It's not really my 2nd visit, more like 10th, but it is the first visit after revealing myself.

So today I did a bit of shopping. 
I'm not supposed to go out crossdessed as per my wife but I have been only wearing womens jeans, leggings, tee shirts, shorts, undies for a while a now. All kind of gender neutral but not if you really look.

As previously mentioned my hair dresser/ beautician advised me about wearing smaller earrings and also lipstick that isn't too dark.

Today I bought some new lipstick and had a lovely encounter when paying for it.

I also bought a new blouse which I hope pairs with either my skinny black or moroon jeans.

Again this was a very positive experience and both assistants had no doubt who I was buying for but they couldn't have been friendlier.

The problem I have is a super skinny bottom half and a much larger top bit. But hopefully the blouse is flowy enough.

I intend to wear ballet flats on my feet for an unmistakable appearance.

I'm currently re-glossing my fingers and touching up my red toenails.

I just need to have the courage to go through with it

It sounds like you have your presentation worked out.  It sounds nicely androgynous.  I am glad you are having positive shopping experiences and are getting advice from those in the know.  I am guessing that you will make a good impression on the psychologist.  Good luck!

Danielle, thank you for the vote of confidence. I'm not so sure that I'm ready but putting it in writing kind of pushes me that little bit further.

KathyLauren, I'm realky hoping I have the courage to follow through.  Thanks for your support

Good luck, Petunia! Really, you don't even need luck; just be yourself. After all, that's what you're there for - to show your therapist as genuinely as you can who you are, how you feel, what you want, etc. Whatever you feel ready to present is where you are at that moment, and that's what they need to see to provide you with the guidance you're there to receive. It's all good. Please let us know how it goes.

So I woke up with that deep urge.

The weather here has finally cooled so I can now wear my favourite nighty my wife bought me in the before times.

My wife went out shopping and back problems meant I stayed home.

I couldn't sleep so I tried on the clothes and lipstick I was going to wear.

I felt I needed to give myself a good jilling so O got my toys out.

To be clear, this wasn't a fetish thing, I just needed a relief.

It was pretty satisfying event but not the leg vibrating exhilaration I envisaged.

I cleaned up and went back to bed to relax my back.



After lunch, I chickened out.
My wife forbade my going out crossdressed even though I have been stealthily doing it for months.



But then I thought about it more. Where is the safest place I can dress?  I'm already out to my psychologist so what's the big deal.

So I left the house with a tiny back with what I needed. I changed bits on they way.

As I planned before, blouse, jeans, flats with tinted moisturiser and lipstick.

It's a short walk from the shopping centre to the office. I stopped for a leak and to get my lipbrush out for a final contour.

I was shaking as I sat in the waiting room.

But wow.

My psychologist is such a cool lady.

No reaction to my appearance but a simple acceptance that something has changed.

I have issues with visual things so I asked for a photo

It wasn't pretty.

Anyway, the session went well, centred around gender, cding, gender, and more gender, which is a long way from where we started.
 
I came home almost forgetting my lipstick, it was kind of neutral, but my wife had tidied up "my room,"

My girl and guy stuff are neatly folded together. I know there are things she hasn't seen before.

Small steps.

I can't let europhia destroy the only thing in my life that matters.

That sounds like a nice day overall Petunia. I'm glad the therapist session went well for you.

I can't really offer advice on the wife front as I have no experience on these matters but it sounds like she is tolerating the CD which is good.

Thank you all.
The day overall was a positive experience.

My wife and I sat down in the afternoon and started to decompress my therapy.

I explained that most of it was about my cding. I also said I tried to explain that my depression has started to lift (not related to gender stuff) and said to my psych that my wifes depression had dropped.

My wife was pissed that I had discussed our relationship.

I don't know how to respond to that because our relationship is the most important thing in my life.

Unrelated, I was out on my bicycle the day before and came across a motorcyclist broken down on a main road. Long story short I got hone to find I had a massive burn or bruise on my forearm after taking of my long sleeve top.


So yesterday my wife asked for my phone. I didn't know why but we are open about sharing anyway.

She wanted to compare my original photos to how my marks now looked.

Ooops, I didn't know what she wanted but the first photo was of me at my pyschologists.

I asked my therapist to take a photo so I could see what I looked like.

I have an issue with visualisation of myself.

Anyway..... big big big mistake

Glad that this was overall a good day for you. I wouldn't say its unusual to discuss your relationship at therapy becsuse it's basically a huge part of your life. Not sure why she is upset about that.

Oh so your wife has seen the photo which is after you changed into your female attire. I hope you didn't get too much bother. But it is what is and its real. Maybe this will eventually get some progress?

Sending you love and best wishes.

Therapy sessions can certainly be helpful to many.
They help to clarify things.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Thanks Charlotte

The problem is I already promised her that I wouldn't crossdress outside the house. Ever.

My wife read me the riot act and told me if someone we know finds out it means we will be divorced.
In the city where we live we know hundreds of people with quite a wide network.


We both agreed we don't want to break up but she was going through and listing assests.

The thing is I have been going out in womens clothing almost every day. 

Womens jeans, leggings, bike shorts, tee shirts,  it's just they aren't overly feminine in style.  Well, leggings are leggings and men don't really wear them here.

It seems the tipping point was the blouse, or as my wife called it, grandma blouse.

To be fair I am grandma aged and I was trying to be age approapriately dressed.

Oh no I'm so sorry as that sounds serious Petunia. Hopefully she is just lashing out with checking out the assets. But still it leaves you in a tricky place, as in a way this tested the water for say a future less restricted. But seems not so likely now.

I love some of the more grandma style stuff even myself, because it has a cuteness about it. You like what you like. I'm sure you looked great.

Wishing you love and hugs. I just wish i could magic you the freedom for you to express yourself as you wish. This world is messed up as everyone is bothered about making impressions to others, yet everything out there lacks any real integrity.

Anyways lets keep hoping.

At least i made one sensible choice. My psychologist has to write a report for my doctor.

She asked if she should include my gender story to that. I sat on that for a couple of hours and eventually said no.

Right now I'd be in deep trouble if I said yes and my wife found out.

I so wanted to say yes and open up the next step.

I did also come clean regarding my clothes.

I presentented the blouse to my wife and in her words,... I'd wear that, but I'm a grandma.   So my wife now owns my blouse. 

I didn't see that coming.

I also put on another long sleeve top, another satin blouse and my maroon jeggings.

She was fine but I can't wear the second blouse out because it's obviously feminine.

As far a the jeggings go, my wife saw the label (Zara) and when I had them on expecting they were an at home item, she said we need to go shopping for her.

So maybe not all is lost.
