Hi All,

I'm still new here, but I wanted to take some time to share a small victory.  I'd been considering transitioning for a while.  I've been scared and not sure how far to go.  After reading some of your stories on here and watching videos of others who have went through similar situations, I realized that I need to take baby steps.  As I get ready and feel comfortable I can always move forward.

Anyway, this may not sound like much, but for me this was a huge victory.  A couple of days ago I was off work and decided to take a rare lazy day at home.  So I decided to wear a bra and panties under my regular clothes all day.  It felt so liberating, and I have to say I don't think I looked bad.  Seeing the bulges of the bra under my shirt made me feel good about myself.

In general, my wife is supportive of me, but I didn't know how she'd react to this.  She and I talked for a few minutes about it.  The next thing I know, we're on the couch watching a movie and she's painting my toenails.  I even asked her what she would think if I got breast implants.  She told me "They better be at least a D cup or it'd be a waste of money."  LOL!

I feel thankful to have a wife like her.  I haven't talked to any of my other family yet, and only a couple of friends know what I'm going through.  I don't know what the next step is, but I do know that for the first time in my life I feel like I'm on a path to being truly happy with myself.

Big hug! Thanks for sharing the victory with us! We see so many posts about something troubling, that it's refreshing to see someone basking in the light of...themselves.  :) 

Best wishes on your journey, it sounds like you have a fine traveling partner.

Hugs, Devlyn

Congrats! Small steps and taking time is a great thing! Yay to your wife who is trying to be there even if it's small steps on her part as well. Take things slow or as fast as you want and just remember to be honest and open with her thru this. Secrets and lies can destroy a loving marriage.

You are being wise, small steps should be our motto.  Give your wife a big hug.  She sounds wonderful.
