Part 1 - Play Day Away

The evening was still full of unanswered questions, and that was part of its charm.

I’d taken far longer than usual deciding what to wear, changing my mind at least twice before finally settling on the dress that somehow felt just right for the Summer evening. One last glance in the mirror, handbag over my shoulder, and I paused in the garden for a quick photograph before beginning the drive to London.

The destination was the Mayfair Club, but the real excitement lay in not knowing what the evening might hold. New faces, easy conversation, perhaps a little dancing… or perhaps nothing more than another pleasant night among friends.

The road stretched ahead, carrying with it all the possibilities that only an unwritten evening can possess.

Sometimes the greatest excitement isn’t arriving.

It’s simply setting out.

Female impersonation was never suggested by my careers adviser.

Then again, neither was becoming quietly thrilled when an elderly gentleman on the Tube stood up and offered me his seat.

I smiled, thanked him and politely declined, but I couldn’t resist a private chuckle as the train pulled away. It wasn’t vanity or triumph that made me smile. It was simply the quiet satisfaction of knowing that, for one completely ordinary journey, I had been seen exactly as I hoped to be.

Not a bad day’s work.

That’ll do nicely.

Nelson Street, Bristol, England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 26th April 2025.

About this photographs.

In respond to the Scottish Supreme Court ruling that the definition of sex is sex at birth, many transgenders all around the United Kingdom staged protests against the ruling.

I heard that there was going to be one in Bristol, and decided to drive down there, to do some photojournalism of the protest.

This is one of the many banners and placards being carried around, giving messages and statements. What they are trying to say is about the British government’s decision to cut benefits for disability people as well as support for mental health, and support for transgenders, in order to free up the budget to be spend on defence due to the ongoing Russian-Ukraine war, hence the meaning of Welfare, not Warfare.
