Some of the bits about being transgender can be amusing and/or you just never really thought about until you find yourself neck deep in it. Of course, most people will never have to think about such things, since this is a relatively rare occurrence. It’s not like people wake up on a whim and decide, hey, you know, I want to switch genders for the next decade. Yeah, I’ll by that for a dollar! So, for those of you curious about this side of the street, I’ll give you a sneak peek.

Occasionally, I am going to be prone to putting up posts that just wander around. I like to put words down and when I do that with no particular direction in mind, just a need to write, peculiar things come out. For instance, why is it that they can’t make men’s clothing as comfortable as women’s? For example, I have found that sweaters for women tend to be much softer on the skin than men’s. You think men actually enjoy rough, scratchy sweaters? Is this a test of some sort? Men used to be able to wear skirts, way back in the day, but you can’t do that now. You get your card revoked if you are not Scottish and participating in the highland games. Yet, skirts would be so much more comfortable in the summer humidity than shorts. Granted, some women’s clothing is designed as a form of torture (which does appeal to my bondage side) (corsets, bra’s, and four inch heels come immediately to mind) and others they make so thin it provides zip protection in a cold wind or so form fitting you have to be greased up and have a pit crew to get you in them.
As a late blooming transgender, I haven’t had the years of practice of most women in the arena of “freezing time” also known as “the beautification regimen”. I had no idea how time consuming this is. I wonder if the ROI on this has ever been worked out. Seriously, we need an actuary to work the numbers because the time and money invested in this doesn’t produce any sort of profit margin that I can see. Oh, I am as vain as the next girl and want nothing more than to look 28 for the rest of my life, but I fell like a chemistry experiment gone awry. All that being said, in the end, it is about being comfortable in your own skin. I am discovering these little pieces because I dared to know. I took the steps necessary to discover who I am, what I want, maybe even a purpose to pursue in life. I add my voice to the many other voices who seek truth, harmony, and the interconnectedness that is a part of being human. This chorus is carried on the wind, in the subtle energy that swarms around you, in the very genetics that make you who you are. |
Lasciel AnnwynnI am one of those. Yes, that kind. I poke around in the corners and lesser explored paths of life looking for it's mysteries. There is so much magic in the world when you open your perception to it. Look with eyes of wonder. Archives
