I will hit a big milestone in my transition in three weeks - beginning to work as Sara. Everyone has been told and the response has been supportive and positive. I am very excited. I work in an office environment where we all sit in front of our computers all day and do not really have to interact with any clients. For this reason the attire for everyone is very casual. The women typically wear jeans and sneakers, typically with a plain top or sweater. Rarely do any of the women wear make up aside from perhaps a little foundation. This puts me into a bit of an awkward position. On that specific day in three weeks time, all my colleagues will be expecting me to walk into the office as a woman. If I want to fit in with the other women though, I will pretty much look like a guy wearing a wig. When I go out in public I always wear some make up to try to hide my masculine features and look more feminine. I typically wear skirts to hide the lack of any hips. Clearly I do not want to show up to work dressed to the nines because that would clearly be inappropriate. What are your opinions in that matter? What would you do? Dress precisely as the other women do to fit in or go a bit beyond to actually try to present looking as much like a female as possible. I know some of you are very passable so could fit in under any situation, sadly I would be fooling myself if I thought I was one of those lucky ladies. Thank you so much for any input. I greatly appreciate it.
