Gemma Lovegood
Shy and kind closeted straight crossdresser. I started dressing very young (around 10), wearing my mother’s and sister’s things when I was alone. In my 20s I lived alone, and purchased several things of my own, including makeup. I worked for a gay man, and became a close friend of his, though I was and still am very straight. I went to several gay bars with him, and encountered many CDs, drag queens, and the full spectrum of the LGBTQ+ community. But, I could never find the courage to come out to him as a CD. I’m married for over two decades now and have never revealed my secret to my wife. We have countless gay friends (male and female), but I’ve never revealed myself to any of them. It seems strange, and is one of my biggest regrets. I’ve lived so long with this secret that it feels like I’ve passed a point of no return. Perhaps one day I’ll find the courage. I’m grateful for all of the friends and discussions I’ve had with others like me here at CDH. It truly feels therapeutic, and I’ve grown to accept these desires that I have, and to realize there are so many like me in the world. That gives me great peace.
Gemma, upon further reflection (pun intended), I realize now that your appearance on the balcony, while an important moment, is not the main story. The big news is that you have now created Gemma in the flesh, a complete woman from head to toe. This is an origin story. And here’s what astonishes me. You had basically one weekend, one shot, to get it right. And look at the result! Damn, girlfriend, you look fine! A real beauty — your first time out! It took me months of experimentation, failure, and success to figure out Angela’s look. You created this… Read more »
I can’t tell you how much this moves me!!! Thanks so much. I’m truly overwhelmed, and so very nice to be seen, heard, loved and understood. Gratification level !
Much more to come!!! -Gemma

I’m definitely “over the moon” today!! Thank you.
Congratulations Gemma, I am so happy for you! That is a very big step you have taken. And you look lovely, you present as a very attractive woman. It is such a wonderful, exciting and awesome feeling when you look in the mirror and finally realize that, yes, you can pass as an attractive woman isn’t it? For me, it was a life changing experience. You are about to embark on the most thrilling part of your dressing journey. Enjoy!

Thank you Fiona! It’s been a long time, too long, and I can’t wait to find the time again soon. -Gemma
Gemma, I am so happy for you! How wonderful! You look fabulous!
Thank you, Davina! I certainly felt fabulous, and so at ease.
Yes, you have let the cat out of the bag, so let her prowl about. We habe all had our small steps, and you took a big first step, and I suspect not your last. Getting out and about en femme is such a magical experience, and now that you have had a taste of it no doubt you will want more. It takes time, and there is no rush, so just allow your confidence to build, and it will. Don’t let set backs hold you back. Just enjoy being your femme self and let others worry about their issues.
Yes, all of that!! Thank you.
Great pictures, Gemma! Now that you’ve seen yourself, I hope you will begin to share with the world 🙂
Thank you! I’m getting there. One step at a time.
@Gemma Lovegood, I know it is a small step but doesn’t it feel great to be so free. I have only been out in public once but I cannot wait to go out in public again.
It was exhilarating! I’m looking forward to my next getaway soon.
Gemma, congratulations on finding a fantastic look! You are gorgeous!
Thank you, Lara!!!
… well done_ it takes a ton load of bravery to cross the boundaries like that _ but cross them we must to reflect our true inner selves … I’m just coming out with myself as trans / bi and its the scariest thing I have ever done… but we only have one shot at this life so …
love

Gemma, very well stated! You will have a fabulous experience when you venture into the world as as a woman for the first time …a bit scarey but sooo extremely thrilling! I believe you will find yourself comfortable when revealing yourself to other crossdressers, I know I did. Oh, and lovely pictures girl!
