If I could, I'd like to take just a moment to brag a little. It's Pride weekend in my city and so naturally I spent the night at a gay dance club. I've just recently moved back, and only been to the club once before years ago, so it was a little overwhelming all over again—especially adding to the fact that I'm only about 4 mos. on T and probably not passing as well as I could be. Granted, it's dark at the club, and more people than not are drunk.
Anyway, I've heard a couple stories about transguys having trouble in gay clubs, so I was worried. I met up with a bunch of people I knew in high school, so obviously they all knew, but the few new people who addressed me assumed male pronouns on their own. There was even a drag queen (not dressed up last night, but she's performing tonight ;-D) who told me I was cute, then went on about it a little to my friend.
I was a little paranoid after that, though, and I ended up asking three of these girls I knew in school whether they honestly thought I passed or not. They said yes, but I'm pessimistic, so maybe they were just being nice. Either way, a gay queen flirted with me—and I was just pretty jazzed up about that.
