Yesterday, I tucked with swim bottoms and wore a v neck t-shirt, very short denim shorts, tennis shoes, and a flannel shirt hanging open (because it wasn’t quite short sleeves weather.) But, I got brave (for me) and went outside and worked in the back yard for a few minutes. A number of cars drove by, so I’m sure I was seen, but only from a distance. But, nothing bad happened, no one stopped to call me out or harass me or anything. Nobody cared how I was dressed in my yard anyway.
So, I pushed it a little further. I got in my car and drove to a county park, about 1/2 hour away. The park was not open for the year yet, so there was no one around (but there was a house right across the road that could see. I parked in the entrance and walked around in the upper part of the park that I could get to without going through snow/mud. I sat on a swing, and took a few pictures of my legs stretched out while swinging. Now, I confess, I did throw a pair of jeans in the car, in case of emergency, but I didn’t need them.
This all may not sound like much, but it felt so good to go out and about while expressing myself openly. I really, really wanted to continue the adventure and go walk trails at a park that I knew would be very busy, but didn’t. And honestly, with dark sunglasses and a mask, no one would be able to identify me anyway. Maybe next time…

Hi Birel,
Any step forward, is a big step in the begining. I’m glad you got out to enjoy some time and I’m certain there will be lots more next times.

. Hi Birel. Your right sometimes it is baby step, but sometimes it can be a giant leap. I am sure it was for you the same as it was for me. After reading so many of the stories here at CDH I just wanted to have these experiances for myself. Sometimes it is going out to a nearly deserted place where you might only be seen at a distance. Sometimes going to a business where you will have to interact with others. Best to you, in your next baby step.

Way to go Birel!! I’d hardly call going for a drive and to a park a baby step! It’s so much fun getting out in the world and dressed so you feel like, well, yourself! It’s a brave new world after you take those first steps! Congrats!

Congratulations on stepping out hun! As nerve racking as it can be it’s also exhilarating I find. Which makes it all worth the whole being out en femme. Good luck in your journey and be who you want to be hun! Hugs

Each step takes you towards your goal, however sized. Big or little they’re all important for your journey, and you can’t get there without them all. Your path is your own, and nobody can walk it for you, but we’ll all be there with you. Well done, you!
