Title: Yesturday...
Post by: Jay on June 25, 2007, 09:36:41 AM
Well yesturday my girlfirend and I were getting ready to meet new friends and I need to get some money out and get some things from the store. So I got some money out of the bank and went to the convience store and asked for two scratchcards and the sales assistant said can I have your ID please, I said your joking right? (As over here you have to be 16 to buy Scratchcards or lottery, and I am nearly 20) he said "no" so I handed over my drivers licence and he looked at it funny then looked and me and said "are you Laura Elizabeth Johnston" and I said "yes" he then looked at me suspisously and handed over the scratchcards. At first it didn't really click why he asked if I was who I am then it did..... my first recognising as a dude! I was so happy!

Just wanted to share my joy with all of you!

Feels great, doesn't it?  Congratulations!  I'm finding that the more confidence I have in my appearance, in being myself, the more other people recognize it; i.e., somehow project it and it becomes visible to others.  It's a weird but nearly magical thing.

awesome, jaston!  Really happy for you.

only downside is people thinking you're younger... but that's just something we have to get used to.

Congrats Jaston, that's awesome! The first time someone recognized me as a guy was only a few weeks ago, I mean it was dark and the guy was drunk, haha, but still, I had amazing dreams for the rest of the week.
