I was able to wear something femme other than panties. I wore my favorite pink top after almost a month without dressing up. I still felt femme though I didn't dress.

It was cool today so it's time to look for some sweaters and skirts. My support group is starting again this Wednesday. I hope to be out dressed more because I need to be. Right now I'm organizing my time because there's so much to do. Schoolwork, writing, job, homework, There's so much that I have to say so I'm putting things in order.

it signals that a new journey lay ahead.

Unless a person is willing to make a lifestyle change, nothing will really improve their well being.

I just finished reading My Husband Betty by Helen Boyd. It's a very good read and I recommend it highly. One highpoint for me is the need for transvestites to get to know and understand the rest of the community. I have learned so much from transsexuals. I want to know about FTMs, genderqueer, leather, BDSM, and others.

I try to read at least one book per month. I'm always browsing the bookstores. St. Mark's Bookshop is one of my favorite places for out of the ordinary books and magazine. Located in the East Village, it has served the community for over thirty years. Lambda Rising is another good source. Another favorite is Ebookslib.com, an internet source that I have a quirky appeal to.

If' you recognize a calling on your life, seek it, gather all the information you can, then follow the promptings.

I haven't posted in severals days because I moved to a new apartment. Finally got done yesterday but still have a lot of unpacking to do. I haven't dressed for several days but I'm not stressed by it. I'm still TG whether or not I'm dressed.

Once I get settled I will post more things of substance.

LET'S LEARN ABOUT ALL THE GROUPS UNDER THE TRANSGENDER UMBRELLA

It's been a few days since I last posted. I will be moving to a new apartment on Saturday. Classes have started so I don't how frequent I will be able to blog but I'll try.

I will be dressing more after we get settled. I'm at the point now that I need to be involved with the community. Transvestites need to get their voices heard. I'm looking at the other communities for ideas and direction.

Labor Day weekend was quiet. I have been looking for more long sleeve blouses, skirts, dresses, and sweaters. Plenty of nice colors, too. There willbe plenty of places to go so i have to plan the wardrobe accordingly.

I saw the movie 'World Trade Center' today. It was a decent movie which reminded me of the events of that infamous day five years ago. Whatever your feelings about it, let's not forget those who died.

I started classes this week and I'm happy to be back. I graduate in a year. I have been writing a lot and it seems that I have much to say. It just comes out of me. It's possible that some life changing event will happen to me. What it is I don't know.

I haven't dressed all week but I will tomorrow. I take that back. I wear panties every day. I wore a bra, panties, a cami today. So I did dress. My bad. When the fall and winter sets in I will dress in primarily sweaters and skirts. For some reasons I prefer skirts over ladies pants (for now). Maybe its because I wear them as a male.

Tribulations serve to strengthen our character.

A long weekend coming up and I can't wait. I'm trying to decide how many times that I will dress up. I'm looking for clothes for the fall which is my favorite season of the year. I'm a sweater and skirt gurl. I saw some lovely long sleeve blouses and skirts at a thrift store. A winter coat is also in order. I may try some boots, too.

The summer has come and gone so fast. It was a great summer for me personally. I went out dressed many times, witnessed others transformation and maturity, and I found my comfort level as a transgender. I start class tomorrow in British literature. I have written much this year and more writing is in order. There's so much within me that needs to get out.

My nieces came up from Virginia to visit my wife and me. They stayed overnight. We ate fried chicken and macaroni and cheese, played games, and watched TV. It was fun.

On Friday evening I was out on the street dressed. I passed by a man panhandling for money. I dug into my purse and retrieved a few coins. I walked up to him and deposited them in his coffee cup.
"Thank you very much, Ma'am." I am still euphoric today about the comment. It's amazing how people perceive and react to you when I change my persona.

I will be starting classes on a few days. I can't wait. I was shopping for my fall and winter wardrobe. Saw some nice long sleeve blouses and some skirts. My first winter coat is in order, too.

I am going to see the movie 'World Trade Center' tomorrow. I'm curious to see how the people and the events are portrayed. I'm looking at the fall fashions. I'm a sweater and skirt gurl and I'm still searching that elusive black dress.

TGURLS HAVE MORE FUN.

It was a muggy day today. I'm packing more stuff for the move we will make in a few weeks.

My spouse likes a lime green blouse that I purchased a month ago. It goes with my light green floral and black skirts. I'm looking for brown shoes now. I love shopping now and look at as an event. I'm planning my fall wardrobe. I love wearing sweaters and skirts.

STAY POSITIVE, THINK YOUNG,
DO SOMETHING FOR OTHERS.

Things have been busy. I have been writing blogs, a short story, an essay, working on a play, and reading about famed author Edgar Allan Poe. I will be writing an essay about him.

I am searching for a transgender group that I want to become involved with. There's so many of them so I'm researching some of them on the internet. I registered for three classes this fall. Two of them are writing courses. I'm looking forward to taking those classes. I have a pretty full schedule this year. I graduate next year.

Today, I'm going to pick some earrings for myself. Clip-ons will have to do until I get my ears pierced.

I really feel good today. Life has been moving along rather well. I will start college again soon, move to a new apartment, and do more writing.

I was browsing the thrift shops and department stores for a nice black blouse or top. I didn't find one that I liked. Later, I found a black button down blouse in my spouse's wardrobe. I'm going to borrow it one day soon. We share our skirts and tops. Such is the wonderful life of a transvestite.

I am happy to see more films about transgendered men and women. I would love to see a play written, produced, directed, and acted by transgenders and crossdressers.

I was out dressed in the park yesterday afternoon and early evening. I was read by a few people. Two young women in particular chatted to themselves but I know they read me. I kept on going expressing and enjoying myself.

The park is by the water and it is so serene and peaceful. Joggers, bladers, joggers, and strollers convene in the park but I felt so peaceful and content. I just sat on a bench admiring the sunset and the activity. I thought that I was going to be hit upon by a couple of gents but nothing came of it. It was a wonderful evening. I didn't feel like I dressed my best but I needed to be out there.

My urge to dress has gotten stronger as I go further on this journey. I enjoy my life as a transgender and I wonder where this journey will take me? I imagine some people will come my way because, perhaps, some one needs the encouragement to go on and be their true selves.

IN MY ACCEPTANCE AS A TRANSGENDER, I FOUND COMPLETENESS

I posted numerous threads on the forums that I subscribe to. I'm very happy that many of my friends are moving ahead in their lives. they, in turn, have encouraged me in my journey.

I will be moving soon (not one of my favorite activities). It's a one bedroom apartment and gas and electric are included in the rent. It's amazing how much junk you accumulate over time. My wife and I will be putting a lot of stuff in the trash.

My love for shopping has increased. I need to think about my fall wardrobe. I'm a sweater and skirt gurl so i'm seeing which are the hot fall colors this year. I'm trying to decide if I will wear boots this year. A nice car coat is a must.
