The people are tall here, and a fine frame isn't very typical of the natives either. So I can understand the that a transgender wants to wear high heels for femininity, but while a 6'6" man doesn't really stand out, a 6'6" woman on top of 7" heels does. But the city is quite small so contrary to NY most people she encounters have already noticed her before and don't react shocked. To here credit, she rode a much too small ladies bike, but without bending the knees outside the handlebar like a cowboy, that's what a lot of men on much too small bikes do. Maybe that's why she started her left turn that early not to hit the knees with the handlebar by turning in sharply, and I should have been more considerate.
