In all the gloom, there was a little ray of light. I had done my usual change to non female clothes to black skinny jeans and a Queen Elizabeth Cunard polo. Ok not the most male.

My hair has grown a bit, and i went into the chippy to get me some dinner after a 3hr drive home. On the way out two guys were coming in, they held the door and said "there you go love"

It's all in the hair, and the big boobs lol.

I used to have a lot of male fails before I had to male cut my hair, this is the first for some time.

On another subject, I believe K has finally accepted me. When I left on Monday I had got dressed female to save changing in the car and she never gets up until I had left. But this Monday she came done and saw me "oh I thought you had left" she said. I said "I had a lot to get in the car" "drive safe and remember to put tracker on".

A few months ago she would have had a face like thunder, and would have stormed upstairs. This is one of many hints.

Plus we are now great friends. I do not want to push it too hard, but I feel we can talk now.

My first SL avatar was called Caralyn O'Toole, I never deleted her so could be still there. I have forgotten her password. I had a successful business too, there is many 100's $US still in there that I have never withdrawn. No password no money lol

Wow Lori! I just spent an hour reading as much as could of your journey. Even though our life paths were quite a bit different, we still have a lot in common. I actually learned some new things about myself by reading your story. Thank you for posting this and I will be watching for updates.

Quote from: LoriDee on Today at 12:41:59 PMI had my first appointment with my new Voice Coach. I am in Rapid City, SD and she is in Iowa City, IA so the appointment was done through a telemedicine video link. It was mostly giving her background information on prior training, and medical stuff like injuries or trauma to the neck or head. I do have a cervical fusion of neck vertebrae but I doubt that affects my voice. She wasn't concerned. We had a great time chatting and both of us griping about the impossibly slow pace of government.

We set up the next two appointments. We will meet each week. My "homework" is to download an app. Done. Our next question will be filling out a bunch of questionnaires. She says it is boring, but the government loves its paperwork, and we must get through it.

After the appointment, my Bestie called and asked if I could take her shopping. She had some great news she wanted to share. Her son has moved back here from Sioux Falls and I haven't seen him in a couple of years. He would be coming along. No problem.

I picked them up and the son said he finally won his disability claim from Social Security, AND he received all of his back pay. Over $70,000. Wowza. He bought a car and needed a ride to the bank to get cash and then to the car dealer to finalize the purchase. He got a good deal on a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's in great shape.

I was kidding with him and said, "So what is the great news you wanted to share?"

He handed me $20 and said, "You don't need to drive us to Walmart!"

They went shopping and I went home. I'm a little richer and they now have the freedom to go places without relying on me or her sister. Win-Win.

It all sounds good.  Except that her son is disabled, that is a bummer.

It is nice to wear the clothing that is for your gender.  I enjoy being able to switch between slacks, jeans, skirts, dresses, shorts, skorts, etc., depending on the appropriate dress for the day.

My skin is very soft, but not velvety soft as some CIS women.  Not that I go feeling the skin of many women.  Soft, but not as soft.  Close though, at least where there are no hairs.

Since I started crossdressing at age 18 life has been great.I knew looking back at age 7 when I was diagnosed with asperger's syndrome which is a form of autism,therapist said I would have LGBT issues and it happen.It was two months after graduating from high school,would go in my mom's room opening up her closet checking her wardrobe out.Finally did try on a few of her tops,skirts and dresses.I put them back making sure they were put back in right.Did not get caught at first.Did get caught finally,she came home early seeing me wearing a dark blue dress of hers.I saw she was shocked and it was tough on her.Thought she was mad at me too and she was not.Next day we talked and told her I enjoy wearing female clothing.Both did the research together,came up with me being a crossdresser.She also remembered the therapist saying I would have LGBT issues.We also worked things out and she surprised me.Found someone that made me over as female.I got it all with my hair,makeup and nails done.Plus a whole new wardrobe and lessons too.Learned to walk like a young lady and walking in heels.First time I seen myself as Adrianna,my life changed in the right direction and seen I wanted stay as her.First time my mom saw me,was told to say hello to her new daughter and did.Looked at her and said I am staying as Adrianna.My 2 younger brothers were there too,mom told them say hello to their much happier big sister.To this day,my family has always been there for me.
