It's taken a while , but I think I've finally conquered my fears. I've gone into my favorite hang outs in proper attire and I've sworn to myself there's no going back. It's still a little nerve racking getting use to presenting totally me though . the butterflies are ever present. I think the hormones have done a good job so, so far so good. I went into the Einstein Bagels I go to every day and sat there and finally forced myself to the counter to get coffee and I survived the ordeal. After sitting there on the internet one of the clerks came up to me and gave me a plate of donut holes .
