We arrived at the facility on time yesterday morning and were greeted with great news: it was the first day that this facility would be using the Johnson & Johnson one-shot vaccine rather than a two-shot vaccine! What luck!
So we got in line with about six people ahead of us. The line moved quickly and we found ourselves at the “Registration” window staffed by a twenty-something women, who asked us our names.
I told her our names and wise-ass that I am, I added, “I'm Stanley and she’s Laurie.”
She replied, “Oh, I don’t know – I think you could pass for a ‘Laurie.’”
I was in boy mode at the time.

ReplyDeleteThat reminds me of the closing on my parent’s house, the closing was before I transitioned.
ReplyDeleteThe lawyer said that there was a typo on the closing paperwork, they feminized my male name!
Now you have to understand their lawyer used to live a couple of houses down from my parent’s house and we went to school together. I used to crossdress (what I thought was in secret) when I lived there. Our lawyer was a friend from the trans support group and crossdressed. My brother knew that I was planning on transitioning.
The three of us looked at one another thinking “Did he know?” and once we left the office the three of us started laughing.
A few years latter the lawyer that made the mistake drew up my will, living will, and power of attorney, and I asked him about it, he said that he never knew that I crossdressed. I always wondered if he did or not.
Sounds like what happened to me several times where I was misidentified while in "male" mode.
ReplyDeleteBeing an actor, I have done drag roles on stage. Sometimes at the office I get to share photos of those performances. Every time the women say, "Wow, you look GOOD" I want to scream out "I KNOW! I enjoy being a woman!" and it makes me want to show up the next day as Julie. However, being a clerk at the oldest law firm in the Pacific NW, I don't think it would be looked on very favorably. (sigh)
ReplyDeleteI watched the trailer for Pop Kowboy, Craig Olson's femulating is wonderful. It looks like his only acting role on IMBD. Too bad.
