had a brief masculine spurt

...so yeah I had a brief masculine spurt, oh, and I'm back at moms. Nehoo, started feeling femme again last night and I go to talk to this person on the phone about getting my W-2 documents and I end up having a 10 minute conversation as "Miss" I was soo happy! Very excited I did a little dance and let out a squeal after I got off the phone. I'm being VERY under the radar because I have nobody to go to right now...not that I can get to, and it's so cold I don't think I could survive, not yet, I've not gotten sufficient survival cold weather training.

Today on the ABC "What would you do" television show they had an instance in which a young boy was in a toy store trying to get his dad to buy him a barbie doll, and then dressed up in a princess dress. These were the actors, and they also had an actor playing the biggot antagonist. In every shown situation someone spoke up with something to the effect of "none of your business" or "so what" in one situation an older lady mentioned so what if he DOES grow up to have an alternate gender identity or be gay, it's not her place to judge, not even the parents place. Whatever makes you happy was the general idea. I felt so absolutely vindicated by this. Given most of these people were women, but men chimed in too. Hell, even if we can get only women to stand up for us, we've come a long way. I was watching this with my dad, and couldn't stop smiling, my mother made a comment on something later that night when she got home, after which I related the story and felt very vindicated. Yes. Vindicated is the word here. The word and the theme. Shortly after I saw the show I posted a comment on the show forum online and sent a thank you message to abc for the show, explaining things. I truly hope they get it. Maybe some day they will do a show on genderfluids. Maybe just ANYBODY that walks outside in "the wrong clothes". Wouldn't that get peoples attention...
