Got to the venue and saw all the people inside and I was crapping myself with sheer terror.

I've always done this when going to parties or events and found the best thing to do is just walk in and wade into the crowd (then run for the nearest corner screaming in terror and hide under a table or something... well that's what I want to do anyway) most of the time I end up having a good time and meet nice people but I never feel totally comfortable.

the gym is the same way just go in like you own the place (well you sort of do) and do your thing as long as your covered below no one will look at you twice (unless they are interested)

This isnt quite the same but  my experience getting pedies and manies , most women are fine and  will accept you.
Of course there is a bitch in every crowd,and Im sure you have dealt with them before. Im sure you will be telling us how you worried over nothing  Yours is an endeavor I also want to conquer, when I get bigger breasts physically and figuratively ....

just get a bikini on and jump in the pool . they're never notice unless you bring your pet crocodile

This is no different than the first time you screwed up your courage and stepped outside as Grace, or the first time you ventured into the ladies room. Be confident and own it; you deserve to be in there just as much as any other woman. Its just another stepping stone.

As far as the voice goes - my voice is somewhere between male and female and depending on things such as my allergies and how tired I am it can tend toward the male end of things in spite of my efforts to keep the pitch raised. I realized that women are accepting even when they work out who I am via my voice and I stopped worrying about it dropping unexpectedly or resonating in the ladies room. I know that people eventually work out who I am and it doesn't seem to bother anyone because in all other aspects I act like a proper woman; therefore I get a pass on the sketchy voice. Just be your nice, thoughtful, chatty self around other woman and you'll be fine.

As far as the dressing room - come dressed for working out and avoid the dressing room and shower when you get back home - problem solved.

To help keep my wig on, I've grown my hair out some, and I use bobby pins -- one at each temple, and two in the back, one out at each side. I've never had it come off skating, except for that one awkward slam where I was bombing a hill, and my wig wasn't pinned to my hair.

Gosh, I hope your gym is rad, and you're fully accepted there. I'm still super nervous when I have to use the bathroom!

I get those in male mode, polish and all. They just think I'm eccentric.
