My profession as a professional makeup artist for transgender and crossdressers is very visual. It is, after all, a career of image by definition.
Nevertheless, I am fully aware that the process that drives you to cross the threshold of Transbeauté is, above all, the result of reflection, a deeply personal and often very intimate journey.
My work then consists of “transforming” your reflection and already your projection into an image, thanks to makeup techniques. But not only that.
It’s also a work of listening: to your expectations, and observation: of your personality.
For these reasons, I want to publish a testimony, “without image,” because this is an integral part of the Transbeauté journey and support in the search for expression and revelation of your femininity.
This is X’s story, but it could just as well be yours.
It is a testimony that you can, of course, make your own to comfort yourself, help yourself progress, or discover the multifaceted, especially protean, universe of trans identity or crossdressing.
I am a 48-year-old man, middle manager + without any “wow” effect, living in Île de France, married with children and a cat.
Only missing the little plot of land!
The window display is enticing, but so is the shop and it always reveals wonderful discoveries.
The wording of the question doesn’t correspond to how I experience my femininity, which is not in contradiction with my masculinity. One does not oppose the other but both complement each other to achieve balance.
Sometimes the cursor shifts more to one side but without an aspiration to become someone else or belong to the other gender.
When this need for femininity comes to disrupt the “established order,” it gradually seeps into your personality without you noticing, until the day the evidence becomes undeniable.
There are indeed some circumstances one wants to believe justify “this state”: being raised in a female environment, being regularly called miss until adolescence...
But these justifications serve as poor excuses for a simpler reality: A flaw on the production line J. I think it has been inside me forever.
Over time, the extremes of all or nothing fade to reveal more harmony and acceptance.
This femininity is an integral part of my personality.
In this sense, it has always been permanent since the day I became aware of it and welcomed it.
It’s a way of being, of living; you just have to learn to place the cursor, find your balance point, your fulfillment (it takes some time, the jolts are numerous at the start) with yourself and in relationships with your environment.
Everyone experiences this desire differently, some fleetingly, others with exuberance, still others with minimalism. Whatever the bottle, as long as you have the intoxication!
There is, of course, the pleasure of accessing a universe not socially intended for oneself but in which one feels serene and light: here the delicacy of a material, there the elegance of a posture... the possibilities are so numerous.
But, “this desire,” which is more a way of being, is not reduced to a purely egocentric approach. It is empowered through relationship. A knowing smile, a kind gesture, a word of encouragement, a look inviting you to dare are as many instant or lasting manifestations that nourish confidence and fulfillment... and that help adjust the cursor while avoiding faux pas.
I do not identify with the verb “to crossdress,” which implies concealment to reveal otherwise, nor with “taking action,” which gives the feeling of a sudden break and an exclusively personal initiative.
As I mentioned, this femininity is established; it reveals itself progressively according to one’s own capacity to want/can express it but also depending on encounters and an environment that either favor or hinder this transformation.
The general behavior is therefore this one, even if a circumstance/encounter can strongly shift the cursor.
I clearly remember my first time in a small ladies’ hair salon; it was an extremely kind and intimate moment, delicate, a well-being pause tinged with occasional embarrassment.
None. I do not wish to impose on others (family, friends, work) an unwanted situation. I adjust my behavior in this domain, as in others, to what the Other is able to accept.
What are your next steps in your feminization (if any) or desires you haven’t yet tested but would like?
I do not live my feminization as a video game where you have to pass the next difficulty level, in search of an absolute that will never be fulfilled. The path of feminization matters more to me than seeking a result; I would like it to be more shared, supported, encouraged to allow revealing aspects I have not discovered yet.
Makeup is a fairly structuring component both by the aesthetic and by the moment of complicity it provides. It was a genuine moment of letting go. The shell cracks.
Through Jennifer’s kindness and generosity, the magic happens, she opens perspectives one hadn’t imagined, she inspires daring.
No mockery, no judgment, spontaneity and a — I believe — sincere desire to accompany. Coming from a woman, it’s rare if not improbable. I therefore appreciated it all the more.
I had not imagined a follow-up to this session. I also prefer to let events influence the course of things. The journey is often more interesting than the destination.
I did not dare to assume a more assertive femininity and left, after this moment I would have liked to keep longer, as I came, with a less demonstrative femininity.
Thank you for this testimony!
