Connie – An international ‘trans’ bridge builder - Part 1

One of my many CF (en femme) bucket list of things to do has been a European river cruise as well as stroll around some cities and both, in full-girl mode. So when the opportunity arose to do both at the same time I simply had to arrange it quickly.

Earlier in the year my father was looking at doing some war-graves-type holiday arranged through Great Railway Journeys at York. I wasn’t exactly enthusiastic so suggested that a better and hopefully less tiring trip would be a river cruise. I then sourced through the brochures for a river cruise along most of the navigable parts of the world famous Rhine. The majority of the cruises start in Amsterdam and work south to Basle, but I found the only one with long daylight hours doing the same, but going northbound and with the flow of the river too. So fast forward to Mid May 2016 when the courier phoned to introduce himself. I asked him how open-minded he was and he was positive, so I continued to introduce CF into the conversation by stating that that is ‘his’ “chill pill”, and there is nothing seedy about her; and that female clothing appropriate to the time of day would be worn on a number of days. He was OK with that and having been notified before rather than on the day, was quite happy to wait until departure-day to see pics of CF.

Sat 21st May 2016, Time 04:30, Dad’s house. OMG is that the time! (as the alarm goes off).

CONTEXTUALISING THE CONCEPT PRESENTED
TRANSGENDER BEAUTIFUL presents an overview perspective on the transgender life-experience of self-actualisation beyond the perceivable constraints of the global community. In fact, the distortion and conflict may arise from the historically trained and embedded constraints of the societal definition and identification of what normality is. This is timely subject matter
WEDDING DRESS DREAMS
I think it might be right to say that as a Crossdresser, Transvestite, call us what you might, every girl at some point in her duel life yearns to become a beautiful bride be it just for a short while or in a very few cases the whole day. I myself, know of a couple that both wore beautiful wedding gowns on their special day

Obviously I knew I was ‘different’ when I was at primary school between the ages of 4 or 5. I was kind of aware of conformity i.e. knowing I feel like I should be doing ‘this’, when I knew I was expected to do ‘that’. But try explaining that to a 4-year-old back in 1965 when the ‘cure’ for trans issues was, to be picked up by the shoulders and given a damn good brain-rattling shaking and told to pull yourself together. Thank god for that huh? That really sorted me out. All that made me do was aspire to not let anyone have a grain of knowledge that I was transgendered
A day out at Ascot
The telephone call to my office from my lady friend E was not unusual. The content, however, was. E has minimal interest in sport, and was asking me if I had ever attended a horse racing meeting as a spectator; the answer to which was no. International football, yes, test cricket, yes, formula 1 grand prix, yes, but not horse races
