Went to go shopping at my local Safeway after my electrolysis today. When I got out of the car, I realized I should have used the bathroom before I left electrolysis. I was wearing a knit white top, a blue print skirt and some light tan sandals. I had my usual make up for electrolysis; mascara and a light pink lipstick. In the electrolysis building they are used to seeing trans folk in the restrooms. At Safeway not so much.

I honestly have doubts that my looks don't shout "man in a dress." Testosterone has done a number on me. However, today, I passed the muster. Safeway has decided that a code is needed to enter the restroom. I nearly bumped my nose on the door when it didn't open. A Safeway female checker was coming off break and saw my near collision with the door and told me I needed a code and then told me what it was. I opened the door and thanked her; she smiled, nodded and was on her way.
