Thongs can be a Revelation into the big picture

About two years ago my best friend while out shopping with me purchased several pairs of Calvin Klein thongs then presented them to me when we returned to her home. I was both happy and sad, happy because I knew they would be worn at least once to celebrate while sad because it would be two years until they could be worn.

Two years is a long time and the thongs ended up in storage which I just found this week and thought it would be great to try them on which I did and love them. Okay then I thought that I will need pantie liners and don’t remember seeing them in my local grocery store but went back and sure enough they do have them. So for the past several days I have been in thong heaven. Went out today to Victoria’s Secrets and hunted for thongs but I don’t believe it, I did not like any of them accept of course the ones that were too large (I wear size small). Off to Macy’s and they not only had what I wanted and better quality but were three dollars cheaper woohoo.

So what is the big deal about thongs, by themselves absolutely nothing by themselves but just another point in fact that I am female (hear me roar lol). 

I think that many who are on the path of transitioning to that gender, in this case, female sometimes look at the big picture and forget about the small things which in this case is clothing but is also about their environment and how (at least for me) overtime one can look back and see a trail of breadcrumbs that make up the total package of the new you.

These little things that make up the package range from people opening doors to men flirting with you. A good example, I went to the mall and while waiting for my friend I sat down and was on my phone checking out Facebook and the man next to me turned and said, nice nails which was his opening to check me out. Yes I am into females which is not the point here. The point is that after two years of being out and three months post-op (and hormones) I truly act and react as a female. These things only come from being out in the real world, interacting with real people rather than sitting a home dressed. Now I am not saying someone who is not planning on transitioning should get out into the real world but those who are indeed moving towards GRS (Gender Reassignment Surgery). This is why part of the requirement is to live in the gender you are moving towards. Heck I never realized thinking back how challenging it can be to live every second of my life as female and would think most can’t fathom what it is like until you actually do it.

So the thongs may seem like a small and insignificant thing but it depends on how you look at the big picture and then dissect what makes up the larger picture kind of like a jigsaw puzzle.  

This is what I am into for what it's worth in thongs in black, red and while. My friend gave me one in yellow but I am not into yellow for undies.

Karen,

This was such a great entry!  I especially look forward to your new posts based on where you are in transitioning as I start to look much more seriously at my own.  It's enlightening to see where I could be in a couple of years (obviously everyone's experience is different, but certain issues, concerns and joys are no doubt shared by many!)

At lunch the other day the waiter came up to me and my co-worker and said "is everything OK here ladies?"  I was quite happy about that, especially since I wasn't in full femme presentation!

Xoxo

Christie, I bet that a great emotional high in regards to "is everything OK here ladies?" and especially when not in full femme presentation. In the beginning they are moments to treasure and down the road you will surely find it commonplace which should still bring a smile be it inside and/or outside as it makes us less of a role and more of the person you were striving to be but now it's simply a compliment that the waiter is being courteous to whom is at the table and you will forget about the passing aspect altogether.

Hi Karen,

Strangly enough I wear thongs most of the time and I am still waiting for GRS, I find that getting them in slightly smaller size helps me to tuck my junk a lot better, and also I find them very comfortable. I suspect that they'll be a whole lot more comfortable post GRS............

Yes, getting called madam and ladies is quite commonplace now, and when I'm out I'm out and about I don't really think about passing, I'm too busy being me.

Cheers Eve

Good idea Eve, I had a similar thought about going to a smaller size but had issues finding extra small in a style I liked. I did go with a smaller size gaff that I had made especially for me which worked and then improved on it by pulling a boy shorts Spanx on top which assisted with me teaching self-defense classes as without the Spanx no tucking would had worked for eight hours of hand to hand tactics training.

Staying with thongs, I purchased two more pairs today via Amazon Prime since they had pink and none of the stores here did.
