Ok, so yesterday my soon to be ex had breast surgery.. So I am doing all kinds of things getting out in front of people newly full time..
I mean lots of things out of my comfort zone.
So I do the best makeup I can and my bruises still show so while she was in surgery I ran some errands.
I took her prescriptions and dropped off at Walgreens.. and thought they had some yellow tint that could work as a base to help hide my bruises... they did not and told me to go to Beauty Brands. So I went..
Anyway the girls helping me were so pretty.. one very young and other in her thirties..
She said they had something new and amazing that will be there this week for that I can't remember what she called it but offered to do some touch up to hide my bruises.
Well so I am sitting there and she said what kind of surgery did you have? So I said I had FFS... and she said what is that.. so I said I am trans and explained the surgery.
She said so you were a guy?? And I said yes.
Well the young chick mouth dropped open and she was like this is so awesome.. you are so beautiful. The girl working on me was like I know someone trans and is a friend and I have lots of gay friends..
You have to come to some of our parties we have such a good time....
Then she said I am just going to re do your makeup and lets see what we can do to hide the bruises ..
We went on to talk as she worked and the young girl was just smiling ear to ear and was like I am so happy for you this is amazing.
They went on in the end to say they felt honored to meet me and got my telephone number..
Anyway, I get extensions Thursday so plant to see her at 10:30am for makeup on Friday before my Therapist appt.
The moral of the story is we can lose friends but find real love and friendship later that is meaningful and real.
My therapist said it would happen and it has more than once. Not everyone can pass but that's not the point.. the point is being you and real.
We are a unique human.. different than most but what's wrong with that.
Folks that have a problem with trans or LGBT well that's their problem.... not ours.
