Hello all! My name is Jocelyn (though most of my friends just call me Lynn). I discovered this forum last year. Although I was afraid to join for some time, I felt inspired by the people in this community. So since discovering this place I've thought long and hard if I was willing to try cross-dressing myself.
Then two weeks ago, I bought my very first dress. Well, I gave money to one of my female friends who was nice enough to buy it for me. But I'm still new at this; bear with me. Anyway, on the following Saturday night (my 21st birthday) I went out dressed up for the first time.
Honestly, I never imagined it would feel so good. So freeing...
You see, on top of being infinitely uncomfortable with my birth gender, I also just happen to be shy. But when I was dressed up, I wasn't self-conscious or embarrassed at all... even in public. I actually surprised myself by feeling so confident. Although I'll admit, I'm not sure how well I passed, (I need to work on my voice and posture for example) but my friends and I think I at least look the part.
On the following Saturday night I was able to do it again. (granted I still only have the one dress) I had even more fun the second time.
So, I honestly want to thank everyone here. Had I not found this place, I might never have mustered up the courage to actually do this. And since then, not only do I feel a bit better about myself, but I feel I've become a bit more calmed down and a lot less shy.
Again, thank you all so much.
