Ten things that trannys should never be allowed to write
- “have a girly chat” – Girls chat about the same thing that boys do! When was the last time you heard girls endlessly banging on about makeup and clothes?
- “dress for comfort reasons” – I’ve come home more times than I care to remember with my fishnets threatening to make the balls of my feet into chips, my falsies making strange pressure patterns on my chest and my wig feeling like a horse-hair bobble-hat. Dressing en-femme is not comfortable!
- “giggles” – Argh! No sane person writes “giggles” as if it was some kind of personal stage direction.
- “hugz” – Okay, so I write “hugs” in emails sometimes. But I don’t change letters in words if I can help it. Changing letters in words is the typographical equivalent of making little hearts over the I’s in handwriting.
- “lesbian trapped in a mans body” – No you’re not. A lesbian is a woman who’s attracted to women. And somehow when I see T-girls write this I know they’re imagining themselves as some kind of mythical lipstick lesbian, and definitely not the scary butch bull-dyke type.
- “ickle” – No. Stop it.
- “feel bi when dressed” – Wow. During which point of the dressing process precisely do you start fancying men? Can you turn it on and off, for example, by repeatedly removing and replacing your left slingback?
- “random thoughts” – Google don’t even index these words in blogs. They’re too common. No, honest. “Random thoughts” turns up more than “the”. I checked.
- “does anyone ever read this blog?” – No. Stop writing now.
- “dilation” – Eww! Post-op TS's: I know it has to be done, but I don't want to hear about it!

With you on the comfort thing... Jeans, TShirt and Trainers is comfortable.... bra, tights, wig, heels, earrings pinching the hell out of your ears etc etc is most definitely NOT very comfortable.

They work for me - you can go dancing all night, and still climb up roofs the next day
How about Eeep?? :)
Just some random thoughts.
Belly laughs
Handshayk :P
BENVOLIO
By my head, here come the Capulets.
MERCUTIO
Eeeep!
... and, yeah, every time I read something like "I came home, dilated for two hours watching TV, had dinner" I 'm reminded of those people who must absolutely tell you all about that juicy cyst they had removed recently, or want to show you the scar from that gruesome surgery they had last year... (I don't have anything against people who want to show you their colostomy bag, though. That's more like education.)
and Google seems to favor this outdated ICQ client for "ickle"
Hey, it's early over here...
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but that's Shakesperean too is it not?
Wondering if Shakespere also used LOL, Woot and Yay.....
and Joanna, if you're gonna say Merkins, you have to either remember to use a capital 'M', or an apostrophe to show that there's a letter 'A' missing. Or we'll have to bomb you. Sorry, but it's written in the patriot act. It clearly states that no one on the planet is allowed to call a citizen of the U.S. a merkin, which is indeed, "a pubic wig, worn by prostitutes after shaving their genitalia to eliminate lice or disguise the marks of syphilis."
I, however, being Canadian, do find that to be quite funny.
My other pet hate is people who write English words in e-mails (etc) as if they're texting (txtng?). Gibberish anyone?
Of course, I make exceptions for our colonial friends in the u.s. (what on earths a merkin?) as they've always been handicapped when it comes to using the Queens English!
As for 5 any man deserves a slap for that one they don't have to be a tranny it's insulting full stop and not funny.

Smile, it will soon be Christmas.
Oh and I am putting on my flame proof boiler suit and doc martens
And not only is the remark "not funny", it's 100% ludicrous!
Toodlepip :)
I have a TS friend. She *detests* her body. She also fancies women / is not turned on by men at all. A lesbian trapped in a man's body is EXACTLY what she sees herself as. She's in trouble here: either she stays as a guy and hates herself, or has to go sexual preference reorientation therapy when she gets out the other side of the transition. This one will be more trouble than the U.S. 5th. Amendment.
I know it's a bit of a serious reply; I just wanted to stand up for my friend's right to assert her identity as she chose. Yes, I know it's humour (I removed mine before sitting down to write this). Just that anything which says to someone "what you feel is wrong" isn't a good path to go down.
On those grounds, I'll have a rant about the Seventh Commandment too ("Thou shalt not feel bi when dressed") - ummm, what if they DO feel bi? Which presumably is why they're writing it. Clothes DO change the way you feel, as any suit-wearer knows. So I'll line up the howitzers on #2 too ("dress for comfort reasons") - maybe they're talking about psychological comfort?
Sorry, Bex, that it's been a bit heavy - I wouldn't have written this if I thought nobody read it :D And I can't express it properly, but the ability to post comments back makes it somehow okay, even good, to air thoughts that could be contentious. Democracy in action? (I've been reading the Economist all morning; it's infectious :S )
Mind you, I'm very guilty of using stage directions in e-mails too (Gemma frowns seriously at Becky), so this could just be the ravings of an insane tranny.
Hugs, and respect, Gemma xxx
You're right, a lot of what I write is open to debate. And when I write stuff like that I tend to strip out all of the "In most cases" and "In my opinion" phrases as they lessen the impact.
When actually as with most things, there's always exceptions that prove the rule.
As for the lesbian thing, I still maintain that your friend and others like her are not lesbians. She's a transgendered female who fancies women. Maybe there needs to be a special word for that! :)
Ooooh, this overused phrase really grates me. Is it some sort of self-acceptance seeking for a tranny who is still in denial that she may infact be Bi or Gay? Nice to see I'm not the only T to have issue with this Becky!
