The Brazilian state of São Paulo, in partnership with the
São Paulo City Metro (subway), have launched a campaign to combat
homophobia throughout their subway stations. The campaign entitled,
See beyond prejudice. Respect differences aims to increase respect
toward, and decrease discrimination against, LGBT people living in Sao
Paulo. The first stage of the project combats discrimination and
prejudice against transgender people, as well as dissemination of a
law that punishes homophobic behavior and discrimination within the
state of Sao Paulo.
All 58 subway stations are covered with the bright posters that
feature pictures of transgender women. The poster copy reads, “Look,
Look again, and see beyond prejudice. I am trans, I have the right to
be who I am.”
I wonder can transgendered people use the rest rooms too in "Sao Paulo" or is that an American paranoia?

Reinvention
You can teach an old dog new tricks!
Over the past month or so I have written concerning the physical part of my transgendered journey and tossed the social aspects into the background.
Interestingly, I am teaching myself new "trans" tricks.
As sure as I was of my "socialization" as a woman over the past couple of years or so, I found a whole new world again.
My latest "new trick" is to have a very definite confidence of who I am. What you see is what you get.
If you think I'm a "vision" of lovlieness I'm flattered. If you don't? Who cares?
I know I'm absolutely sure I do the best I can on presenting myself as a woman- who cares about her appearance. That knowledge alone is giving me a certain level of confidence. Now the knowledge of future hormonal changes will help me along even more.
For the longest time, I was happy of who I am. Now I'm becoming transgendered proud!

A "Loose" Woman?
When does being loose become a slight jiggle?
Years ago I saw a show about two young transgendered women. One of the trans women said she knew she was really on a female path when she went down a flight of steps and felt her breasts actually jiggle.
At this point I am not near to the "jiggle" point but I am at the loose point.
What I mean is I can feel a certain "overhang" I have never felt before in the breast area-what I perceive as the very beginning of a jiggle.
I am to the point where I can "cup" my breasts in my hands and feel a size increase. In addition I'm seeing a definite increase in the size of my "Areola" around increasingly sensitive nipples.
If the size and shape of my developing breasts are determined by my Mom's genetics, can I blame her for making me a "loose" woman?
