Reply To: Have you ever run into someone you know while dressed femme?

[Lauren Mugnaia]

Hi girls,

I’m a trans woman and live and work dressed femme every day. The place I work at is a government office building, 95% of the staff being women, and there is a fairly constant changeover in staff as people retire, move to another ministry or go on maternity leave.
Over the time that I’ve been working there as a woman named Lauren, there have been a number of women, who knew me before, return after being away prior to my transitioning. None of them recognized me. I greeted each of them by their first name and each of them were puzzled how this woman, who they didn’t recognize, knew their name.
I introduced myself as Lauren, and the reaction so far has been wonderfully positive. I told them my story and many of them were very tearful and overjoyed upon hearing of my transitioning. It’s actually been quite enjoyable introducing my new self!

Hugs,

Ms. Lauren M
