Got up at 5:am today and started to get ready for my en-femme Saturday. Between my coffee and taking care of the dog, reading the paper and numerous trips to the bathroom to keep going on with my prep, finally dressed and made the front door by 10:30. Walking around my Khol's store looking for a skirt or two I wandered into the lingerie section and while looking at some body shapers, I seem to have acquired some back fat and bra overhang if you know what I mean, a SA about my age maybe a little younger approached me and just started a conversation about the various brands and how they work for her needs. I must say I was taken aback but recovered quickly and continued the discussion as if it was the most natural thing in the world for me to be doing. She at one time stated that she thought I really didn't need too much "squeezing" to which I replied that I just needed to make sure my padding stayed in place all day. Why was I telling her such details, I was no longer a male CDer, I was a female being and opening up to another female as if we were "sisters" under the skin. I was in the moment again and when I continued to shop I felt totally natural and in a good place. I then had a pleasant conversation with the cashier about my purchases and received a discount for using my Kohl's card and a 20% off coupon plus $10.00 off for my purchase over $50.00. I than visited some more stores and shopped but bought only a winter coat,nothing more. Tomorrow I'm finishing my shopping with DSW, and payless than who knows what. No male me this weekend and how relaxing it is. Why did I live in denial for so long? and stay hidden inside.
