Lunch on Sunday was terrific and it was yet another measuring post moment for me. Even a few short years ago my imposter syndrome gage might have still gone off and I would have concern about what the people in front of me might be thinking about my presentation. Women in particular can be the most exacting of observers.
That concern is now almost entirely wiped away.
In its place is me in all my glory; calm without any overthinking. Whether these three ladies would ever know about my transgender history becomes irrelevant which soothes the brain immeasurably. Why worry if you aren't pretending to be anyone else? I am and always have been a transgender person and will be until the day I die.
Once the mind has settled nicely into that mode it's much harder to knock you off your perch.
Of course people can always try.
