Little background, I'm in my mid forties, married forever to a ciswoman, deeply closeted for a long time. Recently (re)discovered my true self and feel happy for the first time! Finally acknowledged being bisexual and a transwoman. Until then, I had never given myself permission to look at other people, too much shame, especially at guys. Just started forgiveness therapy to dump this baggage. Anyhow, I was in Old Navy mostly window shopping, checking out the clothes I'd like to wear when I am ready to transition. Walking out the store, I caught the eye of one of the clerks. It was just a quick glance and an acknowledgement that I was there, but that look... Hoo boy. I don't think I've ever noticed anyone notice me like that! Maybe I'm projecting, maybe I'm finally seeing people for the first time. Doesn't matter. Shoot, I'm blushing now! :icon_redf lol
