Hi Ladies,

I'm Sally, I have been a crossdresser for most of my life, and I'm bisexual. (So not sure if I should be posting here?) During certain periods of my life (Marragies & Military) I couldn't do what felt natural to me and dress up in nice frilly things.    I tried telling my last wife about both, but she flipped out and couldn't deal with it, so for the last 15 years I keep it straight and just dressed in mens clothing. 

That period is over.    I have started dressing Fem again. Only at home right now, maybe someday I can get the courage up to go out dressed up.

I came across this site while looking for some good online stores that sell transgender stuff. I was so happy I found this site. I took the next several days reading the forums of all the great ladies stories and hints. Thank you all for this information and stories of coming out. I too one day would like to come out to friends and family, but for now it is my serect to keep.

I was inspired by some of the stories taking little steps at first, that this morning after my normal treatment of shaving (100% hair free except underarms, I haven't figured that out yet without cutting myself all over  ) and doing my nails. I picked out a nice matching bra and panties set (yellow, one of my favorite colors) of course wearing them under some jeans and a big sweatshirt I went to the grocery store to pick up some cosmetics. My heart was racing from the time I got out of my car, all the way through my shopping trip. I kept thinking in my mind am I taking to long in front of the lipsticks?  I got everything I needed and went to pay and the only register that was open was the self checkout ones. Which I have never used before. There was a nice older gentleman there who showed me how to use it. The whole time I'm thinking, he can see the outline of my bra.    I paid for my items not really caring what it costs, just wanted to get out of there before someone reconized me. Maybe next time I will take more time?

But I just wanted to thank all of you who shared stories in these forums. They gave me the courage I needed to start to take my baby steps back into the world of Fem.

Thank you all,

Sally

I think this place is awesome. When I read stories like yours, I can really feel the power of this community.

It gives me the needed strength and confident to go out shopping. When my heart is beating like a drum, it's relaxing to know that I'm not the only one feeling the same thing.

Welcome to Susan's, Sally. 

There's a lot of good information and good people here.  Each of our stories is unique but we have a lot in common.  Settle in, pull up a keyboard, and explore.

Be sure to look under the Announcements heading.  There you will find the rules we live by in this little world of ours: "Site Terms of Service and Rules to Live By", "Standard Terms and Definitions", and "Post Ranks".  Look through the other stuff there, too.

I was a cross-dresser for 56 years.  Neither of my wives were crazy about it.  I finally stopped cross-dressing when I started living full time as Kate.  Now I never cross-dress because I really don't like male clothing.

Happy exploring.

Actually a girlfriend gave it to me, because it did not fit her anymore.  She is bigger in the boobs than I am.   For once I am glad I have small boobs.

Hi Sally 

Nice to make your acquaintance... Welcome to Susan's
