This isn't really a question; more of an eye opening experience for me. So, Friday I was doing some shopping and picked up an outfit. I wanted to basically try cross dressing to see how it felt. Well I fell in love with the shirt the second I saw it and had to get it. Trying it on at the store I felt like my heart stopped. It seemed so right.

After I got home, I put the whole outfit on before I made dinner. Everything that I was wearing was from the women's section. I couldn't stop myself from smiling, giggling, and laughing. My normal laugh is really just a smirk and a "hmm". I can't remember a time that I was this happy. Before this my happiness was only based on achievements, not just me being me. I just had to share this. These posts make everything so real.

If you can't accept yourself,  how can you expect others to accept you?

I can relate. Before transition I never let myself feel. Being the real me was a real eye opener as to what it is to like yourself, and, as you say genuinely be happy.
Every day is a totally awesome day
Every day provides opportunities and challenges
Every challenge leads to an opportunity
Every fear faced leads to one more strength
Every strength leads to greater success
Success leads to self esteem
Self Esteem leads to happiness.
Cherish every day.

Hello Ginger
First off I just had to wish a fellow michigander best wishes from
Da U.P. eh.
And I'm just going to assume you're in the lower peninsula that contains Michigan's 97% population.
That being said I'm so glad you're exploring yourself as you mentioned and feeling better wearing female clothes. I also experienced feeling better exploring my feelings but I've always felt cross-dressed as a male but I know where you're coming from sometimes you got to do a good acting job. I'm at age 56 now and still feel much better lowering my dysphoria by expressing myself as my inner identity always suggested from a very early age.

In a way dear if you're from a more urban environment than I am you have far more resources at hand.
About 25 years ago I lived around the Ann Arbor area and have learned about U of M's excellent gender program that really covers it all.
As you I'm pretty new here too but I hope you can find a good gender therapist that can help you figure yourself out.
I would love it if you were a Yooper, because I have yet to find anyone else up here being a member at Susan's.
But I still feel you're probably in a better place at your age because there isn't any gender therapist up here for hundreds of miles.
Sorry I got off a little from your main topic, but like I said I'm pretty new also listen to the experienced members they will provide you a wealth of information.
all the very best for your future
love Tatiana

Well I'm horrible with technology so hopefully you eventually see this. Tatiana, I am originally from central Michigan, but moved to the U.P. about 15 years ago. I just wanted to provide a link that might be able to help you. I haven't contacted any of these therapists, or know if they are practicing still. Best of luck to you.
