View Full Version : TS Reality Episode 5 – ELE is Not a Woman’s Name

There are many variations of the name “Elle” - Elle itself, of course, Elly, Ella, Elly-May (for the 60’s TV fans), plus all those that end in “elle” - Mirabelle, Anabelle, Isabelle, etc.


But this isn’t about names! Nope - “ELE” is an initialism for Extinction Level Event, just one of the many possible Out Comes of Coming Out. I.e., the Utter Destruction of Life as You Now Know It (UDoLaYNKI.) Of course, whether or not you regard aspects of the annihilation as disastrous or delightful tends to depend on which side of the transition decision you are. Possible outcomes range from possibly fun to positively F*ed. But are these the only outcomes, and how is a (T)Girl to know anyway?


What a great question!


As we’ve firmly established in prior posts - dissenting opinions directed toward and/or prior statements from yours truly to the contrary completely ignored for the moment - transition is an exact science. Thus it is possible to precisely predict femme futures. What!?? Did you just say there’s a range of possible outcomes?


Why yes! I did! And just with Biotic Crises, MTF ELE’s can be correlated with certain community quirks and kinks. Known types, as it were. There are actually a number of useful comparisons that might be made between biotic and MTF ELE’s, by the way, not the least is the importance of fossil examination to both, but we’ll let that go for now, as the fossils tend to get restive when roused. This little tale isn’t on the happy path, though, so let me cut to the chase by expanding on five of the top MTF ELE types, in community terms:


The Completely Clueless Camille ELE - No thought, no research, no introspection, no doctors or therapists, no trans friends or acquaintances. No job to lose because unemployed to begin with. Convinced that close shaves are as good as electrolysis and that really manly bodies look great in strapless sundresses. All indicating a primary diagnosis of no brains (GD only a distant and hazy second.) CCC typically transitions in a heartbeat and de-transitions a year or so later. If there’s hope for this type, it’s that if one can experience UDoLaYNKI, it is possible to create an entirely NEW life as a media spokesman (definitely spokesMAN) on the evils of transsexualism and the transgender “movement.”


The Happy Hapless Halle ELE - HHH thinks ALL of the time. About dressing. She’s only happy in a dress and, since women’s pants are -obviously- crossdressing, has no interest in those. Halle tends to spend a lot of quality time shooting mirror selfies. It’s a shame she never cleans her bathroom, but you know, the girl has priorities. It’s also a shame she never read up on makeup techniques for beard shadow, but no worries, with a figure like that in a dress made for someone 25 years younger, the shadow isn’t an issue! Whew! Post-transition she can be found … shooting mirror selfies. Aren’t wedding dresses fun!!!


The Woeful Wailing Winifred ELE - WWW is somewhat like Harry Potter’s Moaning Myrtle, except not so happy. Winnie’s transition hasn’t gone so well. It’s incredibly complicated, you see, except you can’t see because it can’t be explained. Why not? Because it seems that the list of They Who Must Be Blamed is infinitely long. That turns out to be useful, because getting to the END would be dangerous. You see, tortuous trails tend to be circular. And if there’s one person that must never be blamed, it’s good old Winnie. But if it's good for ol’ Winnie to avoid blame, it’s even better for those around her, as she tends to get titanically angry when challenged. WWW believes in botanicals. She has to, because she’s PO’d too many physicians. E is wonderful and calming. Too bad Winifred can't get a script ...


The Really Religious Rosa ELE - If RRR is certain about anything even more than her gender identity, it’s that she is guilty, Guilty, GUILTY. Rosa has already been through 3 rounds of reparative therapy, had a few clergy beatdowns (can you shout “Amen!”?), and her GD takes the form of possession fears rather than, say, getting angina over her male pattern baldness. She already knows what her relatives will think because she's confessed. She’s pretty sure the Bible would exonerate her if she would only learn Greek and Aramaic, but she doesn’t have time and she feels pretty bad about that, too. Thank God she has, well, God, as well as her church support group, because they will never, ever, give up on saving her. Never … It’s almost enough to make her feel good about feeling bad. Rosa wants to be ordained after transition but doesn’t believe in women’s ordination.


The Thoughtful Theoretical Thelma ELE - It’s not enough to HAVE GD. No, it must be dissected, analyzed, eludicated, adjudicated, weighed, winnowed, and whipped! One of life’s disappointments for Thelma is that ALL knowledge has yet to be posted on the internet. Because it’s really important to know that pursuing the factlet that will finally resolve The Problem, though it’s nested a hundred degrees of freedom away through a chain of thousands of footnotes across a hundred libraries and 50,000 documents and books, is THE motivation that keeps Thelma sane. Possession of The Fact will enable her to answer all gender questions. Unfortunately, two things never seem to occur to Thelma. 1) That reason is irrelevant to the problem, and 2) It’s a rather male way of looking at the problem. No ... wait … there’s a third: The answer is 42. Thelma will figure out how to transition. Eventually.


All of this is just in fun, of course. There aren’t any REAL people like this! Because if there WERE, there sure would be a lot of disappointed people out there whose lives were heading for extinction! Yup, UDoLaYNKI. What? You didn’t think YOU had to change, but just change your bod? LOL!!! As the Man in Black said: “Get used to disappointment.”

That was pretty interesting, Thanks Lea, I enjoy these threads you have been starting.

All I'll say is that life is not as I once knew it, and that's alright.

Sadly, I've met a few. I know a Clueless Camille. Some days I see her without a shave. She insists she is in transition, but shows no outward signs of it. How she talked a Dr. into hormones is beyond me.
I did enjoy the post tho'. Thanks.

I definitely see Thelma in myself.

Having been immersed in the LGBT community since my teens you see incredible amounts of self destructive behavior and very few positive T role models unless you go looking for them.

It can be very confusing to go looking for answers about "what you are as who you are" when you go looking out in the world.

The T for me has certainly been experienced as an umbrella of motivations for transitioning by those I have met and I may find one sister out of a thousand who reminds me of myself.

Our identity is found by what we find in others that we find in ourselves so we need others for identity through this recognition. A dance of contrast and similarity that we experience as we move through life that tells us who we are.

It can be very difficult for a woman to find this in the "T" community.

To transition I needed to stop dancing with others and just dance with myself and this is what stopped the over thinking.

I am definitely Thoughtful Theoretical Thelma. I have to dissect not only GD, but transphobia, corporate greed, the fashion police, passing and getting clocked, religion, spiritual beliefs, and types of girls (girly girl, girl, soccer mom, tomboy, butch). I also need to dissect what is male and female behavior, psychology, and thinking. I even need to analyze and dissect my friends, acquaintances, crushes, and those who have crushes on me too. The answer is definitely 42, and I am figuring out how to transition. So I am starting to move beyond the analytical phases and into actually walking the walk. Yes this means that I need to not worry about what others think.

I also think that analyzing and dissecting can be either male or female. Not all behaviors are gender specific.

I'll confess to being Thelma also ... Laughingly obvious to anyone who knows me.
