As a complete closet case who've b/c of fear and shame avoided expressing my female side, looking all "male",
these moments are really rare, only happened a few times in my life but I still remember them to this day.
I feel silly for writing about these moments, but I just felt it would be interesting to hear if other "closeted" people
can relate to these type of moments, and how fantastic they can make you feel.
I remember one time I was patting my little nephew. He was sitting in the back of the car with my grandmother, and
I was sitting in the passenger's seat in front. My grandmother - in typical "very old person style" saying whatever comes to their mind

- only seeing my hands - saying "What?? Was that your hands George?? I thought they were the hands of a woman!" Me: - "nope, it was me."

That was 3 years ago.
Another time I bought winter shoes and the cashier said they didn't have that size in male model but if I would be okay with it they had the female model. "They are really very much alike, she said, would that be okay?" Me: "Yeah, sure, Why not"

Feeling happy every time I used those shoes.
I've come out to two female friends recently. One of them told me I was "not manly" and that If I wanted to become a woman (like many cis persons she has no clue what you have to go through, thinking that a gender change can be made just by deciding to do so) she would support it and said in a SMS that I have a "very slender body" that would look good as a girl.

I'm still so proud of hearing that
