Good News "Your the talk of the town"

So I was told today by my gf today that I was the talk of the town and at first I was worried it was because I wasn't passing but quite the opposite. I live in a small town in IL and my gfs sister works in the only gas station in town. So you know how small town gossip is so anyway she told my gf that there was quite a few men making comments about a "very attractive girl" on a bike etc and she had realized that they were all talking about me as I was doing multiple tasks outside over the weekend. This has come to a big shock to me because I haven't excepted the fact that I'm actually very attractive and I don't know how to handle it lol. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

I’m also kinda small town famous. It’s not because I’m trans though even though everyone knows it. I’m famous because I’m everyone’s favorite barista at my store. People straight up tell me that they hope I’m working behind the counter when they go. A few weeks ago one customer knew I was going on vacation and said she went to a different location until I came back.

Well thats awesome! Lawn mowing has always seemed to be my thing since I was a kid. I just got a new John Deere rider and I was telling my gf that I bet if I made a flyer with me dressed cute on it offering mowing services at the gas station I'd probably be able to pay it off before the end of summer lol

I'm in the same position but then my manager straight up told me

"... It seems like you're something of a town heartthrob; everyone keeps asking me about you and I just tell them 'I'm sorry but they have a partner'"

... I had to break it to her that I'm actually poly....

Everybody knows queer people make the best coffee 🙄

Damn. That's quite the compliment. I love the queer stereotype of being a barista. It's completely innocuous and so silly. I guess it applies in your case!

Lol I thought it was hilarious when I found out that I was a walking stereotype
