I enjoyed my Thanksgiving dinner last night. I saw some people I haven't seen since the transition and they were totally cool with me. They said I looked great. There was no mixup with names or pronouns. I was able to ditch the hat with this new haircut. I went out shopping this morning and I didn't have my hat on and I have never gone without my hat during my entire transition. I've worn it everywhere since June 2020. It really is a big deal for me to go into stores without it. I went to my normal homestate stores that I stop at every time I visit. Then we went to lunch and then checked into the second hotel. I feel pretty decent.

Although the first thing my aunt asked me was "are you looking for a job?" Which I found to be a kind of rude first question. I had talked to my last therapist about the guilt I felt about not working for 2 years and she told me not to feel guilty because I had legit stuff that kept happening that prevented me from going back to work.

Idk. I found it rude. Then my aunt gave me $7 pumpkin butter for no reason.
