I've taken one tiny little step on my journey.  I got my ears pierced!  I wanted to do it for so long and was always worrying what people might think.  OK...Most of you are thinking so what.  It's not like you have to be a woman to have pierced ears.  Lot of men have them, even manly men.  But it's a big deal for me.  I think I would have had my ears pierced when I was 10 or 12 if I was a girl.  Now days I think girls get them done when they are 5.  I feel like I missed out on years of being able to wear them.  But it's done...I feel great about it and I can get rid of all those torturous clip-ons  I've bought over the years.  Just feeling a tiny bit closer.

Congrats! This is a great step!

This was a big step for me too! So I feel you!!! In fact, somehow in my mind, I worked this up to be more serious than HRT (no need to tell me how silly that is) I started HRT a few weeks before I got my ears pierced.
