self acceptance

[tammygirluk]

Iv accepted my fem side and im happy with my fem self in my own home.

i dont know why but when i talk to my counciler about crossdressing and other related things i feel kind of embarresed/shamed
and when i shop for fem things i dont want them to know that the stuff i buy is for myself.

would you say that this means i havent fully accepted who i am?

Here's something to try.  Go out en femme and shop.  It's a whole new experience.  I fell MUCH less anxious when I am going out like that to shop.  I figure even if people figure out that I have a male body, at least they will understand why I'm shopping for women's clothes.

I would love to but i dont have enough to wear yet and also i dont know what to do about my hair.

my hair doesnt look v fem and my hair is short.

any ideas hun?

Hi Tammy,

I to share your feelings of nervousness. For me I am happy just to express the dressing part of my femme side alone. Shelley is with me always and doesn't need to be on display for me to experience her.

If you do decide to take the going out en femme path you need to be aware that the reactions of others may not be very nice or even dangerous. Going out alone is not recommendedespecially in the early stages.

For me passing would be difficult given my size and features and I accept that. Each of us needs to find where we are comfortable and as we test our boundaries we need to take care. Good luck on your journey and remember it is your journey.

I would say make sure you buy a good wig, don't skimp on the quality.  Cheap ones look fake and will draw attention to you.  I wore a wig until my hair grew out.

Im going to find a good wig untill my hair grows.my hair is long ish now not not as long as iv had it in the past.

i think if i have a hair cut again i will get them just to trim and keep it the same length.

i was going to start a new topic but i thought i would psot it here.

i managed to do washing at home today and my parents didnt seem to mind which makes my life easier now as it was harder for me to wash and dry my fem clothes in the past

i also found a local crossdresser event where people dress up as their fem selfs so im going to see about going to it because i would love to meet people like me and make friends and just be myself.

yeah i buy extensions and only buy the best quality.
my friend is a drag queen and she buys wigs that are £400 +
but theyl last forever and look likey the real deal

I am starting to expericing on wearing camisole and panty, I feels somewhat more comfortable than few years back. I am starting to think I am going throw away all of my cut jersey and men breif, I mean, what's the use for wearing men's stuff? I am a man trying to become a femine. I usually stops at American Apparel and Ragstore, I do find the fact that American Apparell is very expensive, however, I usually buys some camisole from Ragstore. Now , I am working on mini skirt. and I usually wears lady short and xxl shirt to go to sleep. I already developed a breast a A/B cup size and trying to gets some help on undergoing the transitional times. I don't know where to go or where to start.
