Susan's Place Transgender Resources

It all started with a fascination a deep attraction to lingerie, bras, and underwear. At first, I didn't think much of it. I'd try things on, enjoy the moment but also laugh at how funny they looked on me. I had no idea how to dress, how to style myself, or how to even begin expressing this side of me. But something kept pulling me back. 

Over time, that curiosity grew into something more. I began to shift my focus from just wearing lingerie to exploring what it meant to truly embody femininity. It wasn't just about looking sexy; it was about becoming a woman who looked and felt good. I wanted to embrace every aspect of it the grace, the elegance, the confidence. 

The journey wasn't overnight. I started small, learning the basics of makeup, experimenting with different styles, and figuring out what clothes fit me best. Each step brought its own challenges, but also a sense of joy and fulfillment I hadn't expected. I found myself spending hours practicing makeup techniques, researching fashion tips, and discovering how to present myself in a way that felt authentic. 

What surprised me the most was how much I enjoyed the process. It wasn't just about the end result; it was about the time I spent learning, growing, and connecting with this side of myself. The more I embraced it, the more I realized how much it enriched my life. Crossdressing became more than a hobby—it became a form of self-expression, a way to explore my identity, and a celebration of femininity in all its beauty. 

Looking back, I'm amazed at how far I've come. From those early days of awkwardly trying on lingerie to now feeling comfortable in my own skin, this journey has been transformative. It's taught me to embrace who I am, to find joy in the process, and to celebrate the beauty of being authentically me. 

To anyone exploring their own path, I'd say this: take your time, enjoy the journey, and don't be afraid to be yourself. Whether it's crossdressing or any other form of self-expression, the most important thing is to do what makes you happy. 

Don't be surprised this is me today

This photo is a snapshot of where my journey has brought me. It's not just about the clothes, the makeup, or the styling; it's about the happens, joy, and authenticity I've found along the way. This is who I am, and I'm proud of how far I've come. Thanks for allowing me sharing this journey with you all! 

Natali,

Thank you so much for this. Although my journey began much later in life, it followed a similar path. I never started experimenting with cross-dressing until after my diagnosis of gender dysphoria. For me, it was a way to prove or disprove the diagnosis. Like you, I found that I not only enjoyed trying these things, but I was very happy with the results. After that, I embraced the idea that "this is me!".

Now, I will never go back.

Now I will never go back ❤️😘

Hi Natali!
My journey also started later in life. What started as a fun idea during playtime with my wife turned into a powerful exploration of who I am. I'm constantly amazed by it!
I do see similarities between people's stories. I know that our stories are different in many ways,but there seem to be moments that are the same. Like, for instance, when you make the leap from just wearing lingerie to exploring daytime clothing. That seems to be a quantum leap for many of us!
I too love the journey. I feel inspired by all the ways that crossdressing has enriched my life!

That's a good mantra for life, honey. And something a lot of people don't learn until it's too late. Whatever it is, whatever makes you happy... in the end, the only person you have to answer to is yourself.

Go you.
