I was speaking on the phone the other day to another tgirl, Annie who I've been in contact with for about a year. We've never actually met, just the odd email and phone call or text. The sad thing is she's married and not out to her wife,but what is even worse she is now registered blind.
I hadn't been in touch with her for awhile, to caught up in myself. Her sight has got so bad she now has a white stick. It must be a horrendous situation to be in. Now unemployed as well. The thing is she sounds so positive. I really do hope she is coping as well as she sounds.
We ended up speaking for nearly 2 hours about my adventures out,work related stuff,disabled rights, tg rights.
The thing I've noticed is being tg you meet or chat to people you would probably never normally come across. It really does cut across the whole spectrum.
One thing she told me, about only 4 percent of people registered blind are completely blind. The hope is she does not lose what sight she has. She did tell me that on the bus a pensioner insisted she have her seat She said to me she couldn't convince her that she could stand perfectly well.
I just hope things get better for her.
