  1. I have several other shots in this costume and will post them when I get back from a trip I am taking.
  2. Here we go - Halloween is upon us and I know that most of us like to dress for the occasion. Please show your favorite Halloween Costume here. Dawn - My latest photo I am using for a contest attached below.
  3. I am adding a blog item about Halloween Costumes.  Please join me there. :)

  4. I am sure the physical traits of our hands are only possible indicators. Does not mean that a person always fits the possibilities that such data supports. In fact, I am sure many/most people do not feel any difference other than just being normal. But combined with other factors, it does help me to understand some of why I am inclined to be transgender.
  5. "You Go and Keep Running Girl"  Quote yesterday passed to me by two women bicyclers who were talking as they took a break by the road.  Even after I said hello(Spoke) to them.  Here is one of the running outfits I wore in the last couple of days. :)

      Dear Dawn,

      Really love that well coordinated outfit on you!

      Agree with the lady bicyclists, "you go and keep running, girl!"

      Your friend,

      Monica

  6. For the first time I am seeing some solid data that shows that I am indeed likely inter-sexed. 1.2 ratio is so far on the right of the scale/off scale - My hand size and shape does support my past thoughts that both my brain and body received a good dose of the womb wash intended to go with me becoming female. This ratio I received was even way more than a normal female. Notable traits I have include arm length, hips, foot size/width, mouth and face size and overall bone structure; knee angles, etch, are those of a woman that later was dosed with testosterone. I have been measured several times and remember once being told my bones measurements matched several women and that I had a Q angle in my knee that is almost always a woman,s trait. There are also several syndromes that could also explain my body size and structure being mostly female. Here is a photo from a few days ago of me wearing a running outfit that I had not worn in years. I have actually slimmed down to where it is fitting me so much better so I felt comfortable in wearing it again. I think , my arms are now really showing the effect of the Feungreek. Much softer and smaller. But maybe I was predisposed to this anyway as my hand ratio may support.
  7. Image shows the measurement procedure of dorsal digit length using vernier calipers. The hand is placed on the edge of a table so that fingers are rested on table while making an angle of 90 degrees to the palm.
  8. How to measure - My ratio is 1.2 (Off the scale female) Raina try to measure this way. When I tried to eyeball my finger length I thought they were almost the same. But using this method I really was able to see the difference. Again - Image shows the measurement procedure of dorsal digit length using vernier calipers. The hand is placed on the edge of a table so that fingers are rested on table while making an angle of 90 degrees to the palm.

  10. I have been only recently aware of the hand traits that indicate transgender possibilities. Both the size and shape appear to be factors developed in the womb and could hold a key to why a person is transgender. For me I have both the size and shape in my hands that would indicate I am a woman. Here is a link to an article explaining this. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17906922/
  11. My favorite skirt shots from my 8 mile run in the woods.

      Monica Thanks - I love having nice clothing to wear when I run.  I actually think a lot about making sure everything is coordinated and is comfortable to wear.  Because, I now weigh and have measurements close to an average/almost petite woman my height, I fit/can wear a lot of really nice feminine sportswear.  (Not woman style clothing modified for a male body - in fact I am a bit turned off by male lingerie sized for men) 

      When I am out running, I am so concerned that I appear relaxed and that I do not show that I am nervous about what I am wearing.  I do feel like a woman and this is what I want those around me I encounter to feel - so I now avoid wearing necklines or bra tops that show off too much of my new development/cleavage.  Modest is better.  Better to have more coverage so I am not concerned about possible wardrobe malfunctions or too much concern about people speeding too much time looking at me and then maybe reading my gender.  So my persona is female and I am now living and experiencing it. :)

      Dawn, also you want to avoid unwanted male attention, as most women do!

      True - I never thought other men could scare me - but just a few days ago - a man in a passing car shouted at me and told me wanted me.  I am sure it was not what I would have wanted.  Sadly, this is a new life experience I am not used too.  The more I have become feminine, I am guessing this will continue to be common when I am out but I wish this would not be the case.

  12. Another great run yesterday wearing my new skirt.  Something about feeling the wind when I run.

      Dawn, I love that skirt and socks. They really flatter you!

  13. Latest run as a girl was fun - Ran 5 miles on a heat Index 100 degree day in MO - Stopped by a neat cave to cool off; was glad for the stop  - Noticing my arms a lot lately - so much less muscle and a much more feminine shape.  Will be adding a new herb soon - pueraria mirifica (kwao krua).  Running as a girl is so much more fun these days; yes lots of whistles.  :)

      Monica - Thanks for the comment - I do feel very feminine lately when I run now. Almost every time I am out lots of whistles and comments.  I remember one not too long ago - someone commended me for being "a beautiful and fit runner."  These are comments that help me know that I am getting so much closer to where I want to be. :)

  14. One of my older jogging outfits that I dug out to run 5 miles in.  The biggest difference is there are no breast forms this time,  having grown another half inch; why would I want to hide my girls. They are so much a part of me now.  I feel so free to run as a woman now. :)

      Very interesting border showing a beautiful lady runner wearing my favorite colors!

  15. Wow wearing a corset today -  It has been quite a while since I tried one of my corsets on and now that I am losing more weight again I am quite happy with the fit.

    Side note,  I just had a massage and leg wax, two days ago, and my therapist told me my "thin" legs would be the envy of many of the women she does as she made my legs bikini ready, smooth and silky, and she really noticed I had lost weight; called me "stick" person. She also noticed my arms were much smaller.  (definitely smaller, more feminine and less muscular than hers)

    Anyway - So I have a wonderful size 28" corset - Today as I schinced it down I started at about 32" waist and to get to 29.25" was the best I could do.  Still really does change my figure a lot.  Photo below.  Wearing my new Sweetheart Leotard. I have gone about half way now in losing weight to my goal of 138.  I am quite sure I will be able to make the 28" corset size when I get there.  Yes looking more feminine every day and loving it. :)

      Dear Dawn,

      Love your new corset and the complimentary burgundy unitard over it. The unitard fits you like a glove. Your figure is getting more feminine all the time!

      Your friend,

      Monica

  16. Was jogging with two of my girl friends last Saturday.  And a middle aged lady drove up by us and said she said to us "glad to see three pretty college girls out running" was "proud of us" for running.  (Yes, I was one of the three)  :)

      Another day of jogging, just being myself. Today I was jogging, wearing a blue bra tank top and women's; running shorts, Sun glasses, shoes and hat, near a construction site and a worker who was trying to make me turn back called me "Misses" two times as I told him that I could make it around the location without getting in their way.  I said "I can get safely around."  Still, as I did continue he and several other workers seemed to be staring at me.  Just tried to act normal but I did not want to have to go back away from the road they were closing down for traffic.  On another jog I had the below photo taken, from a few months ago; I finally had the courage to wear this pink running outfit on a 5 mile run and maybe it was too much pink, but I really liked the way the bra top and running skirt formed to my body shape.

  17. 30,000 views of my page - so super - I just wish I could hug everyone - but of course there is this virus to deal with.   Here is my latest photo/s.  Dawn :)

  18. Crazy all that is going on now as we are under stay at home rules.  Hoping to hear how everyone is doing?

      Dear Dawn,

      Don't know if you recall, but we once had a weekly telephone support group.

      Wonder if we can start it again, probably using Zoom.

      Keeping busy with telephone Town Hall meetings, webinars, taking classes, etc.

      Would you be open to a TGGuide Zoom support group?

      Am doing fine. How are you doing?

      Your friend,

      Monica

      Would love to do this - However,  I do not think I could do it while my wife is home.  She only partly supports the feminine body changes I have made.  She told me that she already sees me much more as a woman. but rather would not.  My wife was supportive for me going to a local counseling service for transgender people.  However, this along with everything else is currently closed. :(

      Dawn, that's a great picture of you!

  19. My Latest Salon Experience.

    Today was my final run to the salon I go to - as after today - it is closed due to the Virus Concerns.  But what a great experience I had today.  Putting the main phrase up front about how well I passed at the salon my stylist in her parting comment to me knowing that I would be at home a lot in the next few days; was that she "did not want me to come back pregnant."  Currently this is not possible, but she did have me walking out of the salon looking very much the lady.   I had everything done today almost like a fire sale because I would be one of her last customers for a currently unknown period of time.  Anyway I just had gotten a new set of lady's glasses made that I was wearing for the first time and I was not wearing a single item of menswear.  Yes, I had on a teal nice bra and some flowery lingerie beneath my women's sports wear.  I also had on some of my favorite perfume. 

    Before I went my wife had told me to have a wonderful girls experience at the salon.  So I had a manicure, a pedicure, my brows waxed and my hair cut and colored in a feminine style.  My stylist told me I was "beautiful" as I left, she actually appears to delight in making me look feminine, and most of those in the salon did not blink an eye as most of them believed me to be a woman; really.  Also - I have to admit she likes showing her muscles to me that are maybe a couple of inches larger than my soft arms. Then she said she was worried for me as I looked so beautiful that she thought I might be pregnant (Yes me) when we next see each other.  I am actually thinking I will go in when I next get to see her and maybe pad my middle a bit, for a joke on her. 

    The colors she got me for my manicure and pedicure she was calling "the pandemic."  I really mean this in a good way - in fun - but I do realize this is also a very serious. Attached are a few photos of my nails hair, and glasses and a new swimsuit and surf coverup shirt my wife helped me pick out for a future trip to the beach.  

    Anyway today for me was a fun day - Still I am concerned for everyone as we go into a lock down to keep people safe during this national crisis/pandemic.

    A bit slow in the uptake

    Hello Emily, I too have gender dysphoria and my wife has various boundaries with me these days. Daily I dress unisex in my look. I do wear bras and panties. I actually need the bras now as I am almost a size B. Most of my new clothes that I purchase are from the woman's sections and can be worn as unisex. Mostly I am coded as female but new people I meet. Anyway I now feel good in my skin. But to go further and my wife also would be quite unhappy and we could/would end up breaking up over this. Yes a fine line - one of acceptance and freedom versus going all of the way with additional hormones and sex change. Wish you the best. Dawn
  21. UPDATED ITEM - Monica thanks so much for your encouragement and complements on my outfits ♥️  l keep looking at myself and I try to see what you see in me.  I am now becoming more aware of how I have physically changed.  My breasts are now real and natural - no forms needed any more. Even though I am heaver than I would like to be I feel I have become softer and more rounded 

    It was so neat to pack almost all women's outfits for this trip.  Did not waste too much of my space with men's stuff. Yes this experience excites and humbles me.  I am starting to be aware of how from feminine I have become.

    So far on this trip I had a younger man flatter me and called me Mamm and direct me to the Lady's Room.  I did not even try to correct him. 

    I am expecting more positive encounters tomorrow. 

    Thanks for being my sister ❤️ Dawn

      Dear Dawn,

      Your salon worker was saying that you look pregnant as a woman's skin improves (softer and clearer) when she is 🤰 pregnant. They really do glow!

      Yours truly,

      Monica

       

  22. Tomorrow I return to my normal unisex life.  I have had a great time on this last trip to Florida.  My greatest fun was my time on the beach but I also had great fun at the stores and restaurants I went too as I was addressed as "mam" and "lady" at most of these locations.  These encounters really helped me to embrace myself and how I felt.  It was really liberating the feelings of freedom I felt. At the beach, I was at ease the whole time, aware of my form fitting swimsuit and my tuck made me have the ultimate feminine shape, aware of my long hair as the wind caught it, aware of my shaved and lotioned body, aware of my woman shadow/sillowet on the beach; knowing I was being looked at and coded as a female by all around me.  Yes, I was sure I was passing.  As I walked over a mile on the beach I felt deep feelings and the feeding of my woman inside.  I was quite natural in my walk and most of the dozens of beach walkers I passed would wave or say, "good morning" or "hello." There I was just another somewhat pretty older woman walking on the beach with a slight arm swing and lifted sway in her hips.  I also collected some shells and tested the water for swimming. I did get in knee deep but the water was really cold.  For the walk I had just purchased a really nice swimsuit cover-up.  Because of this, I did fit in quite well with those around me as it was cool 60's and as I mentioned the water was fridged.  Thanks Monica for this great idea of the cover garment.  The cover up I bought fit loosely and was almost a beach dress. With this on I really was able to be myself  - natural and confident and I am sure this is why I appeared to pass so well.

    I did get a little bit of attention, however. There were some work men who I know were looking me over, my feminine radar could sense l was being checked out.  One of them actually called me to get my attention twice.  Because I was on the other side of a work barrier I was able to keep my distance and not respond to his advance.  

    My favorite portion of my 2+ hours of beach time was laying/sitting on my towel and soaking 🌞.  I had a sea gull buddy that stayed about 10 feet away and just hung out with me the whole time.  There were several joggers who went by the "sun babe"  - they all looked and I looked back - they smiled and moved on.  We were all having a wonderful day at the beach. :) Dawn

    I took several dozen photos and will share them soon - sample one below.

      Dear Dawn,

      Your photo and letter reminds me of all the wonderful times I had on Clearwater Beach, Dunedin Beach and St. Petersburg Beach, all in Tampa Bay, Florida!

  23. Heading to Florida today.  I will be vacationing and doing some business on this trip.  Looking forward to my time on the beach and most of my time being myself as a woman. I think I am ready. :)

      My friend in Florida tells me it's 68 degrees right now. Think the pink outfit would be perfect! My friend tells me she expects it to warm up, so I think you'll enjoy your swimsuit, too!

  24. Here is my blue suit. :)  Because it is a size 12 it may be a bit snugger and the blue seems to bring more attention to below my waist.  With a fitness skirt I have the blue suit may be still the best - it may work really well.  Opinions please.  I may post a video of one of my suits soon; just made 4 - three in blue suit and one in the purple suit.  Opinions and comments please - I really want a fun and uneventful day at the beach - feeling, looking and being a woman. 20 days until Florida. Dawn :)
