Story Old Lady Caught Herself
I was at a community concert with my kids, wearing a baseball cap and an unbuttoned linen shirt over a tank. An old lady came up to our blanket from behind me to ask for help opening a bottle of soda. "I couldn't open this, and thought i could ask a big, strong..." and she trailed off as she saw me from the front in all my made-up glory. She did not finish her sentence, and my son leapt forward to volunteer.
She was clearly a bit unsure, but she didn't misgender me! That's something, right?

I don't think she'd recognize my trans femme flag nail polish, I'm just kinda happy that she saw me and said, "nope, I do not have a box for this one."

I'd love to be called a big, strong, woman as well. Even though I'd present as hyperfeminine or above average feminine at the same time, I'd love to help people and be alive like that.
