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.

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

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.

Fun-Run - Letting my hair out as I took a wonderful fitness run on a forest path yesterday. I just got some really neat tights, great for path running, that I wore for the first time that had a functional pocket for my cell phone. So with just a little of a tuck below I was off in this wonderfully feminine running outfit. I also made sure I smelled good to those I passed, with some of my favorite perfume on. I met about a dozen hikers and runners on the trail all speaking words of encouragement or just saying hello. Beautiful day out - yes - experiencing womanhood.

Another day at the transformation spa. Pedicure already finished. Best toe look ever.

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.

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?

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.☺️

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

Sorting through all of my Florida photos - quite an exciting story to share - a whole week feeling like and presenting myself as a woman - more to share soon. Dawn

Have been so focusing on my expanding developing chest that I almost missed my expanding hips. Here is a current photo. Dawn

I wish I could spend more time than I do as a woman

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

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.

Not the best mood but hey, feelings of disphoria, only because I'm realizing I'm not todays children anymore. Grey poked out and said, hello mama you look sexy todat, but remember your older then the norm you look like. Blooming B had me in tears for a few minutes. Then my highlight came, happy mother's day Ou Vrou (nickname from my other half meaning Old Woman, but its the name he calls me when everything is well. My name either signifies being angry or worried about me, yes the tone tells me which one). Reminded that even though I'm not the biological mother, I'm still their mother for the love and support I give our babies. Even the danger or unknown I've stepped in to help them. What a learning curve this has been for me. Happy Mother's Day you lovely ladies. May your children and other half (sometimes better and sometimes worse)

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.

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.

Ugh! i got attacked by chiggers at the beach last weekend! and now I have a cold!

Cute is cute, but I'm evil cute at times.

I am excited, have a date with a female twenty years younger than me this weekend and she is gorgeous then a handsome man the following weekend.

Doctor warned me that rubbing of clothing might cause some unwanted (yet kind of welcomed) sensations you now were. All is good until in a meeting and can't concentrate on the meeting or really enjoying the afternoon walk.

Tomorrow I am having a different kind of surgery, two wisdom teeth pulled, oh there is nothing compared to prior surgeries but may prior to be frustrating in regards to eating over the three or so days to follow. Today I am having electrolysis done for underarms, will be nice when that is done. This is my third treatment so far.

Aroused but keeping my legs closed. Very frustrating.

It's a new day, we begin again, make the best of it as it only happens once then gone forever.

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.

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.

Thinking back to prior to transitioning I cherished working from home two days a week but since transitioning only work one day from home as it's so much more fun being with co-workers than not. Today, Friday is the only day I work from home and find myself wanting to go into work. Just shows how things get better over time so if reading this and on a path to reassignment that this shows life can be better.
