Title: Best way to go out first.
Post by: anita on September 22, 2012, 09:14:51 AM
Friends,
  I think I figured the best way to go out first, because that is the one of the most nervous part. So ideally you want, one, meet
some one you are quite comfortable with, and two, chance to be out in the open, see lot of strangers.  So I just went to meet my
therapist/gynaecologist, there was plenty of time to come down while driving, and while sitting in the waiting room etc. I guess nobody clocked
me. Including my doctor was like "I was expecting to see man in a dress", I didn't recognize you, hence I had to call out Anita :). So all in all it went
very nice.

How I dressed:

Awesome news. Anita.  And to echo your doctor.  All I see is a young woman.

I guess my voice is pretty good, the receptionist opened a new medical record in my new name :P.
