First steps. On being me...
Author:
Just ove a week ago I went to this place had found on the internet. Is was the house and shop of a very nice lady who has been helping crossdressers and T-girls for like 20 years.
She helped me get dressed up, advised on clothes and applied my makeup. She actually managed to turn me into a good looking woman, for my age and given that I have been a man for over 40 years. She helped me become Anne for real.
Do I need to say that it was an absolutely wonderful experience?
I now *know* that I am more than cis-gendered male. I am _also_ a woman named Anne.
So: My name is (sometimes) Anne and I am gender fluid / I am a crossdresser.
Also: I came out to my wife the next day. That was very scary to do, but in the end the result was OK. She accepted that I sometimes want to express myself as Anne and seems OK with that, if a little surprised and possibly a bit shocked.
Now it is up to me to keep us talking about it to make sure it stays okay.
Wish me luck, please.
