She is a ham radio friend. I met her about six years ago at the Dayton Hamvention and since then, we have exchanged emails on ham radio topics and I see her every year at Hamvention. She has never met my male secret identity and only knows me as Stana, but she knows I am trans and has always been supportive.
I would have never guessed that she was trans. She had a strong male personality — not macho, but decidedly masculine — a man's man. There was not a hint of femininity in her speech, dress or mannerisms.
I was very surprised and I was very happy for her. I congratulated her on coming out and added that we will have a lot to talk about next time we meet up.
You never know!

Tgirls often hide their feminine side by presenting a stong masculine personality
ReplyDeleteSometimes they overdo it

Every time Coming Out Day comes around, I feel like the biggest coward on earth. It’s just clothes! Why am I so afraid to just lay it out there and damned be they who can’t deal with it?! Nevertheless, I succumb to the fear and Kermit between myself and a small circle of friends. Sigh. There’s always next year.
ReplyDeletei recognised this pic whilst doing an archive trawl of femulate. it is a vintage one of laurie-ann allen from arizona, who going by her flickr account is still an active dresser more than half a century later:
