After six months of coming to term to who I was, it was time for me to step out and be myself. Last Wednesday, I went to work in my usual work uniform, a wig, makeup, and breast forms. I got to say about this past week. The water is just fine. The first day, I felt like I was walking on clouds. I was finally at peace with myself. It wasn't perfect. My makeup was too understated and I got misgendered about 10 and 15 times. It was something I needed. I did a better job with my makeup and only got misgendered only once or twice a day afterwards. I think I need to work on my voice. I once got misgendered over the phone.
My co-workers and, in fact, everybody that I came out to was great! The reactions ranged from apathetic to supportive. Every once in a while I got someone staring me down in disgust, but they didn't say anything.
The biggest challenge for me was dressing on my days off. On my first day off, I spent over two hours trying on all my femme clothes. To be fair, I only got the breast forms the day before I came out. I got all these clothes before that. So, I had to figure out which dresses and tops I can wear without exposing my forms. It turns out that I can't wear half of my femme clothes with the forms. I guess that means I have to go shopping. On my second day off, which is today, I dawdled too long before I put on my makeup that over half the day is gone. The reason I am typing this post is to let my fingernail polish dry before I leave. However, I won't trade any of these problems with what I was dealing with before embracing who I was. I just need to learn from my mistakes and do better.
Congratulations Jamie, I knew you could do it with any serious issues. I am sooo happy for you.
Onward and upward sweetie!
Lady Veronica
Congratulations !!
Congrats Jaime,
Taking the plunge to go out in public can be horrifying, Good for you Jaime!
Purchasing breast forms are a problem for a lot of CD's. First of we tend to purchase our bra's and other clothed before we purchase them. Good breast forms can be very expensive. These form's require that we take into consideration our chest size as well as the area we want to cover first, so the shape of the form is also critical. Once this is done you can take into consideration the cup size of our bra. Most of us would be well of to get them fitted in a breast form store. I'm no expert so maybe some others can ring in on them too.

The six months, I was referring to, was me figuring out how far I need to go to be true to myself. So, I got these clothes mostly for how they looked and how they fit me without the forms. Hopefully, when I get HRT I can "grow" into those clothes that exposes the forms.
Jamie wonderful, to do this is just amazing. I applaud you and as your second time around, like they say it only gets better. And girl for this it shows it is possible to achieve a goal . To venture out for us is montemental and your experience gives us encouragement which is a big step in our journeys. Thank you for sharing. 🌹
