TopShelf TG Fiction in the BigCloset!
I've just been up to the training for the Tour de France volunteers in London and while I was waiting for it to start, we were sitting out in the sun drinking tea or coffee and on the next table to me was a transgender person. Honestly, you can't go anywhere these days...

Yes, makes you wonder what
Yes, makes you wonder what the world's coming to.
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.
They're everywhere
Hmmm...
Might it have something to do with all the BI-cycles and BI-cyclists?

Yeah but ...
... I used to ride a racing TRI-cycle so what does that make me? :)

It's the French Connection
I'm Canadian and I see more and more every summer. Sometimes you can't even go out without protective lotion.
We have French here too. I blame the French.
Flat Caps do it!
A flat cap look's so much better on a feminine head!
Transgender attraction
For some odd reason, over the past few years every time something important has happened in my life I have found myself near another transgendered person. There is, of course, confirmation bias in that I am now expecting to see one and therefore more actively looking...
I exclude things like visits to Charing Cross hospital, for the obvious reasons.
But isn't it lovely that we can ... go out I mean.
I reckon to see at least one every time I go out in Swansea or Port Talbot on weekend shopping jaunts. I was out with Mandy and her sixteen-year-old daughter and we literally bumped into one in the 'Primani' lift. She was shopping with her partner and was doubly impressed that Mandy's daughter was with us.
Truly Ang, we are so numerous in the Welsh cities I've never thought to comment thereon before.
Truly, Life goes on.
Am I unusual in my lack of experience?
No not that way!! I mean I've only knowingly met one MtF in my life (not counting 2 who visited me in Charing Cross just post op nearly 40 years ago). But then nobody has ever suggested they guessed my history so I might really have met dozens who "pass". I suggest you, Angharad, and Cyclist are unusually observant which is what makes you such good and prolific writers.
I'm not blind and have seen people who don't pass but also don't strike me as TG

Get a lot of encounters here in the states
In the Maryland DC Virginia area one cannot toss a rock without not running into one. I swear just being out and about doing very mundane things ( the TdF is NOT mundane obviously ) and I run into one, especially at the Costco I go to. I mean, the person who does the shopping cart (or trolley for you Brits) return I knew for a long time as a guy before transitioning and now she still works there.
Another reason to shop at Costco I think. And no I never get read nowadays so I bet there are others who don't of course.
Buckaroo Banzai was right...
...no matter where you go....
There we are. ;-)
There were supposed to be
800 people at the session, not knowing what the occurrence rates are could there have been another or was that tantamount to a cluster group? Is the incidence amongst cyclists higher? Was it geographical, it was London though I was there from Dorset and one of the people I spoke with lived in Dundee?
Oh well, under the rather loose fitting uniforms, we'll all look like teletubbies especially with the bright green jackets on - mine stops mid-thigh. Still seeing as they had to supply up to 10,000 uniforms, I think ASDA [part of the Walmart family :)]did better than most.

I seem to recall ...
... that there was a MtF trikie who used to race. I'm pretty sure she rode the 24 hour time trial champs about 25 years ago. Certainly before my relatively brief involvement through my club - as support team rather than rider, I hasten to add.
