The Halfway Point

    April 19th marks the half way (6 month) point of my RLT. It is not as one might imagine, time of consistent experience but an evolving experience which, I have to point out, brings a change to my insight of self with every day that has passed.

    The first month I was preoccupied with just being dressed as Ann at work. I was treated well and was very sensitive to this treatment. As I have before, I say that I was treated in a wonderful way at work and completely accepted. All of the staff made a great effort to get my name right and the pronouns right. Most of the shoppers were accommodating -- a few did seem to look at me oddly, only one had a reaction that was distressing, he laughed out loud.
