I have been living this life since I was very young. Started with dress up games followed by several years later having this burning curiosity to try on my sister's skirt. The desire, the emotions, and the feelings have not let up over the years. If anything they have intensified and I have appreciated communities like this one helping to make us feel like we are not alone.
Update February 2025
I feel like the decision to join CDH has been life changing! In the past year I have felt so unbelievably supported. I came out to my wife in December 2024 which was extremely challenging but is moving forward positively. I have my own closet now in the house to organize and take better care of all my femme things. I have started therapy with my wife supporting me on this journey. I can't wait for more time to help me understand this part of me. I start my weekly cadence in March. Sometimes it is the little things and for me there was an enormous milestone this past week. While she has not been interested in meeting this side of me directly, we have had a lot of open conversations. She has been amazing. When we were out on vacation and shopping in an area after dinner, we found some really nice outfits for her for an upcoming event. This included some nice jewelry, pants, and top. Out of nowhere, she asked if I wanted anything for me? I was speechless. It was such a loving, open, caring moment that I am still blown away. I hope you all have such a wonderful life partner! I am so incredibly grateful for all of you and for my spouse!
UPDATE March 2025
I am working to integrate more and more of life with Janet time. I bought leggings, sports bras, and some hair toys for doing pilates and yoga. I found that I am more excited to do the routines and spend the time working on core, pointing toes, and being graceful when I dressed. It has been a fun step!

What’s really important about this photo is that it illustrates a very important point. Eyebrows are important. Yes, on the grand scale they’re little things. But they really can make a big difference. For many of us, including me, eyebrows are a challenge. Many of us have fairly bushy ones. So they can easily distract from your feminine presentation. I myself take care of my eyebrows in the way you’re doing it on the left. And that works to some degree. But the only way to really get your eyebrows right is to do it that way women do.

@Angela Wagner thank you for the lovely compliment!! I was really torn about the new hair and it is growing on me through reinforcement from my beautiful peers like you! I do love that we can switch our looks significantly by choosing which hair to go with on any given day! Youthful and cuter are certainly outcomes that will drive future choices! The big thing about the transition in my brows was I stopped stressing about what others would think of them. Sounds similar but on a smaller scale to the stresses we feel about presenting femininely in general. I… Read more »
What a difference the brows make! From really good to Spectacular! 🥰
Crazy isn’t it the difference brows make! I have been checking out women’s too and the different shapes and what I like and aspire to. I think they are as important as hairstyle in creating your image.
you look so much more feminine with your new brows
Thanks! I think so, too!
Janet, I just have to say you look amazing. You are perfectly feminine. My goodness, what a beauty you are. I just love your look. 🩷💕
Good morning and thank you so much, @Melissa Penning ! You are so stylish yourself that means a lot!
Janet, what a great idea-to show a one year difference! You look good in both, but IMO, considerably younger and somewhat prettier in the 2025 image. Your smile helps also. You really do look like a ciswoman to me. You always look incredible and we all strive to be as close as possible but your 2025 picture IS a female.
@Michelle Wayne I have talked to my wife about the difference makeup makes in our appearance – shedding years if not decades. I wish I could use it all the time! I have certainly been working at making my look better and better and appreciate the high compliment!
Janet, your eyebrows look amazing!
Thank you @Sophia Taylor ! It has made such a huge difference in my confidence!
Wow, nice job Janet! You encouraged me to spend more time on mine. Thanks for sharing. Marg
My pleasure @Marg Produe ! They really helped soften my look in drab mode as well. I think it is just a more pleasing and approachable look!
I can so relate. I’ve been working my browse also. Doing anything fem is a joy for me. :)..swim daily, so I stay shaved and smooth. My hair is over my shoulders And I love it.. My nails are a bit long ..I play guitar so just tell people need them long to pick lol. Love your feminine journey Post. You look wonderful.

Thanks, Demi! Loved your pic from the Cape! You look so happy and pretty in all your pics. Nice to meet you!!
Looks fantastic!!! Such a dramatic difference. Also loving the bleach blonde lookin on you!
Thanks, @Michelle Jamison ! I didn’t think I would like the new hair and am falling in love with it! Love the longer length that I can play with and put up. Funny how something so small as your eyebrows can make such a dramatic difference!
