Today I have met some people that I have spoken to previously at a birthday party I was attending.
One of the ladies has a young niece who is at the tender age of thirteen. Chris (the aunty) had been telling her niece that she had met a woman who used to be a man. The reason Chris mentioned this is because her niece is feeling that she is in the wrong body and wants to be a boy.
It sounded as if Chris gave a glowing report of my transition which the youngster found intriguing.
The niece took off to her room and began to crochet a lipstick holder for me. It is multi coloured but predominantly pink.
Chris gave it to me today along with how it came to be made.
I was really moved that a young stranger would do this for me.

After receiving this gift I went back to my table and set it down before explaining the story behind it. A couple of the ladies saw the funny side and mentioned that it could be a warmer for those less endowed men in the room.
Out of respect for the young persons gift I put a stop to the fun and slipped it in to my handbag.
