Things are starting to take bizarre yet funny turn. Stop to do little shopping on the way to therapy yesterday. Was in "guy drab" mainly because the face is still healing up from my first full clearing of those awful facial hairs. Picked out some comfy "around the house" pants at the store. Take my stuff to cashier and she looks at me and asks " is this all ma'am ?".
O.K. , what makes this bizarre and funny is I'm pre HRT, wasn't even trying to "present" me to the world and I get ma'am ed. If you asked me how I looked I'd have said "crazy serial killer". Due to cold weather was dressed in heavy jacket, jeans, hiking boots and knit hat. The only thing I would say that was remotely femme was my stud earrings.
The sales girl never corrected herself as we chatted while she rang up my purchase and all I could think was the poor dear really must have her eyes examined.
Had a pretty good chuckle with my therapist when I told her what happened. Starting to think that there are internal changes with all of us when we finally except who we really are. No matter how we are presenting to the world I suspect some people can at some level recognize the changes even though there are no obvious outward physical signs. Finding this to be pretty cool....
