Last few days Ive been feeling it...hell yeah, Im on the mountain top...Im living the dream ....walking around town in my new outfits...settling in at an office full of coworkers that now refer to me as Jen...one client after another praising me on my courage and wishing me well...this cant get any better!!!....I am all woman now....no more trans here, right? WRONG!!! This morning I stopped in for coffee with a colleague...the girl behind the counter forgot her tea...I reminded her about her tea...what did I get?...oh Im sorry sir...lol...wtf?...did I get pissed...no..did I get sad?...no...I pretended not to have heard it and took the coffee and tea. Heres the thing...the girl wasnt being rude...I know how to handle rude....she simply picked up a male vibe...saw a face that screamed trans...heard a less than female voice and being she was crazy busy, she gave no thought to how she responded. When I got back to my desk....I started to think...Ill never be female...I will always be different...whoa is me...but then it occurred to me...being different is beautiful...unique...hell, its what Ive been preaching on Facebook for the last five years. Am I supposed to change all that just because I now work as Jen? Hell no...so I reminded myself that I am strong, confident and courageous and that I will succeed despite others first impressions...Ill rock their worlds with my smile and enthusiasm....yeah , Im trans...butcha know what? maybe its a good thing for me to proudly represent instead of constantly trying to pass.
