Ever wonder if you were not read as a crossdresser or transgendered person if the positive experiences that you had would have happened?
I have often wondered if the extra friendly services I had at stores, restaurants and etc. would have happened if I were not pegged out as a crossdresser. I know that I wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet and chat with Mark McKinney (Kids in the Hall comedian) before their show or had been approached by a friend of the lead actor of a crossdressing themed Fringe Festival play to come join them backstage after the show.
Would people still come up to me with encouraging and ego boosting remarks like "You Rock", "Wish I had legs like that", "You go Girl", "Love your style" and "You're amazing" if they thought that I was female? Would I get those warming smiles by people passing by?
More importantly, are back my heels not marked up by child driven shopping carts cause of the extra awareness of my presence ?
