Thanks Monica - you are so supportive.  Here is my latest life update.  Firstly, I have really enjoyed lately getting new clothing items as I am able to get a good fit in more women's items than ever.  Just yesterday, trying to go boy mode to the pool, I put on a old men's swimming training suit I had and I could barely get my hips in them. I know they used to be my larger go-to men's suit.  My wife and I are now getting me new women's jeans as all of my male jeans no longer fit.  Don't think my waist is much smaller - but my hips. wow! I will have to measure soon.  I am thinking 42 inches now.  Second big news, I will be going as a woman to an upcoming wedding in LA CA.  I have already put together the pant suit I will be wearing. (Is actually kind of unisex looking but all of the parts are women's wear.  Also, fortunate for me there will be several transgender relatives and friends there, so it should be a safe trip for me.  --- Yesterday I was called one of the ladies at a local restaurant - this now happening to me every day.  More soon and as always thinks..

Dear Dawn,

As you evolve in your transition, men's clothing will feel more and more foreign.

My trip to CA for the wedding was awesome.  Over three quarters of the clothes I took with were women's.  And the rest were unisex. I presented as unisex or as a woman most of the week. The conversations were wonderful.  It was quickly apparent that all at the gathering knew I was transgender.  (OK - One person thought I was gay as this was how he understood who I was. Still was a very open group and I was not the only one there - there was also at least one transexual - was a very supportive and understanding group) I will have a detailed report with some of the great photos of me taken at the wedding. (One quick pick of one of my jogging excursions attached)
