Tell me girls, if this plan is sound.
I'm planning to come out earlier than my graduation now, actually at class this summer, which in brazil is November/December (ya, our santa wears a swimsuit). My voice is fairly passable, and by then I should have none or very little beard shadow. I'm building up confidence, and slowly showing things to my classmates, such as first I began talking on my female voice 100% of the time, then makeup, then a few female clothes, as to not excedingly shock anyone and to let the more perceptive ones know whats going on. There is going to be the day where I finally change my presenation from male to female though, not just male with feminine clothes and makeup! I am not going to come out at the hospital at this moment, because I believe I'd not be passable with messed up hair, bad night of sleep skin and the white overall we have to wear.
Though as soon as I feel safer, I will.
I'm just going to arrive at class looking my absolute best and with my confidence as high as possible. I know how life works for me, and there is 95% chance I will get bad traffic that night and will end arriving at class late, so I wil walk past the whole class of students before finding a suitable chair. Once the shock factor and the sure whispers behind my back cease, I don't know what wil happen next. I guess I won't know until I do it.
I will be at around 8-9 months of HRT. I'm unsure if it is too soon, but you know, I figure the longer I wait (such as waiting until after graduation) tougher the things will become. Additionally, I don't wish to bind my breast so they don't show below summer clothes, I dunno, I think my body will out me anyway. There is at least a part of me that is insecure over this, since it will be my first time showing my true presentation to people who aren't close friends. They are all medicine students, highly competitive, perceptive and bitchy like hell. Some I would even call rivals due to our constantly competitive relationship. So it will be a very critical crowd. I am unsure of what to watch for in his moment. I believe avoiding way too daring clothes is a great idea, so no high heels, loads of makeup and dress. I am going for female jeans, sandals and a top, along with a fitting assortment of jewelry but not overdone. So, casual and tasteful
Tips, ideas, comments, anything please. I will read everything and consinder it all throughoutly even if I don't reply.
