The Day I Knew I Passed

[Guest bronx]

I'm writing this to maybe help some of the younger guys with the anticipation of "okay am I pasing?" So I'm just gonna talk about my experience, hope it helps. In the 90's I decided to start living as a man full time, I stated to bind and I made a homemade urine device so I could use the mens room. I cut my hair about as boy as I could and started asking all of my friends to call me he. I started trying to teach myself to speak in a lower tone and not to be so wordy when I spoke. DiD I pass? Sometimes I did I found that in The gay and Lesbian Community it was a no go, But when I was not in that community and I kept my mouth shut yeah, most of the times. I used to go into the mens room and do what I had to do as quickly as I could hoping know one would figure me out. I looked very young for my age I was 26 at the time and looked 15. Fast forward 10 years later. I started taking T and my voice dropped But I still didn't pass 100%, My body started to change I felt happy with myself for the first time in my life. I had Arrived Did I pass. NO not 100%. I grew facial hair not to much but I had a mustach (dirt) and side burns, still I was called "she" at times. Then One day I woke up about 8mos in I woke up next to my wife and she said "oh my God"!!! I was like what. She was like you look like a guy. That day I went out to work and as I was riding back home on the train people were reacting to me diffrently. no longer was I getting that what is that look, the stare trying to figure me out. Men were walking by me giving me the head nod and women became oddly flirtacios. I ran home and told my wife. I sat down and just played the tape in my head over and over. I pass 100% now. The next day I went to the lgbt community center 'cause I knew that was the true test. Yeah I passed 100%. So guess what I'm saying is that you will know when you do. Life becomes free.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL
