"It has taken me just over two years, a tremendous amount of determination and commitment, and lots and lots of practice to become the person I am today. I knew I was getting there when I was walking in the local neighborhood about a year ago. I passed a gang of young children playing in the street. I carried on walking and heard the pitter-patter of tiny footsteps behind me. A little girl, around six years old, patted me on the backside.
Excuse me, but you're not a real girl are you? I put my perfectly manicured finger to my lips. Sssshhh, don't tell anyone. A few weeks ago in Piccadilly Gardens, a girl wasn't sure about me so I gave her a wink. Are you a girl or a boy? she asked. I'm a girl of course. I knew my voice would give me away."
"What I didn't realize was that she was with her mates. Luckily for me, they were lovely, polite kids. They followed me shopping asking me questions all the while. We went to Evans to look for shoes. When I came out I was amazed to see there were more kids waiting for me. I now had about ten teenagers following me. There had obviously been some texting going on. Eventually the inevitable happened. Tricia, do you mind if I ask a very personal question? Of course not, but I may choose not to answer. The girl put her hand to her mouth in embarrassment. Do you sleep with men? and gave a girly giggle. No, I don't honey, I've told you I'm a girl. men sleep with me!"
