It never occurred to me what a transsexual knows but now that you’ve planted the thought, it must be lots. If you get that coffee date you must share a gem.
Oh yes, for certain!
Now I’ve got an earworm: “I’ve looked at life | from both sides now.”
Only your life, for sure!
I had that song in my head this morning, too! Yes, my life. LOL
I recently read an article about a study that looked at the male/female role in the workplace by talking to people who where transgendered. I found it fascinating. No confounding variables; the exact same person with the exact same traits. As a man – a confident leader. As a woman – too dominant and aggressive. I so wish I had the link to share.
No surprise there for me. That is what I would expect. Would love to see that study.
I would love to have coffee with “C”. I bet she’s got some amazing stories to tell.
Lots to teach us!
I have an acquaintance who is a male to female transsexual, but she didn’t transition until her 70’s. Very fascinating person, and it was quite the journey. I would definitely try for that coffee date if I were you!
Now THAT is a story I’d like to know.
This reminded me of a grandmothers group I started a few years ago via a popular social site. A transgendered grandmother joined the group, and the group fell apart when that was revealed. She was a lovely woman and I feel horrible about how it all ended. 🙁
That’s awful. I hate that people are that way. It’s just a fluke of nature that she obviously corrected–so why is that so bad?
Lucky you, Carol! You know all the interesting people!
These opportunities always find me.
They find you because you are open. No accident there! And you’re right about the charming scoundrels, though I thought your post might be about Riley!
Riley has a sense of entitlement about everything. I go to the kitchen to prepare my lunch and he reclines on the rug with complete trust that it’s his.
My husband’s best friend is a transexual. It’s such a hard life.
And yes, charm is probably one of the most powerful tools (and weapons) a person can possess. A charming person can get away with murder. Just look at OJ Simpson.
Yes and isn’t it interesting how OJ’s charm disappeared as we got to know him….
Carol, PLEASE do have coffee with her and PLEASE don’t forget to share a few pitchers of what you know after drinking from that fountain of knowledge. I’m sure a lot of us are eager to learn. 😉
Ok then! I will!
Carol I’d probably enjoy a coffee date with YOU more. Let me know if you’re ever in Philly & I’ll treat you to a latte.
Fun thought! I know a he/she, as the children always called him, and everyone is always jealous because his figure is better than any of the real women.
I have seen evidence of that a few times myself. Every body loves a rogue!
We are their saviors.
I would love to sit in on that coffee with you! I can’t begin to fathom how difficult their lives must be.
I’ll bet they are very complex.
I can only imagine the stories that a transgender would have, my, my. 🙂 Do share after you have that coffee with her.
What an interesting perspective! And the timing was just perfect!!
