Always thought of myself as just a weird duck. I was an advocate for male skirts for the last 5 years and have always told my wife that I felt I was either a woman in a past life or I'll be a woman in another lifetime. Never thought of myself as Transgender until I actually watched a documentary on being Transgender...Surprise!
In the 4th decade of my life, I've decided to take the plunge and begin living my life as authentically me. Maybe this channel is just for me, maybe it will be of some help or inspiration to you, in any case, thank you for taking a moment to check it out. - Kelly
This is an interesting video. As a trans woman myself, I find this videos quite eye opening to the diversity of the trans experience. I married my partner before transition but that’s not the case for many it seems!
So you are married and had kids and after all these years all of a sudden you found out you are a woman? This is messed up. You make our lives harder as real women trapped in a male' body. We don't have any attraction to women. Anyway who am I to judge. You look great though😢
I wish I had seen this 5 years ago. I came out as trans just over a year ago at 65. You very right about the bad old days. I'm sure we all have our horror stories. You are very right when you say the whole family is effected. My kids are in their 30s andctheybare stugling with this. I actually enjoy shopping now😊, my wife and I are having blast. Not sure if you are still making content but thankyou this morning I needs a boost, hrt can be a bitch.
You definitely have had a great success by 6 months that's amazing. I am not where you were being 5 months hrt but have had some improvements. I am getting boob growth which feels amazing. I haven't noticed any changes in my face other than from electrolysis unfortunately. I wish that wasn't the case. My hair is slowly getting better and I am loving that. I really resonated with what you said about wearing skirts in public as a man. I used to do the same thing. I laughed out loud when you mentioned the fact that people would secretly record you with their cell phones. I had the exact same experience. Please record me try to be very secretive. Sometimes they would laugh and snicker or point. I used to love playing with them. I remember one couple trying to secretly take pictures of me inside a store. I kept moving out of position so they had to keep following me. And then I stopped my back towards them. But I figured they were right in the middle of taking the picture I whipped around really quickly. I caught them in the act. They were so embarrassed and tried to deny it. I what's a good sport though. I told him that it was okay and if they wanted to they could get a picture with me. And they did. I got many other stories like that. I do know that when I go out in public wearing a skirt now I get much less attention than I used to. Most of the time nobody even notices. Maybe the changes are more than I think. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Kelly. I don't know if you'll get this message or not since it looks like it's been a while since you posted to this channel. I just wanted to tell you is that what you said in this video resonated with me more than any video I've seen so far. It's funny that your video is about 5 years old now. At the time you were 47 and on 5 months HRT. I find there's a lot of parallels with your life and mine. I could talk about it for quite a while it's not really enough space here in a comment for that. I came out as trans last summer at the age of 45. As of me writing this I am 46 and have been on HRT for 5 months. So very close to the timeline of your video. I live on a 2 and a third acres here in British Columbia. My wife and I have been building our little hobby farm for about 10 years now. I really resonated with the fact that you used to wear skirts. I wear skirts for about 20 years before coming out as trans. I used to wear them all the time although most people I knew didn't see me in them. My wife had seen me in them for years. I used to go into different forums back then about guys wearing skirts. Trying to find some sort of normalcy to it. Trying to figure out how I can get away with wearing skirts and still being a man. I knew about trans people and couldn't relate to them in a lot of ways. They were very much over the top. Say that things like transitioning that were a bit too much. Internally though, I really respected them, I was actually very envious of them. My childhood is very similar incense of finding out that I had this interest at an early age. Of course back then this was not okay. Shortly after having my first kid I stopped wearing skirts. I got a lot of shame for wanting to do so. And I didn't want my child to be embarrassed about me. I figured it would re-enter my life at some point. But as of the beginning of last year I had no idea what was in store for me. Now on for 5-months HRT having come out to friends and family i am finally getting a chance to find my true self for the first time in my life. I find it's kind of funny me writing this right now in my greenhouse as you were recording your video in yours. Although it's nice and warm here in mine. Anyway now that I found that your first video, I'm going to add the rest of them to my playlist. I look forward to hearing about your journey. Thank you so much for sharing it. ❤ Britt
It's taken you a long time to even start resembling a woman and to be quite frank with you when a bloke who is not feminine from the onset starts the process it's logically gonna take a shit load of more time than say some guy that's already half feminine lol 😂
Hello. First of all. You are a beautiful woman. Second, I just starting my transition. Hormone therapy next month, electrolysis next week. What is the name of the documentary on being Transgender that you speak about.
I really appreciate your videos. I was also born in 1971 and I want to start transitioning. My spouse started transitioning 2 years ago. Unfortunately, we live in the Southeastern US. Transitioning MTF he can be unsafe for me and my family. I also work in a male dominant field. It’s becoming more difficult each day to live as a male and moving right now isn’t a possibility.
Shame on you for feeling like this doesn’t have consequences for the spouse who didn’t ask for this. When YOU knew before hand but still drug a not gay wife through this. I am going through this and this is not ok to do to another human. This is NOT the same as someone who has cancer or being paralyzed. You chose to take another human through your issues knowing you had issues and not being honest. The damage you inflict is intentional and not ok. Shame on you.
She didn't know beforehand. This is the same as simply coming to terms with some undiagnosed illness. They didn't "chose to take another human through this" they were with another human when they went through this.
I totally get your situation as it took my husband 24 years together to tell me he is trans. He knew he had all these feelings years ago at age 14 and chose not to tell me and let us get married and have 2 children together and blew my world apart 3 years ago after I thought he was having an affair so confronted him. I gave him the choice to go live his life as a her but he wouldn't do it so we're still here, same situation, he's still walking about as a he but shaves and watching trans videos in secret (which I know about but he hasn't told me) so he is living a real lie and not addressing it. I tried to get him help from GP and support groups and counselling and he hasn't took up anything so don't know where we are going in life. I just wouldnt be sexually attracted to him as a she, and that is my choice, and he knows it. I wish I could do this but I'm struggling as a hetero wife. He should have done hr decent thing and told me 27 years ago to give me the choice to stay or go ... It's so important the trans community are honest from day dot as this affects so many people once you start getting involved and having a family.
Hi, I don't really know if you will read this, but here goes. I am 27 years old and I am married to a sweet and loving man. We have only been married for 2 years and have a total of 5 years in our relationship. I am not sure if this is the platform to share, but I would love your insight on something. My problem with my marriage is not because he is not a good guy, I love him very much and I accept his imperfections. We frankly have a wonderful marriage and we compromise and understand and educate each other.... But recently my husband has started to act erradically about his Gender. We started off as just exploring his Gender and I allowed and supported him in exploring his femininity by letting him wear girl's clothes. at first it was about just wanting to wear girl's clothes, and now it has escalated to some sense of body dysphoria or maybe even body dysmorphia? He says he feels disconnected with his manhood down there, he started watching lesbian porn and imagine himself as the other girl and me as the other lesbian, he even tried to change his name into a girl in one of his online friend. He even said that on a few occasions he tried to touch his chest and felt that it was too empty and he needed to have breasts. I did not know it would escalate to this, because before he was not like this. Yes, he was more feminine in some way; gentle, kind, sweet natured, but it wasn't as if he hated his shoulders for being masculine and broad or he doesn't like his manhood or his chest. I thought it was just accepting his feminine side, but I can see that it is also now about rejecting his masculinity. It has come to a point where he felt he feels or maybe he identifies as transgender. He is not sure yet. I am not sure if he is just getting obsessed over this labels, or if he truly means it. As a straight woman, I am not sexually attracted to a transgender and that is something I don't think I can change. Now my marriage seems to be falling apart, as he thinks he is a girl... Is there any advice or help you can give me? For now I explain to him that some of his disconnected and even possible hatred towards his masculinity is because of his childhood trauma and growing up as someone not considered as "manly." I also try to tell him he can both have femininity and masculinity and that as long as he doesn't hate on his Pen*s down there, and start to love his body as is (no matter if it's a male's body), then I will be with him. He can both be a man and a woman....I am not sure if this is a good compromise. He says he will try to reconnect as a man, and has agreed after 1 night of me crying, to cut his long hair. We have paused for now his girly activities such as putting make up on, dressing up, etc. Will my marriage work or is this a big red sign that says I need to let go of him? I love him very much, and I accept him as he is. I do not want to give up. He does not want to give up either. He says he will choose me and stop his desires to be a girl before it is too late. He says he loves me more than his need to be a girl, but he still thinks he is part a girl and disconnected as a boy. I am scared. I am lost. I feel so empty. I feel like the whole world has gone dark and I am blind to any happiness. I want to die. I miss him! I miss my husband, but I love him. Will I have to lose the person I fell in love with? Can we keep this compromise or is he just being suppressed and one day leave me anyway? I don't know of he is transgender or he is just gender fluid or something? I feel like he is just going out of control and that he is gender fluid more than transgender? I have no idea tbh if he is sure he is transgender. He seems to also not know himself. He says he is not attracted to guys, and he is still sexually attracted to me...and only me. I am so scared. I do not know what to do. Please give me some advice. It would greatly be appreciated.
It might sound really cheesy but I cried happy tears when I saw your smile lol I am so happy for you and your wife 🥰 Stay beautiful and happy, gorgeous 😘
You and your wife are a lot like me and mine. I figured myself out two years ago aged 52. I'm socially transitioned now but ready to start HRT. In fact we're scheduled to go to our doctor next month so I can start the conversation about HRT. My wife and I have a loving relationship a lot like yours and she is very supportive. It's so encouraging to see such an amazing transformation in someone closer to my age. Thanks for sharing this video
Love your video and if I may I post this if it helps anyone. I'm 62 and only just started my journey 4 months ago. I had to go private via GenderGP due to NHS waiting lists (that's another story) but finally, my GP has picked up on it and I get my prescriptions from her along with blood tests. I used to self med which I strongly suggest you don't do unless you know what you are doing-I'm fortunate in having done 5 yrs at medical school-left to join the military instead of graduating as a GP. In my time one could not come out as gay or lesbian transgendering was never heard of and one would just be dismissed from the service -A lot better these days. As a result, I have the most delightful B cup boobs now, pert upright, and nubile -not a lot of women my age could say that!. As I tip to anyone I use nipple developers (not heavy-duty ones just the little silicon cups you can get from wish or amazon daily as in I leave them on under my bra all day) I have also vacuum-pumped them daily too -hope it helps anyone. I am fascinated that it's said your feet get smaller as I have heard that from other lovely transgender women. For me this has happened 1. my hair gets a lot softer. 2 Not often mentioned but your spacial awareness changes (cis women apparently have ever so slightly larger eye pupils)you have heard the comment women drivers but it's something I have noticed -A good trans friend of mine used to be a bus driver as a transgender woman she has certainly noticed the spacial awareness change. 3. one's boobs do get bigger. 4. One of the nicest changes is the fat and weight redistribution hips larger and a butt to die for -love nothing better than wearing those lovely leggings that have a scrunchy bit at the back and being able to do a sweet girly wiggle as I walk now. 5. I was on spiro which makes you pee a lot but now on Fenestoride 5mg. and Evoril 100 patches = no more erections and very little dribbles out of that thing between my legs but I am starting to experience full-body orgasms now just by playing with my nipples sometimes -what a feeling -cant wait for S.R.S. now. 6. not noticed much change in foot size but that might come. If it helps anyone I have had good results by putting castor oil on my lashes and I also derma roll and rub in minoxi 5 in the little bald patches on my head. One of the lovely things is exploring the world of women's fashion. Don't go crazy like I did, probably bought half of Wish and Amazon lol -just enjoy all the styles and ideas out there -you will soon find your own style. Bless you xxx
