Now that I've transitioned (MTF) I feel so much more comfortable expressing my masculinity and am very soon going to try doing a drag king performance if I can get my nerves up. Yes I agree that the identity police have a hell of a time with folks like us...but you know what? i say fuck em and let the trannygods sort em out :P See you next week hopefully! xoxo K Hey Jacky,

Cristopher: Indeed, I think I *was* a MTF TV trapped in a woman's body. I got rid of most of my women's clothes . . .the very straightlaced office wear type of stuff. I only kept the slutty stuff. When I was trying to be female, I would always feel awkward wearing sexy clothes because I felt like a guy trying to be a girl, which I was. Now that it's explicit that I'm a guy, it doesn't bother me so much. Especially when it's kind of a kinky context. Jim: Yes, the game is much more fun by my own rules. Thanks!

Do whatever floats your boat. I for one have never liked womens clothing. It is like being burned at the stake, but having had said that I love drag queens, kings and everything in between. Who is to say that you were not a tranvestite man trapped in a female body. oh... I love lingerie on my wife :) does that count?? c. rock on brothergirl. Do whatever floats your boat.

And is inspirational even for those of us not on the same path. Keep writing the rules as you go Jacky ; it makes the game one you'll enjoy playing - winks and doffs my cap, in some awe. “This above all,
to thine own self be true”

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 17:00:54 +0000 http://tboyjacky.wordpress.com/?p=103#comment-468 Genderkid, there is a lot of that attitude here too, even within the trans community. I respect people who choose to adhere to the binary. If they're comfortable there, good for them. But I resent it when they label me as "fucked up" when I choose to go against the binary. In one discussion/support group, when I explained that I was trans AND genderqueer, one woman said: "You're even more fucked up than WE are." So suddenly I was put in opposition to "we" trans folk and marginalised into a whole other group. *sigh* But at least there are people who get me . . . and most of the time, the ones who get me are not trans or ID as trans but without physical transition. I have met a few other people who physically modify their bodies through hormones and/or surgery and who mess around with gender but it seems we are few and far between. But it's OK . .. I'm comfortable with that. Genderkid, there is a lot of that attitude here too, even within the trans community. I respect people who choose to adhere to the binary.

It's also reassuring to know that, even when I transition, I can wear girl clothes and stuff, if I want to. I've been told that I can't have *everything*; that I can't shift between genders at will. That attitude doesn't make decisions any easier. So, hooray to all trans people who continue defying gender norms! I love the Pride photo!

As described above, Gary was a way to explore "extreme" (i.e. stereotypical) masculinity and that's not what I (Jacky) am all about. What do you mean out of the question? How could any reasonable hetero or bi male pass up on a date with a gorgeous lady? ; ) Jacky Jillian: Gary was always a stage name, a persona. It was never intended as a full-time name.
