Going out my first time dressed up and I'm a little worried

[Tessa James]

I was in Chicago recently and heard nothing but good things about the Center on Halsted.  Our friend Suzi has the best advice for what to wear, a smile, and that pic of you in the crazy mirror deserves to be your avatar--you look great

[CaptFido87]

Haha thanks I just might. Maybe with a different mirror though. I really do hate it lol

[chefskenzie]

Will you message me the info so I can add it onto our Calendar if it isn't already there?

[CaptFido87]

Yea I'll send you a link.

OK so I'm here at the event and it seems to be fun so far. A good handful of people. I'll be honest I'm like beyond terrified right now lol.

And for those of you who are afriad of being judged on if you pass or not. Trust me nobody cares. There's people here who clearly don't pass and they are rockin it. Nobody cares and that's cool. Such a cool environment. I'll try to take some pictures too

[Mariah]

Relax and have fun. Please keep us posted on how it goes for you. You've got this. Good luck

Have fun, and I'm looking forward to seeing some pictures.

Sounds like you're having fun!

As for passing/not passing I think that's kind of the point. These events are for and by the community and as such they won't judge you even if you don't pass.

You rock, sometimes it's hard to keep up the courage when you're about to go out those first times, but it sounds like you had a good experience.  Let us know how it went!

[CaptFido87]

Oh it was so much fun. I met a bunch of cool trans people. I met a few ftm who were really cool too. I wasn't really expecting to see any. So that was a neat experience. Obviously a bunch of Mtf as well as a couple gay guys. So I had some funny conversations with a few of them.

We danced to some good music too. Than we went to a local bar across the street as well. I met a few people who I became friends with and we talked about the hrt process, which they had just started about 2 months ago. I'll post Picts later. Thanks again for the loving
