5th February 2024 - almost got caught! But maybe I wish I had been

I had forgotten how weird it feels wearing trousers when you have smooth legs. I had tights on yesterday so didn’t notice it, but this morning I really felt it. The awareness didn’t last long but it was certainly noticeable for a while.

I so nearly got caught out this morning. My wife was out for what I thought was the whole morning so I took the chance to wash my female underwear as I am almost out of clean knickers even only wearing them at weekends. She got home much earlier than expected and literally five seconds after the tumble dryer finished its cycle and beeped.  Any earlier and I would have had to explain why I was doing laundry, or worse, she could have looked to see what I was washing and that would have raised some uncomfortable questions. 

A close call, and why I really need to be open with her. 

Although I want to be open anyway. Having always hid in the closet, I suddenly find myself absolutely desperate to come out of it.  I don’t want to let more time pass with never having lived as myself.  I really need to be a woman and I want to start transitioning now.  I want to book the appointment with the gender specialist, get a diagnosis and get on hormones as soon as I possibly can. Even if I do that now, it will take a couple of months to actually begin and who knows how long before I start to feel different and see feminisation in my body.  The rules are that I will have to have been both on hormones and living full time as a woman for a year before I can get a referral for surgery so realistically it will be end of next year at the earliest to get vaginoplasty.  Feels a long way off

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 ...
