Chantal: embracing cross-dressing and flourishing in femininity

At Transbeauté, we warmly welcome all individuals who crossdress and seek a safe space to fully express themselves.

We value and accept each person, thereby creating a warm and inclusive environment.

Today, we present to you the very personal testimony of Chantal, a courageous woman who shares with us her experience of transformation and self-discovery.

Chantal stands gracefully in front of a majestic golden mirror, her reflection adding a dimension of beauty and grace. Dressed in a pink lace blouse and a black skirt, her silver-gray hair falls in delicate waves over her shoulders. The luxurious ambiance of the room, with its illuminated mirrors and green velvet chairs, amplifies the aura of sophistication and confidence she exudes. With her hands on her hips, she embodies assurance and timeless charm

Discovering Crossdressing at a Young Age

Can you introduce yourself? Age, gender…

Hello girls,

My name is Chantal, I’m 56 years old.
I have been crossdressing since about the age of ten without really knowing it, by sneaking my mother’s things (dress and sandals) on Wednesday afternoons when I came back from school.
After school, I learned a trade and so no more Wednesday afternoons at home until the day I found myself alone in my parents’ house.
There, I was able to crossdress, but not before I was 23, when we received a La Redoute catalog in the mailbox and I could order by mail since I didn’t have internet at that time.

Growth and Fulfillment

How long have you wanted to feel like a woman?

From my thirties to my forties, I crossdressed the most, almost every weekend during a six-month period between autumn and winter each year.
Because in spring and summer, the owner would come back from the tropical islands.
Then, I met someone with whom we had a child that we raised together.
Since our separation, it’s only this week that I started crossdressing again, and I will continue until next weekend.
I hope to find an apartment quickly to flourish again and more easily.

Family situation.

As for my family situation, I am single again, separated from my partner, but I would like to find a connection preferably with a woman.
I live in Seine-et-Marne very close to Euro Disney, and as for my profession, it’s a physical job mainly filled with men.
I won’t say more.

The Pleasure of Femininity and Well-being by Becoming Chantal

Is it a temporary desire? Permanent? Why this desire? What does it give you?

The desire to crossdress is permanent.
I don’t understand women who feel good in jeans and sneakers, for me it’s the opposite: wearing a skirt, stockings, and heels is a constant pleasure, not forgetting breast prostheses and bras.

I would have liked to be born a girl but that’s not the case.
Maybe that’s why this desire to crossdress is permanent.

Right now, I’m writing to you in a skirt suit and 12 cm heels on my feet.

What this desire gives me

Well-being, the desire to be, joy, happiness.

Fears and Social Concerns

Do you have fears about society? Your family?

I do have fears about society, fear of encountering malicious people for example.

But that doesn’t stop me from going out at night, although being accompanied by a man would be more reassuring.

What would bother me the most is my family finding out.

Learning Makeup with Jennifer

Why did you call on Jennifer and what did she bring you?

I called on you, Jennifer, because you are a person outside my circle, so it’s easier to let go.

I needed to learn how to do makeup, but you don’t learn to do makeup in two hours; at least we have the basics, it’s up to us to follow them.

And without knowing it, you brought me a desire for well-being and self-confidence.
My fear was to go out in broad daylight in the street, yet I had to do it in front of your place.

Getting out of the car as a man with a suitcase full of clothes and leaving as a woman in a skirt and blazer, nylon stockings and heels with the same suitcase in hand, getting back in the same car: don’t your neighbors start to suspect anything by now?

Anecdotes and Memorable Moments

What anecdote can you share about this session?

I had a pleasant time with you, Jennifer, too short for my taste to learn makeup.

It’s not obvious to learn the right gestures in two hours especially when you’ve been doing the wrong ones for ten years.

I regret that we didn’t have time to take the photos I hoped for because of lack of time.

And yes, three hours go very fast.
But we did a wig fitting that wasn’t really planned, but it was with the intention of buying one from you (as for the copper one, I think I will come back at the beginning of June to buy it).

I would have liked photos with other seated or standing poses, maybe even outdoors why not.

First Experiences and Lightness as Chantal in Public

How did you feel after this session?

I felt light, like on a cloud with real makeup and dressed, super comfortable, relaxed despite my 12 cm heels, and complimented on my outfit by our professional makeup artist.

What did you do after our meeting?

When I stepped out your door, I felt important, like a businesswoman with my suitcase in one hand and my little handbag in the other.

Then I loaded the suitcase into my car, the first time I drove with high heels in this car.

I got used to it very quickly, what a pleasant feeling to feel the fresh air from the ventilation passing between my thighs.

I drove until nightfall, then stopped at a parking lot, got out of my car and did some window shopping as a woman, in the most natural way.

Then, I went through the KFC drive-thru because I was a little hungry, but the cashier seemed puzzled by the difference between my voice and my appearance.

After eating, I went for a walk in town for another good two hours.
That’s it for this memorable day.
However, next time, because I will probably repeat the session to learn makeup, two hours is too short and I think I didn’t retain everything, but it will be with my own makeup products.

My Jennifer, I’ll see you very soon to renew the makeup session and why not consider going out together with you and/or other friends.

Kisses to you, Chantal.

The Final Word from Jennifer

Thank you so much, Chantal, for this moving and inspiring testimony.

Your first session was a true discovery of yourself as a woman, and we warmly encourage you to continue this beautiful journey.

A second session, after the emotion of seeing you transformed, will help you gain autonomy and confidence. I look forward to seeing you again and supporting you in this magnificent experience.

Kisses to you,

Jennifer
