Well then you're good to go. 

I heard an analogy about makeup a long time ago.  As you go through the countryside in Texas you see a lot of different kinds of barns.  Some are new and painted with bright colors, some have an unfinished metal look.  Some older barns have a cool rustic feel, but most just look run down and need to be painted.  So with makeup it's the same.  If you need to paint the barn, then paint the barn.  If not, don't worry about it.

I  do all right  away from my  home,  but unless I  put on a Halloween     mask  in the area I live its impossible until  HRT does  better where people will gender me properly out  of a sense  of human compassion for  looking more female than male. right  now they just look at me  strangely and emphasize the sir, but that's how  they've known me for 20 years.
