Today, at the very last minute I noticed how dark it was outside, so grabbing my ISO Eclipse glasses went outside, but had to return back inside to grab my tablet. Back outside again, I noticed a girl in a cute dress, with very nice hair that was slightly longer than a pixie a few of us were talking about it when I stepped over to the girl I had noticed and asked her if she had Eclipse glasses. She turned to me, responding with a baritone voice that she did and said, "now go harass someone else woman".
In the meantime, I noticed that the shadow cast by the 10' tree near us was a series of little crescent shaped bright spots at the edge of the individual shadows. We got pictures of this little phenomimom and returned to sun watching.
In case the woman I met was a BCTS frequenter, I saw you as another woman though when I got close to you that you were T something. It did not matter to me since I just wanted to make sure you were OK. I know that life can be intolerably hard for T folk and I just wanted to be "normal". I'm mildly Aspergers and sometimes miss or don't care about some things.

At least she reponded
many of us would have turned tail and fled.
Would she have 'clocked' that you were like her? In the few milliseconds it takes to react then perhaps not.
Jut be on the lookout for her again and go and apologise to her. Make sure that your body language says 'open' if you do it directly.
There are many of us really deep in the closet and an encounter like that could have made them wet their panties. :)
Unsolicited approaches are the things that nightmares are made up of for many of them.
I was like that years ago. I was really uncomfortable when in the presence of another TS. For some reason it made me feel threatened.

Autistic/aspergers people freak normies out...
As A fellow Autistic/Asperger sufferer, I can tell you people normal people who can read all body language cues, we are not liked most of the time. You can go online and see how people describe us as A-Holes, and many other derogatory terms.
I prefer Blunt, I just never succeed beating around the bush as it were and tell people when trying to break something to me just spit it out.
I hate at times not being normal, the world tends to only like people who are normal as a whole, individually you can find genuinely kind people, many are on this site.
I think the fact that T folks get the same treatment as us non-neurologically normal people in the world. And from experience those who get mistreated by the world tend to flock together.
Don't read to much into those rude types hopefully Karma will eventually get through her back log and start doing her corrections to balance the scales soon enough.
