It wasnt that long ago that I recieve an email from a “Catholic Lesbial”. The email spouted the line that is familiar to all transsexuals, “God doesnt make mistakes, why cant you be happy the way he made you.” this line seems to be only used on those who are gender varient.

I responded with a much longer email, meeting ignorance with information, idiocy with intelligence, blind rhetoric with fact and hate with love. I tried to explain the reasons for doing what I had to do, and tried to help her see that there was nothing wrong with it.
Sadly the email didn’ help but I did what I coud.

Sorry to hear of your experience hon. “Swamp of hate” is a very descriptive phrase that, unfortunately, applies in too many places. Dear, I hope you find acceptance, or failing that at least tolerance and a fair shot. There are many places in the country which display the acceptance (generally in the West and North East) so if you’re up for some Seattle rain or Cali sunshine I can recommend those as trans friendly places

I’ve gone out in femme off and on for the last couple of year ,but mostly only to clubs or bars that I know are TG friendly, but sometimes I’ll push it to a grocery store or gas station.

Luckily, I’ve never had any major bad experiences. Only once ever has anyone openly said anything directly rude to me and it was “nice tits dude” from some drunk guy at a pool hall. Putting that into retrospec, only hearing 1 rude comment out of 100+ trips in public en femme is actually an amazingly low rate. I say that based on the fact that in my normal “guy mode” day to day live I’ve heard countless rude comments. Just people being pricks and mouthing off for no reason.

Of course there’s the stares and noticeable double-takes from people, but I don’t take that personal. I’m aware crossdressers are rare and most people want to get a good look at something they rarely, if ever see, when they get a chance. I have a friend who’s a midget (he’s 3’6″) and me being dressed in public is nothing compared to what he deals with 24/7. Anytime we go out he’s a pure focal point of nearly place we go. I’ve first hand seen people literally freak out from having a phobia of midgets and make a seen trying to get away from him. He’s actually helped me alot in teaching me the art of just ignoring people staring at you for being different.
