I've suspected for some time that there was trans-person working at my local Safeway. The individual has always looked very androgynous. I guess the age to be about mid to late twenties. If this person was male, the lower age would be my guess. Even more confusing was that early on the name seemed to be Holly, but later, it became apparent that the name was Hollister, which I took to be a male name.

In the intervening years, this person has grown a rather nice beard, much better than I could manage. So it's pretty obvious the presentation is male. As I was at the store today, Hollister was manning the cash register for the next line. As I glanced that way, it appeared that I caught a glimpse of a bust bulge under the edge of the apron. I wasn't really looking but being T myself (MtF) I'm always envious of someone, especially a male someone, who shows any evidence of breasts. Up until then, I had come to accept that I was delusional regarding the gender ambiguity of this person, however, I looked a little closer and determined that there was indeed a respectable bust line, mostly hidden by the apron. OK, OK, I know I shouldn't stare or at least "not notice" but as I said I'm envious of bust lines.

Then I heard him speak. It seems that male to female trans are not the only ones who have difficulties with voice matching the chosen gender. Hollister spoke in a soft feminine voice. It's great, because now I'm 99 44/100 percent sure that he is a female to male trans person and what makes it great is that the entire staff at the store and the customers all treat him with respect just as they would any other male employee.

"Yo dude; you are awesome."
