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.
