"feel bi when dressed"

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!

Heheh, how can I complain when your arguments are so well written.

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! :)

Becky's fifth Commandment ("Thou art not a lesbian...

2005-09-18T13:08:00.000+01:00

Becky's fifth Commandment ("Thou art not a lesbian trapped in a man's body") is going to cause Tranny Theologians some serious problems.

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

Trainers are "Runners" where I come from and thats about the only thing I use them for being as I try and keep off roofs..Im one of the guilty ones that uses "Hugzz" Im afraid.

And not only is the remark "not funny", it's 100% ludicrous!

2005-09-15T20:24:00.000+01:00

oops perhaps I didn't phrase that well. no 5 I find offensive and unfunny from any man whether they are TG or not. The level of unfunnyness is the same.

2005-09-15T19:11:00.000+01:00

"they don't have to be a tranny" would anyone else like to comment - I don't trust myself to do so.

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.

Eeep to you all too. I picked up "Trainers" from Harry Potter. Nothing wrong with some good healthy British slang. My girlfriend was highly amused by you list Becks. She especially liked #5 and 7. So do I. ::slips left slingback on and off::

For me its 'huggles', the worst of 'hugz' and 'giggles' combined, Arghh!

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!

2005-09-15T14:25:00.000+01:00

ickle... does it mean "little"?
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.

Thanks for clariying the "Eeep" thing... Now if I can figure out what trainers are... ;)

and Google seems to favor this outdated ICQ client for "ickle"

2005-09-15T12:20:00.000+01:00

No, no. Hug"z" is like what they do in some bands, like "K"reator, "Z"nowhite, or "Z"ounds.

... 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.)

2005-09-15T10:27:00.000+01:00

Hmmm (am I allowed to say that?) - in my limited experience girls don't talk about the same things boys do - that is they may bang on about David Beckham for example but are unlikely to be discussing his disciplinary record or his favoured midfield role. And I have a friend who, given the opportunity will rattle on about clothes etc for several pounds worth of mobile call. Apart from that I agree wholeheartedly. We'll have to have a manly chat about that lovely denim/boho skirt you wore to the Repartee party.

Spot on Becky. Always nice to read the random thoughts on your ickle blog. ;)

**Giggle**

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.
