Hello, hope everyone is keeping well and doing the the best they can?
Just thought I'd say hello again and check in.
Still going out and about in Blackpool and loving it 😁
Gaining experience of who I am and growing in confidence.
I've been lurking for a while and not commented but been watching, maybe it's just me that's changed? I'm not sure but I'm happy with who and what I am?
For a while now I've seen myself as gender fluid as opposed to a crossdresser? Is there a difference?
I feel comfortable going out as male or female, is that what gender fluid is or is it something else?
I can go out as Catriona at night and then go down for breakfast the next morning in drab then in the afternoon all dressed up as Cat ready for lunch and afternoon drinks and ready to party as a woman for the night!
Its a very strange world I live in.
Anyway, hope everyone is keeping safe and well in these strange and traumatic times.
Hi Davina, no, no such luck in being whisked off to Hollywood lol.
My situation re my wife is still the same and hasn't progressed, none of my other family still don't know about Catriona, the only acceptance is that my wife seems to have got used to me going away for weekends as Catriona but never shows any interest in what's going on.
I don't get away every month due to work and expense but I'm probably going away dressed every two months or so.
I'm even dressing and getting made up at home on the Friday morning of going away, load up the car and drive up to Blackpool dressed.
I usually meet up with another T-Girl who's become a good friend for lunch and we'll head off to a few bars and a micro pub on the Friday afternoon then everyone meets up later on for a night out around Blackpool.
Its over the weekend that I'll swap between male and female but generally stay dressed as Catriona.
I'm finding at the moment that dressing for a full weekend keeps the urge at bay for quite a while, I've tried dressing at home in between weekends away as I work a 4 day on 4 day off shift pattern so get time on my own but once you've been out and in public it just seems a pointless exercise getting dressed to sit in front of the TV or just mooch around home, plus its a waste of makeup if no one sees me.
The gender fluid thing seems to have slowly dawned on me that when I'm away I enjoy getting ready for a night out, go out as female then go down to breakfast at the hotel in drab then head back up to get ready for going out as female again.
I think that's my relaxation process and enjoy meeting up with other T-Girls and people, it's amazing how many women walk up to you and just pay you compliments over your dress and makeup, that makes you want to be female as much as you can.
Its a strange feeling to have strangers come up to you and give you compliments.
Its the whole social thing for me now, not just being at home and it's become part of my life.
I've found that a lot of ladies are really interested in finding out about who you are and I've spent quite a few nights talking to them about it so as well as having a good time I'm trying to educate people who've never met someone from the transgender community.
So thats where I am at the moment, just being who I want to be and living my best life I suppose.
