More Surprises

[gennee]

Yesterday at church, two more people discovered that I'm transgender. They were a couple that we know but were unaware of my transness. My wife told them because I was tied up with someone else. She said that they were surprised . I'm sure that we will talk about this in the future, which I look forward to.

Later in the the evening, my wife and I were in Wendy's having coffee. While she was getting our orders, I sat at a table reading some emails. A woman at the next table was looking at me. I didn't look up but could feel her eyes upon me. When my wife returned she told me the same thing. The woman was probably trying to figure me out. Oh well, another exciting evening.

:D

It's rude to stare, woman at Wendy's!

I'm glad to hear you're having good evenings, it sounds like your church is a wonderful place to be

Sounds promising with the church couple. You've had really good luck with the folks there, and i hope it continues with this couple.

Ms. Rude? The world is full of folks who have nothing better to do, and no better manners, than to worry about other people's business. You were right to ignore her.

This may seem just a smidge off the wall, but. . .

As to being looked at by others, when I was active in A.A. my sponsor would tell me to present in public like I'm happy about my sobriety. "You may be the only copy of The Big Book that someone ever sees!", he would say.

Well, you just might be the only Transgender that woman has ever/will ever see. In that context, you represent all of us.

Now get out there and make us proud!

(No pressure there, of course.)

The staring doesn't really bother me. If someone ever asked me a question 'what am I", I would answer.

Being yourself is far greater than being what others would have you be. I still find it difficult to venture too far out in public not for fear of what others would think of me but for fear of what I may do in response to their idiotic behavior.

Maybe it was a woman wondering how you managed to put togahter such an amazing look.

[Guest Deenah]

yes,maybe it was a positive gaze. But either way it's rude.. Or she was wondering what you were having to eat cus your so beautiful,and she wanted to be like you...

That's a good point. Never thought about that.

Could be.
