Title: Living on the other side update..
Post by: Dodie on February 26, 2015, 10:52:32 AM
Hey girls,
Well, life has been so interesting.  I never get clocked... but actually kind of stand out in the general crowd.  That is good and bad.  Even though I pass 100% I still have some issues with confidence.
I get messed with more by men than my wife does and she is a good looking chick.. I think maybe they think they have a chance with me or something.
Its weird to be on the other side and run around the mall shopping and other women don't even give me a second look.
A little girl pointed at me yesterday and said isn't she pretty mommy.. and her mom said she sure is.. we smiled at each other as we passed..
I was such a stud dude before.. you know being as masculine as I could to hide my identity so totally embracing the female side is a challenge.
I really like jeans and t shirts ...to be comfy.. but look best dressed up nicely.. Friends say I look like a wealthy business woman and no one will mess with me... ever. But I don't feel comfy in dress clothes.. heck I even hated suits as a dude.
Anyway, bought some new clothes at the mall for summer.. If I don't pull another 20lbs by summer I will be in trouble with clothing. I want to wear lightweight stuff and to look good need to work out more.
I bought the cutest leggings and comfy boots last night.. so excited about that.  Also some awesome shirts that fit loose and have pretty colors ..
I like to wear my hair in a pony tail during day at work but if I go out I use a head band or just let it go.
I dried my hair in just 15 minutes yesterday. but makeup was a total disaster.. I was trying some new bronze stuff and I though it looked awefull... then did not know what to do and ran out of time and had to go out.
Anyway, other girls I know thought it looked good.. but I am particular and don't want to look pasty..maybe its because I am just not used to wearing makeup.
I love being who I am.. which is the real me.. but damn do guys have it made in the shade.... Still I would never go back to being a dude. although I do miss many things about it.. seriously.  It was not much work compared to what we go through.
No way this is a choice.  Wish more people could understand that.. its hard being a woman but a hell of a lot more fun!!! in many ways.

Dodie, you look so lovely in your avatar. You're one of those people who my mind refuses to believe ever looked male. It's great to hear you're enjoying life so much now. :)
