Manifesto of Chara Jo The world sees me a man, I am not! My brains sees me a woman, it is fooled! Truth both visible and invisible, I am both, and I am neither! I am the third gender, I travel apart.

TGirlAmber distributes a Dating Guide called, "T-Girl Dating Guide." It is a very nice read. In the chapter: "How should you address me and other T-Girls" starting on page 9, she provided a very complete glossary of terms. In reading this section, I learned a few things about myself that I did not even know. In fact, I am going to get my yellow highlighter out and mark up the glossary for everything that applies to me. That way on those "blue days" when I begin to hate myself, I can re-read it and remind myself that I am special in ways that most of this world's souls cannot begin to understand. So a big thank-you and Hug goes out to Amber for the convienient reality check.

Hi girls, I use to have a fabulous wardrobe. Then on several stange days, I threw them out Now I am collecting outfits again. Maybe I just love shopping for clothes... I don't know. Maybe I love the feelings of danger while shopping for outfits while in DRAB. I had a lot of confidence shopping today at yet another Goodwill Store. It was full of women and a few men doing their own shopping. I guess if you shop with confidence, who is going to challenge you? I have back-up plan if I ever do get challenged by someone, especially if I run into someone i know. My storyline would be that I have a part time reseller business on ebay and womens clothes are always an easy sell. I could even be daring and talke about a big Cross Dresser Clientel --- followed by a little knowing wink and a smile. In fact I am pondering on making a few sales on ebay anyway. Especially for items that dont fit well or items that need a new home. I was even thinking of getting some business cards made with the TRANSGENDERED graphic on it and my Manifesto printed on the back. Peace my Friends, Charla Jo

I was out shopping today and got a few nice items. In fact, I am wearing my new necklace and skirt right now. Anyway, a couple of GG's walked by as I was pulling out of the parking lot and I found myself checking them out. I had the realization that I was looking not at them, but their clothes. The one had great fashion taste. Soon I was mentally taking her footwear off and putting on her a nice set of sexy strapy heal boots. I wondered for a few moments.... I such a girl in my thoughts.... I wonder what kind of thoughts a real guy has? Peace my friends, Charla Jo

Each day when i first wake up I am at peace with myself. I haven't yet been bombarded with the days' pressures... such as my health issues, worries about my weight, job issues and pressures, etc. I smile and think about how I am going to express my feminine side today. Am i going to share some part of it with the world or am i going to keep it all to myself yet again. Well, today was a me day. I even ignored my ringing phone. I did some online shopping and bought more that i should have... some nice and pretty things for yet another "me" day. Hopefully, the next time i think about tossing away all my pretty "me" things, I will first sleep on it and awake once more at peace with myself. Peace & hugs my friends, Charla Jo

There are so many layers of thought and discussion that could be explored from even this one small part of your query. There are always those, in every group, that beat down and attempt to destroy those not like themselves. I would wonder if some of the punishment that they inflict, on some level, is not punishment they feel for themselves. Look at the movie "A soldiers girl" Did not the instigator that got Berry killed have Tran issues of his own? I cannot answer, in general, to your query. Each encounter between the police and a trangendered person must be looked at individually. What caused the eye of the law enforcement sect to fall upon the transgendered person in question. Being TG alone in not a crime, however there are alot of TG's that have fallen into the SEX-CRIME melting pot. No one likes to have a police office encounter except those that seek it out. I have in the past conducted a traffic stop that involved a TG/CD/TS person and they got treatment just like any other citizen. In fact, they were treated by me according to their expressed gender, regardless what the drivers license told me. I doubt very much if this courtesy would have been extended to them down at the jail by either sex on either side of the iron bars. In a group of cops however, I doubt that even this little bit of human courtesy would be expressed. i wonder... suppose that two closet TG cops working together came upon a Cross Dressed Driver. Since most of us TG's have led secret lives and have become very skilled at playing roles and wearing masks, I also doubt that the driver would get much courtesy. In reality the driver would probably get a homophobic and perhaps a homocruel response as part of role either of our two cops may play.

I gotta go out and arrest bad guys today... talk about putting on another mask. Or perhaps not a mask but just another layer. It's funny what we use as force fields to protect ourselves. Peace my friends!

LOL, I had to look up in the dictionary how to spell OCCASIONAL. I've been living in the past lately, so I posted some photos to my gallery. They were taken back in 1999 when I almost accepted my real self. I even had the help of a special GG back then... she did my face and took the pictures for me.
