I was at the gym in my usual place, over with the big guys using the free weights, like a doofus I forgot the sports bra and tank top I usually wear so I was in shorts and t-shirt, liftin' away and just looking like one of the guys at the small end is all - some huge ol' guys there but I've got muscles too. I ended up talking with this one huge ol' guy about training for surfing, various places and waves, and how come motorcyclists don't wear wrist braces. I have no idea if he realized I'm anything but cismale.

If anyone thinks anything there, they probably think I'm a ->-bleeped-<-gy guy but then there's at least one other ->-bleeped-<-gy guy there whom I know, and not that there's anything wrong with that!

I seem to be doing OK and passing as male more, with my voice changing. I talk and this lower voice comes out, pretty cool actually.

People don't generally know I'm trans, its not something im out about, or want to be really.
Employerwise.... I've not held a full time job yet... we shall see how that pans out, though last few part time jobs ive had its never even come up.

When I originally transitioned, I didn't have many problems w/ general public, people were generally polite, even if they perceived me as a "man in a dress". Work however was another issue, I was fired from one job, and a lot of other self employment work suddenly disappeared.

mine as well has been good. people tend to just go umm..... whatever floats your boat and be nice
