Yvonne Out, Day 2

Hello Sweet Sisters,

Well, I just can't believe this is really happening to me now....

Quick background: I'm out of town, on the road in a strange town, nobody knows me. I got a terrific wig that really fits how I want to project myself and I feel great in it. I got new glasses (2 pairs)--the regular style has a nice shape for my face and the metal frame is only at the top and it's a very light purple color, as are the bows. I got some really fun girly sunglasses--a tortoise pattern, heavy plastic frames and large side bows, with some cute embellishments on them. When I first put them on, I thought of the movie "Thelma and Louise" for some reason--they just look fun. Last, I got a serious complete makeover by a real makeup expert and bought all the makeup. I really look terrific, better than I ever have, ever.

So, today I was all over town and no one, I mean no one, even gave me a second look, anywhere. Geeze, so why have I been locked up all these years? I went into the mall store this morning and walked all over the place, no big deal. I went back to cosmetics for a few more things and the girls knew me, so that doesn't count....

Went to Walgreens to pick up my prescription order from yesterday. The girl who helped me place the order didn't recognize me at all until I spoke, then she appeared a little uncomfortable, so it's the voice for sure (well, duh). That means it's NOT the look. Well, knock me down....

I then went to a Subway sandwich for lunch, used my best girl voice and got through it pretty good. The girl behind the counter helped me on purpose and I didn't say too much. I don't have a girl voice of any kind right now, but I had people all around me and no one even looked twice. I sat and ate my sandwich in complete peace inside the shop.

I've been in and out of this motel, walking past all kinds of people. No recognition of any kind. ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE BLIND?!? Ahem, excuse me.

Last night at dinner, I was pretty self conscious about my voice and who I was. I sort of bordered on not too comfortable, but wasn't going to sweat it. Let the world deal with me was my sort-of attitude.

But tonight was my night. I decided that I would be my normal delightful, if somewhat boisterously positive and funny self. So, I went to Red Lobster tonight and the hostess seated me without any fanfare. I did, in fairness, try to at least work a girly voice, which I didn't the night before. Well, my waitress introduced herself to me and I introduced myself to her. She smiled and we had a great deal of fun. She gave me special service all night, because I was going out of my way to eat super low fat/super healthy. Grilled fish with steamed broccoli, pretty much just vinegar on the salad before dinner, no bread or biscuits. Several of the other waitresses talked to me through the night and asked about a pretty necklace I was wearing, just like one of the girls.

At the end of the night, I told the waitress that this was the second night of my new life. She just gave me a funny look and said I'd missed New Year's...... Did she possibly miss who I was?

Now, I'm all ticked off about keeping this girl in a bottle. I'm telling you, preparation and attitude must really be the keys. I've got nice clothes to wear that I had help buying and I look great and others must think so, too.

Look, 40 years locked up in "the hole" is too stiff a sentence for a simple misdemeanor offense. I'm so sorry I waited and I can't believe how wonderful this is.

Phooey!

That is amazing. I am really glad that you had such a good time. I can not wait until I have that kind of confidence. I still get so nervous when i am out that i dont know what to do half the time and half thetime i end up going home before i have run all my errands. Fortunately it is getting better and stories like yours help togiveme confidence that i cando it.

Congratulations!

Wasn't that a wonderful time?

It is still hard for any of us to believe but your attitude and confidence is 90% of passing completely.

I never feel like I can pass but when I am out, I am thinking about where I am going and what I am going to do just like all of the other girls, my mind is everywhere about what i am doing and very seldom even think about passing - so I do.

6'4" morbidly obese and wearing a nice dress - everyone says ma'am and holds doors for me - I am Momma Sally even when I am not on Laura's.

It really works - dare to try!

Love ya,

Sally

      I started estrogen (oral) a little before age 50 and not the maximum dose either and also no blockers. It almost immediately accentuated the feminine features I already had, and expanded my already soft areas of skin, widened my hips and distributed more fat to my thighs and increased my breast size. There seem to be some subtle changes to my face too though I doubt I am any more passable than I was a decade ago, it’s just nice to not use breast forms anymore. I haven’t switched to injections as planned and there really hasn’t been much change after the first 6 months and my body fights back; my E levels dropped and T increased even on the same dose so it has not really done much for me. It sounds like injections are the far better way to go, plus progesterone after a while if the doctor will prescribe that.    As is often said, everyone is unique and one’s mileage may vary, and what works for one person may not for another.

      This is so sad. The violence in general in Washington State seems to have ramped up a lot, and gender-based violence and hate crimes seem to be worse as well. My parents once lived in Renton but I don’t care for that city and never go there. I don’t think it really matters though as crimes like this can happen anywhere and often are perpetrated by a male who was in a prior relationship with the victim.

      I’ve never been in therapy specifically labeled as such, butI think IFS therapy evolved from treatment of dissociative identity disorder in which one’s various alters or parts are treated as an internal family, and each part is like a separate individual who can be spoken to individually or have dialogue with other parts. In a person with full DID, doing that supposedly helps to break down the dissociative barriers that cause that person to not be able to remember what they did for parts of a day or longer. This was the case with me.   Anyone’s mind, though, can be thought of as being compartmentalized to some extent and we all can have an inner child and various aspects of our selves, yet the dissociation is never to a degree that it causes problems like with DID. But the same aspects of working with an internal family or different aspects of self, like the inner child, the rebellious teen, the persecutor parental type, etc, can help heal trauma nonetheless. I think many of us do have sides of us that we don’t like, or others don’t like, and it can be useful to examine how they came about and what purpose they serve as they are often a means of self-protection or coping with anxiety.

      We had soup and steamed rice for dinner tonight.  Simple, basic, feed-a-ton-of-people kind of food.  With strawberries for dessert!  We have a huge strawberry patch, so I spent a couple of hours this afternoon picking.  And there's some left over, which I put in the downstairs kitchenette.  Time for a late night snack!     Outside of meals, I mostly live by nibbling on fruit and a few green things.

      Well, it is officially summer.  85 degrees outside the last two days, and GF is sick and irritable.  I have to curl up under heavy blankets in my nest, because she's got the AC turned down to the point I expect to see icicles growing on the ceiling.  This is what life is like when your partner is an arctic creature. I should be used to it by now, but just when I think its nice and warm, she has to freeze me.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I just can't resist.  Does all that mean that.............the bird is the word? 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Well, that might be interesting.  At least since she's 24, its not like you're on the hook for expenses.
