Things like this make me question my passing ability as I underestimate myself alot. Maybe due to the occasional sir etc.
Well I started hangin out with a new couple. I was so worried when I was going to meet them the first time. I was wearing jeans, flip flops and a tank top, minimal make up very tomboyish. I was expecting to see disappointment in their eyes when I got there. I was met by them at the door and nothing like I had feared happened. They didn't run away to rally the villagers to get the monster like I feared. I think it was entirely the opposite.They were more than gracefull and I think very relieved that I looked so female.
We sat around and got to know each other better until 4:30 am which is way past my normal bedtime even on a Saturday night.They actually said I am cute and sexy. The woman was amazed at my body and said it was definitley female.
I went back over there last night and I looked much better. Nice khaki shorts and a black tank. I was told that I looked really nice by the woman. So we talk and they show me around the grounds of the co-op. Met a few people and got no weird looks or anything. I was referred to as she her or Jonni  So neighbors didn't freak out either even the little kids didn't give me funny looks.
Does this mean I am there or are people just that nice? They totally are ok with me and know all about me and still want to hang out. I think this is great after so much rejection since starting my transition.

That is a good result  jonnismith...

I always dress casually in jeans, a fem top and no make up. So far I've never been percieved as male.. ....less is more...

That's good. I think we do give ourselves a hard time. I sometimes get that "this is too good to be true! Are they just being nice about things, or do they just see me as female?"
