What's on Your Mind

[Lexington]

I have a FB friend who is MtF transgender. She's in that really awkward stage where she has trouble passing as anything BUT transgender (she has breasts, but still a rather mannish face). As such, her social anxiety is pretty bad. She's leaving the country in a few weeks, and wanted to meet afew local folks once more before she leaves. We've only met in person twice, but I've been one of her advisors and supporters over this process, and so when I asked if I was in that group, she said yes. We arranged to meet at a local bar/restaurant today, which she didn't seem to have any issue with. But when I got there, I saw she had sent me a message. She was cancelling, as she was too freaked out to meet up. I told her that was fine, and I understood. As I left, I thought I saw her walking down the street. So I sent her another message. "Would you like a lift home?" She said, "Thanks, but I'm too embarrassed to see anybody right now. I'm giing to walk home, as that usually helps." I said that was fine, and offered to reschedule if she felt up to it,

I hope she can get on top of this somewhat. She's a nice person.
