Maria. You look well on your way. I remember the first time I crossdressed. I was seven and I asked my mom to let me wear my sisters costumes. Since then I dressed in womens clothes at least 3000 times over 57 years. But always in private. While feeling great about it and being comfortable there was still something lacking. Two years ago things changed and I started HRT. In that time my emotions have been balanced out, I've met a lot of new friends. Something I was not really able to do before. Not to say I didn't have friends because the ones I do have I wouldn't trade for anything. It's just easier because I no longer feel guilty, ashamed or afraid. For giggles and grins on my way home from the therapists appointment I stopped by Chick-fil-a drive up and placed my order. When I got to the window I said. "You know, you just served a transgender woman" I don't pass but my C cup boobs cannot be denied. It was really special to see the look on her face. I guess what I am saying in a round about way is that now that you are on your way it is just going to be easier with each occurance. As you gain confidence the results are even more dramatic. I'm lucky I live in a forward thinking city and state. I went downtown Seattle yesterday for an appointment and to be able to walk the streets and nobody blinks an eye and pride flags are in many shops and eatery windows. I love it. I just wish I lived 30 miles closer. You too will have the opportunity. Seeking a therapist is very smart as it is just so helpful. We are working on a plan to go full time and not destroy my 35 year relationship with my wife. So too, are local support groups. Best wishes to you.
