And, this is just so much more profound an example of that.<br /><br />One thing that really hit me about the photos, I must say, is that you don't look the slightest bit like you're in a costume.<br /><br />BTW Happy Holidays, my dear.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-21503454053105595012011-12-15T12:02:26.563-05:002011-12-15T12:02:26.563-05:00Wonderful story

Congratulations on your successful qu...Dear Stana,<br /><br />Congratulations on your successful quest! You look lovely in the yearbook photos. What a fun (and also emotional) day you had. Like you, and many T-Girls, I purged a couple of times (the last time being about 25 to 30 years ago). I'm happy I finally accepted my need to crossdress. I will enjoy my femme side (along with my guy side) for the rest of my life<br /> <br />Love,<br /> <br />Sheila.Sheila from Tampahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230335934380274993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-5237035431151456522011-12-15T04:45:48.907-05:002011-12-15T04:45:48.907-05:00Stana, I loved reading this story for so many reas...Stana, I loved reading this story for so many reasons.<br /><br />What a great thing it is to find a piece of your past like this, especially when you thought it had been lost. <br /><br />I also like the library guard's remark. I don't think a guard would have said something like this even 10 years ago. Things are changing, very slowly, but more "civilians" are seeing us as people. That's a good thing.<br /><br />I understand your feeling how remembering yourself as being so young. I wish I had the pictures I took when I was 25. Although my look was not at all polished, being 25 and slender made up for my lack of skill with clothes and makeup. I wish I knew then about how many of us were around and wish I would have been able to meet and know other girls.Linda Marie Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235079239322819082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-57137733294225408682011-12-14T22:48:13.106-05:002011-12-14T22:48:13.106-05:00Stana,
