passing or self accepting?

    ive been going out and about as kind of a hybrid lately, wearing fem clothes (not skirts yet), and a little make up, but in no way trying to pass. the reason for this is because i have a long way to go with my voice, and i dont want to not be able to talk.

     

    the thing is, im not nervous, or self consious in any way, and have noticed a big change in the way people talk to me. they are much kinder, ang softer. and ive been told i act different as well. in the same way others are to me. is this because i can relax and be more myself? or is it in response to how other people are? im not sure, but i really like it what ever the reason.

     

    most of my friends know, and ive now set up a FB page and have all of them as friends, a big step, as i have a few pics of me. i havent met any one i work with yet, and im kind of dreading that day. im not making things a secret, and wander around my local town, im just not anouncing it to the world.

     

    work, thats been a funny one. apparently, there are rumours going around about me. i wear nail varnish to work, nothing bright, and i have my brows plucked, so i guess it doesnt take a genious to start a little suspicion, but the ass mngr has asked the boss, (who i have told) if i am trans. thats a big leap, how he figured that one out, i'll never know. HR now know as well, tho ive yet to talk to them. going to try tomorrow.

     

    just need my apointment to hurry up now, every thing else is amazing. im actually really happy right now, hope is wonderful. the future is looking like a very exciting place.

  • Christina Rose Thank you for sharing this Stephie. I will try something similar. I already have a very metro look. How do you pluck your eyebrows so they have a nice feminine shape? *hugs*
  • Stephie Hughes I'm told i dont do a bad job with them, just kinda did it one day haha. People at work asked if I'd got drunk but I told them I did it, because they were mine, and i couldn't think of a reason why I shouldn't haha. X
