First time out of the house

Yesterday I drove to the local nature preserve. There were only a few people around. Walked around for a bit, took some photos and enjoyed the sun. This is the first time I have been out of the house en femme. White blouse, skinny jeans and low heels. I was a bit nervous but gradually worrying less and smiling more. The feeling driving back I can only describe as joy. Wow.

Well done. I've yet to go out in public, so can understand the nervousness. Sounds like you did great.

 

Lovely photo btw. Definitely the right day to go out 🌞

What a lovely way to have a day out as yourself!  One of my first journeys was to a local county rose garden.  Your story reminds me of that trip.  Like you i was driving on clouds all the way home!

 

Hugs,

You look absolutely lovely, Nicole. Beautiful in fact.  :)

 

I remember in my intro you commented that I was further down the path to you, no way! You're miles ahead of me! Kudos!

Nicole,

 

It's great to be out and about where no one knows your name, or back story.

 

Just a woman out enjoying the Sun.

 

Hugs,

Hi @Nicole D, “Wow!” is my response too. I can imagine just how wonderful and free that experience felt. I can still remember every detail of my first time out presenting female. Moments like that stick with you for life. I bet at the time you wished that drive back was a little longer but you know now that it won’t be the last time you feel like this. This is the start of some exciting times ahead. The courage to get out and be yourself is so worth it! I’m so happy for you.

 

Congratulations,

Susan R🌷

I remember the first time I did this in the day, not at night under cover of darkness, but out-out to the shops.  No-one batted an eyelid, and after a bit I got the courage to go into a department store and the cashier even recommended some lingerie (I had to buy a bra, so nervous!) I had missed it my haste to be in/out as fast as possible.

 

I have a distinct memory of going back outside and just sitting on a bench, in the centre of town, in the sun, and just feeling normal for the first time in SO long.  I hadn't experienced any of the transphobia that social media leads will have you believe is held by the 'majority'.  Honestly no-one cares, as long as you are not being wacky and strange you get treated like any other by the vast majority of people.

 

I've been presenting femme at work for almost a month now and even though I was 'deadname' for 6 years to these people around me not a single one has missed a beat, and my boss has asked me to go out with her to lunch today to look at makeup etc!  (Apparently there is a Charlotte Tilbury dupe in Primark of all places).

 

You've taken the first step into a much larger world, many congrats, we hope to see you blossom :D

Thank you so much Susan and Jupiter for your support and encouragement. Tomorrow I have my first session with a GT. I think it will be a slow process but I am looking forward to getting the ball rolling.

 

Jupiter, your first trip out sounds wonderful. You're very courageous. I bought my first bra and underwear while dressed male. That was a bit embarrassing but worth it. I'm happy to hear that your workplace is adapting well, you have a great boss. Enjoy your lunch and shopping.

 

Hugs,

Nicole.

When I was only out to a very few, I was buying a pack of camis at the K-Mart.  I looked and a woman I knew from church-type places was behind me and gave me a funny look.  I just smiled, shrugged, paid the cashier, and went on my way.   "The cat's out of the bag now."  LOL

      Do you have a motto or mantra?

      By Mmindy · Posted

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      What are you wearing today?

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      Project 2025

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.

      a friend wants to cook for me

      By Mmindy · Posted

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I don't know what I'd call this

      By atlantis63 · Posted

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

      a friend wants to cook for me

      By atlantis63 · Posted

      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      Project 2025

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      What are you wearing today?

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      Wife of mine pointed out that not getting a haircut for a month looks hideous - weird bald patches.  So back to super- short buzz cut.  This morning I braced, looking in the mirror.  I look like a woman trying to pass as a a guy, maybe  a small-breasted woman with enough T treatment to grow a mustache.    I would not believe me if I read what I write about me.  This is nuts.   White t-shirt: that they sell in the back of WM so you can tie-dye them or otherwise decorate them. They are thick and long lasting and slightly fitted, so that they could be a man's.  I like them.   Jeans, flip flops.   I will no longer point out these are women's.  What else would I wear?
