Inspired by the classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, Paul is visited by a series of extraordinary figures from history: Chevalier d'Éon, Christine Jorgensen and Marsha P. Johnson. Through these encounters, Paul begins to understand himself and the world around him in a new light.
I hope this story brings you joy, wonder and a deeper understanding of the power of self-discovery.

That's a sweet story, but not all of us can live it. I share a lot of desires that Paul and John had. Often I dressed up as a girl when I was young. Often when I see a photo of a beautiful crossdresser or someone on Tv all dolled up I think, "if I looked like that I'd live my life as a beautiful woman. Sometimes I wish I could magically turn into a girl.
ReplyDeleteThe reality is that no matter how much effort I put into femulating I still look like a man in a dress. I don't want to feel humiliated nor do I want to foist myself onto people with that image.
Whoever can live that life, that's great for her. It's simply not my reality no matter how much I wish it were.
Happy Holidays everyone.

I understand completely and I believe many of us share similar thoughts and feelings. I am 6'1" tall and was 270 lbs at one time, I lost weight and worked on my feminine appearance was able to go out and about as a woman. In the end it was the work, the evolution, the journey that gave me joy--Paula G
DeleteEmily dear, Paula is right and we all face challenges. All I saw was a fellow in a frock for years myself. It took time to learn how to use hair styles to down play masculine facial features, find clothing that hid things and gave me a more feminine profile, etc.
DeleteIf your only inhibition is you love, consider a consult with a dressing service. They can do a great job of feminizing your appearance and can give objective feedback. Don't give up!

Paula, this is such a fabulous and well thought out story dear! Is it a dream? Was it ghosts? It creates such vivid detail, yet lets the reader's imagination mould it to their own beliefs and experiences as well. This should get published and become an annual Christmas bedtime story in all femulating households! : )
DeleteFor me, it evoked memories of my own grandmother, who actually would give me nightgowns as gifts when I was young. She was a very warm and accepting lady who I dearly miss.
