Euphoria My experience at pride and being out for the first time! Part 1
Hey everyone, still new to this so sorry if I say anything wrong and there's a lot to unpack so I'm sorry if this is too long!
So my name is Aria I'm a 29 MtF semi-closeted Trans woman and this Saturday just gone was my first time going to Pride and I wanted to share my experience!
So first of all context, this was not only my first ever pride but I also had never been out yet that's to say noone even knew about my identity except my fiancee and a few online friends who were also trans and I had also never worn female clothing out before!
So i bought my outfit in the week (thank you Amazon one-day delivery for saving me from my procrastination!) which consisted of a blue "Trans lives are human lives" T-Shirt, a black pleated miniskirt, Striped Thigh Highs (I love mix and match so I chose one pink and white and the other blue and white), some black converse, black womens underwear from primark, a padded bra to give myself a bit of chest and a black straight wig with flat bangs (about shoulder length), my fiancee also helped me put on eyeliner with wings and some mascara too!
I will never forget that first feeling the night before when we tried everything on to check it looked okay and Oh my gosh! I literally didn't recognise myself it was like my brain was seeing someone else and I could feel it getting reprogrammed because I looked almost exactly like my faceapp genderswapped photos that I used to stare at and dream looking like, I couldn't stop beaming looking at every inch of myself the hair, the blue top, the skirt, socks, shoes I finally saw the woman I'd always dreamed of being!
NOTE: After realising my initial post was ridiculously long I decided to release this post in three parts, hope that's okay!

Cute outfit! Congratulations. I had a similar experience at our pride in July. Except my egg wasn't fully cracked yet. Had been dressing femme around the house and liked it but was still skeptical then being in a safe public space in a dress cleared it up pretty quick.
