Hi everyone,
I have had some uncomfortable encounters with LGBT-friendly people. Yesterday's one was, "nice wig, can I touch it?" He wouldn't go away until he touched it (it was really very creepy).
I had another encounter with a gay guy once who asked me whether or not my breasts were real. I think he meant well, but was overly friendly and direct. At least he was willing to accept "that's personal" as an answer.
When it comes down to it, I don't want to be touched, and I don't want to be asked about my "private parts", regardless of whether or not their trans or trans-friendly.
Consequently, and perhaps paradoxically, I feel more comfortable in non-trans-friendly places: just an average restaurant or bar.
Anyone else feel this way?
