    I doubt very much that I'll get to the last items on your list, but I do want to go wig shopping soon. Bra fitting? I don't have the natural chest for it....

  2. Well, I read the list and did merely half, 11 out of 22, guess I've been "lucky" along my way. I know I was pleased despite all the work!

    Thanks for sharing, Stana.

  4. All but four of them, I was tempted to vote in this last election, perhaps I will in the next Republican primary! ;) I'm not interested in changing my name legally either, I am who I am and always will be and everyone just calls me appropriately either way I'm dressed. I've yet to have a bra fitting, Never saw the need. It's not like I have to carry a lot of weight everyday. 36b and very happy with the amount of cleavage a push up bra and a little tap gives. And with what I used to do for an occupation before I became a domestic goddess would have all my pretties pretty dirty. I did have a few people at work that were on Joanie's friends list and went out a few times with them. They still talk about it and me!

    Everything else is either an everyday occurrence or been there done that and don't need to revisit. I'm one of the lucky ones to have a participatory and supportive wife, who we are each others best girlfriends when we aren't the straight heterosexual couple down the street with 2 dogs and a white picket fence.

    Oh and Helena Mac is awesomely gender friendly, go for it, you won't regret a moment.. well till the credit card bill comes! ;)

  7. Everything up to voting. And other than that, I'm not interested. And voting would be difficult ~ I know pretty much EVERYONE working in the polling place.

    It wasn't on your list, but I hope to attend an adult ed class as Meg.

  8. Back when I was single, I wanted nothing more than a femulator for a wife.

  9. This is my first comment on Stana's excellent website. Stana, you're awesome! I wish I had found out about you earlier. This place is like a gold mind with treasure waiting to be discovered! Looking at your list, I think I can check off a few of them.
    ✓ Drive your vehicle
    ✓ Joining a trans support group and attend their meetings
    ✓ Somebody refers to you as "she" or "her."
    ✓ Somebody addresses you as "Ma'am" or even better, "Miss."
    ✓ Go shopping (at a mall).
    ✓ Dine at a restaurant.
    ✓ Get a makeover.
    ✓ Shop for a wig at a brick and mortar wig store.
    ✓ Get fitted for a bra at department store.
    ✓ Use public transportation.
    ✓ Attend a religious service.
    ✓ Use the women's dressing room to try on clothing.
    ✓ Use the ladies' restroom.
    ✓ Go to work en femme on Halloween (sort of...LONG story though)
    ✓ Go out on a date (with a man too!)
    ✓ Kiss.
    ✓ Live full-time as a woman (many years ago, for a time)

    As for the things that I didn't check off, I think "having sex as a woman" seemed to be a bit wild, although it has always been a tempting idea. I suppose being intimate with someone as a woman can be perfectly natural, but I always feel that the mechanics of having sex is a bit tricky....
