Anyone ever have one of those days that you look back on it and say to yourself "Did that really happen to me"

.....

I have kept my secret dear to my heart for many many years, and all of a sudden today while i was at clients i got asked "How far along are you in your transition?" This was like dropping a bomb into the center of my life.....

I had no idea what to say or how to react so i just sheepishly replied "Is it that obvious". To which she replied no, not to other people but she works for a local endocrinologist and it is a game she plays with other employess on "Guessing the real girl".

We talked for hours (supposed to be a 1 hour appointment) and i actually had her set me up a appointment for next thursday to see the doc. I was told due to hippa laws that i have nothing

to ever worry about as no medical information can ever be released.

My cousenlor whom i have been seeing for years has never left me feeling like this. I was able to actually share and converse with a stranger about myself and have never felt more relieved.

I even got some tips on my brows with an open ended invitation to come over for make-up tips and help anytime i need......

I am on cloud 9 and just wanted to share this with you all....

"she works for a local endocrinologist and it is a game she plays with other employess on "Guessing the real girl"."

I seriously majority gasped out loud at this.... I don't think I've ever gasped at anything online before.... I feel like I should expect to start feeling violently ill very soon. :/

We're just a sick little game to some people? and you befriended this sick piece of ->-bleeped-<- excuse for a human? :O
I wonder how much she'll gossip about you behind your back now... I mean like... more so than before.

I've been the way I am now most of my life and I don't see myself using the 'Transwoman' tag! I never use it or would want to use it.

Hey Jess,
maybe you ask next time: "And how long would have you transitioned?"

Oh, you say you're GG?! Um, never have thought so!

The bitch. Sorry :-)

C.A. would have said: "Bitch, if were you I would kiss me...", ha ha.

Yea because if a person who otherwise proves to be very helpful and friendly as the OP said, if they makes a single questionable comment they are a ->-bleeped-<-ty excuse for a human  ]

Glad your getting clocked turned out well Jess.

Thats my take on this thing.

I came out one place to be greeted with, "we've known about you for months and were just wondering when you would get around to being honest with us".  Darned near made up for a four year deficit balance on hugs!!

I think some people look to hard to get offended.  If we refrained from EVERYTHING that anyone or any group found offensive, it would be a humorless and drab world. Playing is she or isn't she is a far cry from shouting "->-bleeped-<-" and pointing. I myself look for humor everywhere and I have definately found plenty stuff regarding TG/TS to laugh about, including myself, even if it means laughing to keep from crying.

We are a statistical oddity and breaking gender norms will always get peoples attention (at least in our lifetime).  If you don't pass, people will notice and you are likely to be the topic of discussion be cause we are.....interesting.  Hell, when I'm with my BFF Melissa, we play that game too (is she or isnt she?) and I'd say most of you are lying if you said you havent done the same.

As TS, we are hyper aware of gender cues (as are people that work with us professionally) and we are more capable of putting the clues together to ascertain if someone has or is trying, to breach the gender divide.  Your new friend sounds lke a nice girl with a good sense of humor.
