Hi girls,

It was such a beautiful day Friday that I decided to make it a Steffie day and went out shopping to the Asheville mall. I went to various stores, tried on lots of clothes (was allowed to use the dressing room in all stores), got some great things (clothes, shoes) and had dinner in the early evening.

Before going home, though I stopped at a Wal-Mart to pick up a few things for home (about 10 PM). As I was walking down one of the isles, a man was looking at me. The way he was looking I was fearing that maybe he was someone who may have known me as my male self and was trying to place me. (YIKES!) My heart started beating a mile a minute (I'm not out to anyone). When he started talking, he asked me if I were ever at the Southern Comfort Conference (which is for TG girls in Atlanta). Then I realized "he" was a "she" and was really a TG girl like me but she was dressed en-drab. Her femme name was Jessica. I told Jessica that I was never at that conference. She confused me with someone else I guess. In fact, since I have moved down here, I had not yet met any TG girls. She said there are a lot of TG girls here near Asheville (she knew of one that moved from NJ like me even!) and would let me know about the various meetings/activities pertaining to them.

So it turned out to be a great day!

I finally met a TG girl in Carolina!

You want to know the final ironic thing? After I was done shopping and went to my car, who do you think was parked next to me? Yes it was the TG girl Jessica! Small world, huh? lol

Below are pics.

It sounds like you are trying to make up for lost time. I am glad you are getting out and meeting other sisters.

Steffie,

I'm always curious when I see one of my 'sisters' out there, but I usually don't approach them. There's no way to get around the fact that they've been "read" if I comment to them about anything CD related.

Early on, some guy passed me without saying anything. From behind me I heard, "You're doing a beautiful job!" I think I waved one hand, and didn't turn around, but I smiled when I thought, "Yeah, so good a job that you read me!" I liked the attention, but it's a mixed feeling.

Anyway, this one worked for you!

This could become an interesting topic. I do remember the topic of should we or should we not approach another of "us" out in public and the general consensus seemed to be NO! But then begs the question, who is more likely to read us and teenage girls aside, it is most likely one of our own ilk or some gay guy. As for the gays, they just have this built in radar so they don't really count either

.

The Southern Comfort approach is something that I had not thought of but it is still "approaching" so I guess it is up to the individual doing the "reading" as to whether or not to approach!

Hope Steffie is able to get involved in the local group there. It is such an "artsy" community I would think they would have a fairly active, yet given the geographically area, a somewhat lowkey group!

Keep us posted.
