I'd have to be pretty naive to assume that everyone I know would be 'okay' when they finally heard about or met the new and improving me. Hello...

I'd already experienced an entire season of being the female star of  "Lets be a dick to the girl" - it was something I could shrug off at first with a smile and an explanation tailored to the individuals involved. At first... it got to the point where Carly's tears were the objective and if she had the resolve not to cry, there was an increasing possibility that she would go all boy on them.

Anyhow... last night I was in a social setting with people who have known for a few months and seemed to be okay with "it". That's hardly surprising as if you took away everyone who was LBG or T then there might have been two people left.

Two people who were friends that I taveled and partied with treated me like I was invisible - like I did not exist. They talked around me, talked to J when we were both standing in front of them but the would not acknowledge my presence in any way.

This was far worse than people acting overtly uncomfortable with me or even being downright nasty, which to be honest, does not happen very often. Most people that I know have been supportive - they still laugh with me and together we are learning how Carly interacts with them.

So I expected it... I just did not think it would hurt so bad.

Carly
