So...... on Thursday night I went out alone in girl mode and went shopping for the first time! 


I actually went out the night before and ran thru a drive-thru with no problems and it left me wanting more, so I decided to go out the next night to get gas. Well, just getting gas didn't cut it... it was late and with no place else open I headed to Wal-Mart. I got there anre there were quite a few redneck guys in the parking lot, I figured I'd wait them out before I went in, a few minutes later they left...... and some more showed up! I sat there in the car for every bit of 45 minutes, felt like chickening out, but it hit me..... I'm transitioning.... it won't be too long before girl mode is my only mode, might as well make this my first step into that!

Long story sorta shorter, I went in and shopped around in the womens section for maybe half an hour, two employees were floating around the area stocking, but they never gave me a second look. I ended up finding some more pajama pants like I already have, a super cute pair of jeans, and the most comfy and cute car coat, which was great because I had no girly coat at all until that point. I grabbed everything, went thru the checkout, there was a guy in line behind me, but neither he or the checkout girl noticed anything odd with me at all despite my horrible voice.


All in all everything went fantastic, I can't believe it went so smoothly! Sinice then I've been out in girl mode every evening, haven't done any more shopping (Wal-Mart made me broke ) but I have been thru another drive thru and once more everything went smoothly. I'm so inspired I think I'm going to go to my first appt. at the TG clinic next week in girl mode, might as well right?!

Anyway, I have to share a pic or two of what I bought:






The coat is grey despite how it looks in the pic and soooooo comfortable! I love the detail on the jeans, they were on sale too!

Anway, I'll stop rambling.... I had to share with someone!

Congratulations girl! I just went through a similar experience at Kohls! I bought a bra by myself, not hiding it in my mom's cart. I also bought a sliming suit! It is a high, is it not? 


Love that sweater! You sort of look like Paige from Degrassi!

Girl... What are you doing?

You look like you pass very well right now! You should go full time and focus on getting wherever you want to be in your life! Look at you!

Ah  the first shopping trip.  How I remember it well.  And Surprise no one cares.  Love the sweater. Miss_Anthropic.  I really would like to go shopping.

Great job on your progress. Please be careful going out at night. I'm not sure how late you went out, but remember that going out alone at night can be dangerous for any woman.

I really enjoyed reading that! congrats in the step forward, and  solid one at that!  Love your choice in sweater it looks really comfy!

Wow, your hair is simply to die for!

And you haven't started HRT yet? wow again.  Well I agree you pass now, look out world when you get all done!

I really like the coat and jeans. Great taste! 

Honey,

There isn't a person looking at your pics would say anything but woman.

And yes your hair is gorgeous.

Now to shop till you drop.

Cindy

you look great so no reason why anyone should hassle you.
Hard to imagine there is a really horribly male voice in you.

Personally I don't think you have anything to worry about.  You look like an  old GF of mine when she was younger.  Love the coat and the jeans detail too. 

That is awesome, and you look wonderful!

Jennifer

You look great! You should be full time as previously posted. Have fun, good luck, you look wonderful.

Hugs

Hi sweety

You sad they didn't give you a second look.
Are they nuts or something....honey you're worth a second look.
Don't they like pretty girls in walmart

hugs

I was thinking along the same lines as annette.

I have always thought of you as a very striking young lady.

But really proud for you. Quite a big step and you made it.

High five!

The first shopping trip is always a big milestone

Good lord! Your room is a mess!
Sorry. Thats the Mom in me.....

I agree with the others. I see no male in your pic (B&*^%h).

Congratulations!

btw....are you full time? I mean...I don't see anyway you have a "boy mode" and I don't think you'd ever pass as a boy.. :S

You must be having us on I think, because from your photos I would genuinely say that you were never male at all.

If you aren't already fully transitioned then why on earth not because from those photos there simply isn't a hope in hell that anyone but a blind idiot could ever see you as anything but female. Honestly I really mean that!

If you really aren't transitioned, and I really can't see how you could ever get away with walking into a men's room looking like that, then you should definitely think seriously about transitioning any time you like.

I seriously second this. I'm so jealous!
