This is not my current ID card. There's a part of me that still wishes I had the nursing home receptionist gig. It didn't pay as well as I'm being paid now, but I had more of a chance to socialize with people. And that's one of the reasons this trans woman wants to be in the workforce.

Recently, Rhonda posted an entry on her blog about her life as a transgender person. Like Rhonda, I feel that my body defines me less as a woman than the social life I want to lead. (Read her post - I think you'll enjoy it..) When people don't know that I am transgender, they usually take me for a cisgender woman. And that's the way I like it when presenting as a female.
When I got home from work today, I tried to reach a couple of friends who were not able to talk when I called. So I tried reaching out to my new friend in NYC from the other night, and we had a great chat. Hopefully, we'll be able to meet soon, now that the pandemic is starting to wane and it is slowly becoming safe to meet people in person at restaurants again. Given that my new friend is 77 years old and has had both of her vaccinations, it's no risk to her if we meet. So I may just schedule something for sometime soon....
Sadly, our chat had to end when my Wednesday night zoom games meetup started - and that lasted a little longer than usual. It was a small group tonight, and we had fun. Hopefully, we'll have more people next week....
