This is the way I wish my face could have looked when I was younger. I'd have had a full head of hair, a female face, and a friendly, outgoing demeanor. Instead, I grew up as a male, with all the repression of my authentic self that many transgender people have.
Given America's march towards an unchecked authoritarian regime, I needed something to cheer me up, as I wouldn't be able to present as Marian until next week. Luckily, it was game night, and I made my trek to Yonkers for a fun night. And tonight, both host and hostess were there for games, giving me to talk about their TG son after the games ended.
While there, I sent a link to one of our gamers (a leftist) for an article showing how close America is to having a "French Style" revolution. I know he'll find that interesting when he gets the chance to read it. After the games were over, I had the chance to have a quick chat about the couple's TG son, finding out that almost everyone is trying to treat him with respect. Something I didn't ask about, but got an answer I was glad to know, was that their son won't be getting any hormone treatments until he is 18. I then mentioned that I felt they were doing the right thing, as he should be of legal age before making a permanent decision about his life and the body he will live in.
All too soon, it was time to leave. It was pouring when I made it to my car. So, I made my usual late night phone call to RQS (albeit, an hour early), while driving to Walmart for a second set of new bed linens. Now, I can alternate between sets on the bed and in the hamper. I didn't have the time to get to the supermarket as planned, but this wasn't a real problem for me. I can take care of that on my way back from Long Island this weekend.
