Copied from my "transgender journey" I just updated in my profile. I wanted to share the big step and decision I made. I no longer consider myself a man dressing as Renee, but I am Renee who for now, needs to display a male persona most of the time, but Renee is the real me.
I finally realized that crossdressing was a part of my life that I did not want to ignore in the late winter of 2016. I had been dressing on and off in private since my teens, buying women's clothes and makeup, but purging over the years. This year I decided life was too short to live with being who I truly am and I accepted that I am a crossdresser and enjoy it. I became more daring (less cautious?) over the months that I embraced my dressing and my wife discovered me with toenail polish which led to my coming out to her. She is accepting in theory, but is still not sure how my being Renee affects our relationship. We have gone out together once with me dressed fully en femme. My trans daughter (formerly son) went with us. We had a good time, but I think she realizes our lives would be simpler if I was just the man she thought she knew all about for over 35 years. I've been reflecting on my need to dress and the cost if may have for me. I've decided I need to be honest with who I am and that I want to do more than just "dress the part" of being female. I have come to the conclusion that I am a trans-female. I have just begun blocker therapy and depending on how this goes, I hope to start estrogen treatment in a few months. As I start on the road to become the woman I have come to realize I am inside, I am both excited and anxious. I appreciate the support I have received from CDH. Hugs and kisses, Renee--the real me.
Hello, Renee.
Congratulations on taking a huge step! I hope you'll be happy and that your loving wife will be accepting of it. I hope that everything will work out for you. I'm still in the stages of getting funds for transitioning, as my family isn't supportive, and I am still a student, so it's hard to do something like this in South Africa. My studies might finish this year, so I am hoping for a nice paying full-time job, that'll be accepting of me transitioning.
Hugs,
Alexis.
Awesome! You GO! Renee!.I wish I was HALF the girl you are!💋💋💋
