I wonder how often this happens.

As I think for a lot of us our first time "OUT" is Halloween and over the years I have had varying degrees of success passing as a woman. This year was different, Steve and I were the Pimp and Ho, he was adorable in a skirt  but he is all man and it wasn't painfully obvious we had fun with it, but for me I dreaded the the thought of trying to be a man....... again so I did my best to "man up" for the part but it just didn't workout.... One woman commented your husband (were not married, but) makes a cute woman but you could never be a man LOL   

I was on clouds the rest of the night 

Yeah, when the weather starts to turn cold like it is now and I have to bundle up to ride my bike to the store... I worry that I'm going to look like a guy

But I was all bundled up the other day and was referred to as a lady and ma'med a couple of times

It did feel good and gave me some reassurance 

Learning that you can't pass as a man anymore is very reassuring.
