This is a repost of an adaptation of my final local Craigslist ad before Craigslist eliminated their personals posts.

Me: I'm a 65-year-old, part-time Tgirl. I'm 5'8" tall, pretty green eyes, natural shoulder-length brunette hair I wear in a pony tail (when en drab) and I've been told I have great legs; I'll let you decide from my photo.

I'm a well-educated, creative person in my work. I've traveled to every state and more than 25 countries around the world in my professional career yet I tend to think of myself as the girl-next-door type.

I have a submissive personality as Miranda so I like my companion to be the one in charge, making the decisions. When I'm in girl mode I prefer wearing dresses or a skirt and blouse paired with heels but I'm comfortable in a casual top, leggings, Reeboks, and a baseball cap.

I've said many times, because I love sports so much, that had I been born a girl, I probably would have been something of a tomboy, albeit one who would have liked getting dressed up as a feminine girl when "off the field."

I do my best to present myself as a lady in public, trying to avoid drawing any undue attention to myself, preferring to blend in. At home, alone with my guy, my preference is sexy lingerie typically paired with high heels.

You: Equally accomplished, well-educated, with a take-charge personality that works with my more submissive personality as Miranda. While I can tell all you younger guys that I'm very flattered by all the attention you've shown me in all my previous ads, I do prefer someone close to my age, a relationship-minded dominant gentleman from 50 to 75. 

In an ideal world (and I realize that ours isn't usually an ideal world, especially in these pandemic times), the man who seeks me will be dominant, with experience in taking a part-time girl like me full-time. He is looking for a live-in Tgirl, one who as a requirement for me to move in with him, will require me to separate myself from the life I've pretended to live as a man, to dedicate myself 24/7 to living as Miranda.

If experienced in such situations, he'll know already how to handle me, what buttons to push, enjoy purging from me any sense of having been male, and destroying any residual sense of male pride. He will out me to my mom, family, friends, and business colleagues so I can only move forward as Miranda, never back.

Will it be a humiliating experience for me initially? Yes, but it will be an experience that is essential for me to fully accept the life I've chosen and with his help, constantly remind me that there's no turning back.

This is not a hook-up ad; I'm much too old for that. It's my goal to meet a gentleman (anywhere as I'm free to relocate for the right man and right relationship), especially someone who considers himself a T-Girl admirer who enjoys the company of a passable, articulate girl like myself, with a LTR as a possibility if there's chemistry.

If you are an admirer who has dated T-girls (CD, TV, TG, or TS) in the past, that's a plus to me. I've found that such men are more likely to have more realistic expectations than someone who is looking for his first date with someone like me but I'm am open to men who see themselves as curious. Also, be single or otherwise unattached. And it's very important to me that you be a non-smoker. 

Next step: Respond to my ad, direct me to your profile after reading mine here on TGPersonals. Please let me know something about you as I've already told you a bit about me. I never host in the initial dating stages so be prepared to host or at least meet in me a public place. I prefer a local Starbucks with outdoor seating in the socially distanced times as they are everywhere and no one pays much attention to a "tranny" on a first date with an admirer. I also feel comfortable, maybe because I'm a writer, meeting at a Barnes and Noble cafe, surrounded by the printed word. It just makes me feel comfortable and relaxed when that is possible again (although with outdoor seating is a possibility for an initial meeting).

Of course, when it becomes possible again if you want to meet at a sports bar to watch a game, that would be great. Just make sure that you let me know the town you live in and I'll find a place between us to meet that's convenient for both of us, for local men living in California's Inland Empire. That's why it's important when you reply to tell me not only your age, but where you live as well.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you. I do ask you to respect my age criteria (50-75), that you be a non-smoker, and that you not be married or otherwise involved in a one-to-one relationship. If we click, if the chemistry is right, I want there to be a possibility of a second date and after that, a long-term relationship.

Before the end of 2020, I plan to start working as Miranda (right now as I winding down in my other career so I can only express my feminine side on a part-time basis) as I think it will be easier in the aftermath of Caitlyn Jenner's interview, TV show and very public transition.

Living full-time as Miranda will simplify my life in some ways but complicate it in other ways as you can imagine. Hopefully, through my ad, I'll meet a guy who will see me as Miranda and will be sympathetic to the challenges I'm about to face.

Might that be you?
