17th February- commenting on dresses on tv

I have for a while now tried, when watching tv with my wife to occasionally mention that I like the dress a woman is wearing in the show or how she has her hair or on her makeup. 
For me, there is the classic trans feeling of both being attracted to a woman and wanting to be her, and that is where a lot of these thoughts come from. 
This seems to have been established as a safe conversation area in our relationship now and we will often talk about outfits women are wearing and what we like about them or the sort of body shape they would suit. 
She doesn’t seem to notice that I have perhaps an unusual level of knowledge about female clothing for a man to have. We were watching something the other day where a character was getting ready to surprise her husband for date night and I said why is she wearing a bra with an overbust corset, which is not knowledge that I would be expected to have. 
As an aside, someone did once work out my secret in this way. I was away on a work trip and one of the women needed to get some tights as she hadn’t packed what she needed so we took a detour to shop for some. I asked what she needed in terms of colour, denier, gloss/matte and she just asked me outright. Made for an interesting conversation over dinner anyway. 
But my interest in women’s fashion doesn’t seem to have made my wife suspicious, she actually seems to like talking about it. 
Who knows, maybe she does know about me and this is a way of gently exploring my feminine side together. 
Or maybe it’s just me wishing that.

5 May 25 - living a lie

I’m wearing a soft crop top and Brazilian knickers under my male clothes today and it’s the first time   I’ve done so since my wife found out about my underwear.   I did wear some knickers last weekend for a day, which was nice but this is the first time I have had the crop top too.  Considering that I was wearing the underwear full time and the crop tops every weekday evening and all weekends for the previous month, this has been a big gap.  I have really been craving the feeling of a bra or crop top. That stretchy tightness of the band around my chest and the straps over my shoulders. It is such a relief to have one on now.  Because I’m a bit scared about getting caught out again I have only worn the soft crop top as that is least visible under my clothes. The more structured crop top has bra straps which are a bit more noticeable so although I really want to wear that, it felt a bit too risky.  This is so rubbish that I have to hide who I really am ...

23 Sep 2025 - a handbag?

I have not been out presenting female in public for about six months which is a long time.   The last time was my trip to London when I went out to the bar and dinner, which felt great, and to breakfast in the hotel which was less successful. At that time, I felt confident and like I could do this.   Following my wife catching me out with some of my underwear, I cut my hair, put away my clothes and didn’t do anything for a while. It seems my confidence got lost in that too, because when I started thinking about going out dressed again, I felt really nervous about it.  Probably doesn’t help that the anti-trans lobby had successes during this time and it feels a less safe thing to be doing now than it did six months ago.  Whatever the reason, I was pretty scared this time.  The biggest mental hurdle is around changing from male to female clothing, as I have to leave the office and arrive at the mall in male clothing, then be back in male clothing to go home so...

9 Feb 2025 - another week of ups and downs

Another week of ups and downs.  I did go out in a skirt, which was nice but just going around shops dressed female is something I have done quite a few times now and I don’t think I gain much from it in terms of real life experience.  Nothing new anyway.  Since I got the new first crop tops on Wednesday I have been wearing them at home every evening when I change after work and all weekend. Maybe the size 12 is a little tight and I should have got the 14, but it stays where it should and doesn’t ride up like my other less structured crop tops when I raise my arms or do something active.  Yesterday I had enough time to do a quick white wash of a couple of tops, a vest, the short nightdress and a few pairs of knickers. I even managed to iron the top and nightdress today, before my wife got up.  Having dinner last night, I was a bit hot, it being a curry, so I took my jumper off. I’m a bit nervous wearing just one layer over the crop top as you can see the outline ...
