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:

      Good morning :)   I have coffee today, but the cup keeps leaking (I guess the cap isn't able to fully seal or something), so I keep having to wipe up the sides lol   Almost finished all my missing work for school, which means if I do a bit more work, I should be out of trouble with my parents (not even that bad of trouble compared to when I was younger, more just an annoyance haha)

      Sending good thoughts for you, Raine.

      Good morning 😘   Finished packing up my kitchen and pantry for fumigation today. I also modified my backpack to make it day-centre compliant.  I was able to get almost 2 hrs sleep last night, so I'll survive. 😑

      I'll be going to some Pride events as a spectator.  Maybe marching in a parade if they have open participation.    The event we'd prefer to go to is held in a small town with a population of less than 600.  They have a parade through all three blocks of their downtown area.  Unfortunately, this year it is on the same day as a memorial service for a friend who passed away this winter, so we'll have to miss it.  So our second choice is a larger town, population about 9000, a bit farther away.    And we are keeping our eyes open for other events in the general area as they are announced.   I dress a bit flashier than normal, with some trans bling, such as rainbow or trans flag earrings, a trans symbol pendant, and a handheld trans flag to wave.  Political sentiment is turning against us, but public sentiment here is still strongly on our side, so getting out and showing the flag, both literally and figuratively, is important.

      I had that going on with my last two partners who were 20 years older than me.  One of them looked older for her age as well.  I remember a couple times being in the grocery store a decade ago and having people ask "can I help you ladies with something?" and then I'd turn around with my red beard.  Well before I started transitioning, but my partner knew I was trans back then.   I struggle with this as well.  My music and political career can have a masculine edge to it that I don't like.  It's been really frustrating lately.  I don't like pushing myself on others or telling people what to do.  I've been running a website for 25 years and have virtually never tried to promote it or even look at any analytics.  I don't want to push it on anyone.  I put what I have on it and make it publicly available.  It's part of my production process.  It keeps me sane and if someone else can find it useful, then I'm happy to share.

      I'm curious, but then if I am true to myself, I have a hard time being in crowds.  I love hearing great music, but being in an audience is such a turnoff for me that I don't go to concerts or bars.  I'm just very much a producer.  I actually like doing the dishes more than going to concerts because it's an active thing.

      My therapist is trying a new tact. I've named my self protection self that ssays not eating or too much exercise because when I starting because oftrauma my protective self started and also at the time the name Shay came to me and is now part of my name.  It's not like having a split personality, just my primative self protection who is always there to help me. My therapist has Shay, me and him working as a team to assure her that I am safe and to start changing her role in my life so I protect me by eating right and exercising to maintain a heathy body. It is helping a little but we just started this a few weeks ago.
