I cannot believe this! I've only just started my social transition and I managed to pass!! I went out with a nurse who visits children in care, and we went down to a cafe right next to the sea. It was wonderful. We went up and ordered. I felt good before I left home, I knew I was getting close to looking like a boy.
I didn't speak when I ordered. I just pointed at the ice cream and slice of cake I wanted. I didn't expect any else, other than my order... But what do I get?
"An ice cream for the man" as she passed it down to me. I felt so... Amazing. It felt natural. She was talking to me. Nobody else behind me. To me. As she handed me MY ice cream. I AM THE MAN.
A MAAAAAN. *external and internal high*
When she said it, at first I was thinking to myself: "what? Me? MEEEE?" But oh god, did it feel good. Most satisfaction I've ever had.
I started questioning it when we where driving back home. Maybe it's just slang? Maybe all her customers are "the man"? Or maybe I AM THE MAN. (I'm never going to get over this, sorry.)
How did you people feel when you first passed? Where you expecting it? When does this buzz and emotional high stop, and just become the everyday thing? Does this even count as passing?
(I must thank the amazing people on this website who have given me tips on how to pass... I think we're getting somewhere...)
