Lately, I've been writing about the mundane things in life. After a transgender person gets the courage to go out and about in the world, one's day to day experiences return to being just everyday experiences. Some of these experiences are social, and others are related to the configuration of one's body. Once these experiences have become common enough, one doesn't think about them much.
Although RQS thinks of me as her boyfriend who likes to dress funny (and I'm comfortable with being this way), she also sees me as someone that she can share typical "girly" experiences with - such as going for a mani-pedi. After getting used to seeing me present as a female, she has gotten very comfortable with me this way and will occasionally show me subtle public displays of affection.
RQS wants me to keep my male body configuration, and only use prosthetics to create my feminine body shape. (She doesn't mind me getting electrolysis to remove my facial and body hair. It's going the next step that bothers her.) And I can live with that to have a good romantic relationship. So far, things are going much better than expected. RQS has suggested that the two of us get made up by a professional, then dress to the nines, and go out somewhere fancy. This will not happen until after we get back from our cruise.
Could this be a dream? If so, I don't want to wake up.
