I can appreciate the hesitancy many have about going to the conference. I had the same feelings myself for similar reasons. I really wanted to go, but couldn't get past the idea that I wouldn't measure up to other attendees. But, I'm going. Most of the other attendees will be in the same boat as I. I registered and got a room at the hotel. I realized that it was too good of an opportunity to pass up. Where else would I be able to step out, en femme for 4 days, in such a safe, and friendly environment? Where else would I be able to meet so many other people that are like me? Am I confident in my ability to present as a woman? No way, far from it, but I am learning a few basics ahead of the event, and I'm enjoying getting ready as best I can. I have no clue how it's all going to work out for me, but I'm assuming that I'm going to have a good time, especially knowing that I'll have the love and support of my BN sisters.
