Title: Going as myself
Post by: MeTony on December 08, 2017, 10:06:56 AM
Going to a christmasparty. Going as myself. Wish me luck. None of the people know. Yet. I'll tell my friend though, before the party. She drives me there.

I have black jeans and a black shirt. No tie.

Lots of christmas-parties this year. It's a part-year.

Good luck Tony.  I'm so impressed you are doing this at a Christmas party.  Forgive the phrase, but you've got balls to do it this way:)  I look forward to reading your post wrap up.

Great Tony!!!!! You should go as yourself!!!! I hid my transition for 3 months from anyone till certain features were becoming detectable in my case. It is so much more comfortable to go as oneself places.

Two women looked surprised when they heared me speak. But noone said anything. Yes! People talked to me and were nice. Nothing wierd.

I guess people are so occupied of what happens in their own lifes that they don't notice other things.

But anyway. It was a nice party. Noone got drunk and everyone kept it civilized.

I'm getting more confident in this thing that is being me.

Brilliant news, it's so liberating when you realise how preoccupied people are. X
