Hello and  welcome  to my bit., I imagine if  you are  reading this and not a member  you are  possibly  thinking something  along the lines of  what's in it  for me , well I  will give  you  some  ideas.

So you want to wear clothes that are sold for women, so what? I like many others spent ages trying to work this out for myself. Eventually I gave up on all the soul searching and got on with it. I now sometimes wear a dress, a blouse women's trousers or whatever and a bit of make up when I want to. The world still caries on. I was not the first, I will not be the last and I am not on my own thanks to the society.

I had  encountered  some  other  organisations aimed  at transvestites  that  were not  for me. This society lets me be myself. One thing I learned that there are few rules; respect others, wear clothes suitable to the occasion. I had  heard  stories that  you have  to  conform to  certain minimum  standards , that was  all nonsense. I now do as I please. Personally I blur the lines between masculine and feminine and mix and match my wardrobe to suit. That is my style and it may not be yours

If you had  told me 6 years ago  that I would  be  packing evening dresses , and a silk trouser  suit  for my holiday on QE2 I would  not have believed you. I do like going away on cruise ships for my holidays, dress up for the formal nights, and have found that people are generally accepting. I realise we are different but come along and see what you can achieve. I know I had been hiding a lot of myself away and now I can move on and do more with life.
