I was at my desk, thankfully on the phone, when she/he/it came up to the window. We have one of those glass windows with the hole to speak through, with a little slot for us to slip money, receipts, paperwork, etc. through. So while I am finishing up the phone conversation, she/he/it is just standing there waiting, and I know he saw me. And recognized me. Uggh!
So I reluctantly go up to the window and ask if I could help. We made eye contact {gulp!} and she/he/it showed no signs of knowing me whatsoever. I told him that he would have to wait out in the hallway for the City Attorney to speak to him and so he said thanks and left. Whew! I was so relieved.
This person looks exactly like she did in high school. Except now she/he has a goatee, wears a baseball cap and has tons of hair on his arms. I have never actually known someone who has had a sex change. To be honest, I really do not have a problem with that, to each his own. I just know I would not want to be a man. I am just way too girly for that!
Another thing is, I was not a close friend to this person in school. We did have classes together, we rode the same bus and we had a couple of mutual acquaintances. She did sign my year book. Wanna know what she wrote? To a sweet girl, I hope we stay friends for a long time. Love ya dearly but not queerly.
Um, yeah! Whatever!
I am linking up with MamaKat this week....go visit her and join in the fun!

Interesting. I come in contact with all kinds of people in my job and stuff like doesn't really bother me either. But I could see it being strange coming in contact with someone you knew before the change.
I know someone who has had a sex change, from male to female but I didn't really know them as a guy. I met them during the process.
Dearly but not queerly....OH MY GOSH...that's hilarious. LOL
What a strange day for sure. I do not know what I would think or do...
I knew the ending to the story wouldn't disappoint! That last line is a killer! :)
Next time you need to take a sneaky picture on your phone!
See...she gave you a clue way back in high school. LOLOL
I think if she really wanted..she would have said..."Hey! Remember me?? What have you been doing since high school?? Oh, me? I have a penis now! Top that!
Heading over to MamaKat to see what you are up to over there!
LOL... The year book quote cracks me up!
Well, I am glad that the ackward situation was not as bad as you thought it was going to be.
It is so funny to see what high school classmates have become...it is always fun to see someone flying their freak flag that you knew back then...hahahaha on the yearbook!
OMGosh I missed the first one! YIKES. I know grown ups that did this but didn't know them before. Mom had a coworker that did. She said it was a weird situation for everyone.
P.S. I know you rock! 2 wins! Muah
That would be awkward!
Thanks for popping by on my SITS day!
I'm jealous...I hardly ever see anyone from HS and when I do it isn't anything this exciting!
Well at least the torment of not knowing is over. But I don't think "he" would appreciate being called an "it"! LOL
Justine :o )
NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO........that would be so weird........that kind of change isn't the kind of change, like, "he got fat and bald". :)
wow, that's kind of interesting how she/he/it signed your yearbook huh?
i had to read the post below this...and all I could think of was, "Wonder if her friend is Chastity Bono?"
Serious.
But you handled it well. Several people I graduated with have come out of the closet...but none have had a sex change. I don't know how I'd handle it. Maybe suttering and staring and the floor?
I'm so lame.
