Out and About

I have been out and about in public as Kimberly something like 200+ times--my best guess.  Each time I try to have fun and each time I try to learn something to improve myself.  A number of times I have gone shopping at Marshall's or Target in the evening, when it is rather crowded.  Those are the most challenging excursions.  My voice is not passable, in my estimation, but visually I can pass as a woman most of the time, I think.  Usually I browse for things like jeans, shoes and cosmetics when I am at Target, and I typically don't get a second look from other customers or staff.  I love to try on shoes!  But there have been a few times when, for example, a younger GG has given me an extended glance.  That's when I think about my look, and realize that perhaps I used a little bit too much makeup that night, or was wearing a skirt when I would have been more passable wearing blue jeans and tennis shoes, or just for a second had a relapse into more masculine mannerisms.  In any case, I see myself as a work in process always, getting (hopefully) a bit better as time goes.  It all seems so natural and normal when I am out as Kimberly.  To me I am just a woman going about her business.  It is such a delight.
