O.K., now I've gone and done it. Could be skydiving without a 'chute, could be scuba diving in the Pink Sea©, whatever it is, I think I just transcended my own expectations, maybe blew the top off of my personal pressure cooker.
Last week my spouse and I were at a meeting at my congregation, where I was basically in "high androgeny," a pose I've kinda taken with that particular group (click here if you want more on that story) (http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=119189&highlight=auxillary).
There was a woman I know sitting at our table. Her outfit included symbols that I recognized as signs of membership in a particular women-only group. It is a group that I have always dreamed of joining.
When I commented on her lovely outfit, she said that it included symbols of membership in that group and I said, "Oh! I've always thought it would be great fun to be a member!"
She said, "Maybe you and your spouse should join us! I'm the group leader. We're meeting next Wednesday night for dinner."
I said "Thanks! We'd love to!" and went back around the table to where my spouse was sitting.
A few minutes later she motioned me over. When I slid into the seat next to her she said, "There's a problem. It's a women only group. I can't put your name on the roster."
I kinda hemmed and hawed a bit and finally said, "I have another name."
She smiled and said, "And what would that be?"
So I dove in and told her my femme name.
We spent a few minutes discussing how I've been transgendered my entire life and how I could present as a woman. I also told her that she would be seeing a completely different person and that I would be very embarrassed if she told others that I didn't exactly belong to the group. She said she understood.
She then said, "O.K., see you Wednesday!"
Today was that Wednesday.
My spouse and I dressed up for the occassion, a dinner get-together at a local restaurant, drove over, and joined the other 14 ladies for dinner.
About 5 of them are women who probably recognize my spouse and my en drab persona and I swear to you, I apparently passed as my own twin sister!
At one point, our leader came over and quietly whispered to me, "You were so right! You really are a totally different person!"
At the end of the evening, my spouse and I turned in our dues for the year!
Now, I guess we'll see what happens when some of these ladies encounter my spouse and her husband, my twin brother, under other circumstances. I'm kinda dreading that part!
