so, i was at the mall killing time before my hair appointment, and this gay guy who looked like he might be in high school started talking to me, and was sort of flirting. immediately, i asked him how old he was, and it turned out that he was just a year younger than me, and he joked that we both have baby faces, so i just came out to him as transsexual. i could see it surprised him at first, which he later confirmed, but he was cool with it, and we smoked a cigarette together. then i went to my apt and asked for a men's hair cut, and after clarifying that i really do want to look like a man, my stylist was real sweet and gave me an awesome cut. and i pass a whole lot better now! most people are treating me like a young boy now, whereas before i passed about 30% of the time. so, i'm happy! 8)
Always nice to hear happy things like this because I remember all too well what it was like trying to pass.
Congrats man, its amazing to find accepting people out there. Glad to hear your haircut is helping you pass more!
Awesome to hear that the hair is helping you pass better! Now I'm anxious for my own hair appointment!
thanks!
and i just got home from my first support group meeting- the first time I've ever met other transgender people in real life. i was terrified and barely said anything, but it was great! it was really encouraging to meet other people in real life who really believed me. anyway, it was a great day! ;D
