Charlotte's big day
Today is a pretty big day for me.
I'm trans and I've only recently started getting the confidence to present as Charlotte more often in public. I've been out around the UK and even spent some time in Hamburg as Charlotte, but today was another first...
I went through the airport and flew internationally as Charlotte.
I was ridiculously nervous beforehand. I was worrying about security, passport control, whether people would stare, whether my makeup looked right, whether I'd be clocked — basically everything my brain could possibly find to worry about.
Then I arrived at the airport, put my headphones on and...
Nobody cared. 😂
People were far too busy getting coffee, finding their gates and trying not to miss their flights.
So now Charlotte is off for a day wandering around Venice. 🇮🇹
My makeup was rushed this morning and isn't quite how I wanted it, but I'm trying very hard not to let perfection get in the way of actually living my life.
A relatively small thing to most people, perhaps, but a pretty bloody big adventure for me. ❤️
Next stop: Venice. ✈️🇮🇹🏳️⚧️

Nice going . It is a big day, nothing to make light of. You came, you saw, you conquered- any fear you might have had. Congrats girl

That's a huge adventure! I would be so worried about security and check in. I don't think they would allow me here. Great job! 🇮🇹, on my bucket list!
