So....last night, I was getting dressed to go to an event with my family. My daughter, a freshman in high school, looked at me and said "you should change". I asked why, and she said "that outfit makes you look like a lesbian." Prior to a few weeks ago, that type of comment would have sent me into a panic. Oh my god. Someone thinks I look like a lesbian. I have to fix this! . This time, I felt something different. I think I was proud! I told my daughter thanks, but I'll keep my outfit the way it is.....she made a comment that was to the effect of " okay, but don't blame me when all the lesbians start hitting on you...." ****ummm, yes please!****. Anyway, I responded under my breath that I guess I would get some numbers, lol. My response to the whole conversation is proof to me that I am making progress. That whole thing would have been so different not long ago. To feel pride instead of shame is a wonderful feeling. Also, doesn't hurt that my daughter thinks I look good enough to get hit on, lol.
Hey Bec, That's great! I'm happy for you Indeed, feeling pride instead of shame is great, and a huge step!
Good for you! I remember the first time when it occurred to me that I no longer cared if people thought I was a lesbian or not. It was a good feeling.
Haha, I love when I think I look like a lesbian! Usually if I put on some flannel with my Ray Bans. Hope you got some stares!
Lol! The outfit was cute boots, jeans, a white button up and a black pea coat. I definitely get the eye contact now, but that's because I am looking for it and don't avert my eyes anymore......
