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.

Had a wonderful day yesterday at the Hair and Spa Salon that I go to - really is a highlight of my month as I usually come out feeling so beautiful. (Nails, wax, hair and toes) My wife told me to enjoy my good "Girly Girly" Time. My real hair is the big winner this time. Now passing shoulder length toward arm pit length. (My Goal is bra strap length and I only need three more inches to get there).

Getting girlified right now - pedicure, brow wax and cut and color. The full treatment. Love it. Post Salon - Attached is sporting my post salon look + a new top from Kohl's; gift from my wife. Felt very beautiful and feminized when I left today - Was called "mam" at a security gate I had to go through; would not have expected otherwise.

Today I was running with a local women's running group and one of the Gals I run with said I "you should enter the Olympic Trials as a woman." I believe she knows I am transgender as I usually dress unisex or gender female when I run with them. I told her that it is difficult to make the trials at any level even if I was to be able to make the women standards. (I was also thinking I would have to have a completed a sex change) The discussion was very telling as I know many of my run group see me as just another a woman running with them. Just added a photo from yesterday walking a path with my Nordic Poles.

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)

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

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

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.

My new suit just came in - Monica thanks for suggesting it - Will model it soon - Then will have to decide which one to wear on my beach day in three weeks. Dawn

Just ordered a purple - Miraclesuit Oceanus One-Piece Size: 14 Color: purple I am going to wear this at the beach next month. Now to make sure my body is beach ready.

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

I just received a gift of a new purple dress and pearl earrings. Also I recently purchased a Victoria Secret slightly padded pink bra that I am wearing now. This was my first new dress in quite a while. I think the fit was phenomenal. Sung and form fitting showing some cleavage. I can really see results of the herbals and blockers I have been taking. I only had some lip gloss on - plan to do full make up soon. Still I was amazed at myself. And I still feel overweight. More soon - Dawn

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.

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.

Finally got my scripts straightened out. Already took my dailies. My need is not recognized by some. But it is real. I need this. I have to have it. You girls here are the best with understanding how it can be necessary to have your estrogen. My life has seemed empty without. I so enjoy the new life I’m living. Not dealing with the insecurities that I had as a man. Of course it’s not all roses and champagne but I roll with the punches. I love myself. Thank you for being here and reading. Love you.

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. :)

It appears the site is working again - Hurrah! And I do like the new changes in format. Dawn

I find it interesting that two years ago I was told that red was not a color for me and agreed yet that person told me red now suits me. For the past two weeks have been wearing Lucky Brand flats in a medium red. Just goes to show (in my opinion) what hormones can do after being on them for a while. Oh, my worst color, yellow, still working on that.

On Saturday I gathered the courage and showed my daughter Markita. I knew she was ok with it because she told me she was, but wow I didn't expect how welcoming my daughter was toward me as Markita. After she gave me a huge stamp of approval, we chatted about how long it takes to become Markita, what type of clothing do I like. My daughter even had me model my entire wardrobe of woman's cloths. Just glad that right now I don't have many - else I would still be modeling them for her. She wanted to see all my wigs and the bob-cut gray haired wig is her favorite, but funny it's my least favorite. We both agreed on the should length brown wig I have and I wore that for most of the day with her. After I was done modeling for her, we just sat down and did our usual stuff we do every time she visits me just like nothing was different. I got to say when I had to change back into Mark, she got upset because she did not want to see Markita go. Once I changed back into my male clothes and went back downstairs to be with my daughter she jokingly said, "Dad where have you been? You missed seeing Markita". That brought out a good laugh for me and for my kiddo. Then Sunday night I had the talk with the girlfriend and it was decided to not go any further with our relationship. She is a strict catholic and believes that whatever sex you were borne is the sex you should stay. She asked that if I was to fully transition would I like guys or women and I said I more than likely will like women. She then said she could not deal with that because she is straight and could not be with another woman. Honestly I am not sure how I feel. On one hand I do feel relived that we talked and came to a conclusion; however, on the other I am upset because I caused my significant other heartbreak (as she put it)and I am fairly sure I will be doing the same to others who are not able to accept that I am trans. About an hour after ending the relationship with the GF I got a call from my very good friend and he asked me if I had a secret about cross-dressing and I am not sure how he found out because I never told him and this is the only web site I post as Markita and I am sure he does not visit this web site. He in passing did mention a video where I went away but then came back as Markita but I cannot find this video anywhere and if I did make one, i am pretty sure I would remember it so for now it is a mystery how he figured it out. I didn't lie to him in fact I said yes I do and he said that he was ok with it. To be honest he was one of my friends who I thought for sure would not be able to handle it and would want to break off our friendship but to find out he really doesn't care was the lift I needed after breaking up with my GF. After carrying this secret of mine around for so long and finding people who are alright with it, is giving me the courage to tell others even though they may feel more like my Ex-GF rather than my daughter and very good friend. All in all... not a bad weekend.

Hello Miss Bonnie! LTNS. So glad to see you visiting. Hope all is well with you. -Michael

My latest trip to get a pedicure resulted in these toes. Very seasonal - but will need to be changed before Christmas.

Hi! Totally new to transitioning. Knew I was Trans from a young age, but kept stifling the real me. Thru 2 suicide attempts I let fear rule me. Now...I am happily working towards the woman I always knew I should be.

Loving being a woman. Most people now see me as female - passing very well. Just was out shopping two days ago. There I was, checking out of a Kroger and a guy said let "Her" go ahead" referring to me. On this same shopping trip, I actually had a store clerk ask me if the credit card I was using was mine. It is almost more embarrassing to tell her it was me. (Male Name). Then she told me the discounted women's items I bought looked really nice and was a really good deal and that she might like them also. She also asked if the women's tops and shorts I had picked out were comfortable to wear. As I was just buying them I told the her I thought so. Dawn

40.000 views - a milestone - again so much has changed since I joined in 2009. Physically, mentally and even in some respects spiritually. I feel so much freer to be myself. Still Wondering where the rest of my life will lead.

Hello everyone - Lots of updates - I just took a couple of pictures of me in my new Arctic Cool women's running outfit that I got as a birthday gift. My wife said the fit was snug and I really "looked very feminine" in this running outfit and she was a bit concerned that I was in danger as it was getting into the evening hours when I went out to run. There was a female jogger attacked a few weeks ago near a park I like to jog at. So I tried to stay away from any known potential areas of concern. Yes I was safe. Also, for my birthday I got two new very stylish Catalina Bikinis Swimsuits with matching Swim Skirts; I cannot wait to wear them to the beach; likely on my next trip to Florida ...... Some great new news I just got my first Botox treatment and I am doing a whole array of face fillers, skin resurfacing and surgical level skin treatments - yes kind of expensive treatments - everything that can be accomplished with today's technology below doing a full face lift is being accomplished. My clinic rep said I could/probably would look as much as 20 years younger when this is finished and of course I have always had a feminine looking face so I think this aspect will be enhanced greatly. I will report the success as I finish all of the treatments. Dawn

I am adding a blog item about Halloween Costumes. Please join me there.

"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.

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.

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

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. Dawn

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

Hi tiffani, I'm Jessica. Welcome to TG Guide. I've been a member since August, 2018 and when I first joined, I had never been in public, and frankly knew nothing about transgender and transitioning. I had never met nor even communicated with anyone who was transgender at that time. I learned much in those coming months, finally stepped out in public after 6 months, and now live and present only as my true self since March of 2019. Please take the time to learn to navigate the website, and become familiar with some the blogs. Feel free to ask questions or just express some of your thoughts. You will find the members very knowledgeable, non judgmental, and very willing to share their own thoughts and experiences. Hopefully, you will become comfortable enough to begin to compose your own blogs, as I have. I look forward to hearing more from you.☺️

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.

My wife today told me my breasts looked huge and wanted to make sure I had on one of my better support bras on when I went out to go on a bike ride. The herbals have really worked. Will post a photo soon - Dawn

Some updates - Neat - My wife just purchased me a gift two new pairs of Hanes Silk Reflection Ultra Sheer hose for an upcoming outing - she was also helping me to find a new blouse to wear that would match one of hers. Also, on a recent Disney Cruise I was called mam and lady by almost everyone. For a lot of the trip, they thought there were two sisters together on a cruise. Still in boy mode for this trip but obviously I was looking feminine. Was wearing a bra most of the time. Just in the last two weeks; my breasts have been getting noticed quite a bit - My Doctor who I had not seen in about a year in his almost only comment - said my chest was noticeably larger and at GNC the store manager that is a friend and knows me as a boy just made a real big deal about noticing my chest (Breasts) had gotten bigger - he could not take his eyes off my top the whole time I was in his store.

Good morning, Hope everyone is having a great day.. Great day to shop

Went in to a Horton's yesterday and the woman there said to me and my wife "how are you doing ladies." I was dressed a bit feminine but not overly so. Still being coded almost daily as a woman and I really an not trying to go out of my way to make myself look like a woman. Dawn

Happy to say Microsoft has awarded me their MVP award for the third year running yesterday. Out of millions there are less than 4,000 selected each year. Microsoft holds a summit for five days in November for the MVP program where they pay for everything except what it cost to get there. So I will be off to the summit in just under one month in Washington State, just a three hour drive in my lovely Miata.

When fear takes over because you realized you only human and a tall drink of gorgeous woman. No it doesn't make me lesser then men, but their equal because I won't be treated like a secondhand human.

well im still waiting to get back on my meds. My doctor thought me a curveball and now i getting my left hip replacement on July 12th and as soon as it heals i'll be getting the right hip done. so it looks like another 4 to 6 months on the side line dreaming of getting back to HRT . at least after all the pre opp appointments i went to i know im in good health and im ready to move on with my transition

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

Was feeling sick this morning at work, co-worker asked the symptoms, I replied, running nose, dizzy. He came back joking with "You must be a Dizzy Blonde", that was funny,

It's not a pretty sight when I am in the mood, alone and can't find my fav viberator, just saying.

I Start T tomorrow!

For whatever reason I put on perfume this morning like every morning but for some reason it felt better. I have four or five, lost count of scents I love and try to rotate between three of them while the others are more suited for the evening.

Three days until "Capital Pride" which is an outdoor event for LGBT community. Should see at least one member from here there. The event is about ten minutes from my place and happy to have a short drive.

I'm very happy about my progress with my transition and everything else in my life has been going very well to.

Watched "The opposite sex, Rene's story" on Showtime and think it's sad that her three brothers and most friends disowned her and that it's not just her but many that transition lose friends and also their jobs which there has to be a fair percentage that leave these people into a dark place or worst. Coming out and transitioning is one of the most difficult things a human can do.

One more day till the weekend woo-hoo. Saturday I am attending the local Transgender parade in Portland which will be my first time. Since it's close to my friends house (who is going too) we don't have to contend with parking which is great. Enjoy the day!!!
