"Y'know, I bet if *you* wanted to go out dressed like that, you wouldnt have the guts!"
I've wondered if some of the acceptance I've encountered dressed isn't due somewhat to having the balls to walk out fully dressed?

I have seen people whisper and elbow each other on the bus, but nothing really overt. I get far more positive comments (like "you're beautiful", "you look great", etc) than obvious negative reactions. I've noticed too that as I get better at makeup and more comfortable out dressed, the women seem to stare at me less on the street, so I'm guessing I'm passing better.

All the Best,
