    Just about collected enough of a wardrobe that doesn’t look awful on me (ie the right size and not hyper-feminine) so that I can dress in women’s clothes all the time. Plus a growing pile of “don’t wear outside the house” and “possibly when I’m a different shape” reserves :) Wearing my old men’s stuff feels uncomfortable, so I threw most of it out except for a few items in case I need to emergency-stealth.

    Makeup turns out to be not as obvious to other people than I thought! Went out the other day with eyebrow pencil, mascara and some light eye shadow, and even my wife (who in theory knows what I look like) couldn’t tell what I had used.

    Otherwise it’s hurry up and wait. Consultation for laser this week, and maybe I can get on the list at the gender clinic for counseling in October (a GID diagnosis is required where I live).
