It's a small world after all...

[GG Vanya]

Trudi and I live in a very small town, where coming in contact with "others in our lifestyle" is almost unheard of...

But today I found out (via Trudi) that one of the groundskeepers for the golf course at our CC is the gossip of the week. It seems we're going to have a TS at our club. Yep, she's having SRS (M2F) soon. :happy:

Of course, all the "he men knuckle draggers" are engaging in the usual derogatory remarks. IF one disparaging comment is made in my presence, they're going to find out I'm not so quiet and bashful.

I can't begin to imagine the courage it must take for anyone to pursue SRS in a big city, much less a small Southern town such as we live in. (about 130K)

My heart goes out to her, and though I'll most likely never get the opportunity, I'd love to congratulate her for her courage. So, if you're a M2F TS in a small southern town, and you work at a country club, consider yourself congratulated! :D

Arms out in "Puppet Love". I couldn't een imagine the responses here. Though there is one other CDer who is in his fifties and lives at home and buys bras openly in our one department store.

There is courage you may have to squint but it it there.

Strange but true, I was at work today and was working with two GG's that do not know about Jodi Lynn and they started to take about a new person at work. Now this was news to me. One said that we have a he/she working with us now, the other GG was shocked and said that was just wrong to let someone like that work where we work (support staff for local schools). Well, I may have outted myself. I came to her defence, I said that was her businnes and that if she felt so strongly about being in the wrong body that was her chose. I also said that she has to be very brave to come to work here, with all the rednecks we work with (but I didn't say the redneck part). I used to many terms not to know what I am talking about around them for them not to think somethiong about me too. I asked if she is in transition or if she had had srs. They said in transition and I said well that is an important part of transitioning living as a woman, and that they have to do that before srs. The one said well you can tell because of the adams apple that she is a he. Anyways I ended up saying it is no big deal to me. I don't know if they figered me out or not, but now I am going to have to find this girl let her know that someone around the place cares.

After being outed at work one GG who I knew only as a working relationship told me in passing that "You Gotta Be Who you Are". I appreciated the comment but then she never talked to me if any of the talk was true but was only going by the gossip.:o In fact the gossip mill never asked if anything was true they just accepted it as truth and talked accordingly. So much for people in the business of finding out the truth.:(

Small? Where I live the county-wide population is about 70K, town itself is half that. I had the pleasure at work of waiting on a very obvious cd/tg several weeks ago, a retired state cop who everyone but me knew about.
And upstate Michigan is a pretty redneck area, too!

Why is it so wrong? Do they think TG is contagious, or that we're perverts or something? :Angry3:

Do you actually come into contact with the students?

:eek: That's very brave of you Jodi. Well done! There's a special place in Heaven for people like you. I hope what you've said doesn't cause any problems for you at work.

I just love the gossips. I am open to all who want to know, if they ask me direct. One GG is so "understanding" but will not ask me direct, but would rather find out via the rumour mill.

Another GG and I have great fun concocting my "development" from male to female. (I hasten to add that this is not the case, I am content to be a CD).
We then sit back and watch her reaction and see how quick the gossip spreads :devil:

Teresa, I think I got you beat. The county I live in in da U.P. has about 30k people in the whole county, probably more than half in the various little towns around the county. A post-op that I know from a really little town up here did some of her real-life test locally and one of the GGs where we worked made life difficult for her by insisting that she not be allowed to use the woman's bathroom. She was allowed to leave the property to use the bathroom, how ridiculous! I don't recall any other incidents at work but there was enough gossip. I'll say one thing for her, it all just rolled off her like water off a duck. Of course, a couple of tours of duty in Viet Nam will do that for you. After you've been shot at a lot, words just don't have much meaning.

Way to go, Jodi! :thumbsup:
