Quote from: Dawn Kellie on April 13, 2026, 12:13:20 PMSo I did a thing today.
I'm at work, another 12 hour day, and saw the HR person in her office. I asked if she had a minute, which she did. I closed her door and asked her hypothetically is there any ramifications if some one came out as transgender. I knew the answer but needed to hear it. She said "no" but did ask if it was something that needed to be told. In response I told her it would probably become obvious in time. She said the only concern she would have is some of the people on the floor, as some of them could be harsh. I acknowledge her concern and reiterated that this was hypocritical.
As we ended our conversation she said it would be a very brave thing to do.

Now I have to tell my wife. Why is that seem so much harder than this.

Congratulations that's a huge step forwards. Seems you might have a potential ally too there. Seems she is thinking of any potential issues and being clear about it. However you may be surprised. Sometimes those you expected to be an issue turn out to be the most understanding.

I can only hope. My immediate supervisor will be one that will be an issue.  He's a red neck southern.

Well that could go either way Kellie. Sometimes those sorts of people can surprise you. I can see why you might be nervous though. I had a boss once who picked on and bullied me at work and it wasn't fun. If it starts to go like that my advice would be to look elsewhere for a fresh challenge. Nobody should put up with hastle at work.

If he says anything you don't like, give a shy smile and say, "Are you hitting on me?"

That sends homophobes running.

🤣

And if he says yes or maybe, politely say, "I'm married."

I've decided to share a little of my life, it may help to understand Kellie.

I was married, the first time, at 20. My first wife and I really had different ideas of life. She wanted kids and someone to support her life. I worked ALOT, always at work or out of town working. I wanted someone to experience life with. She was more interested in raising kids and having our kids as her friends. We had a girl and boy. As the kids got older she was more interested in having them as friends. I had to be the parent. I was always "the bad cop". I take blame for letting it happen.  When our oldest was 17 she had a boyfriend.  All of a sudden he's living with us. It was a surprise to me. I told my wife i didn't approve and he needed to go. I was told he's not leaving but I could. So, I left.
I moved back to my parents home. They were very supportive of me. Back in time a few years, I was 18 and a friend and I decided to get an apparent. He worked at the same place I did. It was the typical man pad. He had women in and out. I had a single girlfriend.  That relationship didn't last. I was a kid and it happens. I started dating her friend and that was my first wife.
My friend met a girl at a bar and they started dating and got married.  I was i. The wedding and the 4 of us would hang out. Both groups had kids. My friend and his wife are my eldest child's god parents.

Time passes we loose contact. One day I was online and connected with my friends wife. We started chatting and talking. All above board. I told her that she and I were better suited she laughed and agreed. She was separated from her husband. She was still sleeping with her husband and had kids. I Jeter pushed. This was early 2000.

Time passes and life changes. I'm now getting a full divorce. I'm done with being the only parent.  I had lost tou6with my friends wife but we reconnect. She now has 3 born children and a husband that isn't much more than a kid. She has told her husband she wants a divorce. They are liv6in different cities and he shows up when he wants or needs something. He is constantly having a new girlfriend he's sleeping with. When he's told she wants a divorce he say "NO". His wife is now a doctor and he is looking to be taken care of. He is emotionally abusive to the kids.

She and I connect and we start talking. We realized we are both getting a divorce and we have feelings for each other. Our first date is in Las Vegas. At this time I'm living at my parents and working for my dad. I tell my mother I'm going to Vegas to meet this person. My mom looks me straight in the eye and asks me, " are you going to sleep in the same bed?". I calmly respond "mom don't ask questions you don't want the answer to." The question was dropped. 🤣
We have an amazing few days. We needed lots of hydration. A month later we have a second date in San Francisco. Again, a great date. I told her I loved her. She responded in kind.
Another month later we meet in Oklahoma, her home state. I'm meeting her children. Her so to be exhusband finds out and threw a walleyed fit. We still had a great time.
A month later I moved to Oklahoma to be near her. I get evolved with the kids. Show them love and interest in their lives. Her ex-husband gets wind and blows his top. He has his attorney pount out that in Oklahoma there is a morality clause.  I had to move back to California while their divorce goes through the court. It was an ugly divorce.
My divorce is also ugly. My ex wife was trying to bleed me dry. I made a generous offer and told my ex if she didn't take it we would do EXACTLY what the court would require. She tried for more. I held my ground and she ended up with 1/4 of what I offered. The bad side is my kids were led to believe I was a POS. The last contact I had with either one was a letter. The last words were "Never talk to us again ". I've always tried to keep an eye on them.
So in December of 2009 on the exact same day both divorces are final. In Oklahoma you have to wait 6 months before you can remarry. I again move to Oklahoma. I have a separate address but near my soon to be wife. I'm never at my address I'm being a dad. To three kids. Doing what a dad should do. The kids are still getting poisoned by bio dad. Telling the kids " I broke.up the family." and "their mom and I had an affair for years".
I go trough hello at times. I constantly try to show the kids love. Doing the things a dad should be.
My wife and I get married. We have great times, we also have lows. It's an honest marriage. The good and the bad. Even when we've been angry as he'll with each other we had love.
In time the kids started calling me Dad. It has been an amazing life. I have adopted the youngest with plans to adopt the other 2.
I love the family I have. I would never do anything to upset them. My youngest knows I'm transgender and she is amazing. I haven't told the other 2 or my wife yet. My wife is the biggest hurdle I have.  I think she atleast suspects. I'm always in panties and other things, as listed in my other posts.

Thanks for sharing, Kellie.

I know how difficult it is to relive those experiences, but it is therapeutic to write them out. And we appreciate the peek behind the scenes.

I thought i was going to have a problem.
I was offered training in May. During that time my wife id scheduled for a minor medical procedure. 
My wife wanted me to go to training, I wanted to be home for her. We were in a disagreement.
My boss just called and the training got moved.

Just read your mini biography there Kellie. My you've had a lot of heartache and relationship strife in your life. I can see why you are so very desperate to hold onto what you have.

It's great to get to know more about you, whilst it makes for sad reading in places I'm sure there were a lot of happy moments along the way. I am sorry to hear you have lost touch with your children from your first marriage though. They may come search you out in later life yet though.

I went to my local Goodwill and got 2 new bralettes. I had one that I wore alot. I showed it to my daughter and she was disappointed in me. It was very plain and ugly. I found a red lacy and a gray lacy. I think I'll get approval with these

I had to google Bralette. I've never heard the phrase before. Seems like a sort of a sports bra without the firm elastic holding power and you can get feminine lacey versions too. Is that the sort of thing?

I just bought a Glamorise Wonderwire front fastening bra. My god it is so comfortable. The cups are so supportive and give a great shape. I don't know how they can do that without being padded I'm a convert! £47 a pop though but it's so worth it! My boobs have never felt this good ha ha! Plus front fastening, omg how easy is that!

Yes they are great for those ot us that don't have much to hold up. A bralette is thin and light with little to no support. The ones I got are very lacy

Dawn, it takes a lot of courage to come out later in life.  It is even more difficult if you are married.  It also takes a lot of honesty.  I hope you both find a way to navigate a very difficult change.

I think it will go well. There will be a lot of questions and answers. There could even be some tears. Mine or hers.
I've always suspected i was different some how. My wife has to know something is different.
You can't see your spouse wearing clothing jewelry and other things opposite of their assigned gender, and not know. I don't know if she isn't sure of the depth or she is waiting on me to say something

After my latest therapy and based on my wife's stress level. Im waiting a bit longer to say something

I need my sisters point of view.
I had a therapy appointment yesterday.  I think it is helping. I enjoy just saying what I'm thinking and not being told I'm being silly.
I asked my therapist am I transgender.  Obviously she couldn't say yes. She has to have denabilty. I get that. I like boxes and things that go.in them.
I feel transgender I feel more comfortable as a woman. I like the way I feel dressed.  I was going out and didn't have on anklets or toe rings and felt naked.
I feel I'm transgender, the thought of being on HRT and developing breasts is amazing.
I get no sexual gratification from dressing.  I just feel dressed in panties, painted toes, a bit of danglies on and female clothing.
Am I out of my league? I feel I'm transgender. My bits below feel foreign alot. I enjoy relations with my wife but prefer not to use my bits.
I feel lost, maybe that's the meaning of my blog title.
