So something pretty neat happened to me the other day. I went to the eye doctor for my annual checkup. This is the 1st time I'd been since I started transitioning. So one of the assistants took me back and started doing some tests. We were making some small talk & I guess she...
overhead me asking the lady at the desk that I would like to use my preferred name and pronouns when I'm addressed in the office or over the phone. Which they were happy to do BTW. So she asked me, if I felt comfortable answering, when did I start my transition. I told her since
That I came out in Nov. and started medically transitioning in Jan. I could see tears forming in her eyes and we kept chatting. She told me that her oldest daughter had just come out to her & her husband that they were gay. And that they were so proud of her! I told her that
they sounded like amazing & supportive parents. She looked at me and told me how strong & amazing I was & that I'd make a great role model for her daughter. And then she started crying and I started crying. It was a moment I'll remember for the rest of my life. Never in my
wildest dreams could I ever have imagined someone saying that I would make a great role model.
