A night out in my new city SF

I woke up this morning and knew I was going to have a day out dolled up and beautifully girly. Although I worked the opening shift it gave me a chance to buy a new sweater top and tank top to go with my jean skirt. I keep myself very will groomed and smooth so it didn't take me long to get ready other then my hair that didn't want to cooperate. Once I was ready, I hit the town and enjoyed every head I turned and alluring look I got i enjoyed a couple drinks from a guy who admired me and my look but truly didn't know how to treat a lady right lol. I am really liking how my hips or not as narrow as before they are much more even the in the past plus side to growing up I guess. Will anyways tell me what you think I love to read your comments. Xoxo :-)

Heading into the city random thoughts

As we all know we are all at different stages or places in transition or being transgendered, no one is better then the other. We are finding ourselves and exactly what truly makes us happy and guides us to our true north. So in short do what makes you happy, do what feels right, And live life to the fullest in the way that makes you the happiest :-) xoxo

Finally bought some new jeans

Today after work I decided to do a little shopping in the store I run and picked up a couple of new pairs of jeans I think are going to look great with my new boots I got for Christmas. Here are a couple pictures. They are called Lorne skinny jean in blue and dark green



The future of Disney maybe a transgendered princess?

As a young boy curious about my feminine side and wanting to explore being girly and feminine Disney princesses always reached me as that first impact of the feminine role, this is of course after the subconscious analysis of my two sisters and my mother of what being feminine means during my younger years. I know this might shock some in regards to looking at disney princesses in this way as a young boy/girl because of the on going struggle Disney has had with objectifying the feminine role and always stressing the damsel in distress stereotype but this is only a part of how the early Disney princesses came across to me. I always admired their beauty inside and out,the elegance of their personality and demeanor, their grace and I always loved that they were the center of the story line and the lengths the princes would go to be with them.

Although in many ways Disney in the past has stressed the gender norms for women as of late they have made many strides towards breaking some of those gender molds and blurring the lines of what women can achieve and do, examples of this would be in Tangled, Rupunzel although needing to be saved on many occasions played the role of the rescuer as will. Also in Brave Merida with a bow in her hand and not on her head and not happy with being given away to an Allied clan of her fathers decides to compete for her own hand. These are all great example of what Disney has done to spur the reputation of the strong and not so helpless princess.

This brings me to my next point, although Disney has only recently done a decent job at blurring the gender lines for "women" what have they done to blur the gender lines for "men" the answer is very little. As I sit here and write this i am struggling to think of times in which I seen the stereotypical male role blurred in a Disney movie.

This brings me to my final thoughts do I see a trans princess anytime in the future? Probably not being as though it took them until 2009 just to introduce an african american princess Tiana in the Princess and the Frog. Would I like to see a trans princess? Of course and I would love to see my future kids be able to see this as a reality. I think their is no better role model then the princess who gets to be her/his self and enjoy life feeling comfortable how ever they want to be viewed. Being trans in my opinion is being happy :-).

Against Me's Transgender Dysphoria Blues

When I heard Laura and against me play this live It was the first time I had the feeling I might cry at a punk show. Thank you for writing such an amazing song


Transgender Dysphoria Blues

Your tells are so obvious,
shoulders too broad for a girl.
It keeps you reminded,
helps you remember where you come from.

You want them to notice,
the ragged ends of your summer dress.
You want them to see you
like they see every other girl.
They just see a faggot.
They'll hold their breath not to catch the sick.

Washed off on the coast,
I wish I could've spent the whole day
alone with you.
With you.

You've got no cunt in your strut.
You've got no hips to shake.
And you know it's obvious,
but we can't chose how we're made.

You want them to notice,
the ragged ends of your summer dress.
You want them to see you
like they see every other girl.
They just see a faggot.
They'll hold their breath not to catch the sick.

Washed off on the coast
I wish I could've spent the whole day
alone with you.
With you.

I am writing this as I walk through downtown sf to work

So as u all can tell its been a while since the last time I posted a blog. I have been extremely busy with starting a new job in a new city (San Francisco) and haven't had much time for myself lately, however I hope this changes relatively soon. Life gets crazy and it's easy to forget about being yourself because it becomes easy to be what everyone else wants you to be. I am going to end this rant before I walk into a tree or light pole but I want to let who ever reads this know to look forward to new posts
