Going Part Time . . .

[Melissa]

I did nearly 5 months presenting as Male at work and living as Female outside of work and weekend.

How does that work though? Like dressing extremely male at work, hiding the hair somehow, etc.? And outside of work... wearing extremely female (not androgynous) clothing, styling the hair more feminine, etc.?

Since I did the same thing, I'll try and explain.  At some point, you start looking pretty androgynous.  It's more of a matter of pushing it to one side or the other of the androgony line.  Eventually the "male" look wasn't quite being so effective (getting maamed while presenting as male or being obviously treated as female) and that's when it was time to go fulltime.

Had a great time over the weekend. I was dressed fairly casual; I wore a nice top and a pair of tight jeans and my white skimmers. I went to the library and to the flea market and I had no problems at either place, which made me feel really good. Really builds on the coinfidence! When I stopped at a variety store, a gentleman was a few steps ahead of me, and he kindly held the door for me. Can't wait until the next weekend!!!

what do you girls suggest for university? i mean, im not at work, and its fairly imperosnal, straight to ft? or girl outside of lectures?

I haven't been having the slightest problem at school. In fact, the GG seem fascinated with what I'm doing, and while we don't sit around and gab about it, in fact no conversation has ever taken place, theyre simply accepting Amanda happily.

Hey Gina 

You are truly beautiful, brave, and blessed. I'm really happy for you and hope it goes better than your wildest expectations. I'm worried about you and the low-income housing, poverty is the best breeding ground for hate and intolerance...please, please, please just be careful.
*hugs*

Thanks Amanda for your sweet words about me.  Thanks for your concern about my living, but as said I've got a few neighbors who have seen me and they're very comfortable with it. So as said, it makes it easier for me to come and go as my feminine self.
