So there's a thrift store near where I live that I really like. Last time I was there I saw a pair of jewelry cat ears that I thought was really cute. I was out with a friend when I saw them, so I just let it go, but it caught my eye.

I decided today, while I had some time, to drive out there real quick just to pick them up. I figured I'd be quick, grab it, act like its a gift or whatever. Its just one item, nobody would ask questions.

Unfortunately when I got out there the headgear was gone. I looked around for a second, and eyed some of the REALLY cute women's clothing for sale on the racks. So cheap. They even color coded everything! I saw a couple pieces on the racks that I absolutely had to have. I thought about it...

"Oh my God I'm in boy mode"

"Can I browse the racks? Will people look at me?"

"What will the cashier think?"

My heart raced. I thought about what I would do.

I had to get these clothes. They were so pretty. Thrifting as a woman is so much more fruitful than as a man. So many pretty colors and options.

I eyed a few things that I absolutely had to have. I could've spent all day browsing but I was too self conscious.

I grabbed what I wanted and filled my basket. I was definitely overthinking it. I thought I had grabbed too many, different styled pieces to play it off like I was buying somebody a gift, so I went over and grabbed a book to buy too. Not even a book I was interested in. I was too worked up to browse the books, so I just grabbed one.

I checked out, and made small talk with the cashier about the book. Thank God I didn't have to say anything about the clothes.

I got a pretty shirt, and a more questionable turtle neck, but best of all, I got a SUPER pretty striped dress that fits me just right omg! I'm so happy.

I'm sitting in my living room now, comfortably locked snug in my cage. I stay smooth below my eyebrows now, and have started having real experiences with men. Now I'm buying feminine clothing in public. I also bought some lip gloss from a local bathroom/soap place across the street. I don't know what's happening to me, but I like it and I'm here for it.

Acceptance comes with a lot of fun. 🥰

Edit: I didn't even look at what book I bought smh. Its a book on old timey MUSICAL THEATRE. Cashier probably figured the clothes were mine anyway lmfao rip
