wearing women's clothes

It's important to think about your own happiness and not just the happiness of others. I have some relatives that I think might become unhappy too, but if they decide not to accept me for who I am it's a choice that they made, not a choice I made for them.

It's important that you think about the things you sacrifice though and how much you really want to transition if that really is what you want. I mean, if you're generally okay with being male then there's little need to abandon a ship that is not sinking.

Personally I realized that I would never become truly happy if I didn't do this. My ship is sinking and everybody who disapproves of my choices are just trying to make me go down with the ship.

 

Well, becoming who you wanna be doesn't just happen. It requires some deep thought on what you really want and then some sacrifices and/or hard work might follow.

But I'm sure that through patience and some help from friends and your partner, you'll figure it out.

 

Possibly. But it's probably better to not focus on labels and focus on what you want and how to achieve that in the way that works best.

Sorry if I'm a bit slow. I'm reading a book and drinking tea.

 

I'm actually tandem reading. I'm rereading "World War Z" at the same time as I'm reading the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe.

 

It helps when you're bored to tears stuck at your parents house.

It also works really well with these specific books as Edgar Allan Poe's works consists of short stories and World War Z also consists of short stories that create an overarching plot line. Well, technically it's a recreation of an overarching plotline.

 

I spend most of my free time playing video games and there's none of that here. The most I can do with this PC is play Cards Against Humanity online.

For some reason I never did read through all of Edgar Allan Poe's stuff despite adoring all the things that I -have- read from him. "The Raven" is probably my favorite piece of literature of all time.

 

It's fun. There's a clone of the game that's called "Pretend you're Xyzzy" that is literally the same thing and can be played online, just google it.

What games do I play? That's kind of a big question, I play a lot of games for both console and PC. Lately I've been snowed in on Titanfall which has taken up most of my gaming time the last few weeks before I went to my parents. Then there's Diablo III and Guild Wars 2 that I don't play all the time, but have frequent relapses in. My favorite game of all time is Okami though, tightly followed by Journey.

I actually only own one dress, which is a Darth Vader minidress, but I don't wear it because it shows my shoulders. I'm saving the dresses for when I'm thinner.

In the meantime I mostly roll with shirts and skirts like on the picture I have on here. Shame it doesn't show the skirt, though, it's layered and looks tattered, which reminds me of Morticia's dress.

I do wear high heel boots too, though they're not knee-highs and stiletto heeled like the ones in your picture.

 

I love Knights of the Old Republic and both Portal games. I've played them a lot. Never had the patience for strategy games, though. Like, I think they can be fun, but I'm terrible at them. Brütal Legend is good though because it's only one of two Action RTS games I know of, which basically means that it plays like a strategy game but you actually play as a commander character and take part in the battle yourself. Though I always play it with a friend who's a real strategy guy so it usually ends with him controlling the battlefield and creating/moving troops while I act as a frontline commander and fight with the troops. 'Tis a lot of fun.

I don't own a current gen console either and I honestly haven't felt I needed one yet. The only game I'm sad that I'm missing out on is Sunset Overdrive, the rest either dont interest me or came out for PC too. Shadow of Colossus is pretty good and looks absolutely beautiful, but I don't like the controls personally. They're cumbersome.

The shirt and skirt combo gives you a lot of options, that's why I like it.

Shoe size is a problem for most trans women. Like, I have fairly small feet for a male, but I still have difficulties finding women's shoes that fit and when I do, it's usually more expensive. It's a pain.

 

Probably not as big of a Star Wars fan as I am.

I think you'd like Brütal Legend actually. It's a lot about music, specifically metal. It basically takes place in a world where everything looks like it came off the cover of a metal album and tells the story about conflicts between different factions that represents specific types of metal like classic cetal, glam metal, Goth/deat/symphonic metal and industrial metal. The main characters are voiced by Jack Black and Jennifer Hale (who did the voice for Bastilla in KotOR) and the rest of the cast consists of various metal artists such as Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister and Lita Ford.

My feet are somewhere between 41 and 42, so they're not terribly big.

I'm actually not terribly good at clothes either. Or well, I'm good at matching them and stuff like that--give me a game with a character editor with lots of clothes and my characters will all look amazing--but I'm terrible at finding them since shopping was never my thing.

That's where my fiancée comes in. She is a straight up fashionista and -loves- clothes. I tell her I want a corset, she'll come back later with a webpage with great corsets that is shutting down and are having an "everything must go" sale. She finds me the stuff I want and frequently show me things I would look good in. I swear, when we have more money she's going to treat me like a runway model.

I am, however, terrible and probably can't help you much in finding stuff. But you're British, do you live near London? I know there are a lot of really good clothing stores in London. My fiancée didn't want to leave when she went there a year ago.

 

It would probably be a battle of the ages. I'm well versed in the extended universe, even though it's no longer canon. Some days I sit on wookiepedia and just go from article to article reading about random stuff.

I don't have the patience for it either. Luckily my fiancée isn't that obnoxious when she's shopping despite being into fashion. When we enter a store she looks back and forth, analyzing the store inventory like some sort of fashionista Terminator and then either say "screw this, let's go" or "there might be something here."

Five hours is definitely not an overday shopping trip, no. But if you ever find yourself there it's a really good place, apparently. I should really go to London some day. It's really cheap to fly there from Sweden.

Posting a picture would be a big step and you should absolutely do it.
