I adore you Miranda <3
Hideyoshi, your sentiments are sooo cool and heartwarming, but I feel exactly the same way about you. I want you to know that before I even read your thread about your first time buying as a woman I knew that you wouldn't have a bit of trouble, and you can go anywhere you choose to, because you are a woman! When the other ladies were talking about the confidence of when we know we're female we won't have any trouble, I understand your thoughts and theirs. Confidence won't get someone there if they don't look female and don't dress like it either, but we do have to own who we are and believe it. The more acceptance you get, Hideyoshi, the easier it will get until it's nothing at all. My only advice is to watch and observe women you'd like to be like and those you wouldn't be caught dead with. Watch the woman you admire's mannerisms, body language, clothes and why she's someone you'd like to emulate. Then find others you feel the same about, and do the same thing. Take little things from every one of them and add your own things that you've always liked about your feminine side and run with it. Remember, everyone on the planet has learned from someone else. You're already doing great, and you're gorgeous!

Yeah me too, God bless you Miranda, you're a sweet woman!
Thank you sooo much, Shan! Us older ladies have to carry the flag for our age group, the baby boomer women!!! I read your threads and I don't think there's one person on Susan's Place who is more enjoyable, caring, empathetic or sweet than you, and I'm not sure anyone is as truthful at the same time. That's a hard balance to get and maintain, and you do it with grace! I fell off that wire the day I started sharing, unfortunately, lol! Anyway, thank you, hun. I feel the same about you too.

Miranda you are truly an inspiration, your honesty is so powerfully beautiful. Thanks you <3
I hope you still have a great deal more time with your mother. My mother lost touch with reality in the broader sense about 6 years ago so I'll never have the opportunity to let her know who I really am. I'm glad you have had that chance. After all the pain you've been through you certainly deserve it!
Rowan, you're sooo classy, gorgeous and talented it simply astounds me. If I had the money (and a nicer body!) I'd buy and wear your clothes till they fell off me! They've got style to die for, like their creator! Your wife should be way proud of you! I am! I'm so very sorry to hear about your mom, and I can't begin to understand how much you must miss having her in your life. I've come to rely on mine in ways I never would have thought possible and probably wouldn't have wanted to until she truly let me into her life. Sometimes I think I must be the luckiest woman on the planet, till I try to walk, sleep, get dressed, undressed....That's what two crushed vertebrae and a third called a 'burst fracture' (infinitely worse) on a third does to you...you get the picture. I still might be the happiest, luckiest, and most fortunate girl wearing a B cup on the planet anyway!!!
Jay-Bird, I have to say your latest photos are really beyond belief, though I know they're real. It's your totally scary before photo compared to your latest and even the pics taken months ago. If I didn't see it I would never believe they're both you, but just like my before photos, I doubt inside you were ever who you tried to be to throw everyone off the trail of the real you. I can see it in you how happy you are now and how unhappy you were then. Probably nothing more than a male impersonator your whole existence till you blossomed into the beautiful woman you are now. And the best part is you're only getting better girl, in every way.
Now I'm going to dig for a compliment for myself (Mira, you're such a grandstanding bitch!, lol). Do I look like my mom or Muffy, our Keeshond? Don't answer! Hugs and much love to everyone of you awesome women, Mira
