[The First Aria]

Bobbi, you have always tried to be a friend, supported my dumb ass and hopefully always were honest in your assessments.  You and Lotus have become very great comrades and friends.  I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Here is where I am at.   My therapist thinks I need to spend more time in female garb, but not to the exclusion of my male personna.  At this point in time I can't.  I have my 4 Grandsons and divorced Daughter living with us.  ( Thank God for a relatively good size home.)

I do not want to scare my G Kids away from me, nor alienate my Daughter or my Wife.  But, at the same time, maybe living on the other side of the fence, as it were, might be cathartic and relaxing time in that I will become better acquainted with "her".  Maybe in this way, since I don't want to go SRS or anything of that nature, I can look forward to being "Aria" even for a week.

My Therapist has suggested that I plan a Weekend as Aria.  Go out of town, w/out wife or anyone that may know me and be apprehensive of Aria.  That seems to make a lot of sense.  It would show me rather or not just to be a "closet woman" or at least give me something to look forward to.

I know a couple of Gurls from here have done so and was wondering what they and everyone else thinks.  My only caveat to doing so, is I want to train my voice as a couple have here before I go out on my own.  I would LOVE to have a Wing Gurl, or at least someone who would understand to come along.  But, everyone I have come into contact seems very stand offish, or a "Trans Nazi" in a way.

What say you???  All replies and or thoughts would be great to see.

Phew, That was a hell of a post.
I have read it several times now and maybe I can offer you my 2 cents. And by the way It pisses me off that the Cent sign no longer exists on keyboards.
Thats neither here nor there.
So First, thank you for putting me in your friend pile. Everything I have ever told you I felt with my heart, so there.
I was thrilled that you had introduced me to Two spirit! That made my life much easier. I can be boy and girl as the wind blows me. Life is wonderful.

I was fearful of what would happen to the two spirits in you when you went on HRT, And I expressed that to you but was over ruled. HRT has calmed you down and cleared up some fears, and really did wonders for your breasts and figure.
Now the therapist wants you to spend more time as Aria! But the boy part of you has real honest concerns about the husband, dad, grand dad, roles he owns.  Good on ya as they say!

On the other hand, I think that a weekend or more in a TG friendly place would be fun. And I am sure you have the strength to say Yeah that was fun, but now its time for the other real world jobs to get done. Just like most vacations are calming, and restful, this could be the same, but just dont forget the other part of the two spirit.
I think that having a wing gurl to do this adventure would make a lot more fun and safer.
I'd love to go but my with my voice we would never order any food or get a room!

In Crossdressers.com there was a thread about someone in the northwest USA that was running a getaway home for TG's. It was like a normal resort except all the guests were trans--something. Meaning CD to TS. I'll see If I can find the thread.

Thats all I got.. at least for the moment, Just dont lose track of the TWO spirit.
Hugs Bobbi.

OK Julie throw your rocks  

That would be great if you could find the thread.  Same here Bobbi.  My voice could litterally get me in deep, DEEP trouble in a Biker's Bar for sure.   LOL....  But, I have found a couple of "DIY" Voice feminization courses.  That plus what a person can pick up on YouTube might be a help.  I had thought about if I truly start doing the voice thing, about up loading a short before and after voice track as well as the usual body shots.  I am just not sure if that is allowed here or not.

Being of Two Spirit did ring a lot of bells with me, and makes a great deal of sense.  Glad I put it up for everyone here to see.  Rather they believe in it or not, for some it could really hit the mark.

Thanks Bobbi, if some of my post helps you and others, then I feel like a very happy Gurl indeed.
