- I'll be wearing a silk blouse, tights, pumps, and new leather miniskirt--
- all in black. No makeup or boobs tonight. Given my strong facial
- features and body hair, and the fact that my facial electrolysis isn't
- done yet, I really look more natural and comfortable when I don't try to
- pass.

- I rented a tux for my company Christmas/holiday party. I was SORELY
- tempted to substitute a tasteful skirt and pumps for the trousers and
- clunkers (my esso's encouraging comment about my brief home experiment to
- that effect didn't help :^). It probably wouldn't have surprised my
- colleagues TOO much, given my Halloween "costume" <wink>, but I finally
- decided that it would be brash.

- Double sigh. Yes, I look forward to the day when I won't be judged by
- what I wear. I'm trying to slowly desensitize people in my world to the
- gyne side of my androgyny by pushing the boundaries carefully but
- persistently. Although appearance reflects only one facet of personality,
- it IS what people most immediately notice. My tiny pushes for today:
- wearing both of my big green anodized hoop earrings to work since I
- figured this morning that I would otherwise forget to wear them for the
- parties tonight (I'm not going home after work), and chatting with the
- other women at work about our hair styles and stylists.
-
- Merry New Year! May the coming year be one of increased freedom and
- happiness for everyone in the gender communities.
