Delila,
There was a time when I looked at others on this site who were going out into the public, who were living their true selves and thinking wow I wish that I had their courage but I will never be able to do that. That was in 2004. Since then I have convinced myse;f that dressing is my authentic self and I just go out in to the world with my head held high and with a level of confidence that says to others this is me and I am proud of who I am. The surprising thing that I found is that if I carry myself out in the world as if I belong the there, whether I pass or not, that they just accept me as a female, treat me with friendship, respect and acceptance. Our biggest challenge to getting out there is ourselves.
