A Boy Named Sue

[Guest Angelgrlsue]

I went to a pancake breakfast that the Blind Community Center was having here in my town yesterday morning. There were at least close to sixty to eighty people that attended. My friend Lyn who is a transman was there and believe me that helped. I wore my jeans a nice feminine top, some light makeup and a touch of berry lipstick. The night before I stayed over at my friend's house who I came out to awhile ago, this is the guy who still calls me by my genetic name and is not all that understanding about my gender. I ended up sleeping on the floor of his place since he did not tell me until later in the evening that his roomate came back and is staying there again. If I would have known earlier I would have taken the train home that evening and came back the next morning to the pancake breakfast rested. Yeah, I did not get any sleep on the floor.

When I arrived at the Community center I introduced myself as Susan to the greeter and Oh My Gawd!! My voice was horrible. It was way too low even though I tried to warm it up before I arrived. The woman did not notice, thank God and was very friendly and accepting. I met my trans friend there and he introduced me to several of his friends and other ladies at the center. Everyone was very nice to me and did not know that I was transgender, although I do know some have questioned about me to my friend. My friend commented to me that one woman at the event thought I was pretty tall for a woman and the clencher was when the President of the Blind Community Center spoke to me and said that I have a deep voice for a woman, he then made a joke about "A Boy Named Sue" towards me.

My voice just gave me away to some I already know this. Sally and JD already know how I sound from hearing me on our Skype conversations. I do try to practise my voice every day, it's just the base harmonics in my voice that are so deep that is getting me read every time. I am currently using Kathe Perez'x CD program on feminizing your voice. Minus the missfurtunes I had a nice time at the breakfast and met some really nice people there.

Hugs,

Ooops, yes DJ I meant you, lol, sorry. Thank you. I forgot that the blind community determines a person's gender by their voice. It's true that our other senses are more heightened when another sense is gone or limited.

Suzie, it sounds like overall it was a good experience and you had fun, and being able to be out and about as Susan is always a plus.

I haven't heard you yet, but all I can say is keep working on it. Everyone says it takes 1-2 years, so be patient and don't be too hard on yourself.
