I was able to go on a trip recently. I dressed pretty (man in a skirt) on the flight to my destination. I arrived at the hotel pretty. I ended up doing something kind of crazy. I went to a conference during this trip and dressed pretty all day. I had to come out to someone that I know in order to do this. It was amazing to be able to leave the hotel dressed pretty, walk to public transit with someone who knows me, ride the train, and spend all day around lots of people while just being free! Other than occasional glances at my outfit, no one reacted any differently to me than on the previous day when I did all of these things in menswear.

One neat aspect of this was that I did not take any "safety clothes". Normally, I start my outings in menswear and change at some point into a dress or skirt. This time, I had no men's clothes with me. I was just out there. I was dressed pretty in public for almost 12 hours.
