This is amazing and you are amazing. 
Go Truean!! Those are really true friends--testing by the fire. Right into the field. ^ ^
Truean, your bravery is awesome.
What? What did she do this time, save a horde of kittens while simultaneously conquering the world when I was asleep?
Left the car and ordered food.
Which sounds completely ridiculous without the context 
* Tiruin points at above quote and labels it 'context'.
Because that's epic psychological uplifting context there.
[blush] Thank you, it ... it did not feel brave at the time. Terrifying, yes. Brave, no. Much of it, or at least the beginning of it, was my shivering in the passenger seat after slowly realizing what I was in for. Upon further reflection, I now know why they had me ride shotgun, particularly when I did not want to. It would've been nigh impossible to coax me out of the back seat of the car like that. It did help that they were encouraging me and telling me how pretty I was and how nobody would ever guess.
All the same, I was still freaked out and thinking "super run away" the whole time. Except that wouldn't have really solved much of anything either. I do love those girls, but really, really, they could've gone about that a very different and less stressful way. I mean, if they are dead set on having me out of the house like that, they could just do it in a place with no people first and in a place where I don't have to talk, etc.
Honestly I was very scared. The Happy was primarily that I passed without notice.
finally someone gives me context on what Truean did.
I find it interesting that with the right conditions, males can pass as females. Anyhow, gogo Truean!
Takes a fair deal of work and depends largely upon the person too. Oddly, I have no Adam's Apple and my throat is basically smooth. I'm a lil taller than most girls, but most of the time it still works. Plus, I'm relatively skinny and have slender arms and shoulders that aren't too wide. Also I usually have to work to make my voice sound more masculine anyhow soooo. I've often wondered if I'm somehow intersexed or something. They didn't really talk about or test for that when I was a kid, so who knows?
I'd never call myself lucky for having my condition, (transgenderism/GID) but at least I apparently can pass. I've seen several transgender people who do not do so good of a job with that. I feel terrible for them. If nothing else, it does help when I get to be myself, though it's almost always at home and alone.
Other than that, it's clothing, mannerisms, and casual comfort around other women (with perhaps a slight touch of unease around men conveying that you don't belong with them). I'm not trying to stand out; I'm trying to blend in. The goal is to have people look right past you as just another girl. [shrugs]. Fairly conservative clothes in mild colors with a reserved manner tends to help in my experience.
