And Now I See Trans* Folk Everywhere...

[Blastradius]

I have noticed the same thing, I went to Wal-Mart the other day and saw a trans women who was obviously trans and at first I felt bad that she wasn't passing very well, but then after I saw how she acted and everything I felt bad that I felt bad because she was happy and was being who she is and that's way better then me.

Also "I wear my sunglasses at night so I can so I can..."- Corey Hart, love that song!! funny video too.

It took 20 replies for someone to mention Corey Hart. You should all be ashamed of yourselves, this should have happened MUCH sooner.

Speaking of seeing trans people everywhere, I have really started to see a lot of guys buying makeup.  I used to be kind of embarrassed walking through the makeup section of the local Wal Mart, but I generally find at least one other guy "who is just buying it for his wife/girlfriend" stressing over which shade of lipstick would suit him best.

That was me last week at Sears. I was standing there looking at foundation, going "What the heck is this stuff?". The worst part is when salespeople come up to you.

"Do you need some help, sir?"
"I'm not buying this for myself!"
"Ooookaaay~"

Ive begun to just say its for me. I look androgynous enough now that I guess people accept that I might be in the make up section. Also fir the shocked expressions I get sometimes... they're hilarious!

I really have also noticed more variation in people. But I've also come to see that it doesn't really matter, and that we all make assumptions. A week or so ago I saw a woman on the bus, and I thought "oh, she's pretty." Then I noticed she had large hands and was a bit taller. I thought "oh, I wonder if she's also trans" (not that it would have mattered, I just got curious).  Then I realized, "who cares? She's a pretty girl and she's just riding the bus, why do I need to know?"

I my self have not noticed it more, but i do question my self more. I also people watch, but i don't do the sunglasses in doors. I have always known there are differences in body styles, i look more at behavior. and i notice little things that some cis women do that could be described as masculine, such as the way some stand, or walk. thats what makes me question.

I see things differently i guess since i knew and came out and all that.I was just happy to finally be set free from the life time of depression and inner struggle.I wasnt set out on any imagine but then again,as someone who never really cared what people look on the outside (i love all people unconditionally) nothing ever bothered me.i think my only issue was the fact that i just havent reached that point yet or feeling like my life has stalled or halted per say.Aka progress in full transition and thats what bothers me,nothing about being like this one,having this hair or that body build.I mean i know even now that i am special and my own person.So in a sense,i plan to be the one standing in a room full of cis or whatever,and no one doubting who i am.but like i said thats just because of the things i been through already and how i was raised.I think that if we focuse on being someone else and not our selves then the idea of perfect gets more and more complex,causing the need to change and at some point,becoming completely impossible to fulfill.I have noticed no changes in anyone at all to be honest.while im out,i mean i dont look for those kinds of things and when i do look at people,i see a person who is different but nothing with the mind set as that.i dont know,im probably the one who is weird.
