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!
