Richie

I stopped at Sephora and Richie came up to help me. She was so sweet and my transgender radar went off but it took effort to detect that she indeed was. She is a pretty, petite and bubbly Philippina who I suspect has been on HRT for quite a while. Only the voice gave me a hint. 

I tell her I need a new lipstick as I am going to a wedding later and she's on the job. We chat and she tells me her mother is about my age and not yet retired. I ended up showing her my dress pic and got the thumbs up. I left with her lip color choice in hand.

She was so glad to have overlapped with me and I felt the same. I so love the confidence and the openness of transgender youth and I know they get tons of support at Sephora.
