Out of the closet...

Well first let me say thanks to everyone for all the help the last few days. Today after 15 years in the closet I came out to my parents. They are quite religious but they basically said it was my choice and they were mildly supportive.

It is funny because as I pestered them about things from my past they said that they always thought that something was wrong... remember I was born with Kallmann's syndrome and have a few other problems like microphallious, etc. We talked about how I felt about feeling like a girl at times and they were quite understanding.

I feel in my heart that I have nothing wrong with me being a guy (I would rather be female), although I do not associate with being a guy. I told them that I feel like neither a guy or girl but that I needed to visit "the other gender role" once in a while. I feel so relieved because I can now look at things a little differently and not have to hide that I am looking at womens clothing.

Tomarrow I am going to by my first "skirt" and soime shoes... maybe a blouse... who knows. I can not wait for a few weeks to go out and spend the weekend in LA in femme... how fun...

Now I need to find some pantyhose that fit... I am thinking about ordering the ones that do not go all the way up to the legs so I do not have to worry too much about size...

Should be fun! I feel like a women trying on womens clothing... it is great!

Mandy,

Nicely done. I am sure you feel a great weight lifted off of you. I know it takes a lot of soul searching to get to this point.. Anyway, good luck with your new purchases and I look forward to your future posts.

Love always,
Elizabeth

Mandy,
We are all proud of you! You are taking the first steps on your own "Magical Mystery Tour." It will be so much fun, so just enjoy yourself, and should the situation present itself, share your gift of gentleness, compassion, love and understanding with those that you come into contact with. It makes the trip even more enjoyable.
Love,
Virginia
