Hello,
Well, today I got my first dress! So tomorrow, I am going to put it on and go shopping while wearing it to celebrate my truth that I am a woman. I feel liberated from the lie that I have lived for 65 years of claiming the male gender. I am now living the truth as a woman! I will come back here tomorrow after I get home and post about how it went! I plan to go to Lima Ohio which is about 40 minutes south of where I currently reside to the Adam & Eve store; I have shopped there before so there will be at least someone there that knows me and about my transition.

So, I came out finally! I went to Adam & Eve's in Lima and bought some hair, some perfume, and thigh high stockings! then I went to McDonald's for lunch then came home. I am exhilerated and excited. Here is a picture of me with hair and everything...

Alison!
Congrats! Every journey begins with a single step. The first one always is the most difficult. I am so happy for you.
And that hair. IT'S PINK! My favorite color. I love it! :)

Thank you, Lori, for the encouragement! If the first one is the hardest, the rest will be a breeze!! I didn't find it hard at all; there were questions and anxiety that tried to harass me on the way down to the store but I wasn't about to deny Alison any more! She wanted and needed to be out and free!
Pink and purple are my favorite colors!
