I really, REALLY hope whether I'm post-op or not never becomes relevant at a high school reunion. :)

My 20th is coming up, and I am considering it, although I'm not sure if I'll tell anyone who I am (I met my wife in high school, so I could go as her spouse regardless of whether I ID'd myself). It'd be kind of hilarious to see if anyone actually twigged to it. :)

I couldn't stand the people I went to high school with but my 10th was a blast! It was amazing to see what great people my old classmates became. Some of them were even all, "I'm so sorry I was so mean to you back in high school! Have a Corona!"

I missed my 15th. But I'm looking forward to my 20th. :)

I went to my 20th last November - it was a blast. People remembered me and many were pleased to see me.. There was, however, a conspicuous level of amnesia where my name was concerned..  :D

If anyone had any issues with the fact I was now a woman, they kept it to themselves. It was great to catch up with some of these people. There was one nasty incident later in the night, when some drunken random decided to have a go at me.. He found himself being taken away by 6 of the greek guys I went to HS with. Once they returned from giving the dude a stern talking to, I attempted to thank them and was told that no thanks were needed, they'd have done that for any of the girls.  :) This kinda floored me, as they has not been the most tolerant of diversity in the past.

One kinda funny comment I got told about later, 'I remember what she used to look like, why does she get to look good now?'.

I also ran in to my first GF, hadn't seen her since HS.. Seems none of my exGF's is completely straight. And just to create some gossip, we kissed. Shame her technique hasn't improved..

I didn't attend our 50th reunion, but most of my classmates know about my transition and as far as I know accepted it with no reservations.  It was no secret.  Many of us talk daily in facebook.

Nope, don't know if they've even had one. The high school I went to was converted to something else and they built a new one to combine two older high schools.  And after a brief exchange with someone from that part of my life, I've decided that any other contact with anyone from that time period would be a waste of time and effort.

A few months ago I was contacted (under my old name) by a high school classmate. She was putting together a graduating class facebook page and asked me to become a member.

I wanted to, but I realized my FB page has my new name, so I couldn't do it without coming out to everyone in my high school class.

I did.

It's been great. A lot of the women have communicated with me and I've gotten to know some of them. Everyone has mellowed. The people who wouldn't give me the time of day back then, now seem genuinely friendly. Everyone has been great.

I'm seriously considering attending my 35th reunion this spring.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?

A friend attended West Point as a male and went on to become a pilot. She went back to her class reunion and got asked out by a classmate. Lol. I've gone to a few news reunions, and while there were a few that wouldn't walk over, most were nice, even curious. Once we talked shop the trans thing disappeared. Kinda like stage fright. Or being back in high school.
