back dressin' after way too long. . . and diggin' it

[claired]

Hello all;
I am Claire. I am currently rejoicing in the very welcome return of blossuming TG sensations. I have been 'dressing for my entire life, but found that my passions waxed and waned, depending on sometimes mysterious reasons.
All I know is that I'M BACK!! and I'm LOVING it!!.
I have found in the past, that when the circle comes around and I am again celebrating myself en femme, that my self-definition, and level of TG involvement progresses forward past another landmark.
I am now very comfortable identifying myself as transgendered, and am making serious plans to take my life to another level. Perhaps living en femme full time? I am surprised at how firm my resolve seems to be, to "out" myself as TG to several of the people at work, tomorrow (9/4/12).
This will be an enormous step, (and is still scary as hell), but being out will make life so much easier, allowing an explanation for an increasing series of changes that will be occurring. Long, clear polished nails, bilateral earrings, electrolosis, and surgery (of the nose, not the uh.. you know).
Getting feedback from the ladies will be terrific as well, although I think it will be some time before I show up at work in a dress.
Back in the day, I was able to pass, although I did not gain a whole lot of public experience. This time I know a lot more, and although I won't be a beauty (despite fervent wishes and prayers in younger days) I won't be a woman that will draws odd looks either. I am working on photos and hope to post some soon.
In previous incarnations I was Christie Lea, of Newport, RI, and Boston, Albuquerque, and Farmington,NM. I would love to hear from any and all.
love, en femme
