Retired and bereaved just over two years ago. I now have found a wonderful sense of peace and comfort with a sense of growing femininity. I have yet to venture out in public fully dressed but live almost entirely as a woman at home. I do however socialise as a woman online taking appropriate measures to protect myself. I prefer to see myself in a traditional female role, although I realise this is an ideal type, as it reflects my personality and interests. It is a great relief and pleasure to able to be my natural self rather than a masculine misfit. I am looking forward to expressing this more freely in the future. Very much enjoying CDH and the safe fun environment it provides. Despite being a retired Librarian I love chatting!
