Well, after a rotten day yesterday, I had a fantastic day today. I went for a interview with a local tg group, and we were meeting at a restaurant. I got there first, and the server was taking me to a booth, and i tried to tell her I would prefer a table, but she didnt hear me at first. But another server heard me, and told my server "SHE would like a booth" It is amazing, what a single letter can do for one's confidence.

Indeed.
One letter CAN make a huge difference. It can, for example, turn a friend into a fiend, or vice versa. It can make a scrum into scum. I'm certain there are other examples, but they escape at the moment.
What's REALLY important here though is the simple, and yet SO important, fact that you were accepted as you were presenting yourself to be. I'm so glad you had a good day hon. Here's wishing you a whole, batch, wad more of them.
Hugs,
Cathy
As a T-woman, I do have a Y chromosome... it's just in cursive, pink script.
Also!
What she said! ^_^ Very happy to hear you had a better day today :-D
I still remember...
... the first time this happened to me in a public place.
I was on a sort of "date lite" with a girl I liked. We were really just friends hanging out at the mall before class (we shared a Philosophy class :-)), but I we talked about dating a few times.
Anyway, we decided to go to the food court. The first thing out of the lady's mouth behind the counter was "Hi, what can I get you girls?"
The girl I was with knew about my being transgendered, and we spent the next hour and a half quietly laughing about it. I wasn't wearing any makeup or anything, and baggy, gender-neutral (technically "guy") clothes.
It really is amazing what these little moments do for your self-confidence. Just don't do like I did and talk yourself back out of it/rationalize it away. Embrace it! :-D
