I've been slowly going out, first to drive around town, then to a gay bar. Finally, back in August, I took the plunge and took a roadtrip to OKC, a four hour drive, and spent the whole trip en femme. It was at once nerve wracking and exhilarating! I've gone to Dallas a couple of months ago, though I couldn't spend the whole time dressed, I went with a friend to the Arboretum and then went shopping. This past week I went to the movies here in town, not stressing that someone I know might see me. It gets easier every time I go out.
