About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside and asked himself, ‘Why do I always get lost here?’ He’d been making deliveries to The Transgender Institute for months but could never remember which turn led him back onto familiar streets. Finally, one day he noticed an old lady waving from her balcony across the street. ‘Excuse me,’ she called out, ‘you’ve been delivering packages here every week—do you know how to get anywhere else in this city?’ The delivery driver laughed and said, ‘Actually, no. But now that I think of it…’
2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into the waiting room with a puzzled expression on his face. Over the intercom came a voice: 'Ladies and gentlemen, could Mr. Johnson please report to the reception desk?' Mr. Johnson looked around, confused. Then he turned to the receptionist and asked, ‘Excuse me, ma’am, I’m not sure if I’m in the right place—aren’t you supposed to call me “sir”?’ The receptionist smiled warmly and replied, ‘Oh no, sir, you’re exactly where you should be. We’ve been expecting you.’ And so, our befuddled gentleman continued his journey towards self-discovery with a newfound sense of humor.
3. Late one night, a pizza delivery driver parked his bike outside, puzzled by a strange humming noise coming from inside. He’d never heard anything like it before. Curious, he cracked open the door—only to see rows of colorful lights and strange machines blinking softly. A voice from behind said gently, ‘Welcome to our little place. We help people feel more themselves.’ The delivery guy blinked, then asked, ‘So… do you fix bikes too?’
4. Early in the morning, before most people had even thought of breakfast, a jogger stumbled upon a strange sight. The streetlights cast eerie shadows as she approached the institute’s entrance, where a sign read: 'Today's Special: A Smile for Every Patient.' As she peered inside, she saw a receptionist smiling warmly and greeting every patient with a personalized welcome. One man walked out whistling happily, while another was laughing so loudly that a delivery driver parked his truck nearby to ask what was going on. ‘Just some special treatment,’ the receptionist explained with a wink. The jogger smiled, shook her head, and continued running—vowing never to miss an opportunity for such unexpected joy.
