A strange and somewhat unsettling thing happened today at the train station. One of the station attendants clocked me as transgender and mentioned it.

It's a pretty rude thing to do, but as it turns out, the attendant is also trans, though she's not out yet and as such was presenting male. She was wondering if I was going to a trans panel which is apparently taking place at the destination I was going to. I'm not, though now I'm intrigued.

Since she's not out, I'm obviously not going to give any details, though we did exchange names and she gave me her usernames. I'll be getting in touch - and I don't mind it nearly as much as I would have done had she not immediately said she was trans herself. (Which was actually a pretty brave thing to do considering we were outside at a public place. I hope she's safe.)
