Cait the Proud Trans Woman<p>Just ordered some brekkie from Burger King. What? There's only one King in the world for me. </p><p>Actually, two. The other is Ledley King, the only King in the UK who gets his name capitalised by me. Fuck chuck^3. COYS. Down with the king, Up with the King!</p><p>ANYway...what I wanted to say was I had a delivery person who I've met before. I recognised his name as a Nigerian one, and confirmed it with him the first time we met, which made him smile. We talked briefly, I said I like learning about other Canadians, and off he went. </p><p>This time when he came, I'm wearing just a camisole and a skirt. My hair's up, no makeup, haven't shaved in a couple of days (I only do it once a week or when I'm going out - more just hurts my skin, and since it's white and quite thinned out with electro, I can't see it against my pale integument anyway, so it's minimally dysphoric). Just to set the scene. On my cami, I have a button that says "Trans Joy". </p><p>He came down the hall, said he thought it would be me when he recognised the building, and was very pleasant. When he handed the food over, he noticed my button, and he smiled, and said, "I thought I recognised you - weren't you on the stage at Pride last week? I went because I had never been around gay people before, and I wanted to see what they were really like. And everyone was so nice to me! No one hit on me, and when I said it was my first one, they gave me things to celebrate. It was wonderful."</p><p>All of this in a beautiful Nigerian accent, and with a huge smile. </p><p>There are days I truly love living where I do. </p><p><a href="https://wargamers.social/tags/HappyPride" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HappyPride</span></a> <a href="https://wargamers.social/tags/TransJoy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransJoy</span></a> <a href="https://wargamers.social/tags/TransGEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransGEM</span></a></p>
