I have recently come to accept a new label.
In November, I introduced my female presentation to much of my family by photos of me ?dolled up,? and identified myself as a crossdresser. Then in January, I introduced this presentation to my world on the book of Faces. These moments have been met with acceptance and support from anyone who has commented. I haven?t met ANY negativity.
For a brief while, I identified myself as bi/gender-fluid. Through further research, I came to identify myself as pan/gender-fluid. During quarantine, I introduced my split presentation photos of me during Pride month posts in a few larger groups on Facebook. In some of the Native American groups, I was praised as the embodiment of ?Two-Spirit.? I had heard and seen this term before. I dismissed this as it had been more widely associated with ?gay.? Through more research, I have come to learn that it is much more of an umbrella term than I had given it credit for.

For the past few weeks, I have gone out on Sundays for brunch at a local caf? where the servers have seen photos of my feminine presentation. Last weekend, I had the epiphany that the local mask mandate works in my favor. I ventured out to a few other places after brunch, hidden behind the safety of a mask. Today, I received compliments from the staff at the caf? that I look fabulous today.
I am pretty sure that I am going to be venturing out more often in a feminine presentation.
