Christina's New Life Journey

[Finally Anna]

I'm now just trying to live in plain sight, much nearer to the feminine end of the gender spectrum.  Nothing that disrupts my marriage or daily life and it seems to be working.

Of course I should like to go further but for age, family and social reasons any form of transition is completely out of the question.

This is actually very nice, if it works out well. Certainly not any kind of failure or mishap.

I'm but in my 60's, but I feel a lot like you do about it. In another year or two I will have more clarity but I hope I can find a way similar to your.

Happy birthday Christina!

@Christina152, I have now read through your blog and I recognize so much of what you write, from the non-trans environment in the 70s (for me) and the did not really fit the standard in school, to the late hatching of the egg.
I am one year behind in my acceptance of myself as transfemme and I hope I can reach some kind of femme-leaning state myself, as you have. I really appreciate your posts, I hope your femme-integration continues to be successful and I do look forward to your next blog post.

Thank you Anna.

I loved your Roller-coasters post. I could  have written every single item myself. It was a perfect match.

I'm just back from a very pleasant weekend trip with my wife to an interesting Midlands market town.

Of course I was in boymode, although this summer this comprises some subtle makeup (foundation, blush, eyebrow pencil, gel and rose lip balm), women's desert green shorts, a pink t-shirt, necklace and silver bracelet and my new oversize berry-tinted sunglasses.

It was nice to be misgendered a couple of times. We were addressed as 'ladies' at the castle ticket office and next day a lady in the cathedral enquired 'Are you OK, girls?' when we were studying the guidebook. My wife is rather deaf and fortunately didn't hear either of these comments.

She has never commented either on my slow progression towards the female end of the gender spectrum this year. I think the secret is very gradual change. I am very careful to tone down my presentation when meeting up with friends I haven't seen for a while and who are more likely to notice changes. The most I've had is comments that my hair is much longer that it used to be.

Christina, I understand perfectly about the total boy mode when meeting the "wrong" people. Your wife perhaps accepting more of femme presentation sounds like a very nice experience, both comforting and a bit affirmative.

That sounds lovely, Christina.

I'm just confused about what part of this was "boy mode"? It reads like a full-out presentation to me. What am I missing?

Well,I'm still not out to anyone and completely covert but I'm fortunately able to push my boymode presentation to it's  limits.
