An Interesting Day

Recommended Posts

OK, some of you already know about my car not running well at all, my having borrowed my dad's van and having to replace the battery in it and now the air conditioner going out in my house - so now you are all up to speed on Disaster Central. (Sally's Life)

Today I had arranged to take my car to a garage where they will repair it and even give me a ride home while they work on it - perfect!

I got dressed (in male mode - yuck!) and drove my dad's van over to his house and pulled my car out of the driveway - not very easy, it died 5 times.

I parked the van in the driveway and started to the garage - the car is using only 2 or 3 of its 6 cylinders - so getting it moving from stop signs was difficult at best - about 12 blocks from the house I had to start up from a stop sign and go uphill - that was too much for the little engine that couldn't - so there I sat in the middle of the street waiting for traffic to clear so that I could back over to the curb.

I called my insurance company's Road Side Assistance number and was told 50 minutes was the fastest they could get a tow truck to me.

Now the good parts begin, I called an old friend to make arrangements for picking up the car - he is available and willing - so good news at last.

Then I noticed a man who had driven past me lived about two blocks away so he walked back to offer me the use of his cell phone - he wanted to be sure that I had been able to call someone - very nice!

The tow truck may have been one of the nicest ones I have seen around town - sparkling clean and it locks around the wheels rather than attaching to the frame or bumpers - no damage to the car.

As we were driving to the garage I got a few odd looks from the driver as a truck towing a car tends to surge a bit and - well, let's see how do I put this - my breasts were jiggling - I knew it, I could feel it but there wasn't a lot that I could do about it - so we talked and listened to his GPS system.

I am covered up to 15 miles per tow - the garage was 16.8 from where I had stopped - he said, "OK, you're good." and drove away.

I am not sure exactly what he thought I was but the older gentlemen who came up to see what we needed turned to his partner and said, "She is the one who called about the Sable."

That made me fell great - I hated to put my name on that form - I was so happy, I wanted to just sign "Sally" but I couldn't - I haven't done any of that sort of paper work yet.

He drove me home and we talked along the way about things that we remembered from when all of this area had been country and actually hunting areas.

I am here in the hot house without a car and feeling pretty good about myself - everyone's first impression was female!

I have a ride to pick it up and I will have my car fixed by tomorrow evening for work.

Now to go sit in my refrigerator for a while - I'll be back soon!

Love ya,

Sally

Oh my goodness, Sally......

See what the little word "She" can do for a suckie day?

LOL...well, it seems that somehow, everything just fell into place for you...That's great....

And I know a lot about car engines myself....Call the garage and have them check out the "Canooter valve"...that is usually the problem!

And if it's too hot in your house without the air conditioner working....put on an ankle bracelet!

No, no clothes......just an ankle bracelet....works for me!

LOVE you, Hon!

Sally,

Good news about the hot house-and you'll be much more comfortable going outside and having fun than those people who sit in chilly houses.

At least that's what we've been telling ourselves since the central air died a couple of years ago. We hit a spot where we lost all of our money-I mean really all of it-bad financial adviser, the rear end went out in the Suburban and the central heat and air went out- all in less than a month. Mostly still there actually.

No money, no ac and te Suburban is crouched uselessly in the driveway -this time it's something with the injectors.

Male I may be but all automobiles hate me and find ways to sabotage me every chance they get. You have to watch them every minute and they'll still get you.,

But the good without air conditioning thing really is true.

I don't give a ....... if it's true or not on a 100 degree day with humidity thick enough to drink but today with 70 degree temps it sounds good.

Glad there was bright spot in your day

my breasts were giggling

I confess. I chuckled when I read this.

ok, I'm calm now, :P

But I did because I "knew " it was coming. I knew the day was coming when that would happen . Suggestion for when you gotta be in the other mode? (and you won't like it cuz its hot there) snug tank shirt under whatever you have on. Cuz I gotta tell you, guys like me (and obviously he was) , with the x-ray vision....... suffice it so say, theres a mtf at my church who's still convinced she doesn't "really " need a bra and......if she knew what all I see...... if she were a natal female someone would have beeeeen said something as it is I think even cisguys who might read her are "highly uncomfortable" with how "uncensored" the show is. Remember, just like you see how not like gynecomastia they're shaped so can others. **does the decent thing and goes in another room while you "arrange" yourself

I am sorry about all your problems. At least there was a little bit of good that came out of it. Hopefully the temp drops to low 70's tonight so that you can sleep.

Love,

Sarah F

      Good morning   We are going to be attending a different congregation today.  I particularly wanted to meet Cee Cee Armstrong, our minister’s co-moderator partner.  Her church is about 2 hours away.  So we will be leaving in about 30 minutes.  She knows we are coming.   going along with what was written yesterday goes the question “Am I trans enough?”  And all I can say to those who ask that question is that there is no defined answer as to what is enough, just as there is no answer to what is too much.  We are all different.  We are all marching down this road together.

      This is an awesome and needed idea. Thank you @Vidanjali.   I know a young MTF who graduated from college and her parents disowned her and told her not to come home ON THE DAY OF GRADUATION. I reqwuest prayers for her to find comfort, housing and joy.

      TW: Violent hate crime   Hi Been... a good long while since I've popped up here. Made some friends. All trans girls. They're lovely and supportive. But one of them... a couple times now, she's made comments dismissing pains of being FtM (such as binder pain) with a response of something along the lines of "well, we (trans woman) get murdered." She gave a lengthy, heartfelt, absolutely wonderful apology for it that I appreciated so damn much. But, -expletive-, man, something about those comments stuck with me I guess? I'm not hurt by what she said anymore because she apologized sincerely and explained she never meant any harm and I wholeheartedly accept her apology.  But something about that... has just been weighing on me. I think it may just be the guilt of privilege? But, a little deeper than that, wanting to be seen for my struggles, too. Trans women get so much coverage and visibility compared to trans men (which this friend has also contested in the past...?) and I think a part of me is just... I don't know, I feel awful because it feels insensitive to imply that "oh, I've got it harder, don't you see?" but I think I just want to be recognized for the fact that I'm SO -censored- scared of being hatecrimed. I don't pass- she does! And yet she talks about how her group gets violently hatecrimed more often and I'm just like... I don't know. She's white, too, as am I, both middle class Californians as well, neither of us are extremely at risk here. I don't even know what I'm feeling here. I just want to vent, I want some advice, I want someone to tell me how to feel. Is it true that trans man rarely ever get hatecrimed? That doesn't feel real.    I don't know if this is something similar to white guilt, just guilt for having privilege, or if this has a deeper root, I'm just so... torn up, for no reason, about these things that she's said.    Part of it could be that she, and my two other friends, are all on HRT, while I've been stuck in a household that won't allow any medical transition till I'm 18 for 3 years and another one to wait. And that I can't talk about that. Because I feel like I'll bring down the mood. And that my dysphoria hasn't gotten easier, I'm still as -toasted- up as ever over it, but I feel the need to sit in silence instead and on top of that have to constantly hear my friends talk about small annoyances regarding HRT that I would KILL TO HAVE.    Now I'm just ranting. I think there's a lot of mixed up feelings here. Let me know if anyone relates to the guilt thing, though. Would appreciate it. Thanks y'all. Sorry for disappearing. Glad to be back.

      I know it's frustrating to hear, but you have to be patient. 5 weeks is nothing. It can take years to grow facial hair. Even then, you may be unlucky and not get much. Everyone's body reacts differently to T. You just have to be patient and let T do it's thing.

      I've been on T for 6yrs now, my levels are good. But I still don't pass very well, I look very feminine. I have top surgery already.   I can't tell if it's bad luck/genetics or if there is some reason why T might not "work" on me. The only thing it has done well is lower my voice. Everything else, not so much. I have a bit more muscle, and a tiny bit of chin scruff. That's it.   Is there any medical reason why T might not have much of an effect? I asked my PA and they didn't know.

      Thank you for the welcome. :)   As an adult I don't actually get much (if any) hate directed at me. As a kid/teen I got discriminated against and ostracized. And online is crazy with hatred. But in real life I just keep to myself and that tends to make others not bother you. I think I get a double take from someone every so often, but I don't get stared at or anything. I do get called ma'am sometimes which sucks and is embarrassing.    I like the positive self-talk, saying that you are trans, you shouldn't have the same "expectations" as if you were cis. Some trans people are lucky, some of us are not. I'm not. The only thing I got lucky with is my voice. Everything else, nope.   I will try and remind myself that I'm just trying to live my life, I didn't choose to be born this way, I don't need to be embarrassed of myself in every situation.

      A wonderful proclamation that is going to have fur and feathers flying in many locations.  It actually saddens me that we are such a divisive wedge in peoples political leanings and this proclamation will drive that wedge deeper until we can heal those divisions.

      All of this is very validating for me to read, as the issues you have faced are all too familiar to me. The compartmentalization of friends, the double life, the not being considered “trans enough” by the trans community…all have been my experience too. I think that’s amazing you did a workshop on part-time trans living…I would have loved to have attended that!    It does hurt when people, especially full-time trans individuals, and even medical professionals, look down on part-time transgender presentation as not being legitimate. I don’t like being lumped into the cross dresser community even if being bigender more resembles cross dressing, not because I have anything against crossdressers personally, but because for me, I don’t relate to a lot of what I’ve seen in the cross dresser community. If I had felt adequately supported in being able to transition full-time 25 years ago, I likely would have. And even if I had, you still would have never caught me wearing heels and rarely would I wear a dress.   For me, how I live is a compromise and an adaptation of having a feminine spirit in a body with male anatomy and not wanting to take surgical risks, plus not wanting to deny my past history of living male-ish and not feeling comfortable presenting particularly androgynously either. I suppose it is possible that at some point I may change my mind and actually transition…apparently that does happen a lot. Maybe I’m unusually stubborn to have stayed part-time this long. Ultimately for any of us who are not cisgender, any presentation is some kind of compromise and there is always going to be someone who doesn’t “approve.”   Ultimately so many factors go into how ANYONE presents themselves publicly, from their past experiences and their comfort level wearing particular clothes and hair styles, I really think no one is in a position to condemn others. It’s just another version of the same old story of people not accepting others with characteristics different than their own.
