I’ve worked with Alexa for seven years, and we became good friends. She’d been trying for a baby with her hubby. She finally got pregnant but miscarried at 8 months.
One day, an old co-worker was visiting, and when I mentioned Alexa’s situation, she turned pale and said, “Is this a joke? Don’t you know that Alexa is actually a transgender woman? How could she be pregnant?”
I was shocked. I’ve seen Alexa every day, and our desks are right next to each other. I felt betrayed that she would lie to me and even show me photos of her fake belly.
