Tales from the Fringe
Comments (2) A few more Fringe-related stories…
I was walking to a show with one of my stage manegers, Amanda, who I became friendly with. She and I were chatting and I said, “I’m going to gloat for a moment. I feel like, as a trans woman, I can so rarely gloat about being trans. But, well, here goes: peeing standing up is awesome!”
She laughed, and called me a bitch, and we walked on, chatting about the wondrous products that exist for women to do just that. Amanda’s two friends were trailing behind us, and while I felt a little embarrassed having a conversation about peeing standing up while in earshot of them, I didn’t really care. (Hell, they’d be seeing my show later that night!)
Well, I found out from Amanda that, even though I felt like I was having a very ‘out’ conversation, they missed that I was trans! So when they did see my show, they went to Amanda afterwards and said, “The peeing standing up conversation makes so much more sense now!”
