The Pride group at the local university is putting on a movie: 'Carol' (Cate Blanchett). My wife and I were planning to go, just because we like going out to movies, and as a chance to meet some of the people in the group. My therapist was telling me that I need to start going out as Kathy. So, (Duh!) it suddenly occurred to me that this is the perfect opportunity for Kathy to go out.
I'm not really ready. I don't have a wig yet, and my male hair is definitely not passable (too thin on top). I have no makeup skills, and my wife is the first to admit that she doesn't either, so I will be going sans makeup. And my 'moobs' are nothing to brag about.
But what the heck. It's a movie - the lights will be low. And the crowd is unlikely to be hostile: two of the organizers in the Pride group are trans.
I'll be wearing wine-red cords and a gray cardigan over a black T-shirt, and my birthday present necklace. I think it'll be fun.
