=== hooray for halloween
halloween works in reverse for some people. so it was that i was looking for an excuse to wear my boobs in public, but i thought of a cute costume idea, which i didnt find the pieces for. but a guy i knew had a classic lgbt halloween costume, and i thought "okay, ill do it."
so instead of the costume i usually wear, i went as the real me. it was definitely an adventure, a closeted trans girl sneaking in and out of their home, taking the least busy route (quite busy, but quite full of people in costume) to the place this was going on, but i managed to show up and see a few people i liked.
this will most likely involve me coming out to three people i didnt intend to come out to. but among them was the guy i already mentioned. even with the boobs, he didnt quite get it-- so i pulled my mask down so he could see my lipstick, and he said it made his day.
it made mine, too-- i caught no fewer than four people looking RIGHT at them, and TWO of them were women! no dirty looks in the direction of my face, but thats whats great about halloween.
this isnt the first time ive cross-dressed in public on halloween, its only the first time it wasnt really cross-dressing. as to whether id make this a regular thing? f*** no, for a variety of reasons.
this was fun, it went well, im very happy about it.
i did most of the figuring things out this month, and i have no plans to be truly out any time soon.
this is about who i am, and thats important to me, though it doesnt make me miserable to go out in "drag" as a cis male. if i were growing boobs naturally right now, id probably be using a binder when i go out.
ill be honest, i have no idea how many trans women do this. i know some are out and some arent, but what the ratio looks like, i couldnt even guess. as ive said, the people most important to me already know. that means so much.
