I know it: coming to see me can be, for some of you, a real challenge: “..how do I contact her? What will she think? How will it go? etc.

The testimonials from my clients are also here to reassure you. Of course, if you are not yet comfortable, a text message or a “contact” message can also help you take a step forward. I always respond!

Cindy came to Transbeauté just before the summer holidays. During the session, Cindy was able to find her bearings and even leave feeling fulfilled and… zen!

Travesti en femme avec robe rouge et sandales rouges

The roots of my feminine identity

Can you introduce yourself? Age, gender, family situation, profession, city.

I am an occasional travesti, 48 years old, I am an executive in the public sector, single, and I live in the Lille metropolitan area.

How long have you wanted to feel like a woman, what was the first “signal” of this desire?

It started very young, in elementary school between 8 and 10 years old. I remember a carnival with a little friend dressed as a girl and it moved me.

I borrowed my mother’s things—tights, skirts, shoes, nail polish—and I did it in secret, afraid of being discovered (which never happened).

Between shame and well-being: my intimate journey

It gave me a feeling of well-being and also excitement, and in the end, a feeling of shame and guilt overwhelmed me.

I swore I wouldn’t do it again and I did it again.

Is this desire occasional or permanent?

It’s an occasional desire, sometimes stronger, with moments when I don’t feel it anymore. But it always comes back.

Why this desire, what does it give you?

A feeling of well-being and fullness, but for a long time I also had a feeling of shame, probably due to the strict upbringing I received.

When did you decide to take action, to cross-dress for the first time? For what occasion? What did you feel?

Strangely, it came back quite late, at the age of 34, but I had been browsing sites dedicated to trans and travesti people since the late 1990s.

Fears and challenges: living with my hidden identity

Do you have fears about society, your family, etc… any apprehensions, any discomfort?

Many fears due to a great sense of fear. I am a very anxious person and I’m always afraid of encountering toxic people.

Regarding my family, for now I feel unable to talk to them about it, even though I have tried to talk to them in the past.

And then, my parents are now elderly (over 70 years old) and I don’t want to cause them pain. I know they already struggled to accept my sexual orientation. An orientation that, by the way, is more related to a feminine identity, an identity I have trouble embracing.

Exploration and fulfillment: A new stage?

What are the next steps in your feminization (if any), or desires you haven’t tried yet but would like to?

Ideally, I would like to be able to go out in a supportive environment (maybe the Drôles de dames evenings or les dîners de Charly) but it will be a challenge.

Why did you call on me, and what did I bring you in this stage of your life, if I brought you anything?

I wanted to test my passing with a professional for a long time. And the result delighted me, the photos are incredible, really!

What anecdote can you share after this session? Or how did you feel after this session? What did you do right after our meeting?

The session was too short, I really appreciated your advice and I’m going to try to put it into practice. At the end of my session, I felt fulfilled and zen, I had booked an Airbnb with a friend and we enjoyed our evening—it was really nice!

To be repeated!

Thank you Cindy!

Ladies, and as Cindy reminds us, going out in a supportive environment when you are a travesti woman or transgender is an excellent way to build confidence.

For “beginners” or those who are worried, places and events are reserved for you.

I can even accompany you there by appointment.

So hurry to note it in your calendar, under “Where to go out in Paris when you are travesti or transgender? The Drôle de dames evening on September 9th, 2023 (we’ll talk more about that!) and then the next Dîner de Charly on Friday, October 6th (we will ALSO talk about that!)

In the meantime, check out Cindy’s album!
