Yes! Passed in front of a critical audience

[Guest Lizzie McTrucker]

Today (technically yesterday I guess), I found myself in Tennessee up in the mountains north of Knoxville. I had just finished fueling up the ol' semi when I finally had to run inside for a spiro-related bathroom trip. As I'm hurriedly walking into the bathroom, I pushed open the door and almost hit a 6-year old little girl. Her mom was close by, looked over at me and said "I'm sorry, sweetheart." I quickly and politely downplayed the event like it was no big deal (accidents happen) and rushed towards the stall on the end. 

After closing the door I hear the little girl say "She's a tall girl" to which her mother replied "Yes, she is!"

I paused for a moment, behind the stall door, with a big grin. A small victory among some of the more critical members of society, along with one of their parents.
Thank you, little girl, you made my day today...er, yesterday.

Happened to me at Busch Gardens without make-up in shorts in a t-shirt. Made me feel great! (not the tall part though)

Good for you Lizzie, that's real life....

I've enjoyed nice chit chat in a queue of ladies waiting for an open stall before, attitude is everything...

  That is so affirming.  I love those experiences.

 

Hugs,

I find my reactions to being gendered properly have changed a lot over the years.  Yes, I remember being thrilled, and also disbelief.  This is happening?  Really?!?  Um, yup.  After a while, it became an expectation.  Something predictable, something to count on.  A way to vanquish self-doubt.  Smiling secretly to myself. 

And then the day came when it didn't register at all.  Too preoccupied with whatever else was going on in my life.  Just a non-issue.  Blank.

Very nice!!  If you ever find yourself un Nashville let me know!  I'd love to catch up to you!!  I have a ton of questions I'd like to ask in person...if the chance arises.

You always know where you stand with children. Your femininity must show through very clearly. Good for you.

Lizzie what a great feeling you have experienced. Passing is such an awesome feeling. It hasn't happened to me all that often, but it sure is a nice feeling when it does. I most often get compliments on how well I dress, or the " you are pulling this off well. " compliment.
