I am the HUNTED PREY : Danielle’s Chronicles

[Northern Star Girl]

When are you going to syndicate to Netflix? [emoji23]

A surprise about being outed by your teeth! I'm glad that your friends and the locals seem to accept you regardless (as they should). Now you can really relax and pick which of your many suitor(s) you like for starters,  maybe followed by main and of course dessert [emoji16]. X

@ Megan:  In a large city where one could get "lost" ... I doubt that my dental hygienist would be my good friend that I would socialize with... or ever would have gone to the gym with them as a good friend.... and the health care privacy rules would apply....
... but in my case it was all very different and above board as I wrote about.

I am very pleased with the outcome... yes I can now "relax" and not be so very stressed.

Thanks for your reply,
Danielle

Wow! Great news that everyone already knows. Less pressure for sure.

Danielle I have to say I feel relieved for you. I am glad you found out and most importantly that no one thought anything negative because of your past. That is awesome!

@ Josie:  Not too long ago I would have thought that such a good result was never going to happen....  I can not tell you how very much relieved I am...   
Thank you for your reply,

I'm happy to hear you're relieved Danielle. But I don't understand, so confidentiality was broken in this case? I know you don't mind but it seems like if they knew from your teeth... that your dentist and hygienst should not have told anyone. At least they should've approached you first and asked you...

Also, you've been in this town 18 months? I'm very surprised you're just now getting suitors... unless they're very slow to warm, I would imagine from day one you would have suitors. Just my thoughts [emoji846]

Allison:   YES, you are correct I was very, very reluctant to even start any kind of possible dating relationships... my mind was spinning about the possible implications and how it would impact my business, my new friends and my standing in this small community.  I was indeed approached many times withing just a few days of me arriving here 18 months ago but I have kept the Suitors at arms length using whatever excuse I could think of at the time... but I finally weakened about a month ago when Male Suitor #1 bumped into me at the coffee shop and the story continues from there.

My hygienist quickly became one of my best friends here when I moved here a year and a half ago... long before she was my hygienist, in fact, before I went to have my teeth cleaned that is the very first time I have been to any dentist here in town. ... I go to the gym with her and 4 other cis-women friends every week.  All of us have become best buds ....   She did not say anything to the dentist whom I did not see, nor to others in his office.... she approached me at her home when I was there for dinner on a one on one social level as a very good friend and she simply asked a private question that I could have ignored.  All of us talk and gossip before, during and after our gym visits....  I probably was the subject of their conversation at one point recently when I went back to work.  I think that one or two of the gals had suspicions about me... I don't know why however.. Evidently one of them let her suspicions slip out yesterday to her husband and of course that did not stay there for long.  The friend came to me this morning and apologized over and over again for the slip to her husband... she was in tears as she said that she was sorry and hoped that I would forgive her.   Frankly, with the outcome that has resulted I should thank her.

I had absolutely no idea that my teeth could give my secret past away.  But now I am happy with the outcome.... I have clean teeth, no cavities, and now am free from the stress of revealing my past....   I am a HAPPY woman!!!

Thanks for your reply,
Hugs,

That is great news, Danielle! Less stress to carry into social interactions. It always amazes me when people said that they already knew  or knew something was going on. Community/social rumour mills spread things so quickly. It is great when there is a positive outcome! Looking forward to the next instalment. Hugs

.... adding another thought to my last update this morning.... since Dentists and Hygienists are close up to their patient's faces, there are tell-tale signs of being trans-woman in addition to teeth and mouth,  my cis-woman Hygienist friend said that she was amazed at my soft and smooth face and facial features ... that was nice to hear.

First, I am happy for you.

Second, you are correct about differences in facial features.  As an example, the size, esp. the height, of the philtrum typically differs.  Also, the glabella can appear different, depending on the eyebrow trimming, then there are appearance differences with the nose, chin, brow ridge, roundness, head size, etc.  That is why FFS is often sought after.  But you know all of that and FFS does not appear needed for you except if it is your personal preference.

You Danielle are very fem looking.  Good looks help attract people.  Of course, there other many other wonderful characteristics of people that are attractive to people.  Maybe you have nearly all of them!

I agree Chrissy, she does[emoji4]
They must be very open minded in this Alaskan town!! I'm surprised. I was a bit worried because you seemed nervous about telling anyone you're trans there. It just didn't seem like the best place to come out but it all worked out really well!!
Such a great turn of events[emoji4]
Now which lucky suitor will you choose...

I wasn't nearly as worried about the reaction of other people.  I live in Hicksville and it's different when people can put a face and a personality to the dreaded trans word.  If you look like a woman, sounds like a woman, and act like a woman then people treat you like a woman.  Even for the ones that know they tend to take life at face value and don't even think about it unless it comes up for some reason or another.

I do not think that she will pick number two (2).
He is too pushy.  Shark.

Persistence is often a good trait but there are limits and there are good and bad ways/styles to go about the pursuit!

Allison and Chrissy: 
Thank you for both for your "all too kind" words... very much appreciated for sure.  Also all the others that have been so complimentary to me... a big thank you to you all too!

Well, Allison, in your reply regarding Alaska.... while this state and especially the very small towns, of which there are many.... tend to be very conservative....  BUT this is also a place that people come to get away from big cities, past problems and to get a way from people in general, so there is a big mix of people with various backgrounds, many of them don't want others in their business, and therefore they don't get into other people's business also.  Live and let live seems to be the motto here.

Yes, once I got established here I had thought that I really made a mistake coming to a very small town where everyone knows everyone else.. but this was a good place to start and grow, almost immediately, my business... I had thought perhaps that I should have instead relocated to a large city where I could get lost in the crowd.... but as Allison stated, it worked out really well.

With all of the excitement of last night at dinner and the events that unfolded today I am having great difficulty concentrating on my work...  it will be a late night tonight for sure.

I will have more interesting stuff to report about (female) Suitor #4 ... hopefully I can write some more later today or perhaps in the morning.

Thank you for your replies.
Hugs,
Danielle

@ Amber: 
I agree with you...
...that has always been my thought too.
and especially so with my experience last night and today!!!!

I couldn't live with people in my >-bleeped-<e like that. Too parochial.

Danielle,
   I am trying to get the flavor of where you live. I assume you get a lot of winter, maybe you are far away from other towns? Is it a situation where people kind of need to depend on each other maybe a little more than down south here. I wonder if there is a sense of you all being invested in the community together. Maybe that might make for a more accepting group even if conservative. Maybe folks are just more individualistic and are respectful of you being a little different. At any rate, I am happy that the pressure is off for you and  that it looks so good for you.
   I'm putting in my guess that female, suitor #4 is the friend who asked if you are trans. My mind can't help but remember the show Northern Exposure from a few years back  as I read your adventures. I am torn between watching the next Downton Abby or looking for more on your thread. lol

@ Gertrude:   Actually, aside from my recent coming-out dilemma that is now mostly done.... I rather enjoy going places around town, bumping into people on the street I know by name, doing business with stores and restaurants where they know my name and I know theirs.   

It is very comforting for me to know that if my car gets stuck on the road, or I am in distress or whatever that I will know that there will be people that I know that will stop and help... or that I can call people I know and get help and not from strangers that may or may not be of the best character. 

Here the townspeople are very trusting once they get to know you.  Of course, like anywhere one goes there are always the misfits, criminals and untrustworthy people but they are mostly difficult to find.

The big drawback here is that I have to drive a very long way to get to any large city like Anchorage or a smaller big city like Fairbanks.   Anchorage is a little closer and that is where I go when I want to go to Costco once every 6 to 8 weeks to stock up and to go shopping... or to go to a medical specialist like my endo..    That inconvenience is more than offset by all the good things about living here....  no sirens at night, no heavy traffic, no freeways nor even any 4 lane roads, and only 4 stoplights.  And the scenery here is spectacular... the in-town views and views from my home of snow capped mountains is breathtaking ... ..  nearby skiing and hiking, etc.... and lots of fishing and hunting opportunities.

All in all, I really like my small, tight knit, and local parochial setting as compared to a large city where one can get "lost" in the crowd.... but I do understand that there are people that do want to get lost in the crowd... not really knowing some of the their neighbors or merchants, and lots of traffic and congestion.. 

Thank you for your reply, I respect your opinion and I am glad that you voiced it.

[Karen]

Thanks Danielle all your openness.  So glad the burden is lifted.  Your town sounds great, and that they see you for the amazing and positive woman you are.  They are blessed to have you there!

Can't wait to hear what's next...I kept checking over the day rather than working

@ Moni: Yes, lots of winter, lots of snow, lots of sub-zero temps in the winter which can be at least 6 to 8 months long.  In December, the days are very short with any kind of real daylight for just a few hours at most.  Summer time is fairly brief, perhaps just a couple months, in June the days are very long... with sunrise at 3 am and sunset around 11 pm or midnight.  Sometimes night time is just kinda like twilight, never really dark for long.  Summer temps can be 50 perhaps up to 60 or 65 degrees.

My little town is many hours drive to the large Alaska towns like Fairbanks or Anchorage.  About every 6 to 8 weeks I will go to those cities for Costco shopping and other shopping trips, usually with 2 or 3 women friends.  My endo is in Anchorage also.

Yes, I love the small town scene of us all being invested in our community together.... this is a place that I know all of my neighbors and most of the merchants in town... and they know me by name as well...... that fact is what caused my stress over coming-out to the townspeople, but that is all behind me know.

Yes, you are correct, (female) Suitor #4 is my very dear friend that asked me if I was trans....   more about her in the near future.... maybe tonight? .... right now I need to catch up on my work .... with all that has been going on last night and today I am having a difficult time getting into my work....  so it will be a late night at my office.... 
It is now just 5 pm here so I am going next door to get a bite to eat then back to work.

Thanks for your reply....
Hugs,
Danielle
