As more and more people have learned about my transsexualism …<\/p>\n

Though disclosure is still controlled in many ways,<\/p>\n

I’ve found my awareness heightened as to people’s behavior towards me … attitude … actions …<\/p>\n

To try and see if it’s changed because of their knowledge of my function.<\/p>\n

However, not everything is about my transsexualism.<\/p>\n

People can be jerks and bitches towards me just as they can be to you …<\/p>\n

Not because of any prejudices or biases …<\/p>\n

But just because they are jerks and bitches.<\/p>\n

And sometimes … there’s a combination of both …<\/p>\n

Prejudices about my transsexualism combined with simply being a bitch towards me.<\/p>\n

I try not to let it get to me …<\/p>\n

And I try not to involve my friends in the problem whatever it is …<\/p>\n

Because I know for a fact in the current situation krap about me is being spewed forth and there is griping non-stop about all of my “failings”.<\/p>\n

I so want to engage …<\/p>\n

Challenge her selfish, petulent attitude and views about me …<\/p>\n

See her faced with the choice of deciding whether to admit, in the presence of others, that she’s lying to and misleading others about my representations to her …<\/p>\n

Or perpetuate that lie by stating to me, in the presence of the people she’s talking to, that what she’s telling them about me is true …<\/p>\n

She’s speaking out of both sides of her mouth.<\/p>\n

And talking about me behind my back.<\/p>\n

But forcing that confrontation does nothing positive, good or useful …<\/p>\n

And only puts my friends in an uncomfortable position …<\/p>\n

Most likely forced to choose who to believe.<\/p>\n

I don’t do that to my friends.<\/p>\n

But I honestly can’t take much more.<\/p>\n

My patience is at its end …<\/p>\n

My tolerance has expired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
