OK I just really felt like coming out here, to the library where I volunteer at, not really totally en-femme per say (although I have this long skirt I'd love to wear), but my nails are painted black, have a headband in my hair (it is short but getting to wear I can comb it back), a bra & sleeveless top (used a femme dress jacket to cover it), woman's denim slacks (cuffed up a little capri-style) ... and I was so scared to death and still am and it's like what's the big deal? Why can't I just wear what I want? (Maybe wouldn't be a big deal, but the other day & at another time one of the library supervisors asked why I have my nails painted, and I refused to answer...)
I know I feel like "welcome to earth, sister" but I just wanted to get this out in the open. Thanks for reading, and I wish I had more to contribute to everyone's posts ... take care. BrendaB.
