Maybe size does matter
I’ll be honest. Although I help Amazon and Google pick out books that compliment my site, I have not read most of the books on transvestism and transgendered lifestyle. I do know that a movie like Ma Vie En Rose makes me happy, and certainly a book like Holly Brubach’s Girlfriend- which a dear friend made a gift to me many years ago- makes big differences.
So I decided to go online to read other people’s reviews on some of these books that are adorning my website. So what’s the deal with T* people and words anyway? Why do we always write so much about our lifestyle, how we got to where we are, and what we do? Has anyone ever heard of the phrase “methinks you doth protest too loud”?
The miracle of the internet and the world wide web is that whatever brilliant idea we may have… has already been uttered more brilliantly by someone else before. Nevertheless, few T* people seem to have absorbed this. Since the internet operates in the medium of words, it’s ultimately ideas in the form of words that get rehashed and recycled.
I’ve often joked that the difference between a TV and a TG is 56,000 words (as in a thesis).
I personally would like to see affirmative action. Not in the traditional sense of the word, but in affirmative living, and success stories. Forget the words.
Show me how you have successfully survived all these years and still retain a smile.
