      I just got back from a family wedding.  I’m still on a high as I’ve just had one of the best days of my life! Last year I went to a family wedding in a man’s suit and I was miserable.  I vowed I would never do that again.  This year I went in a dress.  And I felt fabulous!  The dress is full length and green and black.  I got so much love and support from most of the family.  The notable exceptions were the wife’s aunt and uncle who were barely civil to me and pretty much avoided me.  Their faces made it clear what they thought of me.  That wasn’t going to spoil my day though.

      From the moment we arrived at the hotel I felt comfortable and relaxed.  The party afterwards was lively and fun and the wine flowed freely.  Even going to the ladies bathroom was a good experience.  There were several women in there and none of them made me feel I didn’t belong in there.  A couple of them even smiled at me.  Using the ladies room has always been something I try to avoid if I can as I’ve heard so many stories of hostility to trans women.

      I had considered taking the ‘safe’ option and wearing a pant suit instead but I’m so glad I opted to wear the dress.  All in all it was a fabulous day!

      Dear Diana: thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful story! I’m no where near there yet… But maybe one day? It’s certainly so encouraging to read such a positive story: thanks again!

      Love Gabby xx

        Two years ago I was where you are now.  I couldn’t imagine doing what I did yesterday.  Even last year I went to a wedding in a men’s suit! Dare to dream because yesterday I felt amazing!

      It is an inevitability that there are those that disapprove of who we are. However it was clear that those were in a distinct minority and the love of others made them pale into insignificance. They kept out of your way for to enjoy a wonderful occasion and experience.  It seems you enjoyed it more than they did. Thank you for sharing.

      Hi Diana
      Lovely to hear you had a fabulous day most people are quite chilled about seeing girls like us, the older generation can’t get their head around it. Don’t let it linger in your mind they are from an era that it didn’t happen, I look forward to hearing about more successful days out for you.
      Best Wishes
      Sarah xx

        Hi, Sarah. You might be suprised. One of my now BEST friends is a lady -a retired co-worker who is 6 days younger than myself and I am 68. She has been so accepting of Cassie and she even invited me to her Church, have gone there 3 times so far. For Cassie this is a dream coming true.
