Thanks for sharing Emma, the way I see it you are trans* by all means, no question about it and I say that in a good way. And I enjoyed reading this blog entry. IMHO it is not the clothes, heaven forbid I am not one to put on makeup and fancy clothes to say to the world "Hey, I am female". My best friend is relentless in trying to get me to purchase very pretty outfits but I will not have that. I agree to somewhat that it's between "here" that indicates I should be female or I should be male dependent on the person but to me, it's in my head. There are days in the past year I went out to teach a class and wore the appropriate clothes and not even attempt to look female but yeah I did and that is just fine with me. In the end I am comfortable in jeans with my hair in a ponytail. PS I am not one for sitting in a group to hear myself chat with others but instead a willing participant to share knowledge that benefits the group.

Emma, Thank you. I am just taking one step at a time. Taking it slow. Though I just talked with my therapist about reallly transitioning yesterday. She was really surprised that I was so direct with her about it. She said that she would recommend me for transition, just based on what I've told her.

Good to hear you had a good time. In regards to not ready to talk with police, been there, felt the same and can attest that (at least here) the police are compassionate when you are honest and tell the truth. The key is to act naturally and it helps to be dressed no different than a female would be dressed for the same thing you are out for.

Don't know if you ladies know this, but I was taught by a fitter the proper way to put on a bra is to bend over at the waist and drop your breasts into the cups. Firmly agree that EVERY woman should be professionally fitted for her bra at least once a year!
