Bravo Chrissy on ditching the wig! I did that too early on. Too hot, uncomfortable, expensive, hassle... I do longingly observe cis women’s smaller foreheads, fuller temple hair. But I have what I have and consider myself fortunate for that. I also agree that being trans and all isn’t everything. These days I just enjoy being out, nicely dressed (appropriately). Today I wore a nice day dress and purple tights as I wanted to look nice as I went to court for a judge to legally change my name, which he did. Then, I did errands, got new passport photos taken at Costco, and attended a variety show this evening. I was a tad overdressed for that but it’s better to be over than under dressed! I look forward to picnics, camping, hiking, this summer. Just out and about.

That is indeed what it's all about :-) When you mentioned not wearing foundation every day anymore I thought about my decision last July to stop wearing wigs - it was such a liberating experience. I don't regret having worn them, I think it's what I needed to get where I was going. But more broadly I like the idea of not everything being about gender - lately more of my activities at school have centered around criminal justice reform, which is a more important issue to me (not that gender isn't important of course), and I like that fact that I get to do those things and feel comfortable doing them as myself - things that I wouldn't have even considered doing back pre-transition
