Hi Everyone

The story of your trip brings back early transition memories.  People see what they expect to see if the cues are normal and confident.  The occasional conspitatorial grin from a passing GG were great.

Welcome to Susan's.  Lots to share here.  Do check the rules, Wiki, Chat, and Links.

Welcome to Susan's Ashley!!

Coming to terms with being a trans person is something I had to do too and coming here to Susan's helped me a lot. I hope it helps you too.

I'm happy to make your acquaintance and hope we'll be seeing more from you real soon.

hugs & smiles

Hi Ashley

   Welcome!  Welcome!

   You're not alone; we all need to lose a few pounds

The world didn't come to an end.

Isn't it amazing?

Seriously, if there's one lesson I wish I could communicate to everyone who starts this, it would be just that: this thing tends to be a much bigger thing in OUR heads than it is for everyone else. Not always, I realize sometimes people react badly, but overall people just don't seem to care. That STILL astounds me.

Repeat my mantra with me: "it's amazing what you can get used to!"

...and she smiled at me.  A conspiratorial smile, like we shared a secret.

Dontcha LOVE it? I was constantly amazed by the reaction of women when I "came out." Hugs, advice, took me to dinner, lol...

At any rate, just wanted to say hello to all of you.

And a big hello and welcome to you, Ashley!
