A Couple of Firsts on Local Election Day!

[Persephone]

Today is local Election Day in Los Angeles. It was the first time I legally voted as Barbara!

I'd gone to the polls en femme one previous time, but my registered name was still male. Today I proudly signed in as myself! And you want to talk about power -- as of when I went in, around 2 p.m., the poll worker said that the four of us who had just arrived had doubled the vote so far. So I was responsible, up to that time, for 12.5% of the total precinct vote! Girl Power!

Later in the day I had my annual physical and my female doctor casually checked my breasts.

Guess I'm just one more woman out and about.

Hugs,
Persephone.

Must have been very elating signing" your" name on an important piece of our society. Glad your exercising your right to vote, so many don't. Best wishes as always.

Barbara,
I like that, local elections do bring out the crowds.

I made up ten percent once, just so much interest in local elections. :)
