GENEVIEVE'S GEMS

I need to make sure my slip isn't showing.

GENEVIEVE'S GEMS


The journey may be confusing at times and the stream of gender never ending but we will arrive somewhere we have never been.

Last night, I met with my bible study group. I usually dress at the community center then head out to dinner before the meeting. This time I was going home dressed. I informed my spouse the day before that I was coming home as 'Gennee'. She said okay. She has never seen me fully dressed up. I was wearing blue flats, blue skirt and a blue and yellow print blouse.

When I arrived home her eyes widened. "How do you like?" I inquired.
"You look good." she replied. Her attitude about my dressing is more open since we disccussed it at length a few weeks ago. We share skirts, blouses, and jewelry. She said that I have more jewelry than she's ever owned in her life. Wow, did I feel good!

During the summer I will be leaving the house as 'Gennee' when my son moves out in June. I can't wait. I am much freer and so want to express my feminine side more. Having a wife who lets me be myself is a blessing.

I was looking over some old short stories I had written several years ago. I fancied myself being a stripper, a leather enthusiast,and a connoisseur of the alternative lifestyle. I never actually participated in these things because they didn't really fit me.

As I think about it now, my gender questioning started around this time and I didn't know it. I was writing about something that I did not understand. This was around 2001 or 2002. I have long believed that people are a dichotomy of two people, the feminine and the masculine. Many people won't admit that they have both for fear of being labeled weird, soft, or not manly or feminine. The feeling that I was different was strong at this time.

Finding where one fits in can be a long and arduous task. When I found out that I was transgender, the next task was to feel comfortable in my new identity. I was over a year before I felt comfortable and content with my identity.

Maybe this was God's way of leading me to the place to where I am today. I'm still exploring my identity and seeing where the journey will take me. Perhaps my successes will encourage others who are struggling.

GENEVIEVE'S GEMS

The greatest feeling one can have is to be content and at peace with who
they are. What others think or say is irrelevant.

I purchased another item today for my wardrobe. It was a blue and green print blouse. I can't wait until the weather gets warmer. I feel freer to be 'Gennee' ever since I shared more of her to my wife. The fact that she wants to borrow my stuff is exciting. Easier on the pocket book. We have been married 28 years (May) and it has been wonderful.

When I first told her about my crossdressing she was shocked at first. She has come to accept this part of me, though she thinks I'm weird ( a fact I own up to). I wish that partners were more accepting of their mates dressing because they desire to express another side to them. To me that's what life is about.Exploring, challenging, and creating. I came to CDing late in life but I'm very happy that I did.
