There was a certain time last week that i actually passed as male where i live where everyone knows me
It was a entire week ago you're probably wondering why i'm speaking about it well i guess so i can always have this remain on site so i can look backwards one day and say hey, i remember the first day i passed at where i live!
And for others who may be questioning or wanting to find something to relate to so who knows maybe its for me maybe its for others i can't tell the future. But i remember being inside that store getting ready to check out and the guy in front of me asked me if i wanted to go ahead of him in line at first i refused because i don't like being rude but he insisted and i accepted it and then he looked at the woman in the check out and said "Let him go first" My brain got confused and didn't even believe what it was hearing it consciously took me a couple seconds to realize he just said "He" shortly after walking out of the store i started freaking out in my mind saying to myself "I just passed, did i just pass? I just passed, i passed where i live!" it's funny how my brain didn't understand what happened it was so used to not believing that was possible when it actually happened it couldn't understand it was real and double checked.
It'll be in my mind forever that stranger probably didn't even realize how important that was for me way more then him letting me go ahead in the line. One other thing i learned was i didn't think strangers where nice like that to men, they are.
and it was nice knowing this. You know it was nice learning that just because im a guy doesn't mean i won't be treated good by society. I had this false idea people disliked men or other men think you should do everything yourself or go away.

Very happy for you. It is so powerful a feeling isn't it? I never get tired of it. Here's to many more like it.

Very, very cool!
Yeah, guys can be very nice, even to other guys. The brotherhood has it's ways, for sure, not all of them are pleasant, but a lot of them are, well, if you are a guy, that is, lol. You, sir, are clearly a guy! Congratulations, your kind see you as yourself! Happy day, happy day...
