It's been a whole day since all this happened and I still have a great smile from ear to ear!
I've often thought how nice it would be to go out with someone instead of being on my own and this is dream come true. She also talked about me meeting up with some of her friends that she usually goes out with too. Although I did tell her I would want her to explain my circumstances first, before we meet, to make sure they were as accepting.
Thank you all for your lovely replies. I really do appreciate each and every one ~ and promise to keep you up to date with developments.
Love Suzy

Suzy, I know exactly how you feel when I came out to some of my close girl friends, the looks on their faces is priceless, and when they finally get to see your femme self, the looks are even more priceless. Congrats on telling you coworker, too bad the other woman did not show. Suzy it sounds like things are going to get better for you as you expand you feminine horizons. I wish you good luck my dear. it has been a year since I decided to let Vivian come out more and more, now I am where you are, I wan to live full time as a woman. I hope I can meet you at southern comfort in atlanta this september.
I have been to a few femme getaways, and every time I go I want to go full time more and more. All I can say is, I am very happy for you and wish you the best of luck, and I hope you can go full time as female soon.Vivian
ps, you are a beautiful woman.
Gosh Suzy from inspired by others to being an inspiration to others and in such a short time.
I am way way behind you in getting out and I know I could never fly SAA
I wish you every happines for the future
Edwina
Hi Suzy,
I'm really proud of you and happy for you as well. I'm glad you came out to your friend. Can't wait to here more!
Huggs, Renee
Wow again! That's a big step, Suzy. Like Kimberly said, you have travelled a long way with this, from "hiding in the room" to now. Perhaps she's right about slowing down.
Because now the questions get harder. You're going to enjoy going out with your friend, I have no doubt. I'll bet it's going to be exciting and new, exhilirating and fun. And sometime soon the nagging question that's been inside you for many, many years is going to require an answer.
It seems to me that you really really really want to be a woman. Trust me, I can relate. I'm likely never going to transition, but there's not a day that goes by that I don't wish on some level that I was a woman. There is alway some degree of regret there. And I'm guessing that that regret is growing inside you at a rapid rate right now.
Whatever you decide, I wish you good luck, success, and happiness on your journey. We're always around for you. You have been one of the more familiar faces here for a long time, and we all care about you. Thanks for the very uplifting story. I'm real happy for you, and I'm glad it's all worked out well so far.
Have some flowers, what the heck.
Thank you Marla ~ I really do feel I'm at the crossroads in my life at the moment. It's starting to dawn on me that it might well be possible to go full time and still keep my job ~ which is something I have never thought possible.
In addition I am blown out of the water with the support my friend is offering, even to the point of her saying to me that I shouldn't hold myself back and should transition if that's what I really want to do. She is high up in the company and would carry a great influence in the chances me of keeping in the job. Not only that, in the very same week I attended a company seminar where they affirmed they valued diversity and would protect the rights of all ~ including the Transgendered.
Of course the danger is moving too fast and regretting things later. I think nine full days in Atlanta and the SCC conference will help to make up my mind where I'm to go from here.
It looks like I'll be going out more often now and also get the advice and support of my dear friend. Yes things are moving fast, but the more experiences I have the more I want.
Today all three of us met up at my first friends house to let the second one know what's happening. I'm sorry I can't give out names but this is a public forum and anyone in Perth in our field, will recoginise these names if I gave them out.
In short she is 100% supportive as well. So much so that she wants to come shopping too, so we've had to change our shopping date to next Sunday instead of the week after, as she can only make it on that day.
On Sunday the three of us are going to meet up for coffee and then have a girls shopping spree in the city. After talking about breasts and busts, they are determined to get me to buy a Wonder Bra ! (the type with gell in the inserts to bolster the bust)
They have both also said that if I did decide to go full time at a later stage, they can approach the customers to prepare the way ahead for me.
I did ask her if she ever suspected as she was the one who told me jokingly, some time ago, if I ever wanted a decent lip plumper then don't buy the brand she had just bought!
She said she had no idea, but once, and only once she wondered for a second why my eyebrows seemed so thin and well trimmed..
So far so good and we'll see what they think of the real me next week. They've both seen about 50 photos of me by now so they are prepared although what they will think of the real thing we have yet to find out.....

Ooooh! The excitement mounts!
This is really great! You could not have scripted a better beginning to all of this! I hope your shopping day is all you hope it will be! Very exciting. I'm really glad for you. I'm wishing good things for you, and I hope that all this goes very well for you.
And you're right.....now you're REALLY out there!

Suzy,
All I can say is congratulations! I am soooooo
for you
! You must be on
(I know I would be).
to your journey, and I hope it continues to be a happy, exciting experience. BIG

I have been reading every post with great excitement. You don't know how encouraging this is to me. It seems like you made all the right steps and knew your co-workers well before sharing. I love the idea of bringing the pictures. I always have my pictures to show when I talk to someone in guy mode.
Now, you have to keep us up to date.....

Great story, Suzy! You are so lucky! I didn't have photos or the Internet to tell my wife, but she was not surprised! She understands me but she was disappointed that I lied and kept secrets from her. She always thought I was strange or different.
When I came out to her parents, I simply showed up fully dressed. They have seen me dressed for Halloween each year, but this was NOT Halloween. Her father laughed and doesn't care. Her mother doesn't like it and prefers not to see it, but she would like to borrow some of my things. Her sister also doesn't like it and says she doesn't want to see it, but she snoops at my MySpace page and still shops with us no matter how I dress. We always thought she was a f2m crossdresser, anyway.
When I came out to MY family, I got varied reactions. One of my nephews was browsing through my wife's MySpace friends. He likes big gals and visited my page. I just happened to call him on the phone as he found it and was shocked to learn that was me! He also dressed as a woman for Halloween and is curious. His dad and a few other nephews are curious and accepting.
My younger sister and my mom are COMPLETELY unaccepting and won't bother with me anymore. My mom is 81 years old and claims she doesn't remember yelling at me for crossdressing as a child. My wife thought it was odd that the men were accepting and the women were not. She is so supportive and she said if anyone deserves to be upset, it would be her. Yet she helps me and other CDs. It just shows that we really don't know what kind of reaction we may get.
I am so glad your story had a happy ending!

Yeah, Donna, I think it's a little strange, too. But maybe the women are a little more threatened by a man invading their 'space' and the men, who have already given up on you as a man because you're 'weird' , are glad to lose the competition for the attention of women. Dunno really, but this pops into my head.
In any event, you've made some new, different friends, which is good and you've lost some older, but more bigoted friends, which is also good!
Keep at it, dear one. How we feel about ourselves is much more important than the
worry of keeping up the appearance of a persona we're unhappy with!
One of my MySpace friends says it is better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for who you are not. I can say I am happier to be myself than to pretend to be someone I don't like.
My mother-in-law was jealous of my new pink raincoat. When I came out in April, my wife bought EVERYTHING I would need, including this coat. She even tried it on and thought it looked good on herself. Her mom thinks she OWNS pink and was jealous of my clothes. It was funny.
My mother probably has some guilt because she had a daughter, then a son, then me and then another boy (and a few more children). She said I should have been a girl and didn't cut my hair. I looked pretty with long, curly hair and a sweet baby face. I tried on my sister's clothes while she was at school and that was the beginning of my crossdressing.
My mother was furious to see me in girly clothes, but I loved them. When I was a teenager, I "borrowed" clothes I found on wash lines while collecting trash. She threw them away. I moved out and got more clothes! She claims she didn't know about any of this, but I think she doesn't want to admit to any of it.
You can't close your eyes, cover your ears and wish things were different. That just doesn't happen. I didn't ask to be this way. Somehow I always just felt that way. My father was a truck driver who would visit to get mom pregnant, then leave again. He died before my son was born and I don't care, because he didn't care about me. I never had a good male role model while my mom cared for 7 children.
I don't know how much life can affect crossdressing. I still feel like I was born this way. But how much and when we crossdress is affected by society. I can't dress for work or when I want sex with my wife. Sometimes I don't need or want to dress that way, anyway. But I want to dress like a woman more often than I want to dress like a man.
Suzy all I can say is WOW!!!!!! I kept reading your story and saying wow. Your story is so cool. The pink fog must be getting so thick it makes it hard to see. You are one lucky girl and I am so happy that things are going so well in your life. lucky girl.
keep on gurlin everyone. paula may
Fantastic story - I'm really happy for you! I truly admire you for being honest about who you are and taking a chance on your friend. You girls really are my heroes and I wish you continued happiness in everything you do.

Wow. That is so cool. Keep us posted.
Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right.
We're still on track for Sunday and today one of my two friends gave me a present of a pair of small hoop earrings ~ so sweet of her.

Just please be careful, Suzy. This has to be quite a novelty for both your friends right now. They've probably read about crossdressers and transexuals, but likely have never met or known one. And for you, the novelty of actually having some GG friends who know and want to do things with you might be a lot like driving drunk, I'm thinking. It would be easy to get caught up in the moment and do something reckless that you might later regret.
Hey, I'm not raining on the parade, my friend. I'm just advising caution as you move forward, that's all. But all that aside, have fun! I hope Sunday is a great day for you, and I'm sure I speak for us all when I say I can't wait to read about it!

9 out of 10 Dr say I'm sane. The 10th one never made it to the hearing. Did you know that California has drop bears ?
First a groom then a bride. Never again.
Suzy,
Congratulations, that is awesome!

Not exactly, but most Australians appreciate what the US did for us in protecting Australia from invasion during the Second World War. The UK was fully tied up trying to keep Adolf back and couldn't do much to hold the Japanese from walking in.
If it wasn't for the US, there wouldn't be an Australia now ~ and we won't ever forget that.
Marla :MJ:Just please be careful, Suzy. This has to be quite a novelty for both your friends right now. It would be easy to get caught up in the moment and do something reckless that you might later regret.be careful, Suzy.
Dear MJ and Marla - thank you for your concern.
I realise that things are happening pretty fast for me at the moment, but I will be careful. Of course I really trust my two friends and know they have my best interests at heart, but I also realise that all three of us are treading new ground.
