OK, my next door neighbor, to the left is an elderly woman, hadnt lived their long before I came out, and before comming out my depression was such that I hardly left my room. But I came out and literally started coming out of my house, I stopped smoking cigeretts out my bedroo window, and started standing at the back door. I never meet this lady, but turns out she is the mother of one of my dads chruch friends.
Anyway, she is a freindly lady and would catch me as an opertunity to chat and pass a message on from her daughter to my father. We exchanged names, the usual meet and greet type stuff. One time, both me and my father were in the garden, I was sat with my friend while my dad had a natter over the garden fence. The lady next door eventually enquired about me to my dad.
She said, "does she have any children". My dad says who? "This one here" she says, looking towards me. Once again, my dad says "who", so she looks and says to me. 2Im sorry love, it is vicky isnt it?" "Yes" I say with a responding smile.
My dad says I dont have kids and reffers to me as male. Then Ofcours it started raining compliments. She Only knows me as vicky and has no issues calling me she.
And for the most part, it been similar stories, there are a lot of young families on my street, so I have had the occational questions from some of the young children, but i leave it with an ask your parents. And this usually leads up to a stranger apraching me in the street and Aopplogising on behalf of their child.
This gave me oppertunities to introduce myself to new people.
