This is a light hearted summer post, inspired by Emily Hartridge's 10 reasons why...she talked about marriage and other things.

So here are my ten reasons...some serious ...some not so serious.

1. You get to wear a bra and panties

2. You can sing "I'm a lumberjack......." without wearing a plaid shirt

3. You can buy shoes with heels

4. Lola is your best friend

5. When you are "en femme" you look like your mum or sis

6. You can wear skirts as short as you like...even if you look daft

7. You get to wear stockings instead of looking at them

8. You will never ask....does my bum look too big in this

9. You become an expert on gender re-assignment surgery

10. You find Transtastic

I am sure lots of you have other reasons, and most of them will be more pertinent or amusing than mine.

Lets hope the sun comes out this month in the UK.

You forgot that you can spend hours looking at make up in Boots and having great conversations with the assistants...

Or having a lovely time having your nails done (even when drab). Must thinks about having a pedicure someday.

Nice one Pauline.

For me its meeting lots of interesting people
Plus I get to have hair again!!

Thanks for the suggestion Pauline, I'm with Suzy on the "Hair" and to have like minded friends x

The swish of a skirt, what to wear, blond or dark hair, what dress to wear, I am dressing in pink, yellow, red, leather or jean skirk, stockings or tights, these are just some of the reasons that I love being a tranny xxx

I forgot No 11.....

You can cry during a movie...like "Message in a bottle" or when you listen to a song like "Thats what friends are for" .....without feeling at all embarrassed xxxx

The film I have enjoyed most and cried through in "The Exoitic Hotel Marigold". Did it again when watching the DVD and knew it was coming.....

you can cry when you hear sad songs . like puff the magic dragon

i agree jady about the swish of a dress it feels sooooooooooo good

Number 12: You can wear fifty shades of grey and live a life fifty shades darker. Others can only dream of what might have been.

ha ha ha aw you will do soon jady lol that reminds me i have some pics to put up xxxxxx

Wow Pauline when you post some thing it dose get some interest, great forum. xxxx

Great forum again xxxx Number 5 made me feel a little ill but otherwise spot on I'd substitute it with 'When I look in the mirror I see me'

Not sure about 8 - you still ask!!! otherwise great list Pauline! xxx

It is also the feeling of being feminine without offending or upsetting anyone (tough if it does anyway), to wear clothes that make you feel happy and confident about yourself, looking good even if it is for yourself, even better if its for your admirers (by the hundreds) and when you get asked by women about where you bought a certain item while out at a bar etc, or how you do your make up etc makes you feel you have done a damn good job or presentation of yourself as a woman, and to me that goes a very long way in building up confidence.

Really good topic and Samantha I agree 100%

you can cross your legs in a pub and make a man trip over cos he not looking where he's going

talk with female friends about make-up remover as an expert

make genuine wisecracks about Cheryl's dress- sense

fell the cool night air on your thighs as you leave a club and get hooted by a passing taxi driver

Explain to the young policeman that he must show you respect

you mentally map dresses out of fashion magazines onto your own triangle shape and wonder quietly under breath....gorgeous...but will it work on me!

That sudden rush that comes when you know a guy across the room fancies you!

lovely Pauline!! thank you! XXXXX

You can go to a dinner party with guys (yes real ones) who have been friends in your drab life and find that they are trying to look up your skirt! And all because they wanted to know if they were tights or stockings, yeah.
