Yesterday I went along to the salon I regularly attend. Last week it was a full body massage, yesterday it was for a one-hour pamper facial. It was heaven.
At the massage session last week I was talking to the girl about the ball I'd been to and she asked what sort of dress I wore. I told her about it and said I'd bring in some photos. Yesterday I did just that.
For two of the ladies it was the first time they'd seen a picture of me en femme, though we've spoken about it. They all complimented me on the dress and how I looked. To have ladies who work in the 'beauty industry' tell me that my makeup looked wonderful was a real boost. I gave full credit to my wife for being my guiding light and mentor.
We can all be our own harshest critics so to have people make such positive comments when they could easily have said nothing, was a wonderful thing.
You all know I hate the term "passing" and there is all the evidence you need that it's not important. One does not need to 'pass' to look nice and to be accepted.
I tend to think of "needing approval" as more of a female trait, probably because I grew up in an area (West Texas) where men were supposed to be extremely self reliant and sure of themselves. It seems to me that "passing" in someway represents that need to be accepted (approved) that gains more importance as we experience the world more as a woman would. I have a hard time seeing myself as ever "passing" and my journey will be fine if I never get there, but there is a part of me that really wants to be accepted or approved of as a woman. I'm really happy to hear you get that approval, Jane.
