This is my party and I’ll dress if I want to.

Wouldn’t you dress if this happened to you? This is me getting on with my life…in something pretty of course!

I am an out, proud transgender person (born male, expresses oneself as female) who has always had a personal longing for living as a female. Well over two years ago, I began a routine and ritual of expressing myself as if I were a woman in as many aspects of public life as I could conjure. Imagine daily routines, errands and chores that any person does during the their time off from work and that's what I do in feminine form. At this stage in my development virtually everything I do in my personal time is done this way. Whereas I was once sought the cover of darkness and other safe havens to express this part of who I am, I now embrace daylight and welcome being front and center. After all, doesn't someone that goes through the lengths to beautify  and transform oneself, crave the attention for doing so? Shoes, hair, dress, jewelry and handbags were all meant to be noticed.  This is my effort. Deep. I know!



The extent of my ‘out ness’ varies across the range of people that I know. Without being specific and detailing everything, there are people who know I ‘simply’ dress, seeing what I do as merely a fetish. Then there are those that know I routinely present to the world as if I were a female. You know, the real stuff. Some people know only Antoinette Loren. Some only know Antoinette’s other side. Some know both sides of Antoinette.  An outsider might consider all of this odd, but I consider it as unique opportunity for personal relationships and life experiences. Living in a feminine way, and in particular in female garb has and always will always  be appealing to me. Simple fact is, dresses and heels suit me best. When it comes to self-actualization and personal fulfillment, Antoinette takes center stage now.

Now (as always) continues the process of transforming my daily life routine in furtherance of this longing, this personal preference of sorts to live as if I were a woman. The appeal for femininity for me is too strong to let slip away. While I do not have the means (who does? LOL), opportunity or a total desire to fully transition through the use of hormones or surgery, I do have the wherewithal to transition in other ways. This transition is about a commitment to a more frequent expression of my feminine traits. These traits are my foundation for defining who I am from this point on. This transition is as much about my mind, as it is my body.

My method of achieving greater femininity is to embrace every daily beauty ritual, eating habit and exercise routine that promotes a more feminine appearance. No pain, no gain! I endeavor for a more permanent lady like appearance. My new life is that effort.
