My friend needed a sudden ride to work for a meeting. I had no time to get ready just threw on a jacket, hat, sunglasses, scarf and headed out. I ran into the grocery store to grap some coffee and milk.. well I am all smiles  now because the clerk lady said, "would you like your receipt ma'am " 

I even talked to her before she said that, I kept my voice quiet but I had asked if the milk was on sale. Apparently I did not sound like a guy, thats good!!

YAY!!!!!

I just had to tell someone, so I am telling you all, hehe. I totally did not expect it, and my painted nails were covered under my gloves too. No makeup, guy sunglasses ... haha I feel so good now!

Life's little moments

Amazing, it feels good isnt

I was at a Portuguese supermarket with one of my girlfriends and this lady on the counter asked us "is there anything you need Senoritas"
My friend looked at me and we both smiled at her

Big hugs girl xo

Congrats! I would like for someone to say ma'am to me while I'm out. My face looks far too male right now even with makeup

It is a good feeling, huh?  I get ma'amed more and more myself. I am approaching "male fail" and some people can't figure me out.

me at a store asking an employee "Excuse me..."

employee: "How can I help you ma..uh..su..uh"

I am not full time yet and wear regular guy jeans and regular guy shirts.

That's so great Jade! I'm so happy for you. ^_^

I live in a smaller town, so it tends to be hit and miss for me. Especially because I'm pretty well-know in certain circles, and they're still getting used to the real me. When it does happen, it's such a wonderful feeling. 

I went home to visit family over Christmas, which involved flying. I've never been great with airports, they really stress me out. What with being full-time now (and earlyish in my transition), I was pretty paranoid about dealing with airport security/staff. I didn't want to have to deal with awkward questions about my IDs not matching yet. Turns out I had absolutely nothing to worry about! The short time I dealt with any airport staff, I lost count of how many times I got called miss/ma'am and even madame. Everyone was very polite, no rude comments or anything. Made what I worried was going to be an unbearable trip MUCH nicer. ^_^
