31 Mar 2024 - another weekend, another failure to speak to my wife about my gender

As it is a long weekend, and I have a couple of days off after, if ever there was a good time to talk to my wife about how I feel about my gender and that I want to transition, this weekend is it. 

However I have already let two days pass. 

She was going out Friday evening with friends so telling her before that may have been problematic.  

Today her mother is coming for lunch so don’t want to create upset and an atmosphere in the house before that, and then will speak to mine in the afternoon so that is a barrier too. 

After that though there are no more reasons to hold off and it is by coincidence trans day of visibility, not that that matters at all. 

I know for certain that I want to transition and live as a woman so I need to do this but I am still fearful of starting. 


Now it is Monday and I am continuing to fail to find my courage and this is getting me down. 

We had a moment this morning when I was brushing her hair and we were quite affectionate that might have been the time but I couldn’t say the words. 

I just need to get it over with or I’ll never be able to move forward. 

If there is anything that I can take solace in, it is that I am frustrated with myself and sad that I can’t move forward with transition. The opposite feeling would be relief that I didn’t make a huge mistake and have saved myself from transition. I don’t feel that at all. I’m mostly feeling self loathing that I am so pathetic and cowardly.

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 ...
