And Fashintern why would jeans be hard to wear for me? Just wondering. And yea this dress is not meant for winter lmao but it’s ok for inside my house lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4/page/2#post-1983172 Sun, 16 Dec 2018 15:48:07 +0000 cindysmith 1983172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do you! I've found that this forum is welcoming to everyone, regardless of gender or style persona. They have been very cool about some of my weirder dystopian choices.<br /> And socially acceptable is overrated. If we didn't have people bucking the socially acceptable order, then there would be no YLF because all of us would be dressed like Laura Ingles or any Amish woman, or maybe even the handmaid's or something </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4/page/2#post-1983167 Sun, 16 Dec 2018 15:38:05 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1983167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, that does not look like the dress for winter in Michigan, lol! Angie has done several posts over the last few weeks (months?) about boots with sweater dresses, midis, etc. You might want to browse back for some ideas. Also, every Friday she posts outfit ideas that a lot of people here take as sort of a challenge to try to do themselves. </p> <p>I know nothing about this, but think jeans might be one of the harder things for you to wear, Ms Molly. Bootcuts might be your best bet there. But if that contradicts what anyone who knows anything says, go with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4/page/2#post-1983165 Sun, 16 Dec 2018 15:37:27 +0000 Style Fan 1983165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makes a lot of sense.&nbsp; Wonderful opportunity for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4/page/2#post-1983159 Sun, 16 Dec 2018 15:33:04 +0000 Molly 1983159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It feels amazing and it feels normal and comfortable if that makes sense? I need to get more clothes tho, like actual not just dresses lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4#post-1983156 Sun, 16 Dec 2018 15:32:12 +0000 Molly 1983156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure if I’m cute lol but thank you Fashintern!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4#post-1983155 Sun, 16 Dec 2018 15:31:25 +0000 Molly 1983155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m learning that it’s very worth it. I had no idea that doing this drag show would lead me down this road but I’m glad it’s heloed me to begin to discover who I really am. And I know it’s going to be a bumpy road but hey, one of the pros to it is that women’s clothes is WAY more fun than men’s lol so woohoo! Lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4#post-1983154 Sun, 16 Dec 2018 15:31:23 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1983154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweet!

I’m spending the entire day as a femal today to see how it all feels etc </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4#post-1983004 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 23:15:29 +0000 Style Fan 1983004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a very supportive group.&nbsp; As others have said all kinds of life issues get discussed. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4#post-1982992 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 22:42:26 +0000 Helena 1982992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Patrick, welcome and I echo all the sentiments above ... Be true to who you are, embrace your journey, and love yourself regardless of what anyone else thinks. Easier said than done, I know - but the only path worth taking. Hugs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4#post-1982929 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 17:24:22 +0000 Molly 1982929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is scary and very exhilarating for sure! I was thinking maybe Molly for my name? My middle name is Murphy so I kinda like Molly Murphy. And it would be a name to sort of blend in is what I’m hoping. And that’s awesome that you were born here! Truth be told I’m also a buckeye fan! My dad is from Ohio, so kinda got brain washed on the buckeyes even tho I goto Michigan, needless to say I am torn lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4#post-1982925 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 17:00:50 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1982925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ann Arbor? I was born in Detroit! Then we moved and I grew up as a Buckeye. But I won’t have you for being from Big Blue, because then I’d have to hate Baby Me too. </p> <p>Do you want your name to help you fit in and “pass” as female, or do you want it to call a little bit of attention to yourself? These might get you started.<br /> Charity<br /> Delta (means change)<br /> Delta Dawn/Dawn<br /> An homage to your mother (as long as other family members aren’t angered)<br /> Ann (might make more sense here than irl where everyone lives in a city named Ann).<br /> Usually when people pick out names, it’s for a baby who we don’t even know yet—you’re lucky that you already know yourself, though you might want to get to know the “new you” a bit before settling on a name. </p> <p>I’m sure all this change is a little scary. I hope it’s the exhilarating kind of scary! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4#post-1982910 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 15:43:48 +0000 Sharon S 1982910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pat, I abide by “be true to yourself “ it isn’t always easy but in the end it’s what will make you and your life the happiest and you will be at peace. Good luck with the show! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4#post-1982902 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 15:13:04 +0000 Molly 1982902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks gryffin! And fashintern yea I live in Ann Arbor mi, so it’s a pretty big college town. I agree I need to find a support group around here, and yea I want more separation from Patrick lol. As far as talking about her in third person, if I’m honest I probably will come to see her as at least part of me or as me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4#post-1982898 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 15:06:30 +0000 gryffin 1982898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Patrick - you are incredibly brave.&nbsp; The hardest thing you will ever do is to be yourself.&nbsp; But it's really the only journey that really counts.&nbsp; As others have said more eloquently, everyone has their rough patches but there are so many incredibly supportive people here to support you on your exploration.&nbsp; Kudos, good luck, and wishing you every happiness as you explore this side of who you are!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4#post-1982892 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 14:47:28 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1982892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Um, “Pat/Patricia” seems obvious, but maybe you need more separation from Patrick. Right now you’re talking about “her” in third person—do you think you’ll come to see her as you, or as part of you? </p> <p> Btw, are you in a big enough city to have meet-ups or other groups for women who have had similar experiences? I doubt you want to set your old friends aside, but it might be nice to make more friends with people who “get it”. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4#post-1982885 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 14:38:21 +0000 Molly 1982885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie and thank you everyone. I’m seriously overwhelmed with all the support. You gals have been awesome! Side note, I need a feminine name! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4#post-1982883 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 14:36:33 +0000 Angie 1982883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Patrick. I echo the wise ladies on our forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4#post-1982876 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 14:26:39 +0000 Molly 1982876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Janet!!! I just honestly if I admit it to myself, I see me only expanding on this. I know having to do the drag show was not something I would have volunteered for but now that I’ve gotten into it, it’s like this side of me has burst out that I didn’t even know was there and She wants to be recognized </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4#post-1982871 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 14:19:59 +0000 Janet 1982871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Echo. I'm glad you felt comfortable enough to explore this with this forum. There is nothing wrong with enjoying your experience! We are lucky to live in a time when some of the old narrow-minded attitudes around gender representation are breaking down. I say rock on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4#post-1982870 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 14:19:28 +0000 Molly 1982870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*hugs you all* I hope I am welcome at YLF permanently!

I’m literally sitting here having just read all the responses and I’m crying. And all of you are right, I shouldn’t be afraid of this and I should embrace it and if that leads me to having an outward Feminine side than who cares and I should be proud of who I become </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-4#post-1982858 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 13:46:35 +0000 April 1982858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Patrick, keep us posted as your feelings about this self-discovery evolve.&nbsp; As others have said, on the whole you'll find the YLFers a supportive group. </p>
