Montreal is a huge city but it is still rare that I run into two transgender women within 10 minutes of each other. I was walking with a friend and I discreetly pointed the first one out to him. She was crossing and we were sufficiently behind her.
Most people wouldn't have noticed but I did because she fell so well under the radar. At most she was maybe 30.
The second one walked past us and I heard her speak on the phone with her distinctly male vocal register. She was even younger and her long hair flowed behind as she sped towards her destination.
Both were well into transition and my 65 year old friend had no idea.
As for me and at my age, I still marvel at this with a broad smile on my face.
