Just A Random Thought


Sally

Recommended Posts

Well, we have all had the, what do you say if someone asks you if you used to be.. thought.

But I have been involved, at least sitting at the same table with people who don't know about me and hear them talking about gays and transsexuals without the knowledge that one of the 'weirdos' is right there.

And I have come up with a response for two of the most common Didn't you used to be questions.

You may have others or other responses.

Intelligent and sensitive question Number One:

Didn't you used to be a guy?

Intelligent and sensitive answer:

Didn't you used to be an idiot, oh sorry, you still are!

Real answer:

Not really, only outwardly, I have always been a woman in mind and spirit.

Intelligent and sensitive question Number Two:

If a guy has sex with a woman who used to be a guy does that make him gay?

The only answer needed:

If a guy has sex with a woman who used to be an infant does that make him a pedophile?

The only answer needed if he is cute:

How would you like to find out?

Bad, bad, Sally

are you really a woman?

are you?

i heard you used to be a guy

i heard the same about you

you know you are an abomination, a freak, you've sinned against nature and god and you're going to heck!

nice to meet you to!

if that's the case and it's all already taken care of, what are you complaining about?

you seem like a wonderful person, isn't it interesting how we always see ourselves in others?

is it true you used to be a guy?

i don't know, let me ask my gynecologist

why would anyone want to have their **** cut off?

are you sure you want to know? if you understood you may want yours removed too

a guy in women's clothes, you must be sick in the head

you seem knowledgeable, do you have some personal experience? what kind of underwear are you wearing?

Q: Didn't you used to be a man?

A: I was told that but I never believed it. Do I look like a man to you?

A: Define 'man' - I don't see any around here.

A: Yes, and.... your point?

A: I was always a woman, I just dressed like a man for a long time

Q: Did you cut off your (you know what)?

A: No, I payed $20,000 for someone else to do it

A: Actually I had some plastic surgery done to look better, and it got a little drastic

A: Let me show you what I have in this jar...

A: Here's the name of my surgeon... just say Elizabeth sent you

Q: Are you gay?

A: Actually I am quite happy with the whole thing, thanks for asking

A: Why? You looking for a date?

A: Funny, someone just asked me about you

A: Gay, bi, straight - ask me if I care? As long as I am happy...

Q: How could you not accept what GOD gave you?

A: You mean the bad eyesight and the bad hearing? I should have gone blind and deaf?

A: You can accept He gave you that ugly face?

A: He gave me this suicidal nature and all this misery on purpose?

A: I DID accept what GOD gave me - resolution to my gender dysphoria

FTM

Q: Didn't you used to be a woman?

A: Tried it and didn't like it. Didn't you used to be a human being?

A: You do understand that there are many types of people in the world, and that being a man or woman is a personal thing?

A: Define 'woman'

A: Yes, and.... your point?

Q: Do you have a (man part)

A: I am talking to one right now

A: Why? You gonna cut yours off and give it to me?

A: Does it matter? Men usually don't ask other men that question, so what are you thinking?

A: I have what I have, and I am what I am, you seem awfully unsure of yourself!

Q: Are you a lesbian?

A: You need to understand something, asking that about a man is stupid. Are YOU a lesbian?

A: No I am not from Lesbos, I am from Chicago

A: Why? Do you like sex? I like sex and I am whatever I am.

A: How many lesbians do you know? Well that's still all you know.

Q: How could you not accept what GOD gave you?

A: You mean the hare lip and the club foot? I should have been disfigured my entire life?

A: You can accept He gave you that supidity?

A: He gave me this despair and all this self distructiveness on purpose?

A: I DID accept what GOD gave me - resolution to my gender dysphoria

And the classic question

Q: WHY?

A: BECAUSE!

If a guy has sex with a woman who used to be a guy does that make him gay?

my friend back home actually texted me this a few months back...i think it may have been the other way around, like "hypothetically, if you become a guy and i sleep with you, does that make me a lesbian?" and i just said "no....why?" and she said "because that's what jerry springer just said. i'm gonna believe you though"

<_<

this reminds me of that calpernia addams "bad questions" video on youtube :P

Ahhhh Jerry Springer - what a piece of work - has virtually destroyed the image of transsexuality, single handedly. And he is a graduate of Tulane - here in New Orleans. We don't claim him as he is such a sleezeball for how he treats people, just to make a name for himself.

Calpernia Addams - a real pioneer, her! If you want to self promote, do it her way and show the dignity of transsexuality.

Yeah, that sounds like a friend of mine. His wife keeps his cajones in a jar on the mantle. She'll give them back to him only when he comes out and plays war with the rest of us.

Many thanks Sally, these are truly intelligent, thoughtful answers to what could be awkward questions. I especially like both answers to question No. 2.

It bugs me sometimes that she watches such garbage, i mean if she watches that, does it make what i say about it all seem less valid to her?

Whatever, I'd really rather not bring it up. I don't like having to explain things more than I have to.

I have Calpernia as a Facebook friend :D

LOL! I've always wondered if I could have some of the leftovers from SRS preserved in a jar of formaldehyde, wrap a cute pink ribbon and bow around the lid and plop that thing down in the center of the coffee table. It would be a conversation starter, for sure. :)

Do you really wear women's panties?

What does really mean?

I mean do you like that?

No, I'm a masochist!

Why do you wear stockings?

So I can hang them on the chimney with care!

Do you really wear high heel?

Yeah but I'm only 5'&7'' and no one can tell!

How come you fantasize about being a women?

Why do you fantasize about being in the N.F.L.?

When you're in bed are you the man or the woman?

When I'm in bed I'm usually asleep...What are you really asking?

Ur,, I mean are you the guy or the girl when you're doing It?

Doing It? You mean an adult action? Well I'm Both!!

OK. Well I still think you're weird!!

SO?

At this point, or at this current point in my transition, I'd prefer to answer such questions with a knuckle sandwich...and I sincerely

hope I grow out of that. Or maybe I'm just a little more upset than most over having to develope around those likely to ask such questions?

Mayhaps?

Guest Naomi Stardust

why?

my therapist charged 100$ an hour to ask me that

i can't afford to answer it again

why?

to make people ask stupid questions

(walks away)

why?

an image of Elvis on a tortilla spoke to me and told me it was my destiny to save the world from the evil alien clones

but i could only do it as a woman...

so of course i went immediately to my barber to confess my sins, mostly just bathing without an umbrella nothing serious,

but anyway, my barber said, "i don't know who you are, i don't care! i want you out of here!" he also said something about not dunking his brushes in soy sauce, it was obvious that THEY got to him first!

(at this point the person who asked the question will try to leave, you follow them for about ten minutes trying to recruit them to your holy crusade to rid the world of spinach and lawn chairs, if you do it right, they'll never ask again :D )

      I'd never heard of it until reading this.  From the thread title I thought it had something to do with the state of Idaho.  But perhaps combined with something about Hobbits, which seemed odd.  My brain goes in weird directions.
    • VickySGV
      I had my surgery 11 years ago, and yes, I too find it much more of an urgent thing than it ever was before.  One possible culprit is going to be T blockers if you are still on them, also the urethral sphincter which holds the pee back is closer to the urethral opening now and more subject to stimulation. When we gotta go we gotta goooooo!!  
    • VickySGV
      I notice that the Wikipedia article does not mention the U.S.A. which I can understand a bit.  The entire month of June here is Pride Month for all the organizations and is tied to the 1969 Stonewall Inn riots in New York and also our medical authorities are also not tied as thoroughly to the WHO as they are to the American Psychological and American Psychiatric Associations which write the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health which is generally in line with the WHO which does not play as big a part in our medical practices here.  The WHO does not impact us the way it does the other world countries which is why we are in the dark about the day.  Ironically though, one of the U.S. States is named Idaho which sadly is one of the most conservative and frustrating to the U.S. LGBTQ Community.   The day is international though in the sense of other European and Southern Hemisphere countries it seems.
    • Mirrabooka
      Hmm. Must have been that pesky 'International' word which made me assume that it was well known! I only became aware of it myself last year.   Brief history: May 17th is the day IDAHOBIT is acknowledged as it is the anniversary of when in 1990 the World Health Organization declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder. It was conceived in 2004 and first celebrated in 2005. It has gone on to include trans folk in 2009 and bi folk in 2015.   International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia - Wikipedia

      A year and a half post op. I've noticed that once the urge to pee hits, I can only hold it for about 15 minutes or so until it gets to the point where I feel like I'm going to piss myself. I used to be able to hold it a lot longer (as I  remember it).  I know my urethra is a bit shorter now, but I don't think it is enough to account for this. Am I imagining it?

      What a great moment @Vidanjali! It's always so cool knowing people are reading you in a way you want to be seen.

      It's also networking.  Sometimes jobs come along because someone knows someone else - these older people might know someone.  "Hey, Ashley," someone might say,"My nephew is looking for love. He likes tall women. Whatcha think? Can he call you?"   Don't discount their ability to match make.  It is about networking.

      He is simply doing to get more votes. He held a Trump for trans during his first run and found out the majority of his voters were against us so he simply followed the crowd.

      The sad part is I'm the third oldest member. One is in their 60's and the other is past 70's. I'm even older than the president lol. It's a younger crowd that's for sure. I like to come here to feel young again lol. 
    • Sally Stone
      Ashley, I think searching for relationships are a lot like searching for jobs, they tend to come along when you aren't actually looking.  Perhaps you could step back from actively searching, at least for a little while, and instead, concentrate on just being out and about as yourself.  Like Mae and Abby have already mentioned, just keep up your volunteering, but don't focus on a need to find someone.  Maybe, just maybe, changing your tactics will result in someone finding you.    I do wish only the best for you, and I hope someone comes along who connects with you.
    • MaeBe

      First off, you can't regret being honest. You may not be changing the relationship, but it sounds like it still exists!   As for meeting people, what about through the volunteering you're doing? Maybe you can do more of that and meet people. Let some relationships grow and if they blossom into something more than friendship, great! If not, you've got more friends!
