No dodging the postman this time !

[Teresa]

Helen,
I appreciate you commenting on that difference , that being who is the postman going to tell in my case . These days of course most window cleaners don't use ladders but instead those extended hoses usually run thrrough a pump mounted in their van . Now instead of being seen, any clothes left on an airer near the window will be soaked if a window has been left open . I know from experinece this can happen but in my case I was in my art room , I usually set up near a window , I was happily painting away when I sprayed through an open window by the cleaner , OK it is three floors up and maybe he couldn't see the open window, just as well it wasn't the computer class goodness knows what damage could have been done .

Now I have to admit I haven't cleaned my windows around my bungalow outside yet dressed but I have from the inside .

Rogina,
I don't always know the outings are safe , I just go and do my jobs now . You know fully well I'm gradually getting there it's been a very short time since I separated from my wife and I said at the time there will be occasions when I can't dress , even TSs still have this problem as you can see when you browse their section .
For instance my mother has asked me to take her for a hospital appointment next month , she knows about my dressing now but has made it clear she prefers to see the son she gave birth to , I'm not so insensitive to upset an 88 year old lady are you ?

If you call some my outings safe so far then you've missed something . Only last week I met my art group dressed , before that I went with three others to give a talk on being TG to a full lecture theatre full of NHS delegates , I spoke for ten minutes without notes, all three of us were dressed . I went to my blood donation centre dressed , my new GP only knows me as Teresa as does my estate agent and letting agent . I wouldn't call that playing safe I would say it's pushing the envelope ! To my new town I'm almost 100% Teresa .

Please try and be more considerate to members who are struggling with coming out issues , as I said I post these little stories to give encouragement to others . I really don't find your's or Daisy's replies are going to help anyone , I could say much more on this subject but will respect other members .
