Hello Bonnie, I was going to send you a message about second life - Let me know when you can receive mail?

Hello Bonnie,

I will publish several of my recent dress shots this evening. Thanks for your comments.

Have spring fever - Been away a while - I see there have been many changes - Hoping all the best for everyone.

Have been following all the Jenner news.  This has stirred some of my recent thinking.  What is the core of why we have our feelings and want so much to change.  I think there is a certain desire to see ourselves as beautiful.  Women express this better than almost all men.  When I put on a dress I feel changed.  When I see other men I see most of them as lazy/unkempt, fat/heavy and scuzzy.  This is the excepted image of most men.  I do not fit this image and I know I am stared at a lot by other men, usually in restrooms, who do not expect a beautiful looking man.  When I look beautiful (Handsome) day-to-day, I am often mistaken for a girl, even when in unisex or masculine clothing.  I usually do not go out of my way but I am well groomed, very tan, fit and now have longer styled blond hair.  I think some of why I wish I could change is rooted in the concept of beauty - and if men could also be beautiful in what is currently a woman's norm early in life - I think fewer would be unhappy with their body image and fewer would want to change.  Here is another thought.  I think is more acceptable to be changed completely into a woman than it is to dress and adorn ones self in a similar fashion.  Yes, I would love to wear a colorful attractive dress and show off my small waist and still not try to hide that I have a somewhat feminine looking male body.  However, I feel less anxiety when I go through the complete effort of hiding any maleness as I look completely like a woman.  Also, I actually feel safer in woman mode as I do not see myself as a homosexual; not wishing for men to lust for me in this fashion.

Got to 140 last week - Only a couple pounds to go. Losing weight seems to take forever.

Glad to hear you got a job. I too am a Christian. I wish you the best. Dawn13

First June Thought - Spring weather now! Went running as a girl yesterday. Wore cap sleeve shirt & run shorts,hair in a pony-tail. Really felt the wind on my shaved legs

Second May Thought - Got called ma'am yesterday - driving through a gate - not trying to look like a girl but still do

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

Early August - Called ma'am yesterday - The guard corrected himself when he heard my voice. Riding in bike day tomorrow.

End of July - Rainy today - Ready to wear my women's Levi 519s stretch jeans today to all of my outings.

First July Thought -Almost Summer - Still cool here - Got a new vintage leotard yesterday - Just love the colors and the nylon feel.

d18,

Glad you have joined the group. I see you visited my page. Have a great day and best wishes. Dawn13

Called a lady at a running expo - I think both my hair and body contributed to the comment as I was wearing normal male clothing.

Bonnie, (I tried to send this in a message to you but was bocked)

I want you to know I am thinking of you and your family. If we never meet in SL - but you worked out things with your family - it would be OK - Actually great! If there is anything I can do let me know. Dawn13

Bonnie if you get a chance to log in to SL - I asked if you would be my friend.

Amie,

Look at my post to your Photo experience Blog. Sub: Suggestions about my bikini shoot. Cheers.

Amie, let me know if you have a name in Second Life. I could add you as a friend and maybe we can meet there. See my latest post in SL.

AmazingCKLOve,

Welcome to the group. I too have similar feelings and experiences. Please feel free to view my profile and you can know me better. What is the CK? part of your name if you can tell me. Writing from Germany - as the snow is falling outside.

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.

A little about myself – Part 1

I am a happy male who has been mistaken, even wearing male clothes, as a girl most of my life. Several doctors and other people in the know have told me I have a feminine bone structure and body characteristics. A few years ago, I took female hormones and had some laser hair removal. I have since stopped those treatments.

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.
