Tonight I was at Walmart with Marti, shopping for the kids my company is sponsoring this Christmas, and before we left I went to look for men’s vests. While in the men’s department I looked at several articles of clothing that appealed to me, and it suddenly occurred to me it didn’t matter how masculine they were, because I am finally a guy and can wear them. An exhilaration and incredible sense of freedom washed over me. I can’t describe how liberating it is to know I will be wearing a tuxedo to my company Christmas party next week and no one is going to judge me for looking like a guy, because they KNOW I’m a guy and it’s okay.
It has been an amazing week. I feel I have been re-born, that Evan has finally come into the world.
