After taking a few steps forward, I've been growing in confidence in myself recently as I've been going out without hardly getting clocked.
Today I've come out to see a museum, but before I left I couldn't get past the guy staring back in the mirror, despite changing clothes a few time. Nothing would work.
I thought I should just get past it as nothing is really different from the last time, but I stopped in a convenience store on the way and some guy said 'that's a man!' and I just can't get past that now today.
I guess passing and being seen as the gender that I feel inside is very important for me. More than anything I just want a quiet life lol
Slowly grown confidence can be a fragile thing...time to go home today, regroup and try and work out what went wrong in preparation for the next time.

So sorry to hear that you had that experience, Joan. I thought they were more circumspect and polite than that in Japan...

Thanks to you both :)
I stopped in a drugstore along the way where nobody seemed to stare, came home and looking in the mirror I'm wondering what I was worrying about.
Grace, yes usually nobody's usually that direct about things but I guess exceptions prove the rule. My luck to run into him today.
Back on the horse next week for the next visit to the gender clinic!
