On February 6, 2003, there's no doubt I lived one the most significant days in my life.

Autumn Sandeen 06Feb03On that day, I showed up at my job as a work-study at the San Diego Veterans Administration Patient Health Library. It was the first day in my life that I publicly lived as Autumn, so February 6th, 2003 was my "coming out" day.

To the right is a photo taken at the Patient Health Library on that first day as Autumn. I'd say now that it's not a very pretty picture of me, but it is a photo that has a lot of meaning for me. I still even have that outfit in my closet; however, both the blouse and the skirt are way too big on me now.
