Hi from Michelle in NZ

I’m Michelle and my crossdressing started back when I was a teen. I had dabbled a bit through my late twenties but once I got involved with a woman who I knew couldn’t process transgender issues, I buried Michelle away, but she was always below the surface. I watched and looked upon women and women’s clothing with desire, jealousy and envy while I was stuck in drab so she was never really gone. I am now 42 and that relationship has been over for over a year now, and I have been on a path to discover who I  really am. I now have a couple of good friends who have helped encourage me to let Michelle come out.

I have recently been to department and clothing stores, trying dresses, skirts, tops, etc on with their help, but I have not been out in public yet. I am still fairly inexperienced with this, but I know Michelle is a part of me who is here to stay. Now I have to figure out how to balance my life and be at peace, allow which persona is the right one, and pursue the search for happiness. Now I know that the turmoil of resisting the desire to be dress in pretty and sensual things is over, I can embrace it openly and be true to who I am.

Thanks for reading.

Michelle
