Geez it's been a weird week. It started out a couple of nights ago. I dreamt a dream of gay sex. (I wrote a post about this in the sexuality forum.)

Then yesterday, my wife & I were grocery shopping. I thought I noticed a couple of instances where older men were looking at me (trying to figure out what I was?)... probably not. My wife & I were getting some things at the deli counter. And the older woman who was waiting on us kept referring to us as: "you ladies"! Well, actually, I was sort-of pleased at this. It inflamed my desire to proceed further with my efforts to feminize my appearance.

But then, this afternoon, I was sitting on a bench outside of a local ice cream parlor. A man who was sitting nearby in a white building maintenance van asked me for directions. He addressed me as: "sir". So I guess I didn't look lady-ish to him. I'm not particularly bothered by being addressed as "sir". It's been happening for so many years now that it's just the way it is. On the other hand, it was still a bit of a downer, after my experience at the grocery store yesterday. But, then, that's just the way it is. At least he didn't laugh & shout some kind of insult about me looking like some old tranny... on second thought... maybe that would be okay too!

That is sort of weird. Yet, people dress and look all sorts of ways these days. Some folks have evidently seen me as a young boy--and I am an old lady!

And it all depends on what company you are seen with. Back in the early 90's I was coming back from a dance competition (I'm female with full hair and makeup done), accompanied by a bunch of my long-haired, heavy-metal guy friends, and I got called "sir".
I've also been called "sir" with my hair in a pony tail and a ball cap on.

I think some days, people see who they "expect" to see - like two ladies grocery shopping together.
