For as long as I've known Jess its been her and I. We have shared her secret alone for the last 6 years. Now that she has started coming out and our circle of "those in the know" grows I have had to start dealing with some new issues.
The one that is bothering me the most right now is jealousy, of a man... How many of you can say that you are jealous because a guy is paying attention to your boyfriend? Well OK he's not exactly paying attention to "him" but rather to Jess.
OK here's the story...Jess has a Facebook account. On her Facebook she is friends with my best friend, Ann. Ann has a guy friend on facebook who we went to high school with. Lets call him Chuck. Chuck is not my friend on Facebook and has no way to connect me to Jess. But Chuck went through Ann's Facebook and friended Jess. I'm very uncomfortable with this. He comments on her statuses and pictures more than I do I think. Nothing inappropriate mind you or even flirtatious. Just rubs me the wrong way. Especially feeling as emotional and vulnerable as I have been feeling lately.
Jess doesn't hide her transsexual status at all and I know she loves me. I have tried to discuss this with her and am not sure she took me seriously. She says that he probably friend ed her because of her military connection (he's military to) or because if their mutual love of music.
But as a genetic girl who has dated more than her fair share of red blooded men, I have more of an insight into how they think. Jess can't fathom that a guy would think that way at all let alone about her. But I know that she is not only "passable" but beautiful. How could Chuck not see it too?
So there you go...I'm jealous of a guy paying attention to my transsexual partner. Something I never thought I hear myself say...
*SIGH* Just another day in the life of Claire...
