[GoneGirl]

It's surprising how much more at ease I am presenting as a woman in public these days, but I still present as a guy in certain situations. I'm still a little self-conscious in guy mode because my breasts project a lot now, and my nails are long and often painted. I often wear girls clothes (jeans, shirts, underwear) in guy mode because I find them so much more comfortable. People never say anything, but often do a quick double take. I'm getting used to it and often forget to think about how I appear to others. It just takes time to undo the conditioning that encourages men and women to dress and act according to their assigned sex. It's more an issue with relatives and friends, and, of course, those brutally honest young kids...lol.
