Hey Girls,
So the latest interesting events in the life of Ginger were a bit of a scare for me, but only temporarily and quite enjoyable.
Saturday I met up with a TG/GG couple I know for dinner and was great as always. She looks better and better as her transition continues and am so proud and happy for her. We will be arranging another get together for December and cannot wait to see them both again as they both are really awesome folks and it has been a pleasure getting to know them over the past year and think so much of them both!
Afterwards I came back home to change into more casual attire (jeans, Tshirt and flats vs dress, tights and boots) to meet up with my roomie and her friends at a bar. While I was changing I get a ring at the door...I throw on my shirt to finish changing into casual girl mode and answer my door. It's my neighbor and she wants to come in and talk to me....I invite her in and am clueless as to what for. Answering the door in drag isn't a big deal for me and could care less (unless my mom was at the door :O) as most of my neighbors have seen me coming and going as a girl and have talked to a few of them in the process and have even picked up mail from the front office as well. She was super friendly and did not want to come off as being too complaining but wanted to talk about a way to help with keeping my roomies dog quiet (she barks like hell when we leave and can be very annoying at times). She is understanding as she has a dog of her own and was super friendly and we worked out a plan for keeping the dog in check and exchanged numbers. Never a word about me being in drag as I am sure her bf had already told her (hey btw our new neighbor is a tranny hun!) since I had met him already as Ginger. Very cool girl and I think she will make a great neighbor.
After the neighbor meet and greet I head to a bar to meet my roomie and friends as they really wanted me to come out with them. I was reluctant of the bar as I didn't care for but came for their sake. As soon as I am walking in with them I see an old frat brother sitting at the bar (The Scary Part!)...I immediately do a 180 and leave! He would not have recognized me as a girl but the people I was with he knew some of them and well....yeah I would have been spotted if he came over and talked to them. I texted my roomie and told her why I had to leave. They all decided to leave and hang out at the apartment so we could all hang out together which was very nice of them and I didn't expect them to do. We drank and played dice and talked. Had a good time.
I got to know one of the guys pretty well. Big tough Army guy who didn't bat an eye or show one sign of weirdness towards me, seeing as he was the macho type, which was nice. We spent hours talking about cars, music and work after everyone had passed out for the night. Really cool guy. Funny thing is he was talking about steroids and a lot of guys getting gyno from it in the Army that he knows.....I was thinking in my head I am used to that result on the opposite end of the spectrum and the results are welcomed haha.
The next evening we all hung out again and grilled out. I was just a guy this time though. Me and the army guy picked up were we left off this time we probably spent 2 hours talking about nothing but metal bands and concerts. As a guy or girl it was the same exact treatment and respect which was really cool. I must say my roomie was very jealous as she has the hots for this guy and I had all of his attention most of the weekend. She told me today I can never be a girl around any guys she likes haha. She was joking as I don't think he was interested in me in that way, just interested in me as we share many of the same interests.
One thing I am still a bit awkward about is when hanging out with people who knew me as a guy first when I am a girl is the whole gender change/ name change/ identity thing. I still act the same as I do as a female or male. My personality is always the same regardless of the gender I am or who I am with. The only thing that changes is my voice and appearance. I am still not comfortable with changing my identity to people who knew me first as a guy as far as using my feminine voice or female name. They all still refer to me as George and I am fine with that and prefer it since they have always known me as that but eventually plan to change that to my female name once they are all use enough to my girl side. One issue I will have to figure out is being in public settings with them and what they refer to me as. I don't want bystanders to turn around and be like "What? Did they just call that chick George and He?...WTF" when out in public. I don't want to confuse them either going between two names and all and he and shes etc....I guess these are good problems right?
Another weekend to remember. Hope you enjoyed!
