An introduction by Audra.

[Princess-audra]

I am not good on introductions and I am a bit nervous wile I am typing this. Audra is what I call my feminine self, I am working my way towards that. Male born, a bit feminine minded. I am in my late thirties, I have been cross dressing off and on since I was a teenager. I have always eyeballed ladies outfits wile at department stores, big box grocery/retail/have everything in one stop stores, and malls wishing I had more of a figure to wear them. I have made some outfits when I was in my early/mid 20's, family members tossed them out (a bit heart breaking, traumatic, and very annoying). I have a few right now, but now I have my own place and family has no say on what to be tossed out. 

 

I have not came out yet, I am going to be looking at coming out section. I hope that this is ok. If anybody want more info, please ask. I will give some details, as long as it is not to personal.

Welcome Audra..I'm a bit nervous and self-conscious shopping in the women's departments but it has lessened with experience. Hope that fear doesn't keep you from trying something on (although Covid keeps many dressing rooms closed). I try and focus on what I'm looking for. Also, most staff members have been remarkably helpful. Be easy on yourself- we are our own worst critics.

Hi Audra, welcome. I find shopping on line works ok. I’ve done some reading on how to figure my sizes and lately I’ve done all right. With COVID I’ve gained a few pounds so I’ll have to go up a size.

 

Glad you’re part of the group. Look around and enjoy.

 

Sandra.

Hi @Princess-audra!  nice to meet you, and Welcome!

I believe you will find this Forum to be a comfort zone of acceptance and open dialogue.  This forum (and starting gender therapy) have been an immense help for me.  I hope for you too❣️

Currently seeing a therapist for a few months, and I feel good afterwards.

Yeah, I know the feeling. Before covid hit I would shop at a big box retail/grocery store  that was 24 hours after I got off work and did not have many people in to get some items. I had done a guesstimate on size, 9 out of 11 items fit fine.

 

 

Thank you all for the warm welcomes.

Thanks, so am I. I just need to get back in the swing on using forums again. Has been about 10 or so years since I had been active on one.
