I surrender...

Ok, I surrender.  I have fought this transgender thing for the past six months.  I have tried to work with my wife, dressing part time.  I have tried accepting that at work I have no chance of being anything by amab.

Enough!

Wife and I had a long talk.  I have a few other issue to work out with my therapist that may or may not be a result of my Disphoria, who knows. But I'm done pretending, masquerading as something I am not.

Today I dressed in women's workout clothes with breast forms and a little concealer (for the beard shadow) and mowed my lawn.  It's not small, no fences, and we have 8 houses we can see from our deck.  I also went to the recycle center dressed.

And I'm beginning to stop hiding on my deck and in my front porch while dressed with breast forms.

I don't know what my immediate future holds for me, as the navy hasn't allowed exceptions to policy yet, but I know DOD policy changes are coming.

But I'm done hiding.  The neighborhood, those who actually look around them, are going to know something is up.  And now I just have to work up the courage to talk to my navy chain of command.

I surrender.  I am girl :-)

Congratulations on coming out. I have known what you looked like when you posted the night out picture but I don't think you will have much trouble passing as a female from either picture. A little hair and makeup work wonders on you.

Went for a walk tonight with the family. Just a short half mile,  but it was a half hour before sunset. In other words,  still daylight.

Was wearing boot cut Jeans,  Grey thin scooped neck shirt, and a padded bra with small forms.  No makeup, no wig.

We encountered one Walker who enjoyed watching my son walk (just over 1 year old) and another neighbor in his yard.

It was exhilarating!
