Finally Free of worry.

Sounds like you are going where you need to go. Congratulations. You are, as Yogi used to say, "smarter than the average bear!"

Hi Wendae--
Kyra's post got me thinking--I've never had a bad experience in a restaurant, either, and I've been to a lot of them in 11 years of girl outings. Only a few times has a waiter slighted me or my friends in some way, and those were minor--even in male mode, you're not always going to get along with everyone.

Good for you. It is great to go out and be who you are. I have only been out three times myself but I plan to go out more as soon as I get me cast off my broken ankle (that is for another story). The only strange time I had was when I went to the casinos. When I entered the elevator at the Beau Rivage two young ladies gave me a very slight funny look but then ignore me. I went and played some slots and lost a little money. I then went to the coffee shop to get a cup of coffee. There was some commotion behind me with someone saying in a loud voice several times "Look over here!" I just ignored it. The lady who served me the coffee was very polite and seemed to notice I was not a real woman (or maybe it was just me thinking that).

I think most people do not look beyond the clothes. At the casinos there are several people that did not even bat an eye. I even saw many security people who may have looked at me but did not care or did not know who I was. I was very comfortable at that casino and might go back there for dinner one night, but I would like to have at least one person go with me.

Well Congrats on going out. It is a nice feeling I know. Hope all will continue being a nice adventure.

At last my wife went out with me while I was dressed as Wendae. We were going to a TG function and got lost but, it was great having her along. In the past she would get pissed at me for even suggesting it.
Today we went shopping(I was in male mode) and shopped for cosmetics together. I'm so proud of her for being willing to finially being my friend as well as a great wife. We've been married 47 years.

So happy for you! That must be such fun to share those experiences.

Today it was raining and the new acquisitions (white tunic and tan skirt) to my wardrobe would have to debut on another day. I donned purple slacks, paisley blouse and black boots w/3 in heels and set off to my therapist. The rain was very heavy for the first half of the trip and tapered off. It took 45 minutes to get there. I checked in with a new receptionist and took a seat next to a heavy set woman. I had a good session and set off to do some shopping at a Walmart Super Center. I’ve done some shopping as Wendae before but usually it was just a quick stop. Today I took my time a strolled around doing my shopping. What was so great was the utter calm I felt and freedom. I felt great and as we have always said no one pays any attention. They are in their own little worlds. I can’t put into words the elation I felt then and now. I guess it could have been better if I had someone to go with me but my wife still doesn’t want to go shopping with me even tho she did go out with me that one time and there is no one else to turn to.I feel like I’ve been set free. True there are other things Wendae has to do yet and I look forward to these new adventures.
