Passing with Pride: Yumi’s Story of Confidence and Self-Love

Passing with Pride: Yumi’s Story of Confidence and Self-Love

The woman at the checkout looked up, smiled warmly, and said, ‘Have a lovely day, young lady.’ My heart raced. I’d been waiting 33 years to hear those words.

Hi, my name is Yumi, I am a 33 year old transwoman from Germany.

A Journey Years in the Making

I finally had the chance to begin my trans journey – something I had carried with me from 2008 to 2024. I was just a month before my therapist session the last time at a hairdresser, because I didn’t know if I can start my journey with the therapist.

The Struggle with Dysphoria

So, as I wanted to start to look female in the public, I didn’t had much hair which causes in strong dysphoric and anxiety. I started to search after wigs. My first wigs were very cheap ones, but I saw, but I began to realize that this could not be the final solution. Deep down, I knew they weren’t a long-term answer. They didn’t give me the natural look and confidence I longed for.

Discovering Simply Wigs

A year later, I decided it was time to invest in myself and my happiness. That’s when I found Simply Wigs.

I bought the Angelica Large wig, because as a “born male” I sadly have a larger head then the most females. But this wig turned out amazing! And I’ve been getting compliments on my look ever since.

And today was the first time I passed in public (that a stranger recognized me fully female and called me “young lady”). I am so happy now, I can finally be myself, after so many years, after so much pain over the 32 years and now, I am happy, I can look in the mirror and finally see “me“.

Thank you so much again Simply Wigs, you make my way to my true self much better.

Love, Yumi

Congratulations Yumi, I am so pleased for you. You look amazing and send my very best wishes on your continued journey.

I am so happy that you’re happy. Angelica was one of my first daily wigs, but that was many years ago (she is a timeless style). With love and light from a fellow trans woman. ??

Well done Yumi! The only way is forward now. I’ve been wearing wigs for a lot of years now, since the 1970s, and have enjoyed wearing different styles and colourings. And for several years I have been a customer of Simply Wigs and I can’t praise them enough for their care, knowledge and efficiency. And always with a nice, friendly manner. So stick with ’em Yumi It’ll be a good life.
