Just for the record I work on a military base here in Germany, and so every day I have to pass through security and have my ID checked. I always get some looks as my appearance has changed quite dramatically over the last twelve months as I have been living more or less full time. (No male clothes etc, and I wear make up and boots with heels to work).
Anyway, people have been getting my gender wrong as my appearance has been changing, which has been great and a real ego boost of course, and today I got stopped by the gate security who saw my ID and asked, 'Is that your husband's?', lol. What is a girl to do? I simply shrugged, and said, 'Actually, that used to be me!' The poor guy didn't know what to do but let me through anyway.
So I guess it's time I renewed my ID, lol.

PS If you want to boost your confidence, work on a military base as a female. It is full of 'macho' types and their wives and if you can pass smoothly and confidently in that environment, you can do it anywhere!
Every woman is beautiful, some show it with their faces, others show it with their hearts.
