Tomorrow I return to my normal unisex life.  I have had a great time on this last trip to Florida.  My greatest fun was my time on the beach but I also had great fun at the stores and restaurants I went too as I was addressed as "mam" and "lady" at most of these locations.  These encounters really helped me to embrace myself and how I felt.  It was really liberating the feelings of freedom I felt. At the beach, I was at ease the whole time, aware of my form fitting swimsuit and my tuck made me have the ultimate feminine shape, aware of my long hair as the wind caught it, aware of my shaved and lotioned body, aware of my woman shadow/sillowet on the beach; knowing I was being looked at and coded as a female by all around me.  Yes, I was sure I was passing.  As I walked over a mile on the beach I felt deep feelings and the feeding of my woman inside.  I was quite natural in my walk and most of the dozens of beach walkers I passed would wave or say, "good morning" or "hello." There I was just another somewhat pretty older woman walking on the beach with a slight arm swing and lifted sway in her hips.  I also collected some shells and tested the water for swimming. I did get in knee deep but the water was really cold.  For the walk I had just purchased a really nice swimsuit cover-up.  Because of this, I did fit in quite well with those around me as it was cool 60's and as I mentioned the water was fridged.  Thanks Monica for this great idea of the cover garment.  The cover up I bought fit loosely and was almost a beach dress. With this on I really was able to be myself  - natural and confident and I am sure this is why I appeared to pass so well.

I did get a little bit of attention, however. There were some work men who I know were looking me over, my feminine radar could sense l was being checked out.  One of them actually called me to get my attention twice.  Because I was on the other side of a work barrier I was able to keep my distance and not respond to his advance.  

My favorite portion of my 2+ hours of beach time was laying/sitting on my towel and soaking 🌞.  I had a sea gull buddy that stayed about 10 feet away and just hung out with me the whole time.  There were several joggers who went by the "sun babe"  - they all looked and I looked back - they smiled and moved on.  We were all having a wonderful day at the beach.

I took several dozen photos and will share them soon - sample one below.
