Quote from: davina61 on Today at 02:34:59 AMHappy birthday for today! get the red nails on, its my fav colour.
I love this casual post, Davina! 

Red nails and red lipstick felt like a huge turning point for me and tasted like freedom. It took a long time to be able to glove myself permission. I somehow thought this step would generate stares and comments from random people or those who know me. It only brought a few affirmations.

And still we (well, at least I) have this doubt, this fear, this hesitation, about just painting them RED. I wil probably get there in the end, or not, but my pace is a bit slow. I integrate things with the speed that comes naturally to me. No insane speeding. Hopefully not too much braking. As it feels good and natural.
Out to self since March 5, 2026. My wife knows it all since June 23.
Integration ongoing. I'll cross the transition bridge when I get to it.

Happy birthday Anna!

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.

I agree about the process being personal and at the speed you need. I can look back and wish I hasn't taken two years to get beyond simple subtle earrings and nail polish, but I also know that is what I had to do. I tried something, felt overwhelmed at first, waited for my system to accept it, and then I was ready for more. 

People told me I should just get over it and dress any way I wanted. I thought they were either crazy or they didn't understand the deeply conservative area I live in. 

I was wrong on both counts but I still had to find my own pace. 

The great part was it was like my first time on a roller coaster. Terrified to try it. Has good reasons. Tried it. Screamed and felt my bones feel weak. Then got in line to do it again.

In the end, it was so joyous I had to try more things. It hasn't changed, either. Wear a wig?! Who would do that? Would you like 9 reasons not to? I have them. No one is convincing me otherwise. 

Yet

But my feminine soul hopes someone will encourage me. Gently push. Because dammit I love how I feel and look in my favorite wig! 

I can't help but laugh at myself - in a kind way

Krista,

It is wonderful to feel so delightful in your appearance.  I mean, for me, I am not one of those beautiful women but I can look nice, at least sometimes!

You have such a healthy attitude! I try to focus on my strengths, and to enjoy feeling content with my gender.
