This morning my wife and I were in the shopping mall when a gentleman walked past. A moment later we heard "Ladies!" so we turned around; he wanted to speak with us.
He asked "Did you make a donation to Royal British Legion outside the Waitrose store last November?". Well, I am pretty sure we did, so I confirmed it. He followed up with "I thought so. I remember the two very well dressed ladies who stopped by to chat and make a donation. Lovely to see you again, how are you doing?".
First, I was pleasantly surprised that I seem to have passed as a lady - a moment of joy to be savoured. Second, when things like this happen I still wonder whether people realise I am male but are graciously being polite (nothing wrong with that anyway ... I should really just soak it up and enjoy it!). Third, there is often discussion on CDH about dressing to blend in or stand out; I have concluded that the style of dress my wife has always had (and which seems to have rubbed off onto me a bit) causes us to stand out - people remember us 😊 .
Rebecca, how wonderful 🙂 Both that you passed, being treated as the lady that you present as, and that your style was appreciated. Really, you were blending in with your lovely wife, but at the same time standing out together! Here's wishing you more unexpected moments of joy 🙂
Hugs,

Blending in yet standing out how good does that get. I suspect the gentleman was of the old school that appreciates ladies that 'make an effort', as in the old days.
Soak up the compliments Rebecca as it shows you are outstanding.
Rebecca -
How lovely to be remembered in a positive way and for you and your wife to be complimented. Hope you have more encounters like that.
XOXO

What I find is that because I mostly dress androgynously not many compliments come my way. Nail polish has garnered a few, but yesterday I was called sir twice. It must be my moustache. 😇
Hi Rebecca.
What a lovely experience for you! Definitely soak it up and enjoy it!
A great post to brighten up a grey day.

What an uplifting story must have been a great feeling. Hugs Lizzy
Great story Becky!
How lovely! I must say, I too was thrilled when out for lunch with my wife and the waitress not only addressed us as ‘Ladies’, but went on to say how much she liked my boots!

Lovely moment indeed so wonderful to hear
Many people are happy to address us as we present whether we pass or not. It is just politeness. Maybe the reason he remebered you two was not just that you two were dressed well, one would think that happens frequently, but that one of you was dressed en femme. That would certainly stand out in my memory. While I try to look passable, I know up close I don't to anybody paying moderate attention, but I really don't care. The reality is I am a man in a dress, and I figure most people can figure that out, which is why I really apprciate the little positive comments, and take them as an affermation that it is okay to dress. Most people really do not care what we wear as long as we are pleasent and polite people.
