Hello again, divine readers!
I would like to take this time to reflect on the wonders of femininity and the simply liberating effect it has on our souls.
Just like most of you, I have fully embraced my feminine side after many years of experimentation and discovery. This process surely was rocky to say the least, and I had many moments of doubt and insecurity. The world as we know it can be a daunting place for men who embrace the feminine aesthetic, but ultimately the feeling of being true to yourself outweighs any of the challenges that may come along with it. In the recent year, I have continued to push the gender envelope in all the places I exist publicly, and my confidence has been bolstered to a level I never thought to be possible.
Many factors have played into my newly found poise, but one of the primary ones is the simple fact that my femininity has been empowered by the existence of communities such as this one. XDress has been a wonderful place for personal validation, both in the confidence the models exude by presenting en femme, as well as the customers that share similar experiences and mentalities. The customer base only continues to grow with each passing day, and this fact goes to show how many men out there are accepting themselves as truly authentic, feminine individuals. This is such an inspiring period of history and I am truly proud to be a part of it.
I recently started a new job, and just like I do anywhere else, I presented the way I feel the most comfortable. This includes wearing satin blouses, beautiful skirts and dresses, and glamorous heels and makeup. Initially I did experience a fair amount of hesitation, and dressed a bit more androgynous as I became acclimated to my new environment. However, I quickly came to realize that no one really cared about my fashion choices, and instead I received many compliments and intrigued individuals who wanted to know more about me. One of my coworkers in particular told me: "Seeing someone who is so unapologetically themselves is always a great person to know".
At this moment I had never felt so proud of myself and my confidence continued to soar to new levels. Another coworker also was explaining my feminine presentation to another, stating "he dresses for fashion, and he looks amazing". These are experiences I simply had to share with you all, as I only wish to inspire every reader of this blog to eradicate any of the toxic societal conditioning you have endured throughout your life. To fully embrace my femininity unabashedly is an experience that I would not give up for anything. After all, gender is a spectrum that we all are free to experiment with as we desire. There are no defined rules or expectations for men or women in how they should appear anymore.
Times are changing rapidly, and it's important for every single one of us to realize and embrace this change to become truly empowered. I mean, how exquisite does it feel to come home after a long days work, and put on something like the Couture Satin & Lace Chemise? Better yet, wearing the Satin Ribbon and Bow Platforms to a a night out? I guarantee such experiences will leave you feeling confident and full of divine femininity that you will never want to give it up. And you never should. Our lives are our own, and we all are free to live them as we desire.
One final example I may share; I recently went clothes shopping while wearing an absolutely gorgeous pair of black patent heels. I live in a rather conservative area and most people around me dress very casual, so I stuck out as much as a sore thumb. At this point, I actually welcome any stares I receive, whether they are full of judgement or admiration. Such actions only prove that I have invoked another person's curiosity to a level where they may start becoming more open minded. Even if they are not, it feels good to burst the black and white bubble people often live in and force them to start thinking differently.
So set yourself free, embrace your femininity and become more empowered than you ever thought possible. Please share whatever experiences you have had that bolstered your confidence like I have. The more we support each other, the happier we can become!
Xoxo,
Nathan

hello frank As I understand it with Frank, I still haven’t had the courage to wear another more visible type of clothing. However, every day under my suit I wear my favorite lingerie that I choose according to my state of mind or my boyfriend chooses for me. Like Frank, I feel invigorated and ready for another day of hard work. The reward is that we look beautiful for ourselves and for the people we love and are with us. Yours sincerely. Francisca
I admire the confidence you have to openly wear feminine clothes. Unfortunately I haven’t yet managed to get to a level where I can confidently wear feminine garments that would be visible to others. Instead I fulfil the expression of my femininity through the lingerie that I wear beneath my masculine clothes. Today, I am at work in my regular business suit, however beneath my outward appearance I am wearing nylon stockings over my smooth freshly shaven legs, along with a satin and lace garter belt, satin panties and a silky camisole. No-one else knows about my secret underdressing. But I do, and I’m feeling empowered through the secret expression of my inner femininity…
Eric-that’s such a lovely story, and well done for “owning up”-it’s a really brave thing to do when you just don’t know what the response will be-so pleased for you. Sometimes it just feels right to take that step, and your gut instinct takes over and makes it happen. I was in a similar position-albeit not with an SO or GF, but with an understanding acquaintance-I was scared stiff, but now I’m just so happy that I took the plunge, and can be a fully dressed Georgina with a friend. Good for you! Georgina
you are one lucky person !
I have been cross dressing off and on for almost 30 years. I grew up in a very strict mormon household and was always taught that it was wrong and immoral. My parents found my panties one day and sent me to the bishop to talk about what I was doing. I was sent to a Mormon counselor for counseling. He sent me to Sexaholics anonymous because my cross dressing almost always led to self pleasure. I ended up serving a mission for the church, but found a way to get panties while I was out and would wear them whenever I could. I ended up telling the mission president and getting sent home. My wife and I have been married for 17 years and I finally came out to her on our anniversary. She couldn’t have been more supportive! I was amazed. She told me that she didn’t care and that I should just be me. I have dreaded that conversation since we started dating and it went better than I thought. She told me that I could have a space in our room for my clothing and items and she even commented how cool it was that we had matching panties! It’s hard being a cross dresser living in Utah because of the church and judgements. I wish I had more support, but knowing my wife has no problem with it, is a huge step in the right direction for me.
