I decided that it was time to go out as myself and face the world yesterday.  It has been kind of difficult for me to do such things, since my wife still lives with me (she is moving out in less than a week).  She was out this weekend, so I decided that I needed to get out as myself and do some shopping.  I was terrified that people were going to give me a hard time, but I think it went well!  No one said anything!  I went with a friend and her sister-in-law.  As the day marched on, the less awkward I felt.  I think going out and facing the fear of being in public dressed was a huge step forward for me!  I am starting hormones in about 9 days, so I really need to get used to going out en femme!  Anyway, here's a pic of me right after getting back!  Just wanted to share!  I'm so ready for the future!!! <3 <3 <3
