Title: I'd scream if I wasnt living in an apartment
Post by: Keaira on November 25, 2011, 04:33:59 AM
I'm dealing with some really stupid yet minor crap at work, where, people have come to beleive that by not using my first name, they are showing their dissaproval of my transition. But they will use my last name if they need to contact me. It's kind of annoying because, since I have to wear a uniform,  its like being back in the military again. Only not as exciting. And I guess that I'm the hot topic for every newbie that is hired, be it temp or company employee. Surely I'm not the hottest thing since the sun, right? I have a friend who is also trans and is way further along in her transition that's kind of afraid to come out because she see's the crap I go though and things I dont even know about.

She's asked me several times, "How do you find the strength to keep going? to just shrug off the ignorance like its nothing?"
All I can say is its my own ignorance that helps keep me going because I dont want to hear all the crap about me and my stubborness. I will not let them drive me down.

Also, I'm really trying to train my voice, but I cant do it with an audience, especially when im constantly being told "Your voice is fine."
my voice might be gender neutral but it doesnt mean I have to keep sounding like an 80 yr old who's smoked all her life. And I am really really irked by it.

So thats my big issues that affect only me anyway.

Thanks for listening. ^_^
