Thank you for viewing my photos. I am a middle-aged part-time woman (very part-time) who has been dressing up for as long as I can remember. I enjoy going out with friends to restaurants, museums, and the theater. Though I am no longer any kind of beauty, I still find being as feminine as I can to be one of the great joys in life.

My story is pretty typical, not different at all from most hetero crossdressers. I found myself fascinated by girls' things at a very early age, too early even to remember. I didn't start dressing completely until I was in my thirties, a shame that it was so late, but once I started, I didn't look back. I found this strange compulsion was one I could not resist. I gradually got comfortable enough with how I looked to go out of the house and start exploring the world as a woman. There's nothing quite like the thrill (or terror) of stepping out in public as the other gender.

It's funny, I can't really say that I feel completely that I am a woman when I am dressed as one, but I don't feel like a guy in a dress, either. And I am not something in between. I am something different, simply Carolyn.

I like my male life, too, and so I have never been interested in hormones or surgery. It's hard to balance living in two genders, but it certainly gives life an interesting texture. Being this way isn't an easy life, but we can't turn our backs on part of our true nature, can we?

As reflected in my favorites; I admire TGs of any age who strive for a feminine and realistic appearance and who have the courage to venture out in public. I also like those who show a sense of creativity and fun in the way they dress. I love to read other TG girls' profiles, so please include one.

I love hearing from other girls who take an intellectual interest in this phenomenon. It isn't studied much, and so what we learn from each other is the best way to understand what we do.

Just to be clear, I have a partner (female) and am not interested in trying anything with anyone else.

I enjoy looking at other girls' pages on flickr, but a few things are bothersome. First, if you post many photos of yourself in the same outfit but with a slightly varied pose, it means that a viewer (me) is unlikely to wade through all that repetition to see the rest of your photos. Be selective and post your best ones. Second, there are clearly some fakes on flickr: girls who use photoshop or wear masks to create their look. You can tell by them having the exact same expression in every photo. We would love to see the real you. Finally, enough with the AI photos. We would love to see real people. They are much more interesting.
