As I have been coming out, I have gotten acceptance and some questions. No one has yet to wonder how being trans will affect me socially over the long haul.
So now I had an interesting experience today. My wife is in the hospital and is staying on a unit that can go to the cafeteria for meals if they choose. I joined that group for lunch and Nancy has introduced me to all of them as her wife. A lady is walking by and Nancy introduces me to her and she makes some comment like "Oh, you are lesbian" and walks away. The table is then all talking about how it could be tough being lesbian couple as some people won't understand and of course each has to recount how they have gay friends.
This struck me a little funny. Just hitting the full time point, I figured that being trans would be a subject of many discussions but they don't either see it in me or care. But being lesbian is worth wondering if we struggle with interacting with people. A little topsy turvy.
