Nope. I live in a rural area. Pride events are for city folks. The normally quiet LGBTQ+ club kind of changes atmosphere during that time, and things get a bit political. As a non-Democrat, I avoid it.
For me, definitely the size thing. I'm 5'4" on a good day, and 100lbs. I can pass as a teenage boy, but never for my real mid-30s age. And since my husband looks older than his age, I'm often assumed to be his kid. Or folks think there's something illegal going on.
Also, my lack of the typical aggressive "masculine" demeanor. I don't really desire the typical masculine social role, nor could I do it even if I tried really hard. I'm usually quiet and kind of timid.
My size. A lot of guys aren't 5'3" at seventeen.
My hands. It's a less noticeable one, but my hands are very "feminine"? If you know what I mean.
My voice. Very high-pitched. I don't just sound like a female, I sound like a little girl sometimes
My chest. I've had to stop binding due to frequent aches doing so, and it's not nearly small enough to just cover with baggy clothes
My family. They still call me she/her, so that's an automatic out.
My anxiety. I might be able to pass better if I had the courage to correct people. Instead, I'm too scared to speak up, so I find it hard.
My lack of men's clothes.
Anyone else have these problems, or other ones?
From what I have read and heard most people are so.busy with their everyday lives and either looking at their phones or in a hurry to notice you out and about.
I can relate. I have always played a female character when given the opportunity. Not really and reason except I just alway pick them since I was young
Yes, our little town is having its 3rd annual Pridefest. I've volunteered the first two years from setup to tear down (though I do take an hour off to eat and drink in the middle).
Then I attend a bigger one a couple towns over that has had some decent entertainment from some semi-famous folks (Laura Benanti, Patrick Wilson, Carmen Carrera, Judy Gold, etc).
This year I made sure to ask off of (weekend) shifts to attend a 3rd one where a group I'm in is in the parade.
Hi Vicky, I agree with you, so far since the time I've been under the new treating doctor's care, she prescribed me medication, but it's for children lol luckily my pharmacy warned me from a phone call not to take the medication.
Welcome to the party, M.A.
Sounds chaotic haha, I can confidently say that living with only two children the same age is stressful enough, much less three!
