It was 6+yrs ago , that this happen to me . It was a way of me "coming out" both as a couple and as a femm. I was shy about it , my 1st time meet other ppl in this type of community. I was femm dress but light make-up , and no wig. I had a femm cut hairstyle. I mostly stand next to my wife and our then 1st blk man. I was so surprised as how many ppl I knew and how I never knew them to be in anything like this . It was as if I now looked at the real world. The ppl that were so high up in our society and my church as well. Still I felt welcome by them but they now knew that I have step into this world having been blk f$%%ked , that was the whole point of us being there.
