I have been dressing like a girl and later as a woman since childhood. Over the years, I have been out and about as a female many times, but I took a 15+ year long hiatus for relationship reasons. Sometime in the summer of 2024, my wife of 40+ years suddenly changed her mind about my dressing and now completely accept my dual persona, even to the point of participation. Since that happened, I have been out again a fair bit, exploring the world through my rose colored glasses. I like to dress smart, but realistic. I go for the complete experience with shape, hair, makeup etc, but can just as well be seen in jeans and a simple top as in a pretty dress and high heels. I was born in 1959, you do the math, but I feel and present more like I was from 1979.
