Silly people in the street


Chrissy

1,550 views

As I walked home today, I was behind a person who ran into someone he knows and said - quite loud - "men trying to become women, that [bleep] burns me up."  He was ahead of me, so I don't know if it was directed at me (he may have turned and noticed).

Anyway, I didn't confront him (I don't make a habit of confronting random idiots on the street, seems like a wise course), but my thought was "well that's not right, i'm not a man trying to become a woman, i'm a woman no longer trying to be a man."

I channeled it more "productively" on twitter with the following:

Transgender 101: "Transitioning" isn't going from woman to man or man to woman, it's going from fake to authentic. #GirlsLikeUs

If anyone is on twitter i'm ChristieCNY :)

It was nice taking a negative and going positive in response. I'm so much better as a woman than I ever could have been as a man :)

Hiya Christie, and Eve. I have a Dormant Facebook Account. I will, when I have got time, close it down. I had too many problem's with it, so I Am Not intending to use it again. Christie well done, for ignoring the idiot's in the street. That is All that people like that are worth - ignoring !!  Christie, Your words are so eloquent. Taking a Negative, and turning it into a Positive, is Brilliant !  Eve and Christie, Have a Good Evening. and Take Care. With My Very Best Wishes, Stephanie. xx

I know what you mean about it eating up time ! But it does have it's compensations, I've just been exploring the reasoning behind the BMI limits required before being accepted for GRS, with many other members of the Trans community and one of the Psychiatrists from Chx GIC has joined in examining where the waiting list bottleneck is how best to resolve it. Couldn't do that on Twitter.

Happy that you've discovered so much about yourself,
