So today I was at a coffeeshop and it was warm and I was tired of hiding. So off went the hoodie. Under? Pink short sleeved v-neck women's tee and a bralette that showed through. Couple of odd looks, since as you all know my face doesn't pass yet - although I had foundation that (mostly) covered my beard shadow. But the sense of freedom!
Then tonight, I finally made a call to the local gender counseling place and got voice mail, so I left my number. Scared, but finally moving forward.
EDIT
I added lipstick and eye shadow, but here's my shirt!

It's the little steps that get you there in the end.

Congrats! It is liberating isn't it?
You'll find that the further you go, each step gets easier than the one before.
