I went out today in my baggy shorts, skate shoes, tee shirt, new buzz cut, and went into a restaurant to order takeout (cuz I forgot my cell phone to call ahead, doh!)

And she asked for my name and I said Jay.  A first!!

First time other than therapy and other transfolk.  And I didn't care if they thought it was Jaye, but she wrote Jay on the sheet.

;D

Oh, and I'm gray now.  My stylist buzzed off most of what remained of my hair color.  Add in my new glasses (one week!) and I should look a bit more masculine.

That's great Jay!   :)

The first time can be the hardest but I can see you're a very gutsy, upbeat guy and will be a success in all you do.  :)

Way to go, nothing says male like a haircut that says "I don't care about hair."  Buzzcuts rock.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...

Yes, but even if I'm uncomfortable a bit being a non-passing male, that discomfort is minimal compared to what I felt trying to pretend I was female.  Standing in a crowded restaurant waiting for an order would have been torture.  Not this time. 

Now, it will be a miracle if I correct pronouns or use the urinal...

Stay tuned for Life's Finest Moments with Jay.  LOL
