First time out as myself...FINALLY

[Guest Emily_MI]

Well after many times procrastinating I FINALLY went out today as my true self as Emilee. Nothing special but just want to a movie with a girlfriend of mine, but I finally got up the courage to finally get out there. Sorry for the bad camera quality/angle's but here are some pics showing below, any ides, suggestions and critiques welcome :-)

Congratulations . It's nice to get out.

Ideas and suggestions? - Just keep going - you will find by experience and gain confidence! As I am finding - it is often more how you act and feel that makes the difference. I find I can wear the same things on different occasions but seem to be accepted better sometimes than others. One thing I learnt during my short period in the military - If you act like you own the place people will think you do! - think in those terms!

If all went well then all is well. You maybe have some ideas but your confidence will increase - it is too easy to over scrutinise!

Look for many more days out - I wish all to go well

Honestly, its not bad for a first outing. I can say for sure you look more fem than I did on my first time out. I looked like a male football player with a bad haircut wearing eye shadow. Lucky for me my first time out was to a gay bar where being passable was not a factor. My second time was at a mall right before closing and i think about only three people were left in the mall.

My third time was at a Walmart and I still remember getting clocked horribly. Lol

LOL - That was my fear that I would end up looking something like this. One of my biggest fears is not able to pass successfully; which I know is just more then the physical and has more to do with confidence, attitude and several other things. I think my first step though was a successful one since I felt pretty confident and did not have any bad experiences or anything. :-)
