Revealing the astonishing double face of Duelle

Our world is shaped by binaries, dichotomies that often do not reflect the complexity of the human experience.

This is especially true when it comes to gender identity.

But what happens when a person transcends these preconceived limits and harmoniously embodies both genders at once?

Duelle’s story is that of such a soul, who has courageously chosen to express and embrace two spirits coexisting within iel.

It is with great pride that I share with you this testimony which perfectly illustrates the raison d’être of Transbeauté: helping everyone discover, understand, and celebrate their true essence.

Who is… Duelle?

I have called myself different names according to my transformations; for now, I am Duelle for you, I am in my sixties, male gender, with nuances, married. I work in the medical field. I have my woman’s life in the Grand Est.

Origin of her femininity

I have carried my femininity for as long as I can remember. There wasn’t a sign, but an obviousness. Since my early youth, I have been saddened not to have been born a girl. So I am a man when I must be and a woman when I can be.
I am actually a “two-spirit,” knowing the gender codes in both states.

A constant need for femininity

Living my femininity is a need; I live it as naturally as possible. Only when I can, but the woman in me is always present.

Exploration of identity

For a long time, I wore women’s underwear, but it was unsatisfying. One day I decided to truly explore my femininity to overcome my distress. I felt that this was how I was, and especially to get closer to an ordinary woman’s life in my outings and hobbies.

First steps towards crossdressing

“To live happily, live hidden,” says the proverb. In any case, I made it mine.
I started like many, by sneaking things from my mother during adolescence. It was much later that I decided to perfect my appearance, out of desire.

Living her femininity in secret

I only live my woman’s life elsewhere, far from home and neighbors, etc. I leave as a man and return as a man. Otherwise, I feel comfortable in my public outings as a woman.

Reflections on transition and future desires

I questioned early on the possibility of a transition and a sexual reassignment journey. So after reflection, I decided to remain as nature made me, and to juggle between two lives. I have reached a level of autonomy allowing me to go out during the day alone or accompanied by a fellow sister or a friend.

The desires I haven’t tested yet are inclinations toward femininity not of everyday life, but more sexy, or in appearance involving materials more reserved for private outings, latex, leather, etc. However, I lack advisors or store addresses to fulfill these desires.

Calling on a professional: Jennifer from Transbeauté

I didn’t have anyone in this region of France to beautify me. As I come here sometimes, and on the advice of a fellow sister, I decided to call on you. I immediately felt comfortable, and the result was superb.

A new step toward acceptance

After leaving this session, I went to stock up at a busy hypermarket gas station—a great exercise to see how I’m perceived before going further. Then I went to visit this lovely town of Provins, although only a little because given our late appointment, night fell rather quickly.

Thank you, Duelle!

Duelle’s journey highlights the fluid and dynamic existence of gender and how a person can find balance in this duality.

It is a vibrant reminder that beauty manifests in many ways, defying traditional frameworks. With, and especially thanks to Transbeauté, I love to witness this diversity, recognizing the importance of each individual journey toward self-acceptance.

The richness of Duelle, living with these two spirits, is an ode to all those who seek to express themselves freely, to all those who show courage by revealing their true face to the world.

In this quest, remember: beauty has no gender and every person is a unique mosaic of experiences, emotions, and traits that deserves to be celebrated.
