18/12/06 - Given I live in the next town, when Vanessa suggested a nearby Chinese
restaurant this evening I felt a little nervous. I suppose, because although I was in male
mode it could have proved awkward had I bumped into any business
associates.
Thing is when you look at the reality of the TG situation very, very few of us can pass 100%, 100% of the time, and Vanessa does get read occasionally. I needn't have worried though, didn't see any familiar faces. Instead, we had a long natter about the wedding, her family, the XK she's got on order (coming in Jan.) and a few other things I won't bore you with.
All in all a very relaxing evening. Nice thing is I don't have to get dressed to enjoy myself with V, and of course how she looks is her natural way of things.
And this is what I find so positive about her. She works as a locum in the legal profession, is meeting new people in a work environment on a weekly basis, and hasn't had to deal with any negative attitudes since she went full-time as Vanessa.
In fact, she's had fewer work-related problems since being Vanessa. And I believe it's her attitude and confidence that makes the difference. I mean, for all the endless debates about the feelings of TSs and the rights and wrongs of their situations, at the end of the day she's someone who just gets on with it.
Attitude does help!
