    I am wanting to discover a part of myself that I feel like has been missing my whole life. I want to go out shopping, buy myself a dress, buy me make up, and just get all dolled up and go out, but I am really afraid. I am afraid of people looking at me. I am afraid of people snickering at me. I want to be able to go out, and have a guy look at me and think I am beautiful the way I am. This is a struggle. I want to express my femininity. I want to walk into a place, wearing a dress, head held up high, hands on hips, walking the hell out of some heels, and be confidant. Anyone who has experience in this have any advice for me? I want to feel confidant, and know that I am doing what is right for me.

    I am not brave enough yet to tell any of my friends. It was hard enough when I told them I am gay. Now to tell them that I was meant to be a woman..ugh so hard

    I know that feeling! I came out to 2 of my best friends today and it was so hard, and it was over facebook haha, no way i could of done it face to face!
    Just take your time bud, do some real thinking and come to terms with who are and what you want!
    Things like getting clothes, make-up etc etc will help you for sure!
    You can buy online, from next for example, its plain packaging so thats good :slight_smile:
    I'm always here to talk and offer support pal *hugs* (&&&)
