I guess I'm a little slow on the progression but I finally got the courage to go. While I have been on hormones for almost 15 years and dress as Natasha at home, I have never gone out dressed nor met others as Natasha. My wife and kids do know that I am transgender, but never have I introduced myself to strangers. Im almost giddy that I did it!!!! Finally finally!! Im starting to crack the "shell" a little further. I have read many of your stories/situations over the years that have helped me gain the courage to take this step.... Yay!!!!
