The Pharmacist And Me


Guest mia 1

Recommended Posts

Went to the local Target to have my prescription filled. "That it'll be about a ten minute wait", the pharmacist said.

O.K. head over to the women's section and browse for awhile. Find these incredible aqua colored tights, originally $9.95 reduced to $1.45. Pick them out and go up to the pharmacist and hand him the tights expecting to pay for them along with the prescription.

Now for the kicker, he says"Are those tights for you?"

Well that through me for a loop. Then he said"The times they are a changing."

I said "Don't knock it unless you've tried it."

He kinda backed off after that and shook his head.

I thought, "Where is this guy coming from." But the amazing thing is, I didn't back off and use the wife excuse, or a million other stammering ahh ahh ahs. B) Mia.

Well you go girl!

Standing your ground, and being proud, congratulations.

Didn't that make you feel good? Just being out and about as yourself is so rewarding.

Love ya,

Yeah it's about time I resolved that little part of my life. The fact is the Pharmacist is not a stranger or an unknown clerk, I deal with him every month. So bringing those tigthts to the register, I knew that I was outing myself ,and was prepared for any reaction. Thougth he would be passive, but when he was reactive, I stepped in and filled the breach.

Another great comeback would be. "Hey, haven't you seen Mel Brooks movie."Men in Tight's" and then do the Donna Jean,,wink.

Hi,

some tights producere have male tights in the product list. Wolford make a poll and find out that 60% off all tights they are selling are used by men. So it is totally normal to wear thights also for men.

That is sooo funny Mia. I had a bunch of lingere once in a checkout line (I mean a BUNCH LOL) laying on the conveyor belt and the lady behind me said something like what a lot of pretty things...your girlfriend is very lucky. I started giggling and told her it was for me and she started giggling too...Seriously it is a big world out there and taken much better with a smile and a giggle. I might have given him a raspberries, it seems to really exasperate those types. :P BBBbbbRRRRTTT, Kelly Ann

Hi Mia,

I read your post and smiled, I was encouraged to feel more comfortable with the world that we are living in.

I am going to have to remember that when I go out to get something for myself, anything.

That was a confidence booster, thanks

That's a cool story!

I'm about to go to the pharmacy to get my T refill. It's taking me literally hours to work up the courage. When I got it filled for the first time the person behind the counter gave me this "Is that for you?" look. I shouldn't feel shy or bad, but I do. I'm already so insecure about my manhood. It doesn't take much to damage my confidence.

StrandedOutThere. Well you just go to the pharmacist and be the same person you are on these forums. You have confidence, without swagger and you have intelligence which always is a positve trait. Remember you're the one in charge and not the pharmacist.. We're in your corner. We're sitting on your shoulder..................Mia.

Hi,

when I start buying female things I also was worried about getting question if this is for me. I found a good way. I am not the bad person. The person behind the counter is the bad person because he/she is selling this things to me and make money with it. So I am not the pervet they are ;-) It sounds strange but it help me to stay cool.

Good for you, Mia. I have found that if I accept myself and my buying habits as perfectly normal then the salespeople tend to do the same. I was in VS a couple weeks ago to see about trying a new kind of bra and a salesgirl asked if she could help me. I told her I was after a certain bra and it was for me and could she help me with the fit? Before I knew it I had three of them helping me :lol: I had a great time, just one of the girls. Afterwards she gave me little folder titled 'Your Perfect Fit' and she had written in my size and style and her name on it, too.

Things like that can just make our day, can't they? :lol:

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.

      Maybe.  But they'd probably resent being required to do it.   IDK.  You have to show ID to register already.  And you have to be registered to vote.

      Hah! Woke up the Red Scare!   I’ve never read Marx. I tend to believe in the inherent goodness in people. I let their words and deeds change that. Insisting people are immoral/less than/should not exist, stripping them (or keeping them from) human rights, is an a most basic example of true evil. What evils do LGBTQ+ people present simply existing? How does the Right justify their crusade against us? What justifies the manufactured fear and loathing they spout every day about us?

      Congrats on the new addition @Ivy I have the opposite I have 4 grandson and a granddaughter. 3 of whom are visiting this weekend. I am feeling better. I think the biggest thing is that I got some much needed sleep.   Well gotta go and speed sometime with the grandsons.   Kymmie

      I saw this concert in which it is said that the famous phrase of Jon Landau "I saw the future of rock and roll and his name is Bruce Springsteen" comes from that night. By the way Bruce opened for Bonnie Raitt that night and she was the better performer . . . just sayin'.

      Astronomy and astrophotography.  I have done a few public presentations on the subject and could most likely wing it for an hour without putting you to sleep.   On the other hand if you need a sleeping pill, I could also talk for an hour about flying and you'd be out cold.

      Please consider joining us, even if it's just for a few minutes to see what the meetings are like. I've learned so much, had so much fun and gained confidence in myself just by being a part of this amazing group of people. It's a low key, no pressure, non-judgmental chance to just be among people who are supportive, understanding and affirming of each other.    I'm travelling out of state and still planning on dropping in for awhile.    Come see what it's like!! 
    • April Marie
      Thank you, Susan!! It was such an amazing experience for me. I can't remember if I even talked about it on a Zoom meeting.   Here is the link to the post I made about it. And, again, thank you for helping to give me the courage to do it.
