Arrived in Canada during the day when it should have been night, according to my body. Was detained for an hour, maybe two. Was extremely frightening and I couldn;t contact anyone. was worried about my luggage and worried my aspieness might get me into trouble. Not sure what the problem was, but everyone else being detained was an immigrant trying to enter Canada to work and live (couldn't help ear-wigging) and I was the last to be seen, and the only holiday-maker it seems. Also the only trans person and of course, I couldn't help thinking about the shit that trans women in particular go through when travelling, in the end I happen to have Tam's phone number on my phone and they called her. Luckily she answered and she was able to confirm my identity.
Seeing Tam for the first time was amazing. As was travelling so far as a woman for first time ever.
We hugged. We grabbed my luggage and Tam took me to her car, drove me home. It was pissing down with rain. I fell asleep quickly in the evening due to jet lag.
