A lot of firsts today [View all]

Not the least being my first post in LGBT.
Background: I came out as trans a couple months ago to a supportive wife and a close group of supportive friends. This weekend was Pride in Phoenix (we have it in October to avoid 120 degree weather).

It was my first Pride, my first time in an explicitly queer space, my first time in full makeup, my first time in a skirt and tights in public, and my first time using the correct bathroom.
And best of all, we ran into an acquaintance whom I was chatting online with earlier this morning, and she didn’t recognize me in girlmode!

Just had to share because I was terrified and it went so much better than expected!
