First time out as Lindsay

Congradulations. You are taking the first step of your journey out in the public eye. The more you go out the more confidence you will gain and the less you will be preoccupied with worrying about what others may think. Just be you. BTW we all are first timers once.

It's been a long time between blogs Lindsay. I'm pleased to hear from you again and absolutely stoked that you and Kim are not only together still but have grown in your love for each other. She is a wonderful woman.
Speaking of wonderful women, I hope you gave the old biddy on the train your best look, sour old bag, she must have a miserable life as the " little woman" at home, hahaha.
I wish you well in your "presenting as you" time. It gets easier and easier as you gain more confidence that you are not at all odd, merely another Aussie being what Aussie's are best at, thumbing our noses at convention.
" Small steps" an oft used phrase that needs a reappearance.
Babies don't start walking at birth and nor do we.
Allow yourself to grow, it might seem frustratingly slow, but you WILL look back and laugh at these times.
They are precious to us.
You and Kim go well,
Rachel.

And what do you do when you see a girl in a great outfit? First thing I think is she looks good in that outfit. I wonder how it would look on me? Does it fit my style? Does it come in my size? Where did she get it?

It is an emotional journey to venture out. Fear is always our companion. You'll see over time that becomes less and less. You'll not give people like that old lady any second thought. Anyone who can't understand the reality of the world around, like this woman, isn't worth giving any lengthy consideration to.
