I usually go and get lunch from some food vendors that are near my work that work out of carts about the size of a delivery truck or small motor home. I like to get some food for $5 and then split it between 2 days, since I can't stomach a whole lunch anymore. There is a Thai food one that I have been frequenting for some time and I have talked to the lady who works up front with the customers. One thing that has never been discussed is my gender or TS status. She has always called customers sir or ma'am...except me. So, I suspected that she suspected I was TS. She has always been very kind to me and remembered what I usually order and even gave me a free lunch on my birthday.
Anyway, I had visited the cart last week after going fulltime and they was a different woman working there. Today is the first time I have seen the lady I have been talking to since going fulltime. She definitely recognized me and kept telling me how pretty I looked today. It was very busy at the time and she said if it weren't she would talk to me longer. It was a very positive experience it reaffirms my belief that there are many accepting people in this area.
