Hi, I'm new. I've recently discovered myself as TG. I've always known it, but never made the connection. I've always loved the female form and on occasion would secretly play 'dressup'. I always felt so guilty and perverted. Since I met my lovely wife, I've been slowly discovering myself. I've even given myself a name, set up email accounts for myself and signed up for a few aim accounts. Since my awakening a couple months ago, not a day has gone by where I haven't dressed myself femme. Of course I still wear boy clothes to work and when I go out, but as soon as I get home, I change into something more comfortable. I feel very fortunate. My wife is very supportive and even excited at times. My femme wardrobe is actually now larger and more diverse than my boy wardrobe. And it's a hell of a lot cuter too. Funny thing is, I've always HATED shopping for clothes. Now, I cant wait to go shopping for myself. I think I finally understand why/how women buy so many clothes all the time! I've always looked butch IMHO, but i've often been told how 'pretty' I am. And yes, people have used 'pretty' to describe my boy identity. I don't see it, I have a very masculine chin and jaw, but I think my eyes and cheek bones make up for it. I also have a very sturdy frame. I've been given the pseudonym 'polar bear' in martial arts classes in reference to my physique.
So, today I decided to find a group of people with whom I can talk about TG related things. My wife recommended this LJ community, so I joined. I'm excited to meet everyone!
