I've had a couple of good days with Wife and Daughter.
First, yesterday, I was sent home from work early due to having lost my voice. I know that doesn't sound good, and it wasn't. However, it allowed me to go to my Daughter's parent-teacher conference. So I went to the conference sans voice.
It was a great experience. But among the best parts is that when we entered the room. Wife entered fi, and introduced herself to the teacher. She turned and introduced me: "This is Sophie." I then greeted her and whispered that I am trans. And we went on with the conference.
But this was very significant. This was the First Time Wife introduced me as Sophie. I was glowing.
After the conference, I drove down to Philly to attend Jennifer Finney Boylan's reading at St. Joseph's University. I'll write about that more soon.
Wife and I went to dinner tonight for Valentines Day at Iron Hill Brewing Company in Phoenixville, PA. The waitress came over to the table and greeted us "hello ladies!" I felt good inside. My daughter tapped the waitress he elbow, smiled, and said, quietly, "My daddy is transgender."
I didn't hear her, but Wife did. She then told me what Daughter said. I laughed, and told Daughter that she really didn't need to tell complete strangers about my being trans. We agreed that it would be "our little secret."
I couldn't stop smiling!
