The story of your trip brings back early transition memories. People see what they expect to see if the cues are normal and confident. The occasional conspitatorial grin from a passing GG were great.

Welcome to Susan's Ashley!!
Coming to terms with being a trans person is something I had to do too and coming here to Susan's helped me a lot. I hope it helps you too.
I'm happy to make your acquaintance and hope we'll be seeing more from you real soon.
hugs & smiles

The world didn't come to an end.
Isn't it amazing?
Seriously, if there's one lesson I wish I could communicate to everyone who starts this, it would be just that: this thing tends to be a much bigger thing in OUR heads than it is for everyone else. Not always, I realize sometimes people react badly, but overall people just don't seem to care. That STILL astounds me.
Repeat my mantra with me:
"it's amazing what you can get used to!"Quote...and she smiled at me. A conspiratorial smile, like we shared a secret.
Dontcha LOVE it? I was constantly amazed by the reaction of women when I "came out." Hugs, advice, took me to dinner, lol...
QuoteAt any rate, just wanted to say hello to all of you.
And a big hello and welcome to you, Ashley!
