    Weekend spent as Trisha

    August 4 2007

    I went shopping yesterday and met with my friend Betty Sue.... What a great time we both had. Had a wonderful morning, afternoon and evening out yesterday enfemme, my semi-weekly adventure. And didn’t really have an agenda yesterday except I wanted to wear my new outfit I had bought last week while working in Santa Barbra. Discovered this cute Jaclyn Smith brownish (with a faint paisley pattern) Moleskin faux wrap long skirt and matching jacket, orange knit top, black heels, black pantyhose with roses embossed in them at K-Mart…. Plus jewelry also..

    Nothing special happened yesterday with one exception my friend Betty convinced me to have lunch with her at the Cheese Factory other than that it was a luscious day out. First Betty and I went to the Dress Barn in Rancho Cugamonga . What a great shop! They cater to us girls and make us feel VERY welcome. The staff that work there are absolute dolls and will even allow you to utilize the dressing room to try on any of the outfits, if you are having problems making a choice. It was an unhurried and most delectable time for the both of us... Betty and I must have tried on at least l5 outfits where I finally purchased two Capri Set's, a day dress and two short outfits. Betty and I then went to Torrid Fashions... It carried Plus Sizes. The sales clerk, actually fawned all over Betty and Me and wanting to chat and chat and chat and she offered her opinion on what she thought would look nice on the both of us.....helping me find something to fit. This store had a marvelous selection of plus sizes starting at 14 and a great selection of styles I found a few dresses that I will be purchasing later this month from that store... . Again, the staff were wonderful and kept telling me how great I looked when I tried on some of the dresses and what I wore yesterday while shopping in their store... I can say this about the staff MOST were complimentary and actually very encouraging. All in all a wonderful afternoon in heels!.. Ended up purchasing two pairs of jeans, one pair of Capri's, two slinky and clinging type of blouses and a pair of sketch sandals from Torrid Fashions..... Girls those sandals are the most comfortable sandals to wear, a little pricey but well worth the price....

    While out yesterday with my friend Betty both of us strolled Victoria Gardens a huge outdoor shopping mall set up to look like a small town. Although I didn't feel or look my best and I far from have a feminine walk, no one bothered us and as nervous as I was it felt just great. It was truly an extremely and exhilarating experience yesterday and my being able to walk around Victoria Gardens as Trisha with my friend Betty Sue where she took me to lunch at the Cheese Factory certainly made for a wonderful afternoon... My first time ever going and eating at the Cheese Factory as Trisha.... Have to say this about that place.... They treated us Great! Very nice place, good food with reasonable prices. Another place I can recommend as being trans gender friendly....

    On the way home yesterday evening, I decided to stop at this small club located in VictorVille, it's a gay orientated mixed club that is Trans gender friendly, stopping in for a drink since they have a nice little bar and the bartender is really cute. There was nobody at the bar at all the bartender commented and asked me if someone was going to meet with me. I said "NO", just heading home and thought I would stop here and see if anything was going on.... We chatted for a while as I finished my drink and still nobody came into the bar. I still had a long drive home and finished my one drink... For a Friday evening I was the only one in the bar... I guessed that was a sign so I decided, I'd just go home... I felt somewhat tired from shopping and spending the day with Betty... Drove home and immediately changed into the Olga black nightie I bought earlier in the week while I was in Santa Barbra.. Turned on the TV and it didn't take me long to fall fast asleep... Last night I had this dream that I was meeting with a friend who lived in Oklahoma... A G who finally obtained her nursing degree and she wanted me to move in with her and become her live in soul/mate.... Waking up this morning with both of my dogs in bed with me laying along side of me... I woke with a smile on my face and felt this wonderful warm feeling through out me.....feeling totally refreshed.... Maybe this dream was telling me that there is a Woman out there waiting to meet someone like me.. SMILING, is there???

    Nothing special happening to day except I had to go out to get some things at K-Mart and decided that I had to go in drab. Only problem was I didn't want to take off the nail polish so I just left it on. No problem at the store because it has a self checkout. The customer service person must have seen my nails because she smiled at me and said something about nails as I left and exited K-Mart.... I Returned back home and spent the remainder of the morning out enfemmen and getting some exercise....rode my bike 15 miles... I'd exercise more if I could dress this way all the time riding my bike...!!! Wearing my light blue three piece exercises sweat suit...

    Lately I’ve really started feeling and seeing the changes occurring to my body and loving every minute of my new life as I spend more and more time as Trisha! My body is coming along nicely, showing some real changes in certain spots.... It's such a wonderful feeling when my hand touches my breast's how my nipples seem to enlarge and respond to the touch.. I'm finding myself fondling my breasts alot now... When I stand straight, my body seems to have a more curvy look to it, especially when I'm standing sideways... Maybe its just my imagination, however as I stood there this morning in front my full length mirror, I could actually see changes beginning to occur... Have kept in touch with my counselor via the telephone and e-mail... Been having pretty good phone sessions with my therapist lately, just love the time when I'm able to chat with her. She's made an appointment for me to see her in September... Most of this summer I haven't seen her, just chatted on the phone or e-mails... She really clears the head, and clears up my questioning of some of my old problems when ever I have chatted with her or when I have read her responses to my e-mails... A lot of my doubts can be traced back to the Dysphoria.

    Looks like information on being Transgendered is becoming more mainstream news... I see so many programs on television that show us in a good light and that we are just like everyone else trying to live our lives in a peaceful existence...

    http://msnbc.msn.com/id/18618970/site/newsweek/

    Most of the way they used to portrayed us in the movies and on TV is just silly, (yes there are a small percentage that act that way, but that is their choice too) most of us are just like everyone else.

    Do you know what a tTg Girl is?

    It means I Am a woman from within, and I think and act as a woman does, so, to complete my life, I transition with female hormones, and a full array of feminine clothing, make up, and everything else that a genetically born female would have in her life.... Those of us who are Transgendered Non-Op Transsexuals are Women from within... Of course many of us have had to live a duel existence's most of our lives which has made it difficult for many of us to finish or complete the long journey to Womanhood...

    Looking and acting as a real woman has taken me years and years to perfect, not an easy road taken when I had to live a duel life...

    Are there any Large Sized Women in the Southern California area interested developing a friendship/relationship Me... A Woman or another Pre-0p like myself that would help me perfect my makeup skills, hair styling skills, mannerisms to where they would become more natural looking and not like I'm forcing them out... One who would enjoy going on outings, such as dinning out, going to clubs, going dancing, site seeing, enjoys museums, art galleries, wine tasting, cultural events, wine tasting, ect...... Maybe even become intimate... Yes although not functional as a male, I still have those thriving inner needs where I want to be touched, held tightly and closely, love having my breast's fondled, having and producing kisses that become so hot, both of us melt in one another arms... Is that possible... Can it become a reality.. Or Am I just a dreamer and have the reality that I'll probably end up living alone the remainder of my life..

    I Am looking for a serious long term relationship, with either a supportive and loving large sized woman, or, a supportive, and loving Tg girl like I Am...who lives in the Southern California area.... I Am fully prepared to meet someone new, and go from there, after all, I don't want to transition all by myself, so, doing it together is better than doing it all alone..

    My sincere wish is to meet a large sized Woman, or a T-girl who like myself is a Non-0p transsexual, that will accept me into being Trisha Marie, full time and would assist and help me in going all the way too, especially since I wish live full time and that includes my using hormones and having an Orchidectomy too...

    Here's an article I just read the other day and thought you all might be interested reading.... Enjoy I certainly did....

    crossdressercutUntitledIf you've ever seen The Dick Van Dyke Show, you'll be fascinated to hear that their TV son little Ritchie grew up to be a cross-dresser! The whole story is in this week's Globe. 51 year old Larry Mathews, who played Ritchie Petrie, confesses he started wearing dresses when he was a teenager on Halloween and liked it too much to stop. He's been happily married for twenty years to a woman who not only doesn't mind him dressing up, but lends him her clothes! (They're the SAME size!) He dresses in full drag for parties, clubs, and special events, but when he goes to work (at a video post production facility) he limits himself to pink polish (OPI's Strawberry Margarita) on toes and fingers and eye shadow. Larry can't understand why society frowns on a man wearing a dress. "No one bats an eyelash if they see a woman in men's clothes!  Posted by Janet Charlton on May 23, 2007 4:33

     
    I have to spend later in the day with my spouse today.... Taking her to see her family {sisters}... A duty that keeps peace and harmony in this household...
    Hugs.. Hope to hear from you some of you soon...

    A Closer look at my life: Trisha

    A CLOSER LOOK AT MY LIFE: TRISHA ROBERTS

    My goals as a TG/TS are simply to live my life as the person I am;
    just another woman making her way in the world. It might be a plain
    life, even at times mundane, but it's a good one. At least I
    finally get to be real, whole, genuine, authentic - not a bad way to
    live.

    The best advice I received, when I started out, was from a post-op
    of many years. "Rush SLOWLY," she said. Huh? With time, I
    learned to appreciate the wisdom in those two little, seemingly
    oxymoronic, words. Don't charge head-first into things. Study.
    Learn. Explore. And most of all; grow. Get to know yourself as a
    woman, whatever manifestation that may be. Give yourself space and
    time to learn who this part of you is. Watch others; learn from
    them by their example - what to do, as well as what NOT to do.
    Ninety percent of all this is just getting your head on straight.
    The rest is just mechanics.

    And STOP being male about being a woman! There is nothing feminine
    about male attitudes, ego, or the arrogance of male privilege. That
    does not mean you need to be a doormat, but learn that women act and
    interact entirely different, on so many levels, than do men. If you
    are going to be a woman, then BE and ACT like a woman - not a man in
    a dress. Transition never really ends.

    I learn new things every day about being a woman, even after 51 plus
    years. When I stop learning, I may as well crawl into a box and
    close the lid over me forever, because I will be equal to being
    dead. One thing so many transsexuals forget (or never learn) is
    that all spectrums of the TG community can teach us much. While
    transsexuals and cross dressers often have different needs, goals
    and identities, sectarianism in the TG community has no place.
    I seek only to learn from other's experiences - their cumulative
    wisdom - to share the laughter in their joy, to lend a shoulder for
    their tears.

    I always enjoy meeting other TS/TG's and am always willing to meet
    for coffee with just about anyone. We each have our challenges as
    well as our blessings. I have been truly blessed in so many, many
    ways. Though I believe that hard work, coupled with attitude,
    contributes substantially how I love my life and the direction it's
    taken me where I live every moment to the fullest.. I equally
    confront horrendous loss and devastating challenges as well.
    Aside from the deep sadness I feel over having lost most of my
    family due to thier non-acceptance of my going forward with my
    transistioning. . My life would have been so very rich and full
    beyond measure if they could have supported and accepted the fact
    that this is what makes me the most happiest... Being able to become
    the Woman I've felt since my earliest childhood memories..

    The transgendered community isn't just about "beauty". It's about
    self acceptance and self expression of our inner truths. It's about
    being true to ourselves and learning how to integrate the "woman
    within"... We cannot change the past nor predict the future.
    Living in the present seems the only worthwhile pursuit.

    We cannot change the past nor predict the future. Living in the
    present seems the only worthwhile pursuit.

    One of the things that I would really like to do is to take formal
    voice lessons. I have never mastered the voice. Any suggestions on how I can improve and soften my tone....

    I've heard many comments recently concerning the remarks some of you
    have received from the public, while you were out dressed en-femme.
    Well, I'm no expert at going out, but I do it alot these days. And
    yes, each time I go out, I get read by at least one person -
    probably more, but the others don't make it obvious.

    Why is it when I post on my web site, I sometimes feel like I'm
    wasting my time... I rarely ever hear from many who do belong to
    this group.. Are most of you just closeted and too afraid to just
    emerge or come out of your safety shell....

    Here I Am in my late 50's, still active in the community but have
    yet met anyone who belongs to my group in person...from the high desert or Inland Empire....
