Our Real Life TG Tales

[Stefani]

Sooo many threads here in telling our stories; each with its own independent thread line... My idea is for all to tell their tales in ONE thread; like this one. This way you can post your true stories; and easily see others stories as well, without having to search through all 796 of these threads. A 'consolidation' effort one could say? I just think this might be a good idea for a thread dedicated to our real life adventures (and mis-adventures) in being TG women. Personally; I'm very much in the closet and I have plenty - I'd imagine every TG gal reading this has their own...the classic 'first time out' at 4AM to the mailbox? STranded on the roof for 10 hrs? CAught by landlord at age 12?

Its CHicago in the mid 80's. In living on Cortland near Wood St. in the Bucktown area. GREAT place! A small 2 bedroom apt in a building owned by Gunter; a freind of Armin who owns the small manufacturing company I still work for. Great place, cheap rent! And be;eive it or not; just a 15 min walk to work (where we were at the time). AND WAS MY GIRL EVER IN FULL BLOOM! Just me and my very good natured cat. The building - built in the 1890's I think - is like 2 buildings in one; and a very important factor to note. 3 story building (most were 2). There were the front larger apts; and then through a gangway a side door and hallway to the back apts. Mine on the 1st floor. That hallway was front foor to me in the back; but the back door to the front half neighbors. My OWN back door was to an enclosed porch accessible to only the back 3 apt tennants.
Now after the girl upstairs moved; floors 2 and 3 above me were going to be used by Gunter's adult kids....Petra (fl3) was in Europe for 6 months and 2nd floor empty. Also in the back is the only access to the building's roof. Now you got to paint a picture here for yourself in realizing what I had...in the back half; with the only roof access; I could be as out and proud as I wished! And no one the wiser! The enclosed porch kept me 'in the closet' and since most buildings were 2 flats; I had that roof too! The whole place was practically mine to do with as I wished! (The landlord; Gunter, lived in Park Ridge, btw). Truly in TG heaven - Id be all gussied up and walk around i the 2 vacant apts above me; and LOVED to hang out on the roof! Great views and no one could see me, either! Had a deck chair out there; a little table...Id watch the sunrise. DO everything up there as Stefani - sun myself in a white and red bikini...it was a great summer. Being out and about on the roof; yet in the closet at the same time! "All Things Must Pass" as the George Harrison album said... And in Sep Petra moved in; meaning I had to stay in my apt while 'en femme'. My point here is in yes; telling a tale in its own right but also painting a picture (or environment) for future tales while I lived there...there's a few! :p
