Not with my Man, in my Restroom or with my Child

Recently here in Cyrsti's Condo we have been discussing genetic women we know in the work place as well as spouses and girlfriends.  Much of it has revolved around their reaction- or lack of it to us.  Here is one reaction from Mandy:

"There's a lady on staff at the nursing home where Mother lives, and we've been talking. But instead of clothes (since I'm usually in Capri pants and sandals, with a sleeveless top), it's makeup. She's helped me a bit with how to apply, is happy that I wear it, and is always ready to talk (when nobody else is around.) She undoubtedly fits this category! Maybe I should ask her for some fashion ideas????? Mandy"

You go girl! Absolutely ask away! Undoubtedly you two share a feminine bond already! Thanks for the comment.

I have always thought it interesting how deep or how shallow an interaction such as Mandy goes if you apply it to a bigger scale.

My opinion is (you all know I have loads of them), transgender, transsexual or cross dressers are basic diversions for most women.  As I have said we cross over into their reality and they are intrigued. Having said that, for the greatest majority of women the line is drawn there.

We Got Mail!

It is a different story if a husband or boyfriend comes home with the news he is transgender, or her child does or God forbid if she runs into you in "her" bathroom. Certainly I understand all of that.  In so many cases it's a life changing experience as intensely challenging for her as it is for us.

Problems arise when we misread "public acceptance" as "personal acceptance" from other women.   I heard a pastor speak on a comparative issue in his church. Most of the congregation on Sunday is outwardly smiling and accepting but on Monday is trying to find a stake to burn us on.

Public acceptance though is a powerful learning tool for transgender folk.  When we do (such as in Mandy's case)  get close enough to the public to let them know we are only people like they are, doors do start to open. Even though ten percent of the public is rumored to have met one of us, I think in the future the probability will be much higher they will.

When and if it happens with the woman you know Mandy, you will get a gold star.  The first thought she may have is "Hey, I have met a trans person before and they are pretty cool!"

Cyrsti's Condo "Horror Scope"

You know the year is flying by when my sign "Libra" is coming up quickly as the first sign on the list from theFrisky:

"(September 23-October 22): Try to be diplomatic when dealing with the people in your boo’s life. While a few of them will make you wonder how you can even know the same person, don’t be so snotty or hurt that you close the door on that part of their lives forever. If you do find yourself feeling this way, understand it might just be you, not them."

Why do the stars keep saying a problem could be my fault? They must know something I don't!

If you want your own scope head to the link above, or it will be your fault too!

Genetic Females Presenting as Women

Recently on one of the thousand of television shows I watch, I heard the comment "She's a female but that doesn't make her a woman" Unless I was missing something, a genetic woman said it. So true it is.

Since that time, I have been bouncing around the idea of another post in my noggin called "Are Genetic Women Human Too?"

Let's see if I can toss them both into the Cyrsti's Condo kitchen blender and see if anything good comes out.

The last time I looked both genders are human!  I knew all that college biology I almost flunked would come back to help me! YAY!  OK, back to the blender. Females aren't necessarily women but yes they are still human. Now, lets toss in some spices from our culture. Both are fairly rare, so we may have to use a lot!

The first spice is a little gritty and comes from the base of a pedestal.  As I jump around the never never land of the Internet, I still am dazzled by the sisters in my culture who hoist females up on a pedestal for worship purposes. Certainly females are the "keepers of the flame" currently in our race because of their birthing ability. Past that kids, the days of wives in suburbia living fairy tale lives are gone and females are out in the world competing hard to make it.  But if want to put them in your bubble bath world- that's cool.  This is a large pedestal so the little bit of it we use won't affect it's stability.

The second spice is also so very rare and maybe a little sweet if you find it. The spice is the very mystical "if I could find a woman to show me "the ropes" of a feminine existence, I could shortcut the real learning process, and get to the "promised land."

As you could tell, I may be a tad jaded in my assessment of the spices needed so I'm going to add an extra helping of chocolate to flavor our drink.

Now, unless you are as scattered as I am, you need a bit of translation. Very simply female is a birth issue, woman is a lifestyle choice.  The same as being born male but your transgender noggin is screaming NO! Secondly, females or women do come from another planet than men but it is not the pink warm and fuzzy world you put up on a pedestal and proclaim undying loyalty to. And finally, there are a few of the magical mystery women willing to take you to the other side. You may live with one and bless her heart! Unfortunately from my perch here in the "web-o-sphere" the spousal response I hear most about is "Take your dresses and the next sound you will hear will be from my divorce lawyer."

So there you go. I hope you enjoyed your beverage.  On occasion I try to "bundle" several thoughts and tie them in with feedback I get here in Cyrsti's Condo and a couple other places I participate in.  The final parting thought I can leave you with is: the next time you are out and feeling really insecure about yourself as a woman-take heart, there could be plenty of females around you feeling the same about themselves.

Now have some class and quit making noise sucking on that straw!
