    When bro is such a bro you completely forget he’s trans.

    My wife’s got a friend this happens with all the time. She’ll be talking to him and something about our oldest will come up. She’ll make some remark to him thinking he’ll relate, entirely forgetting that he had to transition so he didn’t experience whatever it was the same way.

      I learned that my coworker was a lesbian three times before it stuck. What made it stick was during a talk she was having about LGBT issues, where she referenced how obviously gay she looks. I guess the short hair with bright dye was a tell-tale sign to other people. I just enjoy chatting with her, and that sort of thing just didn’t come up very often.
