Its easier than I thought!

Dunno but maybe the magic pills are working-altho my changes seem much much slower to me-I live in Eastbourne in the u.k and when I told folk that I was going to transition there I had a lot of folk telling me how intolerant my town is-Well I have not found it so and am accepted and called Ms by most shop assistants which helps me and my confidence-I get paranoid and think I stick out like a sore thumb some days but thats in my head-all in all I am loving living in the gender I was always meant to be living in(I dont see it as my chosen gender)-it is my gender!-as I often say to my friends.."its not like I fell out of bed one night and said I will be a woman tommorow"!-I always have been just something went so wrong in the womb-I am lucky that my family all accept me as I am today when I came out to them I thought that they would reject me but was told that they had always gad an inkling that something was not right-that knocked me sideways I tell ya!--Yes I have dificult days(raging hormones etc) but generally things are good and I am so much happier with me and the world at large-suicide and drink and drug problems wre so much part of my life before I transitioned because of my inner torment-now today I am free!-Its great and I am off and running,I have a long way to go yet but with friends,family and the support and love of places like Susans Place(which I have just found this week and never knew was here until I got on the internet for the 1st time this week)!-I can be truly happy in my life-Thank you all for being here and for being who you are xXx

Hi, Suregirl,

It's great to hear that your first foray into your real life experience has gone so well.  I am happy for you!

In the beginning I had one piece of advice:  always be bold.  If you're mousy or timid or if you fail to look at those with whom you're speaking, you will have problems because some people will begin to push you around.

My first day in public was purely an "open on guts" thing. 

I had been on HRT for three weeks and I looked as rough as a cob!  The Cover Girl makeup was on with a trowel, the high-quality acrylic wig was not the best choice that I could have made, and the rest of me looked ridiculous.  I wore a sleeveless, white button-down top, black shorts, black sandals, and carried a tiny black handbag too small to hold 50 cents.  And no breasts or falsies, either.  And I didn't care, either.  It was my day and I walked the streets like I was the mayor.

May all of your days out be good days, Suregirl.  You have as much right to be wherever you are as anyone else does, and if you don't get the respect you deserve when you visit a shop or store, tell them so.

Be bold!
