You’ve put a lot of effort into perfecting your feminine image – from outfits and makeup to practicing your voice and body movements.
But today, let’s pause the improvement talk and take a moment to appreciate the progress you’ve already made. Because, seriously, you’re amazing!
What’s your proudest accomplishment on your MTF journey so far?
It could be a major milestone like starting hormone therapy, coming out to a friend, or going out in public as a woman for the first time.
Or it could be a smaller victory, like buying your first lipstick or choosing your feminine name.
Even if you’re just starting out, there’s a lot to celebrate. Acknowledging your true self is a significant step forward!
So let’s hear it! What is your greatest transgender or crossdressing achievement?

P.S. If you liked this article, you will love my FREE Male to Female Transformation Mini Course.
My greatest achievement took place 3 1/2 years ago when I scheduled a meeting with the management at work to inform them that I was in the process of transitioning from male to female. I had given no visible signs that any such transformation was ever in the picture, and I was afraid of all of the potential backlash I might be confronted with, and was nervous right up to the day of the meeting. However, when the day finally arrived, I could hardly contain my excitement, and rather than sneaking into the office section virtually unseen, I opted to enter the front door and walk through the entire facility before reaching the office area.
My hair and makeup were done perfectly, my VS Dress which I had purchased 2 years earlier but had never worn, fit absolutely beautifully that day, (I’m not sure if it would fit as well today), 5″ Stilettos I had been wearing secretly for years prior to this day were a comfortable extension to my legs rather than a potentially dangerous tripping hazard.
There was no laughing, no jeering, no looks of disgust, nothing anything like I had imagined. No one knew my new name yet, but they all knew that I wasn’t the “guy” they had known for the past 2 years!
The fear that I had been dealing with in my head for the past few months had suddenly turned to pride in who I AM, confidence in myself as the woman I had become inwardly and was just minutes away from officially becoming outwardly at the office meeting, but then what was going to happen there was still up in the air. The knock on the door, the GULP in my throat, the turn of the doorknob and that big step into the OFFICE!
OMG! The moment of truth! I sat in the chair in front of the facilities Director’s desk, expecting to hear the negative Company Policy regarding gender transitioning in the workplace. Instead, they took a different approach and asked me more about how and when these feelings began, how they progressed to the point they were at now, what name had I chosen to adopt as my own, would I be following all of the legal channels in a timely fashion or would I still be operating under my male name for a while (for payroll purposes)? The fact that they were still discussing payroll issues and me seemed positive. But then came that whole tone change that usually indicates a negative is on the way, but it wasn’t, as the next question was: How can they help me with my transition? Would I like it announced to staff and, if so, how would I prefer that it be announced?
It was agreed that a formal announcement would be made to coincide with the official court rendered name change and all references to me would be feminine from that day on. Needless to say, the formalities done, there were still more questions after the determination was made, like:
My God! How can you walk in those shoes?
Who did your hair?
Are your nails gelled or just manicured and polished and who did them?
I wasn’t even out of the office yet and I felt like one of the girls!!!!
On the court day when it all became official, congratulations were flying, and I believe there were only 2 who were openly disgusted with what I had done and, of the 2, one has retired and the other has totally changed her attitude toward me.
BOTTOM LINE – I’m Cara now – FULL TIME – and proud of it! I have lots more to do yet, but I have nothing to hide anymore while I’m doing it!
My greatest achievement so far is understanding exactly what the role of a two-spirit/walker between worlds/Transexual is REALLY all about…for those curious to see the world impact I have, just google kate of gaia…hopefully you will begin to see beyond the shoes, the hair, the hrt, nail polish etc and step up to your true roles atop the ancient mtotems all around the world…mwahs and love, kate

Hello;
There are so many things when it comes to think about these, and most are wonderful.
I think one of the best within myself is my first time in public. J had been out before, just walking down the streets, alone. But this time I was at a public place, it was a hotel’s bar. What makes it so excited was that I didn’t plan it, but a friend (tg woman) and I, were sitting at that place full of people. It was the first time almost all eyes in the place were looking at me (us), wearing in such a classy formal style. The waitress were so kind, it was the first time I was treated such a formal tg woman by people I had never meet before. It was a wonderful experience.

My Accomplishments is that I been on hrt since November 1, 2012, it has work wonders for me, softer skin, hair, nails growing faster, curvy, bigger breast, gaining weight at the same place as a woman would, loosing lots of body hair including my chest but not my face, My beard takes longer to grow, feeling more natural, I only dress up in private, Im married which makes it difficult and she doesn’t approve mostly because she’s afraid I get discovered, I only been out in public once 20 years ago all dressed up for a Halloween Party, My landlord picked me up when I was walking to a bus stand and gave me a Ride instead of taking the Bus, I felt great and natural, but nervous wearing a blouse, skirt, pantyhose, bras and makeup, and fake nails, I would have pass as a girl if I had a wig, almost fooled a couple Guys, next time I will be ready once I finish transitioning or at least look like a Woman with or with or without makeup, I plan to get srs and live full time as a Woman
