Kinda Odd
I guess I’m thinking about some of these things again because I’m getting into the whole disclosure cycle once more ….. though, with the exception of one person, duh, at a much less personal level of friendship, it still carries some of the same disclosure hurdles as with anyone ….
‘ways ….. just an odd observation about myself …… the one question I inevitably get asked that seems sorta, kinda, strangely uncomfortable for me to answer is not what I’d expect …. nope ….. I have no problem with the ….
Are you gay? Have you dated men? Are you a crossdresser? Have you dressed in women’s clothing? Are you really going to cut it off?
….. questions. Nope, they don’t bother me at all.
But the one that makes me somewhat squeamish is the ….. “What’s your girl-name?” question. Odd, huh? And I like my name, granted, not as much as I’ve come to realize I like my kid-soul sister’s name, but hey, mom and dad always liked her better anyways, it’s only natural they’d give her the best name :P, but …. it’s still a bit of a strange feeling for me when I say my name when I’m in boy-mode. Hmmmmm.
the question i got most often was,
“How do you change your name?”
but i already had a reputation as an outspoken and opinionated bisexual transvestite, so that was about the only question left…
(yeah, i became republican AND catholic after transition…)
I think I said that once when I sneezed while doing a shot of tequila … to this day I can’t figure out why it sounded German.
If anyone asks just tell them your girl name is Svianhelmdagigernaughtil…. that will stop the questions right quick
