My journey towards femininity, with all the bumps in the road. Who knows where this road will lead? But it certainly will be a prettier road, and one well worth traveling.

"Dating" as Marian.
This weekend, I met a woman who responded to my "Marian Mode" personal ad. Not half as many women bother to contact me, as most are put off by the idea of a gender non-conforming mate. Given our culture, I can't blame them - we put way too much emphasis on what a person wears, and not enough emphasis on what the person is inside.

It's not easy being a single person who prefers to appear as that of the gender one prefers to date. If my wife had lived, I can only imagine what she would have thought had she seen me in a dress. Sadly, I wasted 5 years on one girlfriend because of this. But I was lucky when I told one woman on our second date, that she knew she couldn't deal with it - and we parted as friends.
This new woman has seen a little bit of everything, and is a transplanted New Yorker who just happens to enjoy life in the Hudson Valley - as I do. However, I know not to count my chickens before they hatch - there are many other reasons why this woman may not find me appropriate dating material. Luckily, my clothing preference wouldn't be an issue with her.
The big question always becomes - how do I break this secret to a woman when she starts to find me interesting enough to see several times? In the case of one woman, several women said that I was the better dresser, and maybe a little prettier as well. Although I could not agree with the latter part of that statement, I can only imagine what this woman would feel seeing me as Marian.
A few weeks ago, I dated another woman who couldn't deal with having a bi-gendered person as a partner. Since she had issues that would take her off of my "dateable" list, we became friends and have seen each other several times since then. Women can deal with a transgendered friend much more than they can deal with that same person (even in the mode they prefer) as a partner. I guess this is where female identity is weakest - they can't imagine why any "man" would ever want to be a woman. And if they can do so, they feel very uncomfortable partnering with someone who feels this way.
Sadly, people like me are "Neither fish nor fowl." But that's OK with me. It takes a special type of confidence to partner with a person like me, and a partner who can do so is worth more than her weight in gold and diamonds.
