A cross post. Why not.

It's very odd, this attitude that people have.

I made a new friend online recently. Her name is Amanda and I met her on a fetish forum. You don't need to know which one.

Roughly around the same time I got back in touch with a girl I used to know from a similar place.

The one I knew before clearly only knew me as a man so I had to explain things.

Mid conversation she just wigged out and started telling me I was too masculine and that I'd never look even slightly female and how terrible I was.

So yeah, she got blocked.

Meanwhile, I nervously sent a couple of photos to Amanda, who never knew me in the before times (you know, the long long ago) and whom I decided didn't need to know about the old me.

Amanda told me she thought I was gorgeous and even showed the photos to a friend at her side, who agreed.

There are two unusual things about this...

The first is that the old friend (whose real name I never even knew) has NEVER seen a picture of me. Ever.

The second is that the second photo I sent to Amanda was this little slice of the past, a REALLY early photo. That is the first dress I ever bought. You can tell how old it is from the length of my hair at the time.

But despite the horrible photo (which I felt sure would out me for certain. I'm still puzzled as to why I sent it) she didn't doubt my explanation that I simply used to be quite a tomboy (understatement city) for one second.

From this I draw one conclusion.

People are WIERD.
