A crossdressing friend invited me over to her apartment today for some "girly time chat", in which I accepted. Seeing that the weather was quite mild (and perhaps some influence from an earlier thread), I opted to wear a stylish maroon coloured satin blouse, a black blazer, a black pencil skirt, extra shine nude pantyhose and maroon heels. A look that I haven't done for awhile.
I decided to take the bus instead of the car. I was quite surprised to see another friend from the LGBT* community (she's not a tg/cd person though) on the same bus. I obviously sat with her and we talked a bit. She was wondering if I was on my way to work or for an interview. I laughed at her assumption. Apparently she figured that I was swaying the down the path of her other transgendered friends have taken lately. I reassured her that my crossdressing wouldn't go that way.
Anyhoo, I got to my destination and was very shocked to see my friend dressed very sharply. She had on a gorgeous sweater dress with a cute belt, fashion tights and a nice pair of ankle boots. I can't recall ever seeing her not in denim (jeans or skirt). She was telling me that she started to have an appreciation for the dressier looks and has accumulated quite the wardrobe with that influence. After chatting for 1/2 hour she excused herself to make a pot of coffee, as she knows that I don't like the instant crap. She quickly returned and mentioned that we need to go out for the coffee as she had none. So I suggested walking to The Fyxx which is an upper scale coffee cafe than the popular Tim Hortons. The Fyxx during the weekdays are mostly populated by people in their business suits and etc.
She told me that she had to fix up abit before we go, eventhough I assured her that she looked wonderful. 15 minutes later she came out of her bedroom wearing jeans, a cami, a sweater and stylish type of sneakers (okay I confess the sneakers were quite cute though). I had no issues of her dressing down as she may not be comfortable with the dressy look out in public.....
BUT
In her arms she had a pair of jeans and a sweater for me to change into. She insisted that I wear more "blending in" clothing so that way we don't stick out as a couple of crossdressers. Of course I declined her "offer" and off we went.
As we were walking the couple of blocks, I noticed that she was trying to distance herself from me a bit. Hmmm kind of transphobic you think?
I ordered my coffee first so I was the one to choose where we sit and I chose to sit in the "common" area where interactions with other people is quite frequently seen. Before my friend got her specialty made beverage, 2 gentlemen and a lady (all nicely dressed) sat in the area and started chatting with me. I recognized one of the gentleman and the lady as political figures. My friend seemed to be somewhat nervous as she sat down. Could it be that she felt out of place wearing her "blending in" attire, eventhough she wasn't the only one in the place wearing denim?
Well her words after the coffee outting were "I should have not worn these jeans"
