Match with a great looking girl, 9/10, sweet smile and everything. We talk and she's really nice. Blah blah exchange numbers, we start talking about meeting up. She mentions how she just got out of a relationship and it's been really affecting her, to the point where she's seeing a therapist.
Then she goes silent. Just starts ignoring my texts, I figure she lost interest for whatever reason or found a guy she likes more, it's Tinder and all. Then after 2 days she texts me back saying "sorry, I'm going through some drama now and it's probably best if we don't meet up". I ask what's going on, she replies "I'm preeetty sure you wouldn't want to hang out if you knew", I grill her some more and she let's it out: "I'm transgender"
This amazes me because she has tons of instagram pictures and she 100% looks female. She apparently started hormone therapy pretty early thanks to her understanding parents. She plans on getting a full sex change operation this year but for now she's had an orchiectomy(she has no balls). The whole thing is really fascinating to me so I tell her I still want to meet. She's very relieved as it's understandably difficult for her to find any guys that will accept her, hence why her breakup has hit her so hard.
So we go out to get coffee and...well, she doesn't look quite as feminine as she did in her pictures, you can see it a little bit in her brow. And her voice has just a hint of that lispy gay guy quality to it. But overall, she was distinctly a she, and attractive. We get coffee and sit down and just have a nice normal conversation about our jobs etc. But she has to go do something with her family shortly, so in an hour or so she's driving me back to my place. We park nearby and talk a little more, specifically about her "situation" and her past. It comes time to go and I give her a hug and she doesn't let go for quite some time. We break the hug and I go for it. It felt like, well, kissing a girl. We have a 15 second makeout session and she's all smiles as we say goodbye.
So that's something that happened. We intend to see each other again next weekend
