30 Day Trans Challenge - Day 13, 14, 15, 16

Sorry these are a bit.  With everything going on with my wife, I just haven't had the chance to write.  

13) Bathrooms:

Bathrooms haven't been an issue yet as I am not out full time. 

14) What are some of your passing tips or things you do to pass?

The biggest tip is be confident.  If you show fear, you are more open to questioning.  Also take the time to develop a style, practice putting on make-up, and observe other women.  Learn the mannerisms and how other women carry themselves.  I don't pass at the moment, but these are what I will be doing.  I have had a few moments of passing without trying.  I think that's thanks to the hormones making my body more feminine and also I am becoming more confident in who I am.

15) How have you embraced your trans identity?

I started out struggling with embracing being trans, but I have slowly embraced it.  I realized that this is who I am.  I was destined to be the woman I knew I was.  Having the people around me who support and love me, has definitely made it easier to embrace.  And seeing the changes in me has helped too.  Feeling more confident, being more out going, if I hadn't come out, I would still be in my shell.

16) What's your rock anthem and why?

This is a tough one.  My wife and I were discussing this one.  After much thought, I think I'm going to stick with my favorite song: Dream on by Aerosmith.  It just reminds me that everyone struggles, but to live and learn, to grow and to sing, and to alway dream on.  Singing always cheers me up.
