Wonderful cameo  I hope you continue so we can share Jen's's first male date  with his double dating wife/  I relate somewhat to this story as my secretary who dressed me for almost two decades  would take me to gay bars and we would pick up guys   The first time she did this was to celebrate my birthday  It was scary so I am eager to find out how Jen reacted   I love stories like this  thank you

First of all, let me say that I echo everything that Annabel said.  I, personally, related completely to Jennifer's story and found it a truly gratifying read.  

Moreover, to the extent that much of your exceedingly well-written fictionalized piece may be based on your real-life experiences, congratulations, well done, and best wishes!  Jennifer, with her spouse's assistance, engaged in a number of things that potentially may prove very positive for her health.   The weight loss and healthier intake and exercise regimens are obviously a part of an intelligent prescription for a healthier and longer life.  Plus, as we in the community are well aware, the most frequent deleterious effects of total suppression of our feminine selves are exacerbated stress levels and depression, sometimes accompanied by suicidal impulses.  No matter what happens from here, the chemical stress and depression (and frequently anxiety) caused by Jennifer's gender identity issues will be somewhat relieved.  At this juncture, she seems unclear whether she has predominant dysphoria -- i.e. 100%-female-in-head-needing-to-transform-completely-for-healthy-late-life-existence -- or a need to be able to express her female identity while maintaining her also-real-to-her male identity because she needs occasional exercise of both aspects of her duality to feel "complete."  Either way, even if Jennifer's partner ultimately does not remain her partner for Jennifer's entire twilight journey, she has done her a great service by helping to alleviate the massive stress by-products almost undoubtedly being manufactured by the chemical-time-bomb within her.  This has been accomplished by allowing Jennifer to cry, giggle, and creatively explore what it means and feels to her to be accepted as Jennifer.  

Again, kudos to you, sister!

I love your story.  It is beautifully written.  Congratulations on your hard work achieving your weight target.  
You are so lucky to have a wife and girlfriend who understands and encourages you to explore new experiences.  I wish you both every happiness together, enjoying every aspect of your relationship.
Hugs Annabel

      The importance of reader feedback cannot be overstated.   Authors rely on it to improve their future works, and it gives them the incentive to write more stories if they know that their hard work has been appreciated.  I am not saying that comments must all be lauditory.  Authors often appreciate honest, constructive criticism over simple remarks like 'Great story', although simple praise is appreciated also.  There is no limit on how much you can enter in the 'comments' box.   Sentences will automatically word wrap at the end of the line so please do not use your carriage return/enter key except at the end of your paragraphs.

      It is not necessary to use your real name here, and, email addresses are optional.  Posting your email address will allow the author to thank you for taking the time to post your comments, and/or discuss critiques and address possible concerns.
