So I'm femmed up, and bc it's a rainy day, I'm not wearing makeup. I was taking a walk around town and stopped into a McDonald's. Clean shaven nothing else. I'm not even a full three months of HRT, but my chest is already gotten into some development.
Anyways, just after sitting down with my order, random woman approached me.
"I love your outfit!" She said, "It's so well put together."
I thanked and saying I just wished I had put on makeup as well.
"Honestly," she replied, "you're so pretty you don't need makeup."
I then thanked her again, and tried to laugh off my need for makeup. I'm not young. I'm not an old lady, but I'm out of my 20's. And a stranger giving me such a compliment, unprompted, had me smiling for about 1 minute before the emotions began to overwhelm me. Soon enough my eyes were watering and I'm having to swallow down the lump in my throat.
Just me trying not to cry in an Australian McDonald's.
