[Sarah L]

Hello.

Public apearance in the daylight. I bet you don't have the guts, We need pics to prove you did it. :heehee

Why do you need a "dare" from the forum? Going out is fun, exciting, satisfying, all by itself. You have to choose this for yourself or you might have a experience you didn't plan for

Did you ever do one of those things where you say something like: "If the phone rings in 5 minutes, I'll have pizza for dinner."? It's something like that.
I have been dared! Out the door I go!

Well have fun, but to answer your question: nope.

If daring yourself is the only way for you to make a baby step, then I dare you to do it again ;) remember, pictures or it never happened lol

[Beverley Sims]

Walk out the front door in a dress, wig and heels, hold your hands in the air and yell "yay", then you can go back inside.

I dare you!

Hello.

Well, I survived to some extent (my feet and legs are not too happy with me).

This was kind of a New Year's Resolution. I have been out before, but it was always different. It was more of an adventure. I was always nervous and never sure if I could go through with it.

I wanted to go out and be myself. I wanted it to be as normal as possible. I'm not having some experience, I'm just shopping. No big deal. I just happen to be wearing a skirt (and makeup and stockings and etc...)

For this reason, I didn't take any pictures. I took along one of those throwaway cameras, but never got it out.

I went to target and bought some stuff I needed. Of course, I found a beautiful skirt and picked it up, too. Did anyone notice me? I have no idea. I don't care. I felt pretty good. One interesting thing is that my walk was great! I have never walked as well in women's shoes as I did today. Usually, my walk falls apart about five feet from the car. Not today. Amazing what confidence will do for you!

At Macy's I found a really nice skirt for $8 (regularly $60). That baby went home with me! I walked across to the other end of the mall to a shoe store. It wasn't open and they didn't have any store hours posted.

I went to another shoe store and spent about an hour in there. I bought a pair that I don't exactly love the look of, but they are real comfortable.

Finally Walmart. Bought some panties and a couple of nightgowns that look warmer than what I have (it got down to 14 last night). I got into one of the speedy checkout lanes and stood for about a half hour. Somebody's credit card wasn't working or something. I thought about getting into a self checkout, but I wanted to stand in front of a real person and pay for my stuff.

I bought gas and went home.

I was hoping my neighbor would be outside. I am ready to let the people around me know about Sarah. I don't have a garage, so when I go out as Sarah, I'm in view of my neighbors. They are gonna see me eventually and I'd rather make it known that I am not ashamed and I am not hiding anymore.

Don't worry, this isn't pink fog. I've had that before, I know what it feels like. I am not planning to run down the street shouting:"Look at me! Look at me!" I am only planning to tell people who are going to find out anyway.

In 2010, I spent Halloween weekend out and about as Sarah (I was out of town). I remember getting out of the car in a dress and not caring and thinking :"This is what freedom feels like." But that was at Halloween. Everybody's got a reason to be dressed like a girl on Halloween.

I didn't think anything like that when I was out. I just felt normal and confident. When I got home and sat down, however, I did think:"This is what freedom feels like."

It's now up to me (and nobody else) to fulfill my resolution and be myself whether I am home or out shopping or whatever.

Thank you to everyone who responded to my thread. Everyone on this message board made it possible for me to do this today.

[Sandra1746]

Yes, this IS what freedom feels like. And it is wonderful.

Best wishes for a Happy New Year,
Sandra1746

Wow that's great Sarah, your story has got me thinking of doing it too. I'm just not that confident yet. Someday I will and I hope it's as good as your outing.

Maybe we should dare you! ;)
