Day Six At Fantasia Fair In Provincetown MA

Friday, I went to the luncheon Keynote address that is open to the public and then I just wandered around town shopping. The keynote was given by a woman whose natal son transitioned when she was 5 and she talked about what it is like to have a trans-daughter. The trials and tribulations that they went through trying to understand what was happening to their child when she came to them and said that that she was a girl. She spoke about how hard it was to find a therapist and support. I’m going to try and see if she is interested in coming to the True Colors conference this spring. Instead of staying for the discussion afterward, I went on my shopping spree. I bought a pair of earrings at a little crafts store and a winter hat three dollars at the surplus store. Mostly I just window shopped, the prices are so high and the styles are for the young at heart.

In the evening we had a guess over to the cottage for cocktails and then I went to the evening entertainment, the Follies. I have mixed feelings about the follies, most of the time it is just bad lip sync to a song, but last night there were a lot of talented performers and a couple of them that wrote and sang their own songs. The Follies are open to the public and a number town folks attend and a couple of times when I was walking around town, town’s people asked me when the follies were. It is also a fundraiser for local charities, this year the proceeds are going to a non-profit hospice on the cape.
