Bravery Last Weekend

    For many of you, going out en femme may not be a big thing anymore. For me, a newbie, it is a VERY BIG THING. It's big enough that I'm just taking baby steps.

    Last weekend I travelled by car to visit my children. I decided to do something different. I guess you can say that I was female from the waist down. I wore heeled sandals and a flattering dark pair of slacks, plus a well coordinated men's shirt, with no makeup.

    My trip away had stops at a rest area and two convenience stores/gas stations. While I was fueling I noticed a woman giving me a look, but other than that, everything went as if it were perfectly normal. This included going into men's rooms.

    The way back also had ventures into two stores and a rest stop. This time I had no issues at all.

    I admit that what I was doing didn't stand out, but that's exactly what I was trying to do. I wasn't trying to draw attention. I'll save that for another day, when I've got more guts. As it is, my wife has already told me that it was more guts than what she thought I had.

    Thank you for letting me share this small victory. What everybody has said is true. 99% of the other people are too involved with what they are doing to notice or care what you are doing. For me, it was very liberating, even though it was a small step. I can attribute this to the women on this site who have already done this and have explained how it worked for them. Thank you for the encouragement and advice.

    Love, Sami
