All Publicity is NOT Good Publicity

From Stamford, Connecticut comes a story which occurred at the exact wrong time.

The "Stamford Times" covered this story  "

Transvestite arrested for alleged sex assault 

 "Isaiah Johnson"

 

 

 

 

  " Police said a transvestite from Stamford ( Isaiah Johnson) was arrested early Wednesday morning for allegedly sexually assaulting a Stamford  teenager with special needs."  

All of this is bad enough. When you take into consideration Connecticut just rejected legislation to restrict "transvestite" males from using women's restroom facilities. It makes it all so very worse. (Please note the use of the transvestite word is not mine.)

Check out this response to the story!

"Just to think that the Connecticut Senate recently rejected an amendment for HB6599, to restrict transvestite males (biologically) from entering men's bathrooms.(He corrected it to "women's") Unfortunately the democrat majority wants transvestite males in women's rooms! I hope they take warning, doesn't mean transvestites are predators but its the principle and the potential of these incidents. Sad that most of you haven''t even heard of this yet." OUCH!

I know (and you know) this is apples and oranges to the great majority of us that do use the women's bathrooms. The closest to a sexual experience I've ever seen is a woman suggesting something to me.  I do cherish and try to respect my use of restrooms. 

None of us need this! 

Transgender Weight Loss Infomercial!

As you all know I'm  a avid groupie of "Femulate". "Stana" (author) recently commented on the advantages of losing weight.
Can you imagine turning on your television at one in the morning and seeing a transgendered girl explaining the advantages of losing weight? Zumba NO! Crossdressing YES! One full half hour telling men how putting on a dress will help them to shed pounds? Wives, get that fat hubby off the couch and into a new skirt and heels.
I used to be a size 24....now I'm an 18!!!!! The size decrease is true but of course I'm joking about the rest!
Certainly the weight loss has helped me physically. The care I take with my skin has helped me too.
Too be able to wear less foundation in this summer weather alone may be as beneficial as the as shopping is better.
The increase in selection of clothes is dramatic as you drop from an extra large to a large in tops and from a 22 to an 18 in jeans.
I now have a better understanding of why women obsess about dieting. Looks and health are great reasons of course.  Better shopping takes it to a whole fun level!
So maybe an "infomercial" is possible!

Mother/Daughter Reunion!

Another story from the UK. From "The Sun" a story about a transgendered youth who recently started hormone therapy.
"Hannah's" story is becoming more and more common fortunately. Mom accepts son's desire to become female. Dad is begrudgingly accepting.
The more these stories become routine, the more we transgendered humans become routine.

"Hannah and Mum"

More acceptance, less violence. If it was only that easy!!!!

Steamy!

Heat index of one hundred degrees in my part of the world. A humid heat. The sort of heat that melts you and your makeup!
Summer is young and so far I have been able to put together a number of flattering outfits that make an attempt to keep me cool. 
I think I have passed along the fact that I can't shave my arms (due to work) and have these damn thick wrists that were a plus swinging a bat but a negative with even three quarter sleeves.
I haunt the thrift stores now searching for any lite weight top with long sleeves and there are not many.
Another problem I have is I am seen by the same people more and more so I need a wardrobe that varies.
On the positive side, the shorter skirts I've found seem to be cooling and flattering to my legs. In addition, some of the more naive individuals I encounter just know I have to be female with my smooth hairless legs.
At any rate, summer is not one of my favorite times of the year.  What famous philosopher said "deal with it"?

Dad's Not Home

With "Father's Day" approaching, I started to wonder where he went. Not my Dad. He passed years ago and was fortunate to have lived a long and productive life.
I'm thinking about me the "Dad". I have a daughter who I came out to the beginning of this year.
When I have nights like last night when no one questioned my female presentation I know "Dad" is gone. I knew Dad was gone a couple days ago when I saw the blond in the mirror as I shopped. I knew I was her...all her.
Later on this month I will get my "Father's Day" card and phone call.  I know no matter what happens I will always be "Dad". I certainly will not use the opportunity to bring the whole trans situation up again to my daughter. She has enough life to worry about!
I was thinking of getting my own card. My own little version of goodbye. Then again, a little too dramatic?

I Exercised My Right!

I exercised my right as a girl, went blond again and had a wonderful time.

I truly believe that "blonde's don't have more fun" but they certainly do get more attention.
My attention last night was all good from what I could determine. Of course other women provide the best feedback. 
I was dressed rather professionally with black jacket, skirt, white cami and flats. I passed several groups of middle aged to younger women who paid me no attention what so ever. I did get one eye eye "bitch" look from a 20 something blond later but that was it.
Surprisingly, yet another very strong "girl thing" has crept into my existence.
Since I wear a lot of jeans, crossing my legs has never really been a priority with me.
Until now.
Wearing a short skirt and leaning back and reading or texting really helps me feel woman.  I know what you are thinking..."DUH".
As I carried on a fashion conversation last night with a woman sitting next to me and later when I caught a man looking at my legs I wondered how I missed this.
Maybe it's like the blond hair...it all comes back to help!

I Can't Resist!

I felt as little evil as I read this story from France.

Stephanie Nicot, 59, wed 27-year-old partner Elise in a town hall ceremony in Nancy in eastern France in what is said to be the first marriage of its kind in the country. "Stephanie" transitioned from "Stephane" and has gone through sex reassignment surgery.  She did not get her gender changed on the public records which allowed her to marry another woman as a man.
All of that is wonderful but I immediately thought of the age difference and the "smirk" on her face." Take that all you ex friends and wives! I went through a lot to marry a much younger woman!"
Sorry...just had to go there.

New Hobby Anyone?

By far the UK has the best stories about transgender women.
This one comes from The "Sunday Sun". "Coreena Ford" tells the story of David Payne's transition to Natasha Gray...with an interesting hobby.

"On the pole with Natasha"

"SWINGING her long legs around the pole, Natasha Gray moves to the music with expert precision and everyone in her class follows her with ease.
She’s a popular pole-dance teacher, but she’d love to be a fashion model and TV presenter, and loves making outfits for pole dancing competitions.
Yet the dance classes and clothes – and 36D boobs – are a world away from her former life . . . as David Payne, a Royal Navy officer and a gentleman, who has two ex-wives."
Natasha "transitioned" from burlesque classes to pole dancing  and has even placed second in dancing competitions. Sure beats the boring old days on a ship!

Beautiful Courage!

"Janet Mock"

Out steps another trans woman. She's obviously beautiful, intelligent and brave enough to step out of the shadows to help others.
Mock is an associate editor for "People.com". Her message to transgender youth is simple. She is living proof that in fact life will get better for transgender them.

Speaking of "People .com", the site also featured "Lea T" and a "smokin" shot of her bikini layout.
