Thanks so much for stopping in to learn a bit more about me! My chosen name is Rachel Williston. I am a TGirl currently living in the United States. You could also refer to me as a transvestite, but I prefer TGirl even though I use both here.

Transvestite ... it took me so very long to admit to myself that I am a transvestite. Well ... I am a transvestite. There, I said it! Society still does not generally accept transvestites, so its a little scary I guess that I am one!

How did this whole TGirl thing start for me? If you look at other TGirl websites around (and there are literally thousands of them!), stories are very similar. My beginnings were around age 11. I found myself having an attraction to girls' clothing. This started with lingerie. Pre-teen, I loved looking through the Sears catalogs that would come in the mail and the bras, panties, and slips displayed. Those were the days ... when coordinated lingerie in so many different colors was available!

When I was 14 my story takes a turn. One that would affect me for the rest of my life. I had such an attraction to nylon panties that I just had to experience slipping a pair of nylon panties on. Strange for a 14 year old boy, but I just really had to wear a pair of panties. Lucky for me, I had an older sister who wore about the same size lingerie as me. I found from looking in her lingerie drawer that she had a lovely assortment of nylon panties, lacy nylon panties, and even lacy nylon panty slips (remember those?). One day when she was not home, I went into her room and selected a chocolate brown lacy nylon half slip and matching panties and scurried back to my room. I then slowly slipped on her nylon panties. That's right, I was now wearing my sister's panties! It sounds really strange to me now, but it was something I just had to do back then. I could not control myself. I then put on her nylon half slip. So there I was, a 14 year

old boy wearing my sister's nylon half slip and panties! Yes, it was exciting. It also started me on a path of realizing that I was different from other boys ... I was part girl !

From this beginning with a fascination for lingerie, I began to wear skirts and dresses. Before that could come about, I felt that I had to

begin wearing a bra. Kind of embarrassing for a teenage boy to go to a store and buy a bra but I summoned courage and did it! My

later teenage years were all about being fully dressed, including a wig and slowly getting the hang of make up (I still need help on

that :) ). I had gone from a focus on panties and lingerie to really feeling like a girl on the inside and trying to dress the part on the

Outside.

The next couple of decades involved dressing and sometimes purging my feminine wardrobe. There was still a lot of guilt I felt about

feeling that I was a girl and dressing the part. I felt that I was not supposed to do this. I was born male after all. Society didn't approve

of crossdressing or guys feeling that they were actually girls inside. Most Tgirls have gone through a purging stage ... looking

back, its a bit stupid and definitely expensive! During my 30’s, I realized that I WAS part girl. I needed to be a girl at least part time.

In 2001, I discovered how many girls there are like me ... the internet! I began feeling much more comfortable about being me, feeling like I really was a girl. I began taking photos of me as a girl and started up my very own little 'ol website ("http://rachelwilliston.com") . From there, I dressed as a girl as much as time allowed. I started trying to help other Tgirls understand themselves. We ARE normal you know! I started the Pretty Tgirls Group on Yahoo with the help of a genetic girl (gg) Laurie Ann. I later started up Pretty Tgirls Magazine, which was a true labor of love for me. There was so much help from others and so much involvement ... truly a great experience!

Being so visible on the internet was, at first, a bit scary. My fears were really unfounded, as I made so many great friends and have

been lucky not to have too many undesirable types after me (phew!). I have not had the time to go to the many TG conferences around due to work (I gotta pay for my dresses somehow!). I do hope to go to some in the future though.

I am happy as a girl. I consider myself a straight Tgirl who still is attracted to genetic girls. I do find other Tgirls attractive and have actually kissed a couple of other Tgirls. Kinda strange, huh? Not really. Most of us ARE part girl after all. We tend to wear skirts and dresses much more often than genetic girls seem to these days and have to tend to our hair and make up at all times. Finding a gg that

accepts a Tgirl is very tough, but I don't have to tell you that I guess. They are out there. Things are changing for us Tgirls. Younger gg's seem to be more accepting, so there is definitely hope for Tgirls. Society is still lagging behind though. You can still find television shows that portray us in a joking kind of way ... too bad for them and anyone who laughs. We are, as a whole, very kind, sensitive, and open girls who are some of the best nonjudgmental people around!

My hope is that every society will gain acceptance of Tgirls someday so we can be ourselves with no fear or regret. If I have helped even in a tiny way towards this, great! So, that is a brief story of Rachel ... hope you enjoyed it! The important thing to remember about this is that us TGirls ARE part girl and that it is truly pointless to try to deny our feminine feelings. Being a girl can be denied for a time, but cannot be denied forever. It is not an illness, not a sexual deviation, and not something to be cured. It can certainly be difficult being a TGirl, but it is so very much fun too being yourself!

Be happy! Love from Rachel

A gg (genetic girl) friend of mine created a slideshow of various pics of me wearing different skirts. She calls it "Rachel's Trademark." For a while (ok, a long while), I took pics where one could see my panties a bit. I struggled a bit as to where I should put this ... here or on my lingerie page. I decided here was ok. You will see some pics with a reference to "Rachel Pastel" which is my previous last name is all. Well, click here > > if you dare to see these!

Access to my personal galleries is below. Just click on a year and this will bring you to my photos for that year or type of dress. If you see “Rachel Pastel” on some of my photos, that was my previous last name is all ... Still me. Enjoy !!!
