Oh -Julien -
Another thing that REALLY, really helps - once you realize that straight people don't perceive you as trans, you may find it help a lot to spend an afternoon at a bookstore, or browsing Home Depot - anywhere with people, all by yourself. Every guy who ignores you or nods, every woman who ignores you or smiles at you, the little flirtations from the woman selling coffee (or guy) - it is extremely empowering when the rest of your life is more complex and filled with people transitioning along with you (in their perception of you).
Do it as soon as you can. It's a treat.
