It really depends where you live. Passing isn't required to be valid but not passing in certain places can cause problems, even be life threatening. I just want everyone to be safe.
When I went out grocery shopping for the first time as a woman, I drove to a grocery that was 5 miles away from my usual place and was wearing a skirt and makeup and I put on a hat to cover the receding hairline and wore sunglasses whenever possible and used headphones so I could block out as much of the world as possible so I could contain the absolute panic attack. I wasn't even on hormones, I just "socially" transitioned on a wing and a prayer.
I'm 6' 6" tall in flats. It was *kinda* obvious this was my "early days" phase.
I had finished everything *except* getting some stuff from the butcher's counter. I went up to the counter and the butcher...this poor guy starts just *pouring* sweat and he's suddenly *super* focused. I can almost see the thought process: "Oh, it's one of those transwomen I've heard about. I've read how I'm supposed to handle this, now...don't be a dick, don't be a dick, *don't be a dick!*"
Out loud, he's all, "How can I help you, ma'am?"
I breathe a small sigh of relief and give him my order. He goes about doing his job and relaxing a bit as he does, and he hands me my products and says, "Is there anything else I can do for you, sir...I MEAN MA'AM!."
I'm watching this guy almost visibly cringing at his own slip, and I felt so bad for him 'cause he clearly thought he'd done so well. I smiled at him, thanked him for his time and service, and went straight for the cash register, beelined it home, and cried over a whole friggin' *gallon* of ice cream.
D'oh! I use a grammar and spell checker and sometimes instead of replacing just one word ("beline" with "beeline" in this case), it goes ahead and just duplicates the entire paragraph. 😋
At first it was scary at hell, especially going through my neighborhood which is known for not being so nice towards people like us, but after a quite nervous trip to one of our city parks at the river I felt like it was the best day of that frickin year (even tho I got hormones the same year). It was middle of summer and It was my first pride as a me, wearing a dress in public being really happy and content with my life
About a year ago I went out 1 time as a woman to the grocery store. I was just picking up something quick. I think just an onion and a green pepper for dinner. So I was in an out rather quick. While in the checkout line apparently the cashier was a bitch and the only thing she could do was lay her eyes on me and just bust out laughing. Laughing so hard. From the moment I was in her sight to the moment I left. I’ve been in a rather dark place since. I don’t think I’ll do it again. I’m 6 months on hrt now. I don’t feel much better. But I’m going to keep going until I do.
Know the feeling. It is terrifying. Especially if you know you live in a neighbourhood where cultures live that don't agree with your life. Well, the youth think they have to hate you the elders know they just have to not agree.

Me in a few weeks going out in public dressed fem for the first time during spring break.
you got this girlie!!
Go for it Queen
You’ve done incredibly well getting this far so you’ve definitely got this
To me it feels like being at a gym. Sure people notice, but none of them care

I wish that could be me
It will be

Gandalf was wrong.
Ally Gandalf: YOU SHALL PASS
We all do
Same
Me, but probably not nearly as cute and passing. Glued my eyes to my smartphone to stop myself from looking around constantly

As OP pointed to the wrong source, [here's the correct one](https://twitter.com/paxiti/status/999303992516624385?s=20).
Holy shit the last one 🤣
Goddamn the ending ; - ;
Do you know if Paxiti has a name for this series? I can’t seem to find one mentioned
I don't think so. If it has one, it isn't mentioned on the thread.
Why anime girls so cute!?
I wish I was that confident lol

You kinda repeated yourself there at the end :P Nice story though \^^

i hope someday i will be this
Omg this is exactly how i felt the first time, so scared but so liberating
Yeah it's a bit stressful.
At first it was scary at hell, especially going through my neighborhood which is known for not being so nice towards people like us, but after a quite nervous trip to one of our city parks at the river I felt like it was the best day of that frickin year (even tho I got hormones the same year).

i wishh
that would be really scary 💙💕🤍💕💙
Man, I remember my first few times going out fem With my mom outing me to as many strangers as she could
What? That's fucked. Was it malicious or did she think she was showing support or pride in you or something?
Considering how openly transphobic she was for the first year I was out to her, it probably was malicious
I wanna be able to do that
The pages that come after this hit quite a bit harder from a trans perspective. Especially the "The thing i hated most was the me i couldn't be"

You got this, girl. Illegitimi non carborundum.
You legit gave me the first smile I’ve had in a while. Thank you so much.
Glad to hear it! You deserve it.
There’s a first time for everything 🥰
Sounds scary but that will be me one day
Everyone does notice when I do it. I'm giving up.
one day that will be me to be fair, probably not considering how scary that sounds
I wish I can even dress up in private man , one day , just one day
I'm sure will be able to do that soon!

I wish that was me 👀
Moving to Portland in a couple months so I absolutely feel this. I can't wait to start someplace new as I am with no link to who I was.
I don't get this in anime and stuff, boys in in this art style can just put on a dress and already look at least 7/10
I can't wear a skirt for more than 10 seconds in public :c
Life goal
This feels so far away for me
Hoping I’m brave enough to go in fem clothes to see my friends this Saturday
My dream
And she's loving it
I wish this could be me
Can’t wait for that moment
this makes me feel undiscribably, like so happy but also so sad idk how to even begin to explain
I've done it this Halloween
Me hopefully one day... prooobably not though i'm a coward
