I’m really struggling with something to journal today …..<\/p>\n

That’s odd.<\/p>\n

Because I have a lot to write about …. so it’s not a dearth of topics …… in fact, I need to write about one event in particular ….. cause I’m curious to evaluate my feelings in a couple of situations.<\/p>\n

In a completely professional setting, I met a t-girl.
\n
\nI don’t think she suspected I could tell ….<\/p>\n

But who knows ……<\/p>\n

I’m sure she’s as skilled at deception as I …..<\/p>\n

But I couldn’t get it outta my head that I could tell, her being t didn’t bother me at all ….<\/p>\n

But me being able to tell did.<\/p>\n

It made me uncomfortable about myself being in that same position someday …..<\/p>\n

Huh ?<\/p>\n

What I mean is that for all appearances ….. she appeared as any other 50+ woman ….<\/p>\n

Very passable<\/i> – I know I’m the only one in the limited setting that noticed.<\/p>\n

Very nice<\/i> – she presented herself as a sweet, intelligent lady.<\/p>\n

But I could tell ….. she was passing, but I could tell.<\/p>\n

And this was the first time I had ever met her.<\/p>\n

Which kinda, sorta, mighta throw a bit of a wrench into my twist on the whole gender imprinting theory that I have incorporated into the Decision episodes …… and how I would implement a transition if I chose Option 1.<\/p>\n

What were the tells ?? Well …<\/p>\n

It certainly was not appearance …. she was shorter than I ….. physically fit ……<\/p>\n

I’d guess she’s had ffs …. if not, then ….. “Beeaaatch” \ud83d\ude42 ……. cause her face was non-telling …..<\/p>\n

No …… if anything told me …… maybe the voice ……<\/p>\n

It wasn’t bad by any means ….. also very passable ….. pitch was in proper location ….. word usage was appropriate.<\/p>\n

But something about it just wasn’t right to me ….. prolly the reasonance and sing-song qualities …. ‘spose that got me thinking first …..<\/p>\n

But honestly …… I’d probably say I sensed it more than anything else ….<\/p>\n

And that bothers me a lot ….. ’cause here is incredibly passable woman …… but I’m still sensing it …..<\/p>\n

Could others ??<\/p>\n

If so …. I don’t want that to be me.<\/p>\n

And what the heck was I sensing anyways ….. because if I could figure that out …. maybe I could remedy it !!<\/p>\n

I don’t get it …. ’cause I have a few in-person t-friends (yeah, really, ‘magine that) ….<\/p>\n

And though we’ve looked and laughed at their old boy pictures, and I’ve heard their old voices ….. I sense nothing but girl from them …<\/p>\n

And don’t think of them in any other way.<\/p>\n

But here …. I was sensing guy still ….. grrrrrrr<\/p>\n

I just don’t get it …. maybe it’s a generational thing (and don’t any of you dare make a comment about MY age !!! :P) …..<\/p>\n

This gal was well into the generation before me …..<\/p>\n

And though I’m in the last year of the baby boomer cut-off …. most of my friends (except for Shaft …. we’re the same age) …. are X-ers ….. 4-5 years younger than me …. and that’s pretty much the group I identify with …. and behave as ….. WE.<\/p>\n

But that doesn’t make any sense ….<\/p>\n

Because I’ve met some t-girls older than me …. much older in some cases, tyvm …. and I don’t\/didn’t sense anything but girl with them.<\/p>\n

Krap ….. journaling this down hasn’t helped me figure it out ….<\/p>\n

Hmmmm …. maybe I have more defects that I thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
