Title: I Actually Presented as Female in Public Tonight..
Post by: rlacy2018 on November 12, 2018, 07:25:10 PM
It's really empowering. Terrifying, but really empowering. I'm 2 months on HRT, 19 years old, and I went to my college and a couple stores dressed in a female shirt and a bra. I kinda avoided people I know, but I'm still taking this as a win. :) I don't really pass perfectly yet, but I'm getting there, and this is an exciting step. I really wanna thank all of you for being there for me, it really means so much to have y'all's support. Love ya girls! <3

Good for you.

I know that feeling of absolute joy...even though I wouldn't pass to a partially-sighted pensioner who left their glasses at home on a dark night during a power blackout

Just a few years ago, I was doing the same thing. Wearing a bra in public was terrifying.

Then I made the decision to transition and now I wonder how I have gotten so upset about just a few little items of clothing. It seems like whatever clothes I am wearing is no big deal.

Thanks for the feedback! I think I'm gonna start going full time soon, I just haven't decided on a name fully or told my grandparents haha. But yes, I've come to realize that most people really don't care, sure there are the few that want to hurt us for no reason, but a lot of people don't really care.

Awesome.   I have started venturing out fully made up now that I have come out. I go to all my doctors appointments presenting as a woman. I dont get "excited" or "nervous" ....I just feel right.....comfortable, like thats the way its supposed to be.

Keep moving forward.
