Whenever a group of TG people get together, it will be very obvious to a
naive onlooker as to what's going on, regardless of how well those
present blend individually. (The formal proof will be an exercise for
the studii.) :)
This is one of the great tautologies of life, such as the Pope being
Catholic and bears going doodoo in the forest.
The whole group will get read. Even GG's in the group will get read!
I've seen this happen so many times ... She who is new and quite uneasy
feels a sense of soothing shortly after getting to know the group. This
leads to comfort and appeasement, and, when mixed with a few (or quite a
few) libations leads to false-confidence. Over hours to days I've seen
this newly-found confidence morph into overconfidence, boldness, and
ending with the newly-out person being brazenly cocky. (Remember that
"brazenly cocky" is indeed a guy thing!) (Nope, no smiley here.)
They are, themselves, oblivious to this. :( The confidence itself is a
very powerful intoxicant.
We've seen it happen, we know it happens. What do we do about it?
I don't know.
