[Paulette Parfois]

Hi Jennifer and welcome from another PNW girl (Seattle) now living in Arizona. It sounds like you are just now getting ready to venture out. First let me say from your profile photo I doubt if you will have any problems, especially in PDX! I love going out as Paulette. I have discovered even if anyone notices, nobody cares. When I am ‘out and about’ I use girl’s restrooms and such, and have never had a problem. The fun thing about being out ‘en femme’ is being able to have fun shopping, going to coffee shops and doing happy hour with other girls. It is a BLAST! By the way, I too am into video production. My wife an I owned a production company for years, and I spent many years in broadcasting (even building TV stations in Portland and Eugene several years ago.) Today we own a video origination/streaming company for fledgling artists to cost-effectively stream their live performances to a larger ‘virtual’ audience. Let’s stay in touch. Hugs, Paulette
