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, what a seriously sexy photo, the flash of stocking tops and suspender strap, the beautify off the shoulder dress, revealing your bra strap and your long hair cascading down over the other shoulder. So sexy, so pretty.
Thank you, very kindly. I’m so enamored with the female form, and though there are many things I don’t like about the photo, I feel like I was close to capturing something truly feminine.
Gemma, I have been waiting months to see this photo. You told me about it a while ago, and now it’s finally here! And what a wonderful photo it is! Very sexy and, yes, a little risqué. But you look wonderful. I remember the genesis of this photo. It’s from Gemma’s origin story — the weekend where you perfected Gemma’s look. And even though you admit yourself that it’s still a work in progress in this photo, I still have to admire how much you accomplished, and how beautiful you are. I am so glad you are back, Gemma!
Angela, it is so nice to again be able to share these moments with you, and the girls here at CDH. More than the accomplishments of becoming Gemma on my first getaway, I have gained friends who accept and celebrate this hobby, or desire, that we all have to crossdress. As they say, practice makes perfect. In my case, at least, I can say that practice makes progress.
Gemma, you are stunning!!
Thank you, Carissa!!!
Nice photo Gemma!
Thank you, Fiona!
I use Clinique “Beyond Perfecting Super Concealer” above my lip after putting on liquid foundation and then my powder, but my beard is not as dark as yours. Hope this helps
Thanks JackieBoy! I’ll give it a try.
I like this pose and it works especially well for this post, since you are sharing so much of your experience with us. I think you look great, but I know this is all a process. I have photos from a few years ago that seem like a totally different person. This sounds like it was a profound step for you. I’m glad to hear you’ve savored it and explored it. It’s all an evolution. The headband is really cute too!
Thank you, Marie! I too look at all of this as a growing experience. Self analysis and journaling the process is a important part of it all for me. I look forward to more opportunities to grow and improve, while also growing more comfortable with my truths, and flaws.
I’m also a straight guy but I love to become Jenna I’m lucky my girlfriend has encouraged me to take this further than I could have imagined she talked me into getting my ears pierced and going in public for the first time witch was scary but she told me to relax and said I look beautiful but it still felt like every eye was on me when we walked into a store but not a single person paid any attention to me and now she insists I go as her girlfriend Jenna wear every we go and I love… Read more »
I’m so happy for you Jenna! How wonderful that you have such a supportive partner.
Gemma, the photo is lovely and you have such a wonderful feminine presence. I love the pose.
Thank you, Julie!
I think you’re too hard on yourself. I think the photo is great. Yes, it’s revealing but it’s also kind of sweet in a way.
Lovely pictures
