The testimony of Hélène in complete transparency

Hélène arrived very smiling and seemed confident despite warnings that she had many apprehensions about “exposing herself” before a stranger…
Yet everything went very well as always, you will see her experience in her own words.

Can you introduce yourself? age, gender, family situation, profession, city

Fifty-nine years old recently, male, married for twenty-five years and very much in love with my wife, I have never had children (fortunately she had a daughter). After holding several managerial positions in industry, I retrained as a plumber which makes me feel like I’m truly doing something for people, even if most don't even realize that I am honest and conscientious...

I own my own company because I couldn’t stand having a boss anymore, whoever it was, and I live in the countryside to have peace, I manage my time and therefore my profit as I want, prioritizing my life rather than money...

My name is Jean-François to the whole world and I am Hélène intermittently.

How long have you wanted to feel more like a woman?

I am a man relatively well adapted to his male condition, but I have always hated the macho, virile, dominant male confident in himself.
Without being fragile, I am still completely out of sync with most “guys” and have always felt different, this gentle, shy, dreamy side, this frustration of being stuck with rough clothes, hair everywhere, this desire for fine lingerie, delicate attentions.
So basically I have wanted to be a woman forever.

Is this a temporary or permanent desire?

It’s a very occasional desire but permanently in a corner of my mind.
Sometimes months go by without anything, and then the desire to dress as a woman comes back, sometimes very strong, as it was recently when for the first time I bought shoes (size 46!), got my legs waxed, then looked into how to do makeup, transcend myself, I really wanted to know if I could look like a woman.

Why this desire, what does it bring you?

There is a double facet: the side “I would have loved to be a delicate, groomed, graceful woman” and the side “when I crossdress I am younger, a man-eater, I own an aggressive femininity, I wear ultra-sexy lingerie, I feel beautiful and desirable”.
Curiously, as soon as I put on some feminine touches I immediately feel relaxed, calm, happier.
Since meeting Jennifer I have seen a woman in the mirror, and I like her terribly.

I will never live full-time as a woman, but I would like to spend more time in Hélène’s body and mind.

When did you decide to take action, i.e., to crossdress for the first time? For what occasion? What did you feel?

The first time was when I was twelve, I put on one of my mother’s tweed skirts and her fawn leather heeled boots, I managed to take a few steps, admired myself in a mirror before taking it all off.
Later I tried a cousin’s lingerie (not the one I was in love with, another), the sensation was delicious!
Throughout my life and with various girlfriends, I kept sometimes trying their lingerie, same with my wife since I was the one buying her sets...

Sometimes I took advantage of her absence to crossdress for a whole day but without accessories, no wig, shoes, makeup which was frustrating, now I have everything needed and honestly I love it! Oh yes, silicone breasts are a pure wonder, high heels are super sexy, and stockings on waxed legs...

Do you have fears regarding society, your family etc... apprehensions, any embarrassment?

Of course I do have fears, a little cousin by marriage was unlucky to be caught red-handed trying on his wife’s lingerie and the whole family’s reaction was unanimous and violent, they would have better accepted a classic adultery...

Clearly my desire must remain secret if I want to preserve my relationship.

As for the rest of the world, I’m a plumber, which does not go well with crossdressing...

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

Nothing in particular, I’m not considering a radical transformation, I would be happy if I can put to use what I’ve learned about makeup and find some nice dresses, but the show will probably remain private, yet I would love and at the same time dread being seen as a woman, to see how I’m perceived, but at one meter eighty-seven plus ten-centimeter heels, it’s hard to remain credible and discreet… The ultimate test would be to post a photo on Meetic...
I should say I often wear Dim up under my jeans.

Why did you come to me, and what have I brought you in this stage of your life, if I brought you anything?

Ah the Luck factor! Typing “makeup lessons”, “crossdresser” on the internet, I came across “Jennifer Persévérante”, and I first saw Jennifer’s gaze and smile!
Even before reading the various testimonials, it was this smile that made me take the step, funny isn’t it?
That impression that I could trust her, that she wouldn’t judge me.

Jennifer is the first person I talked to about my desire for feminization and I guarantee that I’m super, super shy and reserved!
The scariest moment of my life was just after clicking the “send” button to make contact, and everything happened very quickly, appointment ten days after contact, luckily I didn’t have time to think or change my mind.

Five minutes! That’s about the time between my arrival and when Jennifer told me to dress as a woman, thirty seconds of embarrassment then suddenly I felt comfortable, I forgot all apprehension and those minutes will remain precious during the makeup lesson, but it’s complicated to be a sophisticated woman, I feel like I have big clumsy fingers, I will have to practice seriously.

Trying on the wig, first look in the mirror and I see myself made up, prepared, the absolute shock! What I could have been if … My eyes fill with tears.

Jennifer leaves me alone for a few minutes during which I admire myself.
It’s an incredible emotion, those precious seconds fulfill me! And my first coherent thought is: why did I wait? And I dare not smile or I will fall apart.

To everyone hesitating, don’t wait, don’t grow old without knowing, let Jennifer reveal your female alter ego, it’s a unique and wonderful experience.
