Film actress-dancer Cyd Charisse died yesterday. (You can read all about here.)I have a tenuous connection with Ms. Charisse: we share the same birthday (month and day of month, not year).
Did you ever look at those celebrity birthday lists to see who shares your birthday? The only celebrities I knew on the list for my birthday were Ms. Charisse and baseball star Jim Rice, so when I heard about Ms. Charisse's death on the news last night, the first thing I thought of was that we share birthdays.
In addition to sharing birthdays, some people would say that we share something else. Ms. Charisse had great legs and I am told that I have great legs, too.
Personally, I think that my legs are ok, but other people are convinced that they are more so. Mom often said I had beautiful legs (and that I "should have been a girl with legs like yours"). My wife and other genetic women have admitted that I have nicer legs then they do. Other trans-folk have complimented me on my legs, too. One of my friend's significant other even calls me "Leggy!"
You are being quite demure about yours legs. But now we know from all the great comments you have gotten over the years, that this is true. And your mother's comment... well! Need we say more...

Deb --- Thank you for calling me "demure." No one has ever called me that. It sounds so feminine!
