crossdressing, transvestism, transgender*
Hello all. My name is Auralia Michele Baker. I’m a married (wife is very supportive) 28-year-old M2F TG. I’ve been dressing for nearly 18 years now and continue to learn more about myself each day.
Recently I came home from a work-related school and just purged the majority of my wardrobe. Shoes, dresses, slacks, blouses, undergarments – in the trash. I thought that I didn’t need that part of me anymore. Of course, I was mistaken.
Earlier this week I managed to have the fortune of ordering two wigs (my first as before I had long hair). Yesterday I bought a pair of cute Mary Jane style heels and a new outfit. So I’m attempting to start once again so that I can feel comfortable in my skin.
I’ve been mulling the thought of seeing a therapist for some time now. Even my wife feels that I need this and from our research I may need want to look into HRT if a therapist finds my transgenderism to be more than just a comfort zone for me. I’m not really sure where to start with this though. Do I see a traditional therapist first and then seek a referral to a gender therapist or go directly to a gender therapist?
I know I am comfortable and much more “sane” as Auralia. My level of communication is greater and I’m more inclined to be, well, nice.
If anyone out there has suggestions or just feels the need to comment, please do. I need any help I can get.
