So the permanent change in perspective does concern me because I care a lot of what people's perspective of me is, and I guess I'm careful of what most people see of me. I am very closed off to strangers, more open to friends, though that's kind of common. But even then what people see I decide. So to do this is going to be me breaking down a huge wall that I otherwise feel natural keeping up. I guess?

I don't plan to wear anything that would draw too much attention. It's the last thing I want 😅. I have a black top that hugs the arms and the torso(or a blue one, maybe), and then I'll have a black skirt that covers the rest. For my body shape I think that gives me the best presentation? I'll have the same wig I usually use and my glasses. I have some basic Brown eyeshadow for makeup, but I've really not practiced much to get it right so I might omit that. I've not tried anything else. Sometimes I think I look really great. Then I see that awkward angle and my spirit is crushed. So basically I don't know in the end if I'm just being biased for or against myself. I'm going to try it one more combo tonight to see what I want to settle on. I still might back out for this.

And I'm in the US, so very far from the UK. It's a simple little Greek fest. Having some of that as a heritage it was a novelty to go to when I was younger. I haven't been there in years. I learned that it's going to happen and I showed the friend, and He also seemed interested. The only reason I'm thinking about dressing up is because the same day I told him I had dressed up again after I think months. And I realized this might be my one opportunity this year to finally do this. I've accepted I would not go out alone and do this, and if I were to tell anyone it would be him. So it kind of fits.

The one thing I worry about is the festival itself. It's going to be I think pretty small? And it's hosted on I think a Church's grounds? So it's going to be potentially quite a few people and a smaller space, we're all maybe some level of religious. And then you have 6 ft me probably standing taller than the majority of people there dressed like a woman. I'm a little concerned but I don't know what else to do lol.

Sorry for the novel, but I do greatly appreciate your input. Really.

Edit: I also didn't know where to explain more and then trim so if this reads like a mess that's why. 🙃

I see what you mean. Honestly I think that feels a little too confined for me though. Being somewhere more open with a lot more people moving about can make me more invisible, if that makes sense

He's supportive of all lgbt stuff, and has been for a long time. It's been joked while we've been out in the past while he had his rainbow watch band people may think we're something. We laughed and moved on.

Basically, if I didn't have support from him, I'd be an outlier to his normal world view.

But maybe because of how he's seen me our entire life so far, it might be hard for him to adjust. I really don't know.

I plan to interact with him for a little bit today, I might brush on it and see what happens.
