We all have moments of discovery in our lives. One should not fear the discovery, but instead be happy it has been discovered. Regardless of how society is and what is “normal” and what is not – wouldn’t you rather truly know who you are? You’ve got one shot at this, my friend. One life. Do not waste it in fears. LIVE your life to the fullest. BE who you are and be proud to be yourself.

Tessa has chosen to be the person she knows she is meant to be. Her journey may not be the “easy road”, but it will be a much happier life than choosing to live it as a lie instead.

Everyone has a different journey. Once you learn the path you should walk, by all means, WALK it. There is no guarantee of happiness in life, but I can assure you that if you do not follow your path; if you ignore who you are, you will never be happy with yourself. Life’s rewards are far greater when following your own path rather than the path others would choose for you. :)

Tessa, I subscribed to your channel and will keep an eye on it for sure. I am at the beginning of my journey as well….maybe I will start vlogging as well.

@ Erin K – It is a concern to many women when they learn their man is a crossdresser. Most people know so little about the subject. That’s why this follow-up is so important. In many ways, it reflects the differences between a crossdresser and transsexual. More important, it places emphasis on the human factor – regardless of gender, this is about living life as we need to, regardless of how popular “who we are” is (whatever that may be) in the collective eyes of society.

@ Anna – You’re welcome. :) Perhaps the path ahead of you (both) is not an easy one, but more often than not, the best things in life do not come easily. You are both intelligent people who share a deep love for one another. Some people never experience the kind of love and devotion the two of you have found in each other. Regardless of any differences that may exist in your relationship (when compared to the relative “norm”), you’re already well ahead of the game in my opinion. I’m glad you reached out to me this past summer. You have my respect, admiration and best wishes for the future. :)

@ Tessa – You’re welcome. :) And thank you for being so brave as to share this very personal part of your life with the world. As you’ve discovered, not everyone will be so receptive of what you share, but the haters will pale in numbers compared to those who find your offerings very meaningful and helpful in their own lives. I truly love how you’ve chosen to incorporate other aspects of your life in your videos – that’s so important. I hope you’re able to keep the videos going for a long time. Take a note from Michelle, and keep moving forward in life, even if at times you feel weak under the pressure. Follow your dreams, and be who you are – who you’ve always needed to be. My love and respect to both of you! I wish you much happiness and all the best! :)

I too send my best wishes to both Anna and Todd/Tessa.

Thank you for the topic and for the support that you offered.

From my own perspective, I never identified as a crossdresser per se. I went through a period where I was actively crossdressing, but my identity was always transsexual.

The crossdressing was a stage I had to go through to get to where I am now. I certainly stopped at various points along the way to “smell the flowers”, but moving forward was constant and persistent for me. I needed to transition, and I suspect that Tessa did too – it just took her a while to admit it to herself.
