First time out as her (sort-of)

This will be my first trip alone, without my SO and/or daughter with, and without going to another family members house. Other than underdressing and wearing painted toes under socks, I've never ventured out of the house dressed in what I want to dress.

It's a long drive to my destination, so I decided to tent along the way. Perfect time to be able to do some dressing. It's possible I won't even get out of the tent being dressed, but if I only stay in the tent that's good enough. I'll likely have a waterfront site, so I'm really excited about the posibility of a very late under the cover of darkness swim in my one piece swimming suit, I've been dreaming about that for years. My swimsuit is a monokini. I've never liked monokinis, but they look better on me than bikinis. My monokini is (link deleted)

I need more supplies! So I did what I usually do for buying nail polish, etc and go to a store that has self checkouts. Walmart it was. Thankfully the dressing room attendent wasn't in front of the rooms, so I went in without worrying.

As per usual, I put the clothes under other things I was buying and headed for the self-checkout. Should be in the clear, done this many times. Not today. I had the machine give an error that says extra item on the scale thing. The employee had to come over and clear it. It happened three times! :hairpull:

Thankfully either she say anything (no doubt my order was on her screen) or she didn't notice and was friendly to me. I politely said have a good day and she said it back. I left the store with this cute dress (much younger than my age, but I love it) and this cami. Both of them are a first, my first dress and first cami. B)

I'm fighting the urge to go on a clothes spending spree for my trip. Maybe a couple of things from here, shoes for driving in the car would be nice.

So excited for this trip. By the way, anyone here from Denver? I can't immagine going out in public dressed, but I'm curious.

Enjoy yourself dear. I hope you are headed for warmer climates looking at your new outfits. It is a little early here to go swimming and i'm guessing that the ice isn't out in parts of Minnesota. I remember loving long drives dressed once i was brave enough to try that. I'd change after leaving the house and back to a male cover up at my destination. I glad you will be free to be yourself for a bit. It is a lovely feeling.

Hugs,

Yep... I do that often too. The 2 hour drive to my Mothers house, and certainly the drive from LA to San Diego. Sometimes earli on a Sunday morning, just driving in the local mountains or up the coast. I love the feel of the cool air :)

Enjoy that time, it's really very peacful!

Huggs,

Whoops, forgot about the no swimsuit images rule. If you so wish, you can find the swimsuit on the Wallmart website, it's the OP Juniors Tribal Monokini.

Maybe too early. In southern MN there's no ice on lakes, but yeah they're probably cold. Can't say for the northern part of the state. Going swimming may not happen, but I can dream right?

Question: How did you go about changing to and from your clothes? Toilets in rest areas are gender segregated, so that wouldn't work to enter as a male and come out as a female and vise-versa. Did you just find a single handicap or famly restroom or something like that?

Well a very tiny small step. my last night and I'm sitting at my campsite wearing the dress, with a bra that adds a few cup sizes, and blue with sparkles nails. My toes are painted too, but I only have tennis shoes.

I'm the only one on this circle, but despite that still a little worried about "what if".

Still feels wonderful. Love wearing a dress, really really wish I could do it more often.

I hear the sadness but also the fun you've had. Other times will appear for you to find yourself. I went back and forth for years and like you was often sad as well as happy.

Hugs,

Thanks Charlize. I'm daily going back and forth about reaching out to the LGBT group at work to see if they have any Trans members and/or finally going out to that bar where a local cross-gender group meets.

I took my shoes off and am curling my legs underneath me. girlish pose I think, but maybe girls wouldn't do that in a dress, although the dress is tucked behind me.

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets.

      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      April sounds fun..I keep some boy jeans to visit mom in..fir now   hugs

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.

      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.

      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie

      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
