Feeling particularly beautiful today…
Happy Monday!
Have I mentioned how much I love wearing lipstick? Of all the things I do to feel feminine, this is hands down the most potent. When I am not wearing lipstick, I miss it in a visceral way.
All the thought and attention I am paying to my feminine look is inspiring the women close to me to be more thoughtful about their appearance too. I’ve seen this in my wife, and in a friend, who told me last night that she now thinks more carefully about her look when she knows she will see me.
As I spend more time openly presenting in a feminine way, I realize that it is exactly that. Adopting and adapting feminine signals to my body. It’s perhaps less about wanting to be a woman, as it is about claiming the right to present my masculine body femininely if that aligns better with how i feel.
… it’s hard to express this as fully as i feel it, but i love my feminine self… i love wearing feminine clothes… i love wearing jewelry… i love wearing lipstick… i love the way all of it makes me feel…
I have been struggling with writing any kind of long form post about my journey into trans-feminine space. So, instead, I will focus on micro posts. Maybe they will build into something.
