Well... one more interesting thing happened today. I'll write about that then call it a day.
Remember that picture I posted a few days ago when Sue and I went out to eat with me rocking the country girl look? I posted that to my Facebook page, too. I was experimenting with the "tag" feature where you attach a name to faces in pictures, and accidentally tagged my wife, then went back and removed the tag.
She runs with her own social crowd that involves her favorite sport (indoor badminton). Some of them have met me in my previous incarnation, but I never spent much time with them, usually preferring to stay home and work in the shop or go flying. Most of them only know me through stories that Sue's told them of some of our exploits. They've always invited me to come to open play or hang out with them socially, but it rarely worked out. And they know nothing about my transition.
But... All of a sudden that picture is getting Likes from people I don't know. Whuh??? It turns out that I didn't get that tag off her picture after all. So her Facebook friends, most of whom are her badminton buddies, have been seeing the picture and liking it. (Got a Like from her brother, too, who she just told about me last week.)
Actually, neither of us minds all that much. Sue just rolls with everything as it comes along, and has even been encouraging me to just show up at their get togethers and let the chips fall as they may. And I don't really care either, as long as they continue to treat her well.
But we're curious if they really understand who that other girl is in the picture?
