That Was So Cool...


Yes, I did attend my HS reunion as Rhonda. In fact three now. Two were reunions and one was a 75th Birthday Reunion / Celebration.  For the first I was nervous and made a pack with an x-girlfriend to push me through the door it I hesitated.  She did not need to. That was our 50th reunion, nine years ago.  

75th Birthday / Class Reunion 

I was well known (many clubs) and was the the JV football co-captain. That was my last year of football realizing that everyone has now bigger; much bigger.  Although that did not keep a group of us at the reunion from reliving our football glory days. "Remember that game where you broke your collar bone - Oh yes, I remember it well".  In full display was the the adage "The older I get the better I WAS". Something never change although I had.


Although I did not get the most grandkids award, or came for the furthest away, without doubt, I was the most changed. 

If the opportunity arises do go. A great outreach opportunity and helps put a face / person to what the transgender experience entails. Everyone left in my Class of '66, now knows a transgender person.

  2. Honestly, I wish I had that kind of courage. Walking into a reunion as yourself. Then doing it again? That's incredible. You’ve given your whole class a real, human connection to the transgender experience.
