i am soooo excited i must share this with others. i went to the local Italian labor day fest at my church. and as i was sitting eating a family sat down next to me at one of the large community tables as it is like a carnival with rides and such. when i turned to glance to my right i started chatting with this family. who said i looked familiar. when i mentioned i had 2 selves their eyes lightened up and the child's mom's (yes that is correct plural) introduced me to their teen child who currently is male. suddenly the conversation changed to the transgender topic and it turns out their son is planning on transitioning. we had a great conversation till it was time to leave where we exchanged phone numbers for future info. this was sooooo cooool. smile emoticon it was the last thing i would have thought possible this evening as i had attempted to blend is as usual the photo shows what i had worn for the evening. a tiny bit dressy since it was a sunday evening.
You look very nice in that outfit. Quite appropriate for the event. The discussion you had sounds like it was unexpected, but very beneficial for them, as well as for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Mandy
thank you Mandy. i always dress to blend in for both the event and the time of year.
