Title: First Time using my pronouns in Public!
Post by: JannaLM on November 25, 2018, 08:55:40 AM
Hey everyone!

I think I made a big step yesterday!

A friend of mine and her girlfriend took me out to Sephora to try some makeup I might like, and they introduced me to one of the workers there as "She/her". I was a little nervous at the time because I was presenting somewhat male, so I was scared of being harassed or judged or whatever. Then I was taken away by the store rep and she was super nice and understanding! She found me a nice foundation that matches my skin and asked me my preferred pronouns, to which I happily said "She/her please!"

It was a fantastic day and I felt so happy to actually be myself out in public for once!

Next step: Redoing most of my wardrobe.

Congratulations. I went to Sephora in 2015 and had an awesome experience. I generally go to Urban Decay but I like Bare Minerals eye shadow the best. All the places are super nice and helpful.

I am so happy your friend is helping you. :)
