Susan's has been a great experience for me. I have learned more about what and who I am than I have known before. I have been introduced to more alternate lifestyle types than I imagined. It has enhanced my feminine feeling towards myself. I thank those who have made it possible.
I have been a CD for many years (I am 57). Back when I was a kid there was no Internet so any information had to come from your parents or the Britannica Encyclopedia. I told my mom about my feelings once and she said I was a Transvestite. Nothing more was said about it. Now that the Internet is here there is an almost unending source of information for which I am thankful.
I thank Susan's for allowing one to speak freely and openly (with proper guidelines, of course). I have had good correspondence with a few of the girls and thought I was making progress to understand myself as well as supporting them. For some reason, however, the correspondence has stopped. I am not sure if I said something or what? If I have said something that offended someone I am truly sorry.
I realize this is a free world and one can choose who they want to correspond with or not. I respect that. It is just when you think you are making progress in communicating thoughts and ideas and the other person just stops, it makes it kinda hard to understand. I now understand what a girl feels like when the guy says, "I will call you" and never does. It is when you lift your face, walk proud and move on.
I have known two women who owned businesses. One was a Merle Norman Cosmetic store and the other had a lingerie boutique. I enjoyed getting makeovers, manicures and being able to express my feminine feelings with a real woman who understood and would talk to me. Unfortunately, both are out of business. I am back at square 1 in being able to confide with a real person. I miss them but life goes on.
Thanks for letting me get this off my (48C) chest.
Susan
