You never know what you’ll find


To preface this post and title, I was shopping at my local Salvation Army a few years ago when a lady asked if I was shopping for my wife and I answered no, I’m shopping for myself and then I showed her a picture of “Louise”Her comment was  

“You never know what you’ll find in here”

I suspected she was making a condescending remark and always kept a skeptical eye out when talking with her. 

This Saturday night something like that happened again, but this time it was reversed. As I was socializing at our usual Karaoke lounge a person came up and reminded me he had re-introduce an old classmate and business colleague to me the week before. We laughed about the interaction of my old acquaintance and his discomfort of seeing his, rough tough old friend in a dress and him not being able to accept it.

This person said, I have no issue with it, in fact my Brother in Law went all the way, he was a cop from a City about 60 miles North of Atlantic City, I mentioned the person’s name and he said yea, that’s my Brother in Law and brought out his cell phone with pictures from about 2 weeks ago at a family wedding.

I had met this person about 6-7 years ago on line and we met at a social setting in a Casino, my wife was with me. He was a really class person and looked great and sounded just like a woman, although he was about 6’3 tall.

We hit it off reasonably well and we invited him down again (he liked going to the casinos) so we went to dinner and he gave us both PBA cards since he was the VP of the State PBA association.
He was a nice person, but since she considered herself a woman now after SRS, I somewhat was a negative attraction. Usually TS’s distance themselves from Cross dressers as I attempt to distance myself from Drag Queens, we’re in the same grouping but have different reasons for dressing up.
Never the less I had to use the quote.

“You never know what you’ll find”

It is a very small world as you tend to run into people who are connected to other people that you have met along the way.
As usual I agree with your observations. To the civilian population you or I may just be another guy in a dress and they may see and feel the same about all transgender folks but there are significant differences between a transexual and a cross dresser as well as between a CD and a drag queen.
