I swear this happened last nite! I was with a T friend in Vegas. Now, she passes all the time everywhere.
I pass at midnite on a moonless nite in a power outage. Until I speak.
We were getting something to eat in the Gold Nugget. It was a well lit cafe. I was hoping that would perk her up after too many martunies!
I was helping to feed her when a young woman with a tiny terrier in her purse starts a conversation. We chatted about standard stuff for a few minutes. Her puppy happily licking the burger juice off my bare fingers. I mentioned there were a whole bunch of "us" partying upstairs if she wanted to join us? She asked who "we" were? I told her "trans woman". Then, she shocked me by asking, "U mean you're not a woman?" I explained I was a crossdresser and my friend was trans. She replied, "No way! I assumed u were an older woman with a bad wig!"
Ok, she was young and possibly naive. But, NOT drunk or stoned.
Sherry has passed a few times around Halloween and at costumed events. But, up close? I never have before!
So, if it happened to me? I guess it could happen anyone!
