This is a complete fantasy, and a weird one. Minors seeking out sexual materials, and invading people's privacy is morally wrong, but we're all adults here. Right? So, I don't have to worry about you trying this at home.

Maude: "Not much to tell, honestly. I lived in denial for far too long, but I knew it would break up my family. So, I waited until the kids were grown up, and mostly out of the house. None of them could understand, snh!" I had to let go of his hand, my mascara was running. "Huh! Then, I was lucky enough to find someone of the Opposite sex, and fell in love."
"We're straight," he nodded, patting my hand, reassuringly.
The man looked around. "I guess that's why it's so. I don't want to say normal, but I don't know what I expected." He waved it off, "I never been in a Transplace before."
"Well, normal is." I looked up, before I remembered that there isn't a word, because we didn't exist, when I learned the English language. "Oh, what I couldn't tell you about living in denial. A fantasy, but we do what we can." I patted the back of his hand, back.
"So, you're always a dirty old man?"
"Well," he grinned and winked, "I was a lot grayer than this as a kid, but not as many wrinkles. I was always a pervert, but that's the whole boys will be boys thing. I sure remember before there was, ladies like her." He pointed at me.
"Transwomen." He nodded for me. Finishing for him.
"Should I ask about pronouns?"
"Him," thumb straight up, under his chin, "And her." Over my shoulder, at my neck.
"Easy to remember." He pointed his finger up. "Him."
"Yeah," I had to laugh, "We got that."
"So anyway I. Well, in the interest of sharing. I guess you could say that I got in on the ground floor of the internet? Yeah, my pops was an electrical engineer, and computer programmer. So, I found out about internet porn before AoL came out. You hd your choice of Yahoo, or Excite! My dad used to download it, and print it out, on the printer."
"The old fashion kind where the paper comes folded up like tissues, and you have to tear the ends off it?"
"Yeah, only he had an Inkjet." He nodded seriously, "High tech shit, man!"
"They had those in my school growing up." I told my boyfriend. Then, back to the new guy: "I guess everyone thought I was a little pervert, because I desired girly things, and they thought it was something sexual." I shrugged, "I just thought they were pretty."
"Yeah, but if you let the boys call your action figures "Dolls," then that was gay."
"Yeah, I know? I got dolls, but then I started collecting sports figures."
"Hah, what'd you have, like baseball cards?"
"No, well they had cards with them in the box, but they're like statues." He held out his hands, "About this big?" All that was packed up, not even baggage any more.
"Oh, huh. I didn't even know they made those things, we're talking. Whenabout, 90s?" He guessed.
"OOhs," he shook his head, got up, and and started pacing. "I was just into sports, because they didn't make boy dolls, like you said. Except the douchey boy bands, and I didn't want to collect a whole lotta doucheboys, acting sensitive, and singing about all night to get some pussy." Bent over, a little. "So, sports figures, they let me play Soccer, I didn't like softball, wasn't tall enough for basketball, or volleyball, there wasn't a peewee football team. For girls." He made a face.
"Sexist."
"Oh yeah, and a feminist."
"Uh, like I giveashit about sexual inequality, when I never wanted to be a girl in the first place."
"You don't care about sexual inequality?"
"Oh yeah, we I do now, but I was a kid. So I felt a little selfish." Back, "About not even getting an end of the stick." and forth... "I joked about being 'such a boy,' because I got sick and tired of waiting for somebody to listen to me, instead of laugh it off, and say 'Don't be silly'."
"Well, I don't know whether this is the right word, but the only one that comes to mind is Petite?"
"Snh!" He shook his head, then let the snort out.
"No," I had to say, "That's the wrong word."
"So yeah, I have a little Napoleon Complex," he couldn't keep a straight face, "You want to make something of it?"
We all had a good laugh, and that cleared the air, before we got home.
I guess we avoided asking about names long enough, or "Dewey." Did, holding out his hand, and pulling the handle so the door rolled itself back on automatic.
"Wendle." Standing up, and pacing in the back of the minivan. We don't live in a closet, I have a house. What happens in my bedroom, well.
I can't believe we did that, right on the bus! I have never, Ev Ver, done something so sexual in public before, but it's like he said, only about Gay Space. We got a few surprised looks when it came out, but I can't believe my vestige stayed turned on, and gave me an orgasm.
It wasn't the people that looked, it's the ones that didn't. Ironically, it's the guy that asked how Jaded you have to be to get bored at Pride, but he got addicted to internet porn before he even started puberty, and I was a late bloomer. I got my adolescence a couple decades late, but I got my kids through it.
Sex? I'm still learning about what that can mean.
