Called Pretty -- How Pleasant

Today had its ups and downs for the TG person. My wife was most unpleasant in general conversation in the morning and made pointed criticism of me when I got into femme night cloths near bedtime. She said, “You just can’t stay out of those clothes can you.” I did not respond, but she knows full well that I can’t get by wearing only male clothes. We have discussed the who-I-am many times before.

The high point of the day came in the afternoon. It was a most pleasant and uplifting experience. As my wife and I entered the home of friends, our hosts were warm and pleasant as always. My wife was called pretty by the lady of the house. This couple has no idea that I am transgendered. She immediately turned to me as said, “Welcome pretty person.” I gave her a much bigger hug than ever before. A male guest already there said, “I’ll bet you have never been addressed in that way.” I responded that I loved it and would love to have more comments like that.

The question that later came to my mind was whether our friend senses the femme side of me in some subconscious way. I had previously complimented to her in earnest that I think she is a lovely person. I believe that to be true not just from a physical standpoint, but also from the pleasantness of her character and demeanor. She is an older woman who has taken good care of herself and remains trim. I wonder how she would react if she were to discover that I am a transgendered male to female. In any event, her comment today lifted my spirits to heights I did not think possible in the face of negativity that came my way from elsewhere.

Love, Annette
