This is from my One Body Per Lifetime facebook page:

"Thanks a lot rocket scientist. You can point out all of my masculine qualities. I'll get you a friggin medal after the commercial break.

Well guess what. My muscular broad shoulders ARE feminine. My wide rib cage IS feminine. My huge boat paddle feet ARE feminine.

I am female not because of my body but because of who I am inside.

I was a woman when I had a beard like Captain Haddock. I was a woman when I laughed the deepest manliest laugh you can imagine. I don't need to change to be a woman. I don't need surgery to be a woman.

I AM ALREADY A WOMAN."



It like everyone who knew me as a guy just has to bring up the fact that I pretty much look the same as I did before.  Just with better complexion, no facial hair, longer hair, and boobs.  What what the heck would the female version of me look like? 

Okay there is my rant.  Anyone else with similar feelings??

My SO the other day:
"Can't you just be a ->-bleeped-<-?"
Me:
@_@.....

I know right??!! 

Sometimes, you just can't fix stupid.  Ok that might be a lil strong, but, I know what you mean.. and you know what I mean..

Meh.  Those people are just jealous that their lives are dull and boring and yours is full of adventure and challenge. 

Pity them.

Yes!  My life is so friggin cool now.  Even dealing with people who "don't agree with my lifestyle".

UGH!!

I HATE the term ->-bleeped-<-. It should be stricken from the English language.

Yes, when I hear that word this is what I think about:

Other people think about similar things. It is absolutely annoying. I don't know about anyone else, but NOTHING about wearing women's clothes turns me on.

Yeah I know! Its not just the clothes folks.  We are not trying to get a hard on.  We are female on the inside.  What else would we wear??  A toga??

I think it is worth nothing that the female version of someone isn't all that different than the male version lol. I recently posted a picture of my mother on my blog here at susans (entry 133), and sure I am starting to look like her. I am not starting to look like Kim Kardashian, I am not starting to look like someone else. I am only looking like me, with slightly more femme features.

Exactly this. Now that I've accepted it, I won't let anyone tell me otherwise. It's who I am inside and that's all that matters. Now if only it was easier to convince others, I wouldn't be looking forward to as much of a struggle.

I dunno, Lara... I saw your before picture. I couldn't believe it was the same person. I kind of think anyone who doesn't see all woman when they look at you needs to have their eyes checked.

*hugs*

No Lara, You're wrong. You shouldn't have used the word "Friggin". But this is a family friendly forum after all though so... the other one is off limits. But as for people I couldn't agree more.

@Hikari  Well, you look pretty fem in your avatar. ^.^


@Eevee YES!!! YES SO HARD!!  I'm like a cannon ball shooting through space.  Nothing will stop me.


@Pikachu  I'd like to think so too Pikachu!  It's such a pain when I hear the otherwise.  Like a literal pain.


@Jess42  So right Jess!! HAH!!

I know that I'm not. Kind of difficult without the twins and with the E.

Hard-ons and PIV sex... Umm, won't miss those one bit.  Sex "got weird" a long time ago and I hate hard-ons.

That seems to be the fundamental misconception. You can disagree with someone's lifestyle (for example, not liking that they are a bigot). You cannot disagree with their identity. It makes me want to turn to them and say "well it would be really convenient for me if you could stop being {insert their cis-gender here}, tell you what, you do that, and I'll stop being a woman". -_-

I could tell she was using the term out of complete ignorance, but it was still one thousand eyerolls worthy. If she would just start thinking of me as a woman, and not as a man who wants to dress up as a girl she might not suffer from foot in mouth disease so often.

My "lifesyle"?  Seriously?

Avoiding an early grave is some "lifestyle".  I feel like such an icky pervert now that I am remaining on this side of the turf.
