Having been freed from the need to "crossdress" by a maintenance regimen of estrogen and spiro, I've been presenting myself as entirely male to everyone but my wife for about six years now.
Tonight, I decided to see how it felt after all this time. I stopped at Ross this morning for a few things and put together a pretty nice outfit with what I still have from before. I'm 65, and I dressed as if I had been at the office all day.
The first surprise was that I now have enough on top to fill a bra nicely. I used to use forms, but now I don't need them. The second was that as long as I know I look good I'm not at all nervous about being out in public. I never encountered a problem before, and tonight was just as easy. Because I feel like a female, it seems perfectly natural to be perceived as one. I think the hormones have made it easier, although I hadn't noticed the subtle changes occurring over time.
I strolled along an avenue where people were seated outside at cafes. I went to an ATM where others were coming and going. And I visited a couple of drug stores, buying some makeup items. There was a female clerk at one and a young male at the other, and both were very polite to me.
Anyway, it's no big deal to most of you here - but I thought it was kinda cool to find out I can still pull it off if I want to!
