Recaping my coming out this week

[Ms. Erin]

Hi ladies, tonight is the last night of my vacation and it has been very great. I have come out and it feels so fine.

Any way my last experiences were only better then I could have imagined. I went to a nightclub where they serve dinner and have drag queen performance, it was so cool.

I was wearing a skirt and I constantly remembered what another GG friend told me, the picture of a woman sitting on the restroom, knees close to each other and elbows close to the body. I did good girls, making sure my skirt did not slide up to high and my knees and elbows very close.

Eating my pork chop in a ladies way, small pieces at the time. My makeup is getting better, not perfect or even close, but I feel more confident.

So to recap... my first night out was nervous and in the darkness. Second time out still in the darkness but to the places where people knew my new identity, Rainbow fashion and Ruby Red beauty shop.

Third time I went during the daylight on Saturday, so absolutely no hiding in the darkness and no way to avoid the crowd of people in the mall. I shopped at Target, the Vitamin store and Wawa. I meet the people that knew me as a guy only. It was super and yes some people where looking back at me, but who cares. I have a great attitude and I did not feel any bad fibs.

I just now came home from my forth day out, it was rainy but still daylight at the beginning. I went to fill up the truck with gas and got a coffee. Then I shopped for new heels, nice pair of shiny black 2.5 inch heels, the tows fit okay and it has a pointy end, not round. Then to some more fashion stores and buying one more tights.

To finish my evening I went to the groceries store and just got a few things. I did ran into a couple, man and woman, who asked my number and would like to chat with me, they are open minded and like the way I looked, and just moved to Richmond, so who knows what the future brings.

All in all I had a great time, and my vacation was a success. Intended to come out completely and to get "hands on" experience on being (almost) a woman. And yes I don't have to search no further I know I am a TG, these feeling are so censure and I am the happiest girl in town. Proud to be who I am.

Thanks Ladies you are a great help to my well being. Thanks for all the advise. Now I can only go forward.

Sounds like you had a great time and made some profound strides forward

It's so awesome when you have clarity to know exactly who you are and fully accept yourself. Congratulations!

Let everyone know who is hiding that the only way to come out is to get out, just ask Ms. Erin

[Ms. Erin]

Thank you girls so sweet of you to share my emotions and happiness.

That's great Erin!!
It is so much more fun when you just decide "what the heck" and get out there and be who you want to be. Now you will be doing it all the time.

[Ms. Erin]

Oh yes Ralitsa dear, I now only shop en femme. Anything, except perhaps some needed groceries on my way to work where testosterones are way to much in control. (not mine)

Although I am itching to come out and tell them at work.

[Ralitsa]

That's wonderful Erin! I know that the only regret you will ever have is waiting so long to do it Well that, and maybe missing out on a great sale

I never exactly told anyone at my work. One evening I was going to meet a friend whom I also worked with for some beer and wings, and I decided to wear a new dress I had recently bought. So after about 5 minutes of idle chat he finally says "So you're wearing a dress, why is that?" To which I replied, "because it's really comfortable and looks great on me!" Well he doesn't care at all, and his wife thinks it's great and wants to take me shopping
The interesting thing is, you find out who is really a friend and who is not. So when you decide to let the guys at work find out, I think you will be surprised about who has a problem with it and who doesn't.
