Hugging in public is pretty much acceptable. Last year, when I was in boy mode about half the time, I would still hug other people who I knew to be "T"s in public. Some of my male friends asked "why do you hug Kevin and not me" and it was easy to say "Kevin and I go way back" or some such thing.

Essentially, this meant that I underwent electrolysis and hormone replacement therapy while continuing to live my life as a "man": wearing the same jeans, sneakers, T-shirts, flannel shirts, and sweat-jackets I always wore and acting pretty much the same as I always had.
