Good luck Alyssa. I'm sending you positive energy and hoping she'll come around so it will move forward in a favorable manner. As Laurie said, walk in with your head held high. This is not a crime but an expression of who you really are and is how you will feel better about your life. I know these are difficult times but you will persevere and you'll make it through this.

I always tell my mom that this is a hard path in life. This is a huge cross to bear because it's not widely accepted and unfortunately people expect you to be a certain way. However, it's surprising to see how some people can be accepting and change their attitude towards this. At some point I hope your wife comes to accept you as you truly are and realizes that regardless of the shell you are still there.

A-  she never saw you present as female when you thought you were a CD?  Regardless, good luck.  My SO and i had a totally normal conversation the other day when i was completely en femme.  It was pretty affirming.   fingers crossed for the best.

She did but that was really not the same.  I mean a couple Halloweens, but I was not very good and neither were my costumes.  They were pretty outlandish and clearly I looked like a man in a costume.  Other than that we did some bedroom stuff way back but that was more a man in women's clothes than actually looking at all female.  Other than that, all my "cross-dressing" was a don't ask don't tell situation.

This is the first time she'll be seeing me actually presenting truly as a woman trying to look my best as a woman and be perceived as a woman.  Since she knows my identity is female and that I'm transitioning, seeing me present that way has a whole different meaning and impact.

A woman with a place in this world and a seat at the table of life just like anyone else... Go in with with the confidence that comes from knowing you are putting your life on its true and intended course!... How other's react to us is not something we control but how we carry ourself is... No matter how things play out... All will be well
