My Journey


AdriannaB

Recommended Posts

My journey as a part time crossdresser started at age 8.Being the oldest with 3 younger sisters,mom brought home a box of girl's clothes and I thought it was for my sisters.Mom pulled out a blue dress,shows it to me asking me to try it on and I said no at first.Mom wasn't mad and I did finally say yes on trying this dress on.She said I looked cute in it and I discovered something too.The dress was very comfortable to wear including a female persona coming out.Luckily the rest of the clothes which were tops,skirts,other dresses and jeans fit me too.Then it was at the store buying panties and hosiery for me including a couple pairs of shoes.Luckily my hair was shoulder length,no wig needed and mom styled it a little bit.Finally one day,I did get dressed as a girl for the whole day and I loved it.Mom looked at me and said I was going to get my ears pierced.I was uncomfortable about this part at first and made it through.As I got older,did get used to wearing a bra when I dressed as Adrianna.Make up started at 14 years old,learned from a make up artist and I got it right due to lots of practice.Heels at 15 and same thing,I got it right walking in them due to lots of practice.Tough part was finding an SO that was supportive,first 4 were not and I thought about giving up in 2002 at first.I struck luck in 2002 meeting my wife Nikki whom I married in 2005.Nikki taught me she loves me for who I am and has encouraged me not to give up.Plus it is fun shopping with her.I love her a lot and glad to have her in my life ever since.Nikki sees Adrianna as a girlfriend of hers.My future,staying part time as Adrianna

Hi Adrianna,

 

Thank you for sharing your story! Since you posted this 11 hours prior to my post, I am somewhat surprised others have not jumped in ahead of me. Though my story is not exactly the same as yours, I relate particularly to the feelings that come out in your bio. In many ways, writing my bio here felt like a coming out. I began secretly trying on the clothes of my best friend's mother when I was much older than you. But I was aware of deep feminine feelings as early as 3 when I played only with the girls on my block and wished I could wear their clothes. I also relate to the sense of ambivalence about dressing that you indicate, though now I feel very comfortable dressing as a woman. I am thinking of going full time and considering HRT. You are very welcome here and there are many folks here who have much in common with you. I look forward to reading many more of your posts!

 

Hugs,

 

Robin

Hello Adrianna, I can also relate to this part of your journey.  I was a small business owner for 23 years. Ten of those years, I lived as a “normal” cis male while running the business 8-9 hours of the day.  After work, I became Susan until the next morning.  Rinse and repeat.  I stopped the cycle to start a family in 1996.  After a 21 year hiatus of suppressing myself, I finally admitted who I am to myself and then my wife.  The rest is history.  I don’t miss my male persona at all while living full time as Susan.  It’s interesting to me that the reverse had never been the case.


My Best,

Susan R?

      As has been said many times, this is not a black and white issue. Sure.  I get it that a MtF person that has gone through full male puberty and "transitioned" 6 months ago probably has an advantage in some sports.  But these bans affect elementary school kids too. I mean, banning trans women from Darts?  Chess?

      Worry refers to the thoughts, images, emotions, and actions of a negative nature in a repetitive, uncontrollable manner that results from a proactive cognitive risk analysis made to avoid or solve anticipated potential threats and their potential consequences.

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      Thanks.  I will look those up in the document, hopefully tomorrow.   I always look at the source on stuff like this, not what someone, particularly those adversarial, have to say.

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
