Hi everyone,
Just thinking tonight, the Sydney Mardi Gras parade is on tonight and being quite new to the tg community was just thinking peoples' thoughts on how you feel in relation to the Mardi Gras. On one hand I think that the ideal way to transition would be seamlessly fitting into a female (or male) role but at the same time don't feel that it should be a giant secret, besides, people are going to eventually figure it out! (The change in clothes and body might be a bit of a give away) :)
For those who have no idea what the Sydney Mardi Gras is here are a few links.

In a nutshell its a LGBTI parade that started in the late 70's in Sydney and has evolved into a month long festival that culminates in a massive street parade. It also attracts a lot of negative attention from "not so open minded people". It's very flamboyant, massive streetparty! hahahah
I could be wrong but I think that this is the second year that it has included trans and intersex peoples (previously was known only as the "Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras").
Just wondering if people have any thoughts or even better participated this year!
