(51,666 posts)came in - looked like a regular tall, slender, athletically built young woman with wavy blonde hair cut perfectly, beautiful hands with perfect nails (if a bit mannish), and slender but distinctly muscled legs - wearing short shorts and a chic black top, cowl type scarf, boots, leather jacket.
She opened her mouth to speak and I had to do a double take. She is clearly a transvestite, but a VERY good one (good, as in very successful and doesn't look at all like a man). She had the speech and mannerisms of what one thinks of as a typical gay male.
In the afternoon when she picked up her cat she was in tight jeans and dressed more androgynously. She put her name on the record as a clearly male name but told me she goes by another, androgynous, name. I didn't ask any details or explanation (I think that would be rude) but I am pretty sure I'm correct about my take on her.
I just hadn't seen such a successful male >>> female example before. She's a very attractive, feminine, woman. Just was really interesting to me. Wish I looked as good.

What has eased the transition is the support of his family.
It's so rare for a transgender to hear this, he said. I want people to know you can have a good experience. It's not as scary as you think.
Supportive family - that's pretty cool.
