Today was a big day for Vicky.  I am not full time and only get out about once a week.

This morning I (as Vicky) went to the local outdoor public tennis courts and hit against the wall to practice.  I wore a long sleeve shirt, white tennis skirt and leggings to cover my muscular legs.

When I got there nobody was there (wew safe and secure...).  Anyway about 8:30am a woman came onto the courts and started hitting against the wall on the court next to me.  I was nervous but I said to her do you want to rally? and we did for 45 minutes.  I was in heaven playing tennis as VICKY !!! yes!

I was very concerned that maybe she could read me I intentionally did not hit it too hard but about a 75% pace.  She was pretty good so we had a good time.  She asked where I played and I said so (where I play in Drab mode of course) and as it turns out she is a member there too.  Agghh!! panic!!  Its a very large tennis club (20 courts) I was worried she would ask me to play on her team there.  Then what would I say....  But the conversation did not go that route so all went well.  I said good by and left.

I might play again Thursday am with her again as she will be there every day this week.  I really wonder if she could tell.  If she did she did not let on.  Then I thought even if she could tell she still got a good practice in.  So maybe she did not care.  I almost wanted to ask her after we were done if she knew I was not female.

Anyway that's my big story it was a huge milestone for me.

I guess I cant attach a picture taken at the courts otherwise I would.

Hi Vicky,

I agree with you, a huge victory, that all the lady saw is you as a lady. Congratulations.

Re photos, if you have a storage place online like I use in Photobucket, if you had a picture taken there should be no reason why you can't post it. There are several threads running featuring pics.

Wow Vicky,that is fantastic.Like you said she obviously wasn't bothered even on the chance she did know.
How nice to get out and make friends as your true self.You must have been on cloud nine.
You are an encouragement to me.Thank you.

Great news, congratulations.  I wouldn't worry too much about muscular legs, she was probably jealous.

But you ARE female. 

Meh, lots of women are muscular these days, look at the Olympic games. Nothing wrong with the Athletic type of shape, everyone has different body shapes and types, were all not cast as one mold. Vicky you did really well, and its a great step forward for you, to living your life fully as who you know you really are.
