Rita, we're about as opposite as can be. I'm out and about all the time around here (all over OC and over to Long Beach), have been on hormones for about 6 months, everyone calls me Ann, etc. etc. But my wife is wanting me to hide and won't be seen with me in public dressed like that. (But it's getting harder and harder to hide who I am.)
I can understand your misgivings, having heard pretty much the same from my wife. You need to be in your comfort zone, so stick with your decision. I so wish my wife was as supportive as yours! I'd be up there on the float in a heartbeat!
I do hope I can make it for at least part of the weekend. I've never been before, and it sounds like so much fun!
Ann
