This isn't going to be a long post. But it notes several things which have happened in the past few days. Take them for what they are, and read into them what you will:
- Sunday, I saw someone at a meetup who tried her best to keep me away from several meetup groups she claimed as her own. It was a pleasant interaction, and went better than I expected.
- Wednesday, I decided to drop into a meetup where my "Hiking Partner" from Thursday night games was there for Trivia night. I only wish I could have gotten there earlier.
- Thursday, I went to a new meetup held on City Island. It's been over 25 years since I've been to this restaurant, and the food was good enough to want to return much sooner than that.
In all cases, I went to these meetups in Marian Mode, and it was easier for me (and the group) for me to appear as a female. At the Sunday meetup, I was surprised that one person complimented me on my dress AND noted that I looked happier than I've looked in a while. (Compliments will go far with me. 😃)

Over time, I've developed a more natural manner being out and about as Marian. I'm hoping that newly out transgender folk can see my posts and learn from my hard experience....
