gabinewgirlI went out dressed for the first time last week. I should have been more nervous about it but somehow I wasn’t. I made an appointment at a nails salon to get my eyebrows waxed since I didn’t know where to start. I also made an appointment at the same time to get a manicure.
I set up the appointment online and it had a comments section so I wrote that I’m a transgender female, starting transition, and presenting as a man. But I really felt like going out in something simple but definitely feminine. They were very nice to me, no comments on my gender, and only one gal getting a pedicure looked my way a couple of times. It was a good experience, and I had to keep reminding myself to sit up straight (I do tend to slouch) and keep my knees together when not crossing my legs — which is still hard to do. It’s the first time I’ve received a professional manicure and my nails look great now! And the massage was relaxing too. This salon is actually close to where I’ve lived before but I was comfortable in my clothes and comfortable walking down the sidewalk saying “hi” to people.
I’ve gone out twice since then. Once to my doctor’s office, where they know I’m trans, but last night I went shopping in a more public place. Again, I’m either not bothered by looks I get, but I’m not getting many of the looks I feared. It was a very good experience, and good advice to go for the eyebrow waxing.
