Longing to be a Woman

Longing to be a Woman

http://kdcleve.blogspot.com/

I was born Frank Cleve, a genetic male. I existed for 40 years trying to be a man while longing to be a woman. Thanks to the love and support of my wife, Joy, I now live as male and female, without surgery or hormones.
(Some call us transvestites or crossdressers. I prefer “femulator” because I do emulate females.)
On my blog, Longing to be a Woman, I share how, after decades of trial and error, I have learned to integrate femulation into my life. I lived and worked as a woman, in public, without detection for two years in Los Angeles (2000-2002) and I appeared on nationally-syndicated television (not as a femulator but as a real woman, in 2000).
Joy and I are Unitarian Universalists (a most welcoming, supportive church) and I now work through the GLBT subcommittee of our Social Justice Committee to help the public understand ordinary heterosexual femulators like myself. My blog contains advice, narcissism, lots of photos, femininity and facts but no advertising, nudity, links to porn sites or misogyny of any kind. After all, I love women so much I wanted to be one! - Kathryn Diane Cleve

    Joy and I often get into bed and watch a "chick flick" like The Group, based on a book by Mary McCarthy. It's all about women for a change, which is what I love in a movie. Lots of young women who went on to become famous - Jessica Walters, Candace B...

I will review your blog simply because it is different than everything else out in the blogosphere. I tend not to judge others personal decisions and although yours might not be ones I would make for myself, I do feel you are entitled to live your life your way.
