Smile, You’re On Hot Chick!
Email This ArticleIn surfing websites about trans-lifestyles, one of the misleading pieces of advice I often come across is that when one goes out in their trans-state, one should make it a point to smile as often as possible.
I understand that this is done with the intention to disarm the public - who treat movies as representations of truth - from the preconceived notion that all transpeople are somehow serial killers.
(It also follows that All high-security prisoners act and talk like Anthony Hopkins right?)
But then if one were to look at the fraction of dramas with transpeople vs. the endlessly recycled comedies that pokes fun at transfolk, it becomes obvious that if anything, being serious should be the order of the day.
I’m not sure why strangers and the faceless publie need to be appeased, or even answered to. Look at any girl walking alone in public. They are usually stern, looking to the ground to avoid eye contact with most men, and marching onwards with a sense of purpose.
A girl who is walking alone and smiling would probably stand out more.

I agree with this one.

You ARE! darling. And for that, we’ll have to get together and blow RB67 negatives up to the size of the verrazano bridge and post them online!
I think people are wary of commenting on my site partly because the last two attempts did not have mail notification. So when people did respond, I wouldn’t know about it.
Well, this is set up so I get a plush sledgehammer on my head the moment someone does!
Ow?
