I live in a very diverse area. People from all walks of life. Middle classed, working classed, and many who have fallen on hard times and have turned to drink and drugs to help make their way through life.

I was walking to the post office. As I was walking, a young lady who's life hasn't been good to her, said "Nice Skirt!" I smiled at her. She didn't see this and said louder "Nice skirt!". I thanked her and said it came from a charity shop. The skirt was a short light and dark tan plaid pattern. It was the first time I'd worn it.

We spoke for a little while, and then she said "I hope you don't mind, but are you a man?" I told her that I was, and that crossdressing is something I do to keep my head in a good place. She said that I looked great and that I have great taste in clothes, and that my outfit was amazing (Orange jumper, black opaque tights, knee length boots and a leather jacket). Again I thanked her. We talked about her a little. A relationship breakdown caused her to end up on the streets. Her parents didn't want her. She now has a place in the hostel up the road, so she has somewhere to live, get fed, and shower etc. She fell into addiction of drink and drugs, but is now clean of drugs thanks to the hostel. She's OK! She, like me, loves living where we live because of it's diverse nature. We talked of this diversity, and she said that I was part of this diversity.I was the only crossdresser that she has ever met. She said that the large muslim community around us (there is a mosque at the end of my street) has been a great help, and that they support the hostel with donations of food and bags of clothing. We chatted for maybe 20 minutes. 
I walked on to the post office, and popped into the adjoining shop for some milk. I then bought a bag full of snacks, chocolate, drinks (soft) and biscuits. As I returned home, I gave this bag to this young lady. She asked my name. I gave her both of mine, and she replied "Kind Cerys. That's what I'm going to call you". I'm not going to lie, this touched me. It made me well up. 
It's interactions like this that make life special. This young person with next to nothing, made me feel amazing. Two weeks ago, I lost my job. If it wasn't for my wife having a great job, I could easily find myself in a similar position. Being unemployed is seriously screwing me up, and Cerys is keeping me sane. This young lady boosted me. She'll never fully know how much her "Nice skirt" and the following conversation means to me. I'll see her around. I pass the hostel every day. I hope to chat again soon.

Cerys

@dazzler A wonderful & heartwarming story. It's all too easy to walk through life missing simple interactions with strangers. I have noticed that, since moving to a small rural town these things are much more common & life is all the better for it. I hope you get your work situation resolved soon but I can heartily recommend retirement if you can afford it 😘

Hi my dear

A compliments can changes your day completely.

Two day ago I was looking something at marketplace in Facebook, always like to see the offers , when I found one site that sells makeup, it is a Turkish brand and it said "waterproof and sweat proof Foundation".this is what I need it. I send a message to this site and immediately answer the owner, a young lady , 25-26 years old maybe, and she asked me in what color so I need the Foundation, at this moment she doesn't know I am a man.

I said I don't know , she replied me , "could you please send a a picture of you, to advices you what color you need." I was scared but finally I calmed and send a picture mine and a picture of Odeth fwith fully makeup.

She said wow, big change !!!

You looks very pretty!!!

That words made me the day!!!

I explained her I am a crossdresser, and why I do what I do, she also give her a tour about differences between a transgender woman, a queer guy, etc. I explained the pink fog in short words.

She told me she didn't know about us, she only know , like many people here a crossdresser is a gay man who likes to wear female clothes, mostly for prostitution purposes.

After I explained all, she offered me some colors that would match with my skin, but , in the pictures with makeup I looks more white than usual, she told me she can deliver the product in my house to see me and give a accurated color of product.

I said yes , next day she came with his husband , both have this bussines to sells this brand locally and she brought me a variety of products, I saw it all and bought some of them,maybe 100US Dollars in products, ( compact powders, Foundations, concealer, etc)

And she asked me to see my pictures with makeup when I tried the products.

Today I used all what I bought and I sent her my first pictures.

She told me " what a beautiful woman I see" If I find you driving a car I would never realized you are a man!! Even I wouldn't recognized you if I don't see this pictures!!!

That compliment of a woman is valuable for me , even if she did just to make the sells, I felt so nice and my mood changed for the whole day!!

You're right about a compliments, but here in a third world country with transphobic people around , this is pure Gold!!!!

Kisses and hugs

Odeth

Hi Cerys, that was a beautiful event, thanks for sharing it with us. Being able to help someone so openly while crossdressed makes you a real ambassador for the crossdressing community 😀 .

I liked your description of what you were wearing and I reckon the young lady's assessment of your fashion sense was spot on - a very autumnal outfit.

Like everyone else, I really hope you soon once again find a job that you love.

Thanks again, Cerys.

@dazzler Such a lovely, positive story. I was in Cardiff on Saturday and find it a wonderful, positive place and I got a lot of shopping done (en-homme).

It's only the second time I've been there and I've really enjoyed both visits.

Good luck on the job front,

Anna xx

Hi Cerys, 

A very interesting account of your day and the area you live in, especially your interaction with the young lady. I would look forward to seeing her again and spending some more time talking to her. She sounds like one of those people who, although they have next to nothing in the material way, have a great deal in the way of soul.

That’s a lovely story Cerys, thanks for sharing it.
We sometimes forget how easy we could find ourselves in a similar situation to this young lady.

Good luck with your own job hunt

@dazzler thanks for showing her kindness and compassion. So sorry to hear you lost your job-thankful to hear that your wife still works and that you will not be destitute. That had to feel great to hear the compliment, have human connection with someone, and be able to offer them kindness in return. A large part of what our lives are all about in my opinion. Thanks for going the next step and sharing it with us. Brings me a smile and some encouragement for the day. Take care.

Cerys -

What a wonderful experience for you. Shows you never know where and when a bit of light will enter your life. If only others would be as open as you were the world would be a better place. I hope you get to see that young lady again. 

Good luck on the job front,

XOXO
