I don't go out dressed female. I would be recognised instantly (I live in a small town in Ireland where people have no understanding of Trans) and I would not pass as a woman. This gets me down sometimes as I would love to be myself out there. So, today I decided it was time to do something about it.
I wore all female underwear (bra, boobs.....the works), female jewellery and perfume. My outer clothes were best described as unisex - remember I was not trying to pass but the breasts, though small, were fairly obvious.
So off I went to the supermarket, did some shopping, chatted with a couple of different clerks and had a really nice time. Nobody took any notice of the little outward signs (boobs, jewellery, perfume etc.) and I felt really good.
You might think that this is no big deal but, to me it has been a big step forward. I love being a woman and it means so much to me now that I can go out as a woman while not trying to pass.
This has been a good day in my life so I thought I would share it with my friends at Susans.
As always, thank you for listening.
Ciara.
Way to do it girl!

Thank you AlyssaRae. This may change my life for the better.
That fist time does feel like a big deal but after that it comes easier and easier until you don't even think about it.
That's amazing! I'm happy for you, I know how it feels to be out there and to be yourself. It feels like real freedom.
That's wonderful, Ciara! I know how happy :) you must feel.
:)

Thank you Marcia. To be honest , I was a little terrified initially but I settled down after a while. I hope that some day I too will not even think about it.

Thank you Kade. You are right, there was such a sense of freedom that I never thought possible. I'm really thrilled that it was such a successful outing.

Thank you Jessica. It all just felt so right. It was my first time really being myself. I'm not sure that I could ever have done it without the support of you all at Susans over the past year.
Congratulations!
That took a lot to do what you did.

Thank you Cynthia. To be honest I was terrified until I got out of the car, but I am so happy that I kept going. There is now a whole new world ahead.
