.   You’re welcome @April Marie. I think Sally Can’t Dance is an underrated album.

      Well I had an interview with the local Ford Dealership for an opening in the parts dept. It sounded positive. I was told I would here by tomorrow morning.    Other than that just sticking around the house. I haven't done much, the weather is cold and yucky. Doesn't look like good weather till Sunday. Maybe tomorrow I'll fire up the heater in the garage and see about getting the other brake hose put on the Explorer.   Have a good rest of your day/evening.   Hugs, Kymmie

      Maybe they called me he/him at the dealership because I completely forgot my mascara! Eyeliner without mascara…a bold new trend among the helplessly lost! :)   Fixed that!

      Ah. Email from Gibson. [it was actually less legible than this, as he didn't use punctuation, it was all caps, and he ran all his words together. Taylor was used to it.   T - As everyone was under my super. this last year, don't worry about the evals. I will handle it. Send all email about new proposals to me, your unit handles work under way.  You will be involved but the first step is those go to me. Thanks   Here is an outline of what questions I want to see answered tomorrow.  Feel free to just jot down your thoughts.  If you don't know, say so and maybe point to how we can find that out............   Your new position will seem very challenging for a while but I am sure you can handle it.  Everyone has the utmost confidence in you.   PS your performance evaluation will be stellar, as reflected in your new position and compensation.  You get 100. One less thing to worry about.   Taylor sent him 45 emails right after that, gave some thought to the questions, and then had to turn to one of the proposals under way and review it.  That done, she read through the personnel files on her people so she would better understand them and what they could do. There was a very thin folder with her name on it.  It had one piece of paper on it. On it was written "the best!".  The others were thicker but didn't take long either, and she returned to answering the questions.

      Post 5 “Coming out to My Significant Other”   My wife and I were high school sweethearts and after 40 plus years of marriage we are still soulmates.  Yes, I consider myself lucky, but we also worked hard to stay sweethearts, and my transgender nature was one of the things that required a lot of hard work to reconcile.    Back when I realized she was the girl I was going to marry, I was still struggling with gender identity, and up to that point I had kept this guarded secret from her.  I wondered how I was going to tell her, and I pondered the timing.  I had already decided she needed to know before I would feel comfortable asking her to marry me.  I was absolutely terrified that when she learned about my gender identity issues, it would scare her off.  Despite my deep concern, I just knew in my heart, I couldn’t keep the truth from her.   In my case, I never thought a relationship with a girl, or marriage to a girl would somehow cure my gender dysphoria.  In fact, the blossoming of our relationship didn’t mute or minimize my gender confusion one bit, so my desire to keep dressing like a girl remained strong.  I actually considered not telling her at all, but I already knew this wasn’t a passing phase, so kicking the proverbial can down the road didn’t make sense to me.    Since I was committed to revealing my secret, I pondered how to initiate the conversation?  Obviously, I would tell her that I enjoyed dressing and looking like a girl, so part of the conversation would be about crossdressing.  The fact that I cross-dressed was the easier part of the conversation and it would make clear to her what I was doing, but the harder part would be explaining why; because, at that time in my life, I had no idea why I was feeling like I was a girl.  Still, I felt a partial explanation was better than none at all and if she could accept the crossdressing part initially, maybe she and I could explore the deeper meaning, together.    Telling my fiancé I was a crossdresser seemed the simplest explanation at the time.  All that remained was the timing and this is when a situation arose that I hoped would be the perfect setup for my big reveal.  She and I were going to a friend’s party, and on the weekend it was to take place, my fiancé’s parents were out of town.  I casually mentioned that I thought it would be a “goof” to show up at the party dressed like a girl.  Much to my joy and surprise, she thought it was a super idea.  In fact, her enthusiasm for the idea was more than I could have hoped for.  With her parents out of town, we had her house to use for my transformation.    At the time, I had my own stash of girl’s clothing, but admitting to this would have revealed too much.  Besides, she had already started planning my wardrobe for me and I was certain her efforts would be much better than anything my feeble stash might result in.  I couldn’t have been more correct and after she dressed me and did my makeup, I looked more like a girl than I ever had before.  In fact, my new appearance was so striking, I could barely contain my joy.  Of course, this was supposed to be a “goof” so, I did my level best to hide the excitement I was feeling inside.  While I was elated being dressed and out in public, I was absolutely terrified at the same time.  Consequently, showing up at the party was a lot more difficult for me than I had imagined.  Ultimately, everyone got a big kick out of me, and that did help to relax me a little.  However, I had vowed to come clean to my fiancé at some point during the evening, so I remained uncomfortably anxious.   Later, and after a few drinks, I had mustered up the courage to reveal my secret to my future wife.  I pulled her aside and had her follow me to a quiet room upstairs.  Alone together, I began trying to explain my feelings, which as I recall revolved mostly around my desire to dress like a girl.  I did tell her my feelings were more complex, but I think she latched onto the fact that I was a guy who enjoyed looking like a girl on occasion.  I was extremely emotional as we talked, but she comforted me and told me it didn’t change her feelings for me.   I have to say having that conversation with my fiancé that night was the best decision I ever made.  It ensured we would face the future together without secrets or deceit. I know it strengthened our relationship. Of course, my wife really didn’t have any idea what she was signing up for when she agreed to support my transgender nature.  It would be like riding a roller coaster, lots of ups and quite a few downs, but the fact that she knew about me before we got married, made the ride a lot smoother than it could have been.   Hugs,   Sally

      Hi, I’m back   @MaeBe @Ashley0616 @April Marie and @Mmindy and everyone else, my wife says thank you for the birthday wishes.    It was a busy day at work today.  Once things settled down a little, I went outside and washed the windows.  My Manager was very happy with how much better they looked.  And no ladders were involved. Just my personal window washing gear.  Now that they are clean (for only the second time in a year and both by me) I would like to wash them with some Rainex instead of just window cleaner.  We sell gallon jugs of Rainex windshield washer fluid and I think using that next time might help keep rain spots off the windows.     we are going out to J Peter’s for dinner tonight. We both like it so it’s a winner.  It’s a local restaurant with several locations.    time to feed and walk the dog.   Tomorrow is a 4am day.  I like the work of the 4am shift I just wish it was later.  The again it’s nice to get home by 12 noon
