But affirmation as a gal is unlike anything else I ever experienced, and I can see why it's so compelling to think about transitioning.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552905563811632860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383236105308499589.post-8807417523851652392010-12-22T18:48:57.130-05:002010-12-22T18:48:57.130-05:00So well written and thoughtful, Meg.

You nailed it.<br /><br />Regardless of what we do or how far we can press the dressing envelope there is great satisfaction and peace of mind in knowing that you have done the best you can under whatever circumstances you face.<br /><br />There are various ways that we can define ourselves. Some may be content to dress at home. Others find contentment in the occasional foray into the the protected world of secret walks or drives, or support group meetings or even CD safe establishments while others have the need to interact with the 'civilian population' either by passing or by being accepted as having defined ourselves as a CD/TV/TG/TS/whatever.<br /><br />You are so correct that the holy grail for those of us who are CD has to be finding peace within ourselves, with who we are and who we may be. Actually reaching the holy grail is at best temporary but the carry over effect is a good feeling.<br /><br />Yesterday I was at CD peace. Fully dressed from early afternoon. My wife liked how I turned out. The makeup was good. The wig turned out nicely. I wore a light grey suit over a black shell and spent the day in a new pair of 3 1/4" pumps. I made a great pot of soup and felt the pleasant pain of standing in my new heels while I chopped and diced the meat and veggies for the soup. I died inside when the Giants folded to the Eagles but felt a bit better when the Jets held on over the Steelers.<br /><br />My affirming highlight was when my wife asked my help in selecting an online dress for a wedding we need to attend in Feb. She saw how I looked in gray and she felt free to go with a nicely styled dress in what for her would be an experimental color. Perhaps the interplay of of my gray suit with my blonde wig, which is very close to her natural blonde hair was inspirational. I was glowing in my role as girlfriend, dress consultant, well dressed homemaker, etc. All day she treated me as if it was just a perfectly normal and natural Sunday at home.<br /><br />Accpetance of myself as I am, augmented by my wife's acceptance, was the holy grail.<br />PatPat Scaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148601231866277374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383236105308499589.post-28985320968629058932010-12-20T09:43:18.539-05:002010-12-20T09:43:18.539-05:00I think you are right on this, even Stana, who is ...I think you are right on this, even Stana, who is for many of us something of a role model, only seems to have hit this level of confidence this year with her trip to New York. Heve been out quite a few times now, but there is always that combination of excitment, elation, fear and trepidation. However I know that for myself, I am much more comfortable with myself towards the end of a dressed day, certainly I never want them to end and get back into drab<br /><br />Paula GAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
