      My suit just arrived and it fits phonemically.  Other than my just being a little larger in the shoulders and having to do a small bit of a tuck, it flatters me greatly.  Because I have not been able to diet myself to 138 pounds I was concerned that I would look too fat in it.  I was almost in tears when I tried it on and saw myself in the mirror.  It really makes me look trim. Will post a photo/s when I have time.  I am planning a day at the beach in Florida next month and I hope to get to swim in the ocean in this suit.  The Miracle suit really does what it says.  See attached Tag.  Dawn :)

      Dear Dawn,

      That's great! Looking forward to seeing your pictures!

      Have come across a company, called Shapermint, (but I have not seen their product, although it looks very good), that seems to sell outstanding shapewear. Their website is:

      https://www.shapermint.com

      Keep me posted, girl!

      Yours in Sisterhood,

      Monica

      Thanks Monica - you are right Shapermint has some great styles.  I priced the same swimsuit and theirs was $160+ for the Oceanus style but I was able to get mine at less than 50% of this price at Rue Lala.  (Another great store.)  Still I signed up for discounts with Shapermint and I saw several great looking dresses and swimsuits. Thanks so much for helping me shop.  I am getting much better at this, but I still have a lot to learn about selecting the best clothing for myself as a woman.  However, I feel I have always had the artistic and feminine mind that enables me to enjoy shopping for beautiful things. Lately with these feelings I have had no problem shopping in the women's section in various stores, including trying on dresses and sportswear.  I have also moved away from just going to thrift shops to buying from better stores new items that makee feel good about my image.  Yes, my confidence as a woman has really grown lately, and I know part of this is occurring as my body now fits better with my feminine mind; has become more reshaped; softer and rounder.  For this trip because I have been a bit heaver than I wanted to be I decided wearing a 👙 bikini was not best for me, until I am back to 140 or less.  The swimsuit I just bought will help me cover up my belly and will be a good starting point for me for future days on the beach when I may be ready for a bikini in the future. When I go to Florida on this trip I will be alone most of the time and I will have several days I can totally be my feminine self.  I am looking forward to the freedom and being able to express myself as a woman for these days and I will be totally free to do my makeup and wear my best, yes sexy, beach wear - still I do not plan to go overboard wearing high hills and extravagant night wear.  I just want to blend in, be noticed as a woman, but not draw too much attention; not get too excited about this opportunity for fun as a girl.  Dawn :)

  2. Made it to 138.8 pounds. My wife thinks I can go for 135. Big news was I was called ma'am twice and lady once in the same day. Also, men have been opening doors for me. All of this while I have been wearing my guys clothes. My wife said she thinks both my smaller body and my longer hair is making me look even more feminine. She said to me as long as I don't say anything (voice) I could likely shop in the womens area of a store and no one would notice me as a guy. I plan to post...

      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. :)

      MonicaPz

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

    4. Dawn13

      Dawn13

      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.

  4. Another great day getting my hair styled, brows waxed and a pedicure.  I wore my new American Eagle Hot Pants and a matching top that showed off my comfortable white nylon bra underneath. I had a brown hair band, rose quartz earrings and was wearing one of my favorite perfumes. My stylist said she really like making my hair, brows and toes "beautiful."  Then she had to mention she had been doing weights and showing off her arms to me.  Of course we compare arms and mine now look a lot smaller than hers.  And I was thinking mine really look feminine.  After I was done at the stylist I left, looking almost totally beautiful, and I went to a local farmers market and just blended in - I really think no one even possibly thought I was not female the whole time I was there. A wonderful transgender feminine experience. :)

      Dawn13

      Thanks - you made my day - I really try to find clothing that coordinates well and is not too sexy to draw out too much attention/notice.  Always concerned I am not overly noticeable; that I just fit in.  Also, about my smile. I am finally out of my braces - first time in over a year. I so appreciate your comments about how attractive I look. :)

      I was just thinking back today about how confident I was after having this particular salon makeover.  With only adding a bit of lip gloss I felt like a woman all day and went out and walked around the farmers market knowing that in everyone's mind they only saw a lovely woman.  In fact I barely noticed anyone checking me out at all.  I was just blending in and I was not nervous at all that I would/could possibly be mis-read as a male.  It is days like these that make me wish I could be a woman forever. :)

      Hello Lori - the site was off line for a few days and when it came back on I could not load photos again; into the albums.  Is there a new clue that I need?  Dawn

       

  6. Here is my first photo in my new swimsuit.  I already see a couple of things I will need to change.  Likely I will want to have my hair out instead of in a pony tail.  Comments please.  Dawn :)

      Dawn13

      Thanks Monica - I am concerned that my shoulders are still a bit large and that I need to have my hair flowing over my shoulders to better frame my face.  Still swimming in the ocean will change everything as I am sure as I get wet and covered with salt water.  And of course I do not want a suit malfunction. :)

    3. Dawn13

      Dawn13

      Hello Monica - Thanks for your comments - I did go ahead and order the blue suit also.  Size 12 - Will do a comparison when I get it in - you are so good at helping me with my best colors.  :)

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

    1. MonicaPz

      MonicaPz

      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

      Dawn13

      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!

  8. Stopped for a couple of photos during a recent 5 mile run.  Was a really fun run in my Running Skirts outfit. My wife said just yesterday that my arms really looked even "thinner and smaller; almost no muscle" Yes looked feminine. Dawn :)

      Deni, I used to love to bicycle. I biked 2 miles each way to my high school in Dunedin, Florida. I was on the 2 mile mark where I could choose to bike/walk to school or take the bus. Also, I sometimes biked to work if it was 2 miles or less.  🚲

  9. Was described as a "beautiful ... lady" last week by a waitress at a restaurant I was at in Florida.  I did not even have any makeup on.  Here is a recent photo of me with my own hair, near the time of this neat encounter.

      I was not wearing this blouse at the time, just women's sportswear and I always wear a bra now as my breasts are now size B+.  Have some great photos from the trip I will post soon.

       

  10. My wife just purchased 4 Hanes Get Cozy Pullover ComfortFlex Fit® Wirefree Bra's for me and I love them - great fit and support.  (Pink, Purple, Teal and Nude colors) Was going to use them as sleep bras but I am thinking they will also be great everyday bras. I highly recommend them to everyone.  Photo below.

    Also looking for a recommendation - I could be doing a professional makeover soon - possible Christmas Gift.  Does anyone know of a best place local to the mid-west; KY, OH, IN?  My therapist said that this might be something for me to do and I am liking the idea.  Maybe a whole weekend in a new location all woman-ed up?  (Shopping, restaurant, play or movie)  This would not be a boy mode or unisex mode thing - but a fully feminine experience for me. :)  Dawn

  12. Today my wife helped me purchase two bras.  She has told me she really has noticed my expanding breasts and that I really need a bra now. My breasts are now almost a C cup and I am needing support.  What a change from three years ago when I was barely an A.  Something about hormone changes as I have aged and that I have taken a few hormone products to actually reverse this, and just the opposite has occurred.  I am actually happy that I have girls on my chest now.  Something else has been occurring even though I have been trying to workout a lot, my muscles are now softer and smaller than they used to be.  Lately I have been asking for help from even girls to lift things, as I am now feel weaker; defiantly age and my overall genetics are playing their part in this. I was always told I had beautiful legs, now the muscle appears to be less; they really look like girls legs.  Just yesterday a gate guard called me mam. "Have a good day Mam."  My long hair, thin body and earrings I am sure contributed to this; I just said "thank you" and enjoyed the mixed gender characterization of my body. Dawn

      My wife just helped me try on some bras that she was considering giving away.  My breasts fitted in them. I can wear them now.  As I have gotten larger breasts she is actually getting smaller ones.  Whow!  Dawn

    2. Dawn13

      I was taking a testosterone booster as my T was very low. My wife wanted me to stay overall masculine in appearance.  However, it appears that my body is now converting most of the supplement into estrogen and my E level is now quite high.  The medication disclaimer does say it can work in reverse for some people.

  13. Ears just pierced, wearing two small Zirconium ones - Hard to believe I waited 6 decades to get this done - What a feeling of freedom.

    1. Ronnie Virga

      Ronnie Virga

      Fabulous. Getting mine done soon too!

       

    2. Dawn13

      Dawn13

      Thank you - it was a good decision - now the whole world of earrings are now possible - cannot wait until I am healed and can wear larger more feminine ones - any ideas?  Maybe a drop style.  Was just at the stylist today and my hair is now way down my back and colored blond.  Now this with my earrings the change is no longer subtitle rather I now look much more like a woman, even in guys clothes. 

      Other changes - Even my muscles look more like a girls.  Just had a physical two days ago and apparently my T level is way down, way below normal.  My natural estrogen level also appears to be up likely above normal.  Wondered why I was feeling fatigued lately and appearing to lose some muscle.

  14. 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. Dawn :)289412694_Pink11.thumb.jpg.a2e0f9a0d4b655a5a0ab9126d5c482eb.jpg

  15. 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.  :)

    2. Dawn13

      Dawn13

      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. :)

  16. My experience at the Beauty Salon yesterday was really great this time - maybe even greater that several other recent visits.  I really love to relate this to everyone; experiencing a day as a woman is always exciting and comforting to me.

    Starting out my stylist told me she really liked my outfit.  It was very sporty, shorts and top were color coordinated and my bra was exposed at the neck line.  As we started the pedicure she noticed my smoothly shaved legs.  More than once she has told me I have near perfect legs and one other stylist in the salon said she wished she had my legs (Pretty, toned and feminine). in the salon It is amazing how much girl talk I have with her as I am sure see sees me and maybe even believes I am a woman she is making beautiful.  I know most people who just come in to the salon think of me as another woman/girl sitting in the stylist chairs.  

    As I had been having trouble with my pony tail bands breaking my hair; I had gotten new bands and the breaking had mostly ended.  This was the day my hair length had finally evened out after almost three months of growth.  Now with it even again I am hoping to grow it even longer.  Mid-back is my goal.  (Photos below.)

    My stylist really worked hard on my pedicure, this time, and I think my toe color is the nicest I have ever had.  She pulled all of the stops making my toes as feminine looking as possible.  The look - She gave my toes a nautical look, sea blue with teal highlights for the beach with five starfishes added to my beautiful multicolored toes.  I really like showing off my toes now.

    Of course she waxed my brows - femininely arched.

    My stylist took several photos of her handwork so I could compare what I looked like months ago.  My hair and toes.  (Photos below.) I walked out of there very much the primped woman.  Yes, I enjoy being made feminine.  Felt like an even neater experience this time. 

    After I finished at the salon I had to take a coupe of photos to let everyone see. For this I went to a park a few blocks away. ((Photos below.)I always like comments)I then went to the post office and the first comment I got from a lady there was "you really look cute."  I thanked her  Then I went to Rural King to get bird seed and to a local farmers market.  I was called mam twice as I purchased several items. 

    As I said I really appreciate comments - thanks for being my friend - love and kisses to all - Dawn

  17. Amazing what a new sports top and sports support bra does for your confidence.  Was hiking in some beautiful weather and felt wonderful as I met several other hikers, all encouraging me on the way.  One guy passing me said. "Way to go gal."  Post workout weigh-in also included in this.  Still 8+ pounds to lose.  But who is counting. :)

    2. Dawn13

      Dawn13

      Thanks Monica,  I wear women's athletic shoes mostly as my foot is very narrow; yes actually is the shape of a woman's.  This is true throughout my body.  I have almost the entire bone structure of a woman, (extremely small hands, knee and hip displacement of a woman, small feminine sized and shaped skull, arm length matches a woman's) and if I had not gone through male puberty likly my hips would have never closed so I could have had a baby structurally.  These are the reasons I think I am intersexed.  Something happened to me in the womb.  My brain is a woman's brain and my body stayed mostly female.  Well I am more in-line to this self now.  Again Thanks.  Dawn

  18. Michael fixed my photos - Thanks for helping me find the setting/s.  All please post comments to my photos when you have time.  Best wishes everyone. :)

      Dawn, the purple 👗 dress goes great with your blue eyes!

  19. Update on the herbals supplement effect - My wife mentioned that my breasts had really expanded and were now a "hand full" as she touched them yesterday and that my hair has grown to reach the bottom of my shoulder blades.  What I have noticed the most lately is I appear much softer and more rounder lately. My weight is still holding about 160 (Still want to get rid of 15 pounds) but where the weight has moved into my hips and breasts and a layer of softness overall is what I notice the most.  Dawn :) Wearing a blond wig below but you can see my softer more feminine body.

  20. Spent an entire week in Florida presenting myself in a very simple fashion as a woman. A life time of experiences this trip. So much to describe. The attached photo is me in Universal Studios. I did not enhance my natural body for this trip, just wore all women's sportswear top to bottom. My breasts in my sports bra were noticeable but I was not trying to bring too much attention to them. I remember when I entered the park when the photo was taken one of the attendants said "I really like your Turquois Outfit," one of her favorite looks. I have over 20 great photos to share along with my neat story. So more soon. :)

      Dawn, you look great!  Keep having fun!😊

  21. I am now focusing on the election and all of the changes that have occured in the last four years. Likley you all would be suprised who I am supporting but based on the economy I really see no other choice. I hope eveyone is doing well as now I have a little more time to check in. Most of my family concerns of the last few months have subsidded

      I've learned that the transgender community is rather politically diverse. Hope all is well with you Dawn. :)

      Dawn, welcome back!

  23. Monica - Trying to figure out our new site. My voice is very male sounding so you might be surprised even though I can be quite feminine in appearance. I hope to join a telecom soon but must be on a day my wife is out. 

    My wife has become a bit jealous of time I spend with my transgender friends.  And I know she would not like to overhear my conversation as she now wants me to limit my time on this site.  She does understand, but we have been going to counseling with the goal of containing my transgender tendencies so we will remain married (And I do love her). 

    This is all good and I do appreciate your friendship.  I know I will talk to you someday.  I still try to grasp with who I am in a world that makes it hard to allow me to be me.  Love and Kisses - Dawn :)

      Dawn,

      Thank you for your patience with the upgrades on TGGuide.  Most of all, there will be an increase in security.

      Many of our married members are dealing with the same issues as you.

      Yours truly,

      Monica

  24. Was on a trip recently and stopped at a rest area to go to the restroom.  There were two attendances' there one woman and one man.  Both of them tried to tell me when it looked like I was heading for the men's room; "the women's room is over here" "here is the women's room" and show me where the women's restrooms were.  This actually occurred three times so when I finally found the men's room I proceeded directly to a closed toilet.  I am sure they thought I was in the wrong restroom.  Also,I was concerned that the men that were in there were thinking I was in the wrong bathroom.  Actually I was pleased with this confusion but I just wanted to do my duty and move on.  I was really not trying to look female on this occasion but again I guess I did.

    1. Dawn13

      Dawn13

      yes - I was wearing a bra - my breasts are more than subtle now. 

      Photo is from a couple of weeks ago with my own hair showing.

  25. A new name this weekend - Called "Babe" by one of the life guards as I was heading for the pool.  My hair was in a pony tail and I was in red biking outfit.
