I took a shower, shaved my beard off, put on a really pretty pair of panties with black leggings, cowboy boots, a pretty pink sweater my, wig and of course make up. I went to Food Lion to buy groceries.
A really nice looking gentleman actually tried to pick me up I think. YES I am so thrilled right now.
I was so scared at first so I drank some wine to relax me.
Yippee! You can do it. The fun is just beginning. Good for you Jonie!
I'm happy for you, getting out is nerve racking at first but after time it becomes quite normal and fun.

It may of course be a bit disturbing to sense that one is really not so firmly anchored to the gender one was born into.
Fabulous, go Girl! Really happy for you x
OMG!! Owning my femininity .... and I LOVE it!
Great...good for you...it will only get better each time now
Yay!!! So happy for you!!
Congrats! Sounds like good therapy! Are you gonna keep your beard shaved or was this a one time outing?

Congrats Jonie, The first time must be the hardest, but each time that is positive for you, will build your confidence,and a confident girl becomes less likely to out herself. best always
Good for you, Jonie. Glad you had fun.
way to go GIRL, have fun and do it again and take some pictures to document your progress.
Yes shaving off the beard helps a lot. :-)
Glad to see it was a good outing.
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.
After you shave you can still see where the beard is in my case. I found that if you buy beard consealer it hides it well. You just need to buy the right tone for your skin.
Was the guy a Granny chaser?
I am glad you got out and enjoyed yourself.
At my age, going out dressed as a "girl is not possible. The best I can try for is "woman".
Glad you had fun. Next, get some proper women's shoes and breast forms.
Jonie, you didn't mention breast forms or a skirt over the leggings, the best way to pass or blend is all out or not at all. If you dress androgynous and you are seen as a male the more female items you add brings more attention. Try all out.
After having a well trimmed beard most of my life, finally shaving it off was the start of Samantha getting out in public. It was a liberating and defining moment.
I've never gone out dressed in my home town. That will be a big step for me - if I ever take it!

So happy for you Jonie that it went well! Going out the first time is pretty nerve wracking! Like your destination I have not been to a grocery yet.
congratulations. I too was like you in that I started out with a beard. I'm beardless and I've gone out a few times. I know how wonderful it feels having recently been there. It just feels better every time for me so far. Hope the same happens for you!
