Hehe thanks.

It was actually really empowering to treat my old appearance so disdainfully as to use it explicitly as a costume. :P

As an update:

This was for a costume party being hosted by my university's GSA. I didn't win the costume contest, but I did make the final cut.

And more importantly, I got elected the new VP of the organization. :D

Lol you are my hero. I am not yet near that confident. Congratulations. :)

This sounds like a lot of fun!  I've promised a queer female friend of mine that we're going to go out both crossdressed and pretend to be gay boyfriends.  It's going to be wonderful.

Thanks. :) You know, I don't feel like it took all that much confidence. I didn't have any huge negative reactions (from myself, no one else would be able to have a negative reaction that affected me). I think the hardest part is that I feel like I still look like that most days. But what I found when I started getting ready was that it all felt so foreign.

I was struck by my inability to recapture my former self. That's a guaranteed sign of progress. :) So it was very reinforcing.

I feel like I'm stuck in between the two now, which is perhaps appropriate for only being a few months into HRT and pre-FFS. I don't see a woman in the mirror most days, but I can't pull off looking like the guy I was. So . . . *shrug*
