Well, I went to a bar for the first time as female that was not a GLBT bar. Why did I wait so long? In case I was carded...and I was.
It didn't matter at the GLBT bar as I just went as a transsexual, but this is the first time as a woman. So, here's what happened:
I had been talking to people on the phone for the last 3 hours and hadn't had dinner and I wanted to go out for the evening. Originally I was going to go to a GLBT bar, but I was on the phone so long, I didn't have time to go across town. So I went to touch up my make up and I had left some at work. I used what I had and ran to the store and got replacements for what I had left behind. I touched it up in the car and then I got a call from my ex wondering where I was at. I told her and she said the kids were at her mom's house overnight and wondered if she could join me for dinner and I said sure. I finished up the makeup and went to the restaurant and met up with her. We ate and had a good meal. Then I asked her if she wanted to go to a bar and she said sure. She wanted to go to a karaoke bar that she frequents. So we went in her car.
We got there and went in. I was a little nervous as I had only been in a bar briefly since going fulltime to look for someone. Anyway, we sat and ordered drinks. I was asked for ID, so I showed my handy dandy DL with my handy dandy 'F' on it.
Next, I decided to sing a song I thought I knew and could sing fairly well as female. While waiting, one of the women that was more popular (I think she was Bi) and started talking to us. She sat down next to my ex closely and was asking what song she chose and then she leaned over and asked me which one I chose and I told her and she was impressed and sat down next to me closely and we talked for a bit. She was surprised I was asa old as I was when she asked my age, but I just flashed my handy dandy DL to prove it. After a bit, she went back to her other friends.
Later she asked both of us to dance with her and her friends so we did. Eventually my song came up and I sang it. It had words in it I didn't know it had, so I did poorly (except for sounding female
). Well, we signed up for another song each and after another drink, more dancing and waiting, mine came up. Well, I did awesome this time. In fact, I did better than I ever had practicing it. So, I can sing as female
. Well, the evening was pretty successful and I seemed to pass well. This was my first experience doing this at a non-GLBT bar and it wasn't as scary as I thought. In fact, I had a blast.
