Keri, I am so happy for you! Be safe, but have as much fun as you can.
When I started this journey, I was not interested in men at all. Not at all.
I am not one who is constantly worrying about "passing", at least not in the usual sense. It is so much more important to me that people can feel easy and comfortable around me, and I put much more effort and attention into my own little "social engineering" skills than into forced attempts to become undetectable as trans.
There has been a lot of negative attention when I started presenting as female in public, but advances in my sense of fashion, my poise and attitude have put that to rest for the most part.
Now I find not only that men are slowly becoming interested in me, but, to my great surprise, I am liking it!
So my next personality development goal is to become more approachable, desirable, fetching and irresistible and see what happens. I am still very insecure in my self assessment regarding my voice, my body and my personality, but I will always try to grow with my challenges.
In the few months remaining before your surgery you will feel more and more apprehensive, and everything you feel during that time will forever become etched into your memory. Enjoy that time, there is so much you can experience, so much you can learn, so many hearts you can break, or at least crack a tiny little bit! ;-)
