    JB and Sandy Read my letter on the air!

    JB and Sandy Read my letter on the air!
    So on the way to work in Austin Texas this morning my wife and I are listening to the JB and Sandy morning show on 94.7. Sooner or later the topic comes around to the fact that Oscar De La Hoya has apparently been outted as a crossdresser and now the poor guy has his pics posted all over the internet. The JB and Sandy radio show is usually pretty humorous so I fully expected them to take full advantage of the opportunity to make fun of Oskar and crossdressers in general and was pleased when they didn't!
    Oddly enough, the one that seemed the most put out by it was Autumn, a young lady you might consider sort of a sidekick of the show. While I don't recall her exact words, the gist of her comments was that it was weird, and how could he do this being a husband and father of 4, and how could he be gay, etc.
    To my surprise, JB and Sandy both spoke up saying things along the lines of "we all have our things we wouldn't want everyone to know", and "what's so bad about it, he isn't hurting anyone". I was so impressed that when I got to the office I did something I've never done before - I wrote them an email. I told them that I was impressed and relieved that they had responded in what I thought was a reasonably adult way. I went on to tell them that most of us (crossdressers) have the same hopes, dreams, morals, and standards as anyone else. I also told them that most crossdressers are not gay and DO get married and have children, we just like to look pretty! :-)
    After writing the email I packed up my tools and laptop and headed to a local customer of mine where I was working this morning. Imagine my shock when I started the car to head out and heard them already reading my letter on the air! I was stunned! Once again I waited for the other shoe to drop, fully expecting them to start taking pot shots at me - and again they didn't! They read my letter in the spirit I sent it with, and said "cool"!
    So, it's a long way from being a hero of the TG revolution, but I actually got to put a little good press out to the entire city of Austin Texas - how cool is that?!

    It's a long way if you measure with a Microscope, Kimberley.

    You spoke from the heart in spite of possible negative consequences. That risk taking courage (du Cour = of the heart) is Heroism of the First Water !

    Thank You !

    We need to keep taking advantage of opportunities like that to show the world that we're normal too.

    WAY cool, Kimberly. It is refreshing when you find those pools of sanity, and you are able to correct some of the basic misperceptions "most" people have regarding crossdressing. The young lady obviously needs to be more aware of the world and to know there is much more to the human condition than can be seen thru her small window to the parking lot. Would you be able to post your mail here so we could read what Austin heard? You ARE a hero!

    Totally awesome, Kimberly!! I would just like to say thank you for taking the time to respond the way you did and hope that other listeners ears perked up when your letter was read. It's also great to know that at least some of those in the media see this issue as not a 'sick way of life' but just different.

    Thanks again!

    I am a beautiful, young victorian style lady. Demure, gentle, kind and giving. I love to be feminine in lace and intricate delicate patterns flowing skirts, the kind of sexy that makes you desperate to know what I'm hiding underneath!

    Well howdy Carrie! I work 100% as Matt. At least one person in my office knows about me, and I think one other does but I am not sure. I am not "out" by a long shot though.
    As to meeting, I don't get out in Austin often as its hard to tell my family "Hey, I know I've been gone all week but I'm gonna get a hotel and go out this weekend. See ya'!" My wife and I also don't want my neighbors or daughter seeing me dressed. But even given all that, I DO get out here once in a while and would be perfectly happy to meet you sometime. :-)

    Great post Kimberly. And a super email to the radio station. We need more people giving positive comments about cross-dressing, and other abnormalities in our lifestyles. Just because we want to look pretty, as you put it, does not mean we are not normal in other things in life. Again, thanks for the great input for us gurls.
