I Didn't Know it was a Contest

During my never ending surfing of Al Gore's web I find these little gems.
This one was called:

"Why transwomen will never be as exciting as women.


It is often said that transwomen can be more beautiful and feminine
than actual women. You hear transwomen say that women who do not
conform to femininity cannot measure up and are not real women, not as
real as them…

So I’ve been thinking about what men get out of being with actual
women. We know that they get services and free labor, such as: babies,
cleaning, emotional support, physical care, sex etc… If transwomen are
able to do some of that and “embrace” the lot of the oppressed then"

I was amused on several levels. The first was the assumption that women are oppressed-don't tell my daughter that.  The birth option is another. What does say about the genetic women who can't or don't want kids? Some say defining "real" women by the birth option is reducing them to a walking vagina.
Finally I thought it was interesting she raised men to the top of the gender food chain by assuming all women- trans or not- are in competition for a man.
Me thinks she protests too much!
I dropped some thoughts on her blog. I will let you know if anything interesting happens.
fine. 

More Hedwig?

It's been awhile but rumors are circulating about a sequel to the movie "Hedwig and the Angry Itch" Hedwig was a 2001 American musical comedy based on a stage musical about a rock band with a transgender East German lead singer.
Think of the sequel possibilities.  Maybe Hedwig settled down to a life as a suburban housewife or maybe a jingle singer for Chick-Fil-A?

April Ashley, transgender transsexual British model
Check this quote:

"April, now 77-years-old, will be accepting an MBE from Queen Elizabeth
this fall. Which is interesting, because the <strike>reptilian
satanist<strike> Queen of England hasn't exactly been a major
supporter of the LGBT community. . . But I guess even her cold-blood
has warmed to April's pioneering legacy:"

"The very famous Liuzhu, who is called a "WeiNiang" in Chinese because he is a man who likes to dress up as a woman attended the spring and summer style conference. He was wearing a white suit and looked so sexy and beautiful.
His hair looks like a geisha's hair and to steal the spotlight successfully, he also brought the pet dog to cheer for him."

Thought of the Day

Does a new tatoo on an old person look better than an old tatoo on a young person?

There is Someone in my Head

I'm an old self professed hippie
Of course one of my favorite bands has been the Moody Blues.
One of their songs has a lyric which includes the words "there is someone in my head and it's not me."
I used to believe that about my gender dysphoric self. A whole lot of booze went into trying to get that other person out of my head but she wouldn't leave.
It was refreshing to catch the song on a classic rock station I was listening to this morning.
I realized the someone in my head is me and life is so much better!

You Probably Knew to...

NEVER eat at a "Chick-fil-A. If you didn't, read on:

After years of masking anti gay policies and affliliations under a guise of friendliness, Chick-fil-A is boldly embracing the discrimination of LGBT American's. Which is not exactly an earth shattering announcement if you ever knew anything about this radical right company.

Now,  I believe it is their American right to have any belief they want at Chick-fil-A and I believe in my right to NEVER give them a cent of my money and to tell others about them. Plus I don't believe in their Un-American right to discriminate.

Here's an example of why:

When questioned about Chick-fil-A's donations in a recent interview, COO Dan Cathy replied "Guilty as charged" Cathy continued: "We're inviting God's judgement on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say we know better than you what constitutes marriage."

Obviously Cathy knows better than God to make that statement.

We all know "what comes around-goes around" and someday we will read about Cathy having a little break in a porno theatre with a chicken sandwhich. (I just love the use of his last name!) 

In the meantime, you can do more than just not eat with them.

Go to the Human Rights Campaign  site to sign a petition.

Remember that Cathy believes in God's judgement to make money.

It's number one in his "Ten Commandments".

The "Three P's"

Every once in awhile these stray thoughts run through my noggin and I have to put them down in words before they go into the huge never-never land of my brain.

I don't get into the topic of presentation much here at all for various reasons. 

I believe one person's successful presentation is another's dismal failure number one and number two most of us follow a progression of moving past presentation into perception. We are who we are.

That is not to say you should ignore the basic styles and fashion of the gender we are moving into. After all that can be the fun part!

When you totally perceive yourself to be your gender of choice then you are home free with most of the public. They know it's not just dressing up for you if you are wearing your new heels or that new tie (for you trans guys).

Male India actor with a great example of softening the male triangle.  Long straight hair  over the shoulders and of course the breasts which become the focal point of the look.

Another "P" word which pushed it's way to the surface this morning was proportion. Even though I'm far from being a small humanoid, a dear friend has always pushed the proportion word on me. She pointed out that my big parts just seemed to fit together. I've always believed (as evidenced by the zillions of on line cross dresser pix and video's) that many men have really good looking female legs. Of course the cross dressers get fixated on them and forget their bodies are like a triangle-with the point at the bottom and the top across those broad shoulders most of us have. We know there are many ways to fix proportion from do it yourself foam to purchased fixes to hormones.

The final "P" I'm tossing into this post is power. 

Your inner belief in yourself gives you a power of being which people sense. That purpose will take you far.

All right dammit, enough of playing with the "P's". So I did more than three-never said I could count! You get the point! (Sorry)
