I attended the second annual transgender health fair at the local center on Wednesday. I said to my wife that I will probably see a few people that know. I saw one person I never expected to see.
Fran is a volunteer with the same organization that I discussed about earlier. She didn't recognize me because she's never seen me dressed but recognized her. Fran and I got to talking and I mentioned who I was. She was so surprised because she didn't know that I was trans. Fran has been a post op transsexual for over two decades. There is another woman at the same organization that is butch lesbian. It sure is a small world. It's wonderful because we can relate in more ways than the work we do. Someday I would love to have lunch with these ladies.
I also learned that my son's g/f has a cousin who wears women's clothing and is gay. My wearing women's clothes doesn't bother her. I shared more with my wife about transgender and what it means. I told her about the health fair and that opened up quite a conversation. I expressed my desire to work for transgender rights and be more involved with transgender issues.
I'm finding more trans sisters everywhere. This has been a wonderful week having discovered all the aforementioned events. Actually, the wonderful week began Sunday when I declared myself a transgender woman. Yes, I've known that all this time, I just want to make public something I did in private. Every few months or so I cross a threshhold and this was another one.
