Mabel

Hello to all,
I am new here, glad to be as well. I am a gm androgyne late 50's. Finally figured out who I am since I have been dressing since about 8. Few if any resources or information back then so it was a pretty troubled childhood. Much guilt, many questions, no one to talk to. My first time dressing was when my cousins thought I would look cute as a girl, and stripped me down and on went the girls clothes, panties out. Somehow that felt really nice and right but why? I was a boy, but really did not like playing with boys that much. As life went on through a awkward teenage and adolescent years I realized I am attracted to females. Lived with them and shared my secret. She did not really care as long as I was happy, sweet girl. I am now married to a wonderful lady with two daughters (out to them) but pretty much in the closet only wearing slightly fem clothing outside but all female undies when not working. Kind of a tomboy (?) like to hunt , fish, garden, fix cars, etc. Talk about non binary, just as comfortable in a wig, dress, heels, full makeup baking or doing housework.. But that's me. For years I thought of it as a curse but knew I had to come to grips someday so I finally told my wife that I want to wear what I want to wear and I told my girls, all accept me. Just don't dress like a whore. Little do they know I am a classy middle aged lady and dress accordingly. They have not seen me in full dress yet, but someday that will happen. I thought about srs, or hrt, but that instead of a curse, its a gift God gave me to be me, just who I am, so I finally accept myself lock stock and barrel. What a relief in doing just that, I am more into other hobbies now as I am not so preoccupied. I do not need hormones or surgery to be who I am, I already am that person. Not even passable so dress up is pretty limited to home. Thanks for reading this, I know its long, but its been a long road and I have finally arrived, yahoo!

Superficial fanny kissing friends are a dime a dozen, a TRUE FRIEND however is PRICELESS

Hi Mabel and welcome. Thank you for sharing your story. There are some similarities in our story.  I don't want to transition either because I'm happy as I am.
