I'm attracted to a woman.

Believe it or not.

I went to a bar with a few friends lastnight. And, as I sit down I'm greeted by a very beautiful young man with a mohawk who introduces himself as the bartender. I order my drink and proceed to enjoy it while turning to my friend and commenting on the good looks of our bartender. My friend agrees by saying, "yes, she's very pretty isn't she?" She. What? There is no WAY that is a woman. Yes, my friend assures me he just gets the vibe. A third friend joins us and sides with me....convinced that it's a man....willing to bet money on it. Eventually, we get around to talking to our pretty bartender and find out that "he" is from New Zealand and that "he's" really into the queer culture scene and the "his" name is Isabelle. Okay....Isabelle....it could just be a gay thing but there's three of us there, two boys and a girl, and our new friend is not flirting with any of us...we can't even get a clue. Then "he" finally admits to being transgender and taking hormones for the past 3 years.....although "he" won't tell us which way. But, I mean come on, if you're taking hormones for three years and you sound like a man and you're trying to become a woman then your drugs suck. SHE'S A GIRL!!!! AHHHHH!!! I HAVE A CRUSH ON A GIRL!! Well, not really, but I definitely found her very attractive.....as a man. And to my credit, she looked really great....the drugs are working wonders....I mean you really cannot tell unless you're my friend Mike Bunting....who could. So....

well. to be clear, I was the girl at the bar that night. and it's true- none of us were certain that isobelle (it's spelled with an "o", not an "a", clayton got it wrong) was flirting with us.
BUT. who got her number?

Mr. Clayton - I stumbled across this ol' blog of yours and I have a confession to share. I, too, was oddly attracted to a bartender at Nowhere and only minutes into the conversation, whilst I'm thinking, "Oh, he's really cute and funny and smart" and as I'm about to ask for his phone number... Charlie and I realize that Isabel is not a he... aw shucks. Well, I'm glad I'm not the only gay boy who was hot for a girl. ;) hope your doing well, macartney
