STEPS TO COMING OUT by Rikki Radoula |
1. STEPS TO COMING OUT (part 2) - Finding the woman inside by Rikki Radoula
The first time I went out dressed, I was in my early 20’s – that was the early seventies when the male dress code was much more trannie anyway and I was just over 10 stone, size 12-14, had shoulder length hair and my wife helped me a little with my make up – that all stopped when our first child arrived.
But I had an advantage then that I did not really appreciate until I finally came right out a couple of years ago – I had been trained in acting – That gave me some experience in make up, but it enable me to overcome the main reason most Trannies are read – Deportment.
My drama teacher once said – How to you act drunk? We all answered –“ You stagger”. “Wrong”, he said, “Drunks do not try to stagger, they try not to stagger. They try to walk normally and look sober, but fail”.
Why is that lesson important – well I have seen so many trannies who get the looks great, stunning make-up fabulous clothes – and a walk like John Wayne. It attracts ridicule. Look at Ru Paul – 6 ft 7 inches – by any standards a big man – but on stage – absolute femininity – even when on stage with very feminine women.
The trick is not to act in a feminine manner – but to BE FEMININE – from the inside out. You have a woman inside you – in your mind. When you were in the womb, you missed out on an important wash of testosterone and as a result your gender, you inner sense of self, developed along the default path – female –
Since then everyone around you has been conditioning you as male and any effeminate gesture has attracted derision. So now you need to let that woman be free.
Become much more aware of the way women act. – watch the way they walk, talk and move. Watch them pick up a drink, cutlery, clothes and their handbags. Start to become much more observant about women – what they wear and how they do their makeup. Read their magazines, listen to them talking, notice the words they use, their grammar, their diction and most importantly their body language and gestures.
This is important for three reasons
1. Women are more observant than men and training yourself to be more observant will start to stimulate the woman inside of you, you will start to feel her taking over and becoming stronger.
2. The world of women is a completely different universe to the world of men – and you need to start seeing the world the way she sees it – you need to be in a woman’s world to feel feminine.
3. Observing women’s behaviour changes your view of yourself, it’s how you would have done it if you had been allowed to grow up as a little girl – you will find yourself thinking about it when you are alone – you will start to dream and see yourself moving in your mind, doing things in a feminine way – she will start to become a part of you.
If you followed my advice in the last issue of the Tranny Tribune – you are already taking more care of yourself – cleansing and personal hygiene are easy habits to change. But what about your weight? Women are obsessed with this. Men seem to think that being 16 stone with a 45 inch waist is handsome. It’s not, it’s gross, and weight on a man goes on in all the wrong places – so get it off.
The best way to do this is to join weight watchers. Why? Because it’s what women do – go along to a meeting – it’ll be almost all women but men are welcome and there you can practice your awareness skills – start talking to women about what they eat – start learning to cook some of your own low fat foods. I love going along and just being “one of the girls” – and they are all getting used to the changes in me now.
It’s all part of the process of finding the woman inside you – once you find her – and start to become comfortable with her – crossing the gender divide will become much easier and more rewarding.
Finally you can start to gently allow yourself to walk and move like a woman – not by acting like a woman, but by just feeling feminine and allowing yourself to move in a feminine way.
Remember as a woman – you are less competitive, less assertive, less pushy – at the same time you expect to have doors opened for you, you expect to go first – Feels bad mannered at first but let your woman out.
As you walk along the street – be aware of the difference in your walk – you don’t have a woman’s hips – but women walk from the hip, rather than the knee and take shorter steps. Imagine you are a woman and start to experience the joy in a walk along the high street, pausing to look in shop windows. Look at the clothes that might suit you, wander in and have a quick look – it’s OK for men to look at women’s clothes.
If you have the courage, start using a male shoulder bag. I did for years, till I gave up and just used handbags instead - now I never go anywhere without some kind of bag – I can’t stand pockets full of wallets and pens and diaries.
Everything I have outlined here you can do as a man to become more feminine – without looking effeminate. You need to find the woman inside you. She is a gentle, vulnerable, caring and loving creature who needs nurturing. Experience that feminine joy and you will soon be much more comfortable out.
