This is my transition story: at the age of 17 I was dared by my best friend during Halloween one year to dress up as a female. And doing this dare both he and I and everyone else that was dared dressed from head to toe as a woman. This was the first time that I realized that I was born a woman and not a man. When I put on the dress the blouse the heels the wig the nails I felt like my life was complete. After that night I assumed that that was just a one-time thing but I couldn't help myself when I would look at myself and be disgusted and not happy with the normal activities that a guy does. I find myself more and more interested in the activities of a woman. 4 years now I have only dressed in the house around no one else and I have only attempted to go out in public one time. When I'm dressed I feel like myself and I feel like I'm free. My fascination with women's clothing started when I was about 8 years old and realized that I could put on women's underwear and wear them to bed. Now at 36 years old when I'm off work and I'm home I'm dressed as a woman I Feel Like a Woman and I feel complete. When I'm at work and I look in a mirror I see a woman that is yearning to get out of a body that she has been trapped in since birth. I have salt medical advice and it has been determined that I suffer from gender dysphoria. I'm new to expressing my feelings to people that I have yet to meet. I'm seeking a place where I can be myself share my stories and learn from others. The next step for me is living full-time both at work and at home as a female and then I will take the next step to fully transition into a woman with the sex reassignment surgery and then I will undergo the vocal reconstruction as well.
Thatβs wonderful Samantha. I read your Bio and the little note on your wall. I find it truly wonderful when you can be yourself at work and everyone goes on as they would if it were a normal day. Did you receive any compliments from the females at work? You are a very courageous woman to just jump right in. How long have you been on HRT? Anyway congratulations and thank you so much for hope. Love β€οΈ
