A bit of a Milestone.

04-09-2018

I have decided not to let inhibitions rule my life.

I live in a small regional town of eight thousand people and I know most of them. I prefer to grocery shop as a woman and I usually travel to one of two larger towns that are half an hour to the east and west.

Tonight I shopped in both of our local supermarkets for the first time as a woman.

This is the outfit I chose to wear. I was the only person in a dress, being only the fourth day of Spring, but even so I was all but invisible. A shop assistant said hello and I chatted to the young man on the checkout but in all I was just another woman going about her business.

I saw one person I knew well but he didn't notice me.

It was nice to be me in such a familiar place. In all a good step in the right direction for me.
