Feeling Bad

[STACY B]

Boy Ol Boy do I ever feel Bad,, Than again I may feel Bad for no reason but I do just the same,, Let me back up and tell yall what happen yesterday. I was down at the store that I go to a lot and just popped in for something real quick and of course got to running my mouth as always.

Don't know if any of you have heard about the new Law here in Mississippi about refusing service to LGBT or anyone else that they don't agree with on or about there religion? Anyway you get the gist of it and it's kinda all the talk around here now, Anyway as you know an I have told yall time and time again this person you see on here (Me) is no internet jockey that sits on the screen and runs there chops and then is a totally different person in public. I am the same any place I go,, Believe it and don't admire it because I am a Rebel and the life of a rebel is pure Hell, People like me can't ever conform to requirements no matter what the cost, That is the reason I have always had a loner job, Don't play well with others at all.

Not that I am a Butt Hole it's more than that, I can't just go with the flow and shut up when I see something I don't agree with. So anyway I am the worst person to be a so called Tranny or Trans person as far as being stealth , Just like if I went shopping and was dressed to the nines and everything was good except the voice that would not stop me from saying anything to other people,, Bad Tranny, I could NEVER get away with anything nor can I ever just shut up at all.

So the reason I am feeling Bad is like I said I stopped in the store and was Joking with the owner and one of the chix that work there , The owner is a woman also, An I said is it OK to come in and shop here,lol,, Of course they said WHY? I said you may discriminate against me and not want to serve me because of the New Bill,,lol,, Of course those 2 Goofballs didn't even know what I was talking about. Anyway right in the middle of this conversation a chic walked in and she looked like any other chic but for one thing, She was a little taller than me, I didn't pay much attention to her and another girl was at the register buying something and using a credit card and they were waiting for it to process and like I said I was still talking about that bill while the tall woman waited at the counter in front of me standing kinda off to the side. You know how when you talk you look at all the people around you to see there responce and this all happen real fast and I glanced over at her and for a second and thought,,HUH,,,Maybe,,Naaaa,,, I don't know Maybe? Na,,, All in a couple seconds and all of a sudden in the middle of my rant over the bill SHE walked to the door reached out to get a free paper and slowly left real easy like? I thought to myself that was strange? Then it hit me, I think she WAS TRANS? OH NO,, The whole time I was talking about myself and I think SHE thought I was talking about HER!

Now mind you I have hair halfway down my back, An I don't look normal by any means of the word, But she didn't look any different other than she was tall? Latter after my SO got home I told her what had happen and she said that don't surprise me with your Big Mouth you may have Scared the Crap outta of her? I said she walked in while I was in the middle of clowning with the 2 chix and may have taken it towards her and that wasn't my intention. Now the one girl at the store knows for sure about Me, Now the owner who knows, I am sure the others have told her, Not like I look normal anyway,lol,,

But just to do some damage control and if by some chance the girl in the store yesterday by the Boat place is on here and not a member but is reading this I was talking about myself and not YOU.
But if your not on here all of this is just for my own personal well being and to tell other that some times more offen times when we say stuff about ourselves and think no ones around we need to watch out for sisters and brothers out there too,, Again SORRY you came in right in the middle of that, Thought I was the only Unicorn around,,lol,,,

I'm sorry you feel bad about the sister, Stacy, but I think you did right. Keep spreading the word that we're all just people, trying to make it through. Call out that hate crap!

Well just hoped maybe she was on here without telling her location? Well guess we will never know,, But I said Sorry anyway and now I feel better,, Hell I guess my Redneck upbringing hasn't worn off as much as I thought,,lol,, Like I said there few and far between here as far as being seen. I just don't care I guess, But like I said I'm no right fighter and I am not waving a flag and yelling or running around in tight dresses and heels.
But,, Like I have said a many a time before,, Don't ask questions you DON'T want to no the Answer too! If someone ask,, Then I will give them my version of what and who I am the best of my ability. I am no expert by no means, But if you have no degree or and have not been to collage for Phycotherapy then keep your half wit comments to yourself,,lol,,

Hey I will tell um that,,lol,, These folk around here are like kids,, You have to consider the source and move on,, Hell it has it's advantages,, If it wasn't for stupid people no one would be around to make us look smart,,lol,,

You and I both feel like we are the only ones out here in the middle of nowhere, but we are not alone, Stacy. I'm sorry you got caught in the confusion of battle and may have scared a sister. If you remember what she looks like and see her again, you should apologize to her and tell her that the subject was you not her. Hopefully she will realize that she actually has an ally as you explain.
Being in Mississippi, I hope you stay safe as you fight it out on "the front lines." The only reason the battle hasn't moved across the river is because our legistlature is not in session. I know the fight can easily come my way, so I got your back, sis! Be careful and stay true to yourself.

Stacy, you bring up a good point. There are business owners who do not object to same-sex marriage or someone having transitioned in Mississippi. I know you can't answer my question with certainty, but how do you gauge the situation. Would you say that most business owners in Mississippi are not bigoted? A few? 50/50? Or would the bigots tend to live in smaller towns with mostly open-minded businesses in larger cities? I mean, do you feel safe shopping for groceries, dealing with your bank, getting gas, shopping for clothes, etc?

And how are LBGT people and their supporters to know if the business they are interested in dealing with are bigoted. Does the state require the bigots to place signs in their windows stating they support HB 1523? Seems only fair, that if a business does not want to deal with LGBT, they should let people know so that people who are against HB 1523 can take their business elsewhere.

Edit - My SO came up with an excellent solution to these bills. States could require that if anyone wants to profit from a business that serves the public, they should first agree to put aside personal religious beliefs on the job. If a bakery owner cannot see himself making a cake for a gay or trans wedding, then he should not be granted the privilege of owning a business license. He could choose another line of work where his religious freedom would be protected by not having to deal with people he disagrees with.

Stacy, that just sounds so unfortunate for anyone to do without realizing it! :( If the person was trans, I hope she saw your post and wasn't too upset by things. I just moved back to coast area as this bill was passed and have been scratching my head over the responses. While I was glad to see one local mayor go on national media and say his city has no interest in upholding the bill, seeing a few friends and close relatives get so behind it has been uncomfortable to say the least. Reading through the bill just left me wondering how long before a lawsuit gets it overturned. It hurts my head thinking how much trouble this thing is going to cause, if not here then somewhere else if that state gets the idea to enact similar legislation.

[STACY B]

No there is No discrimination here at all,, As a matter of fact it's no different than before. This whole deal is not about the LGBT movement , It about Control. Look at your History, They all started picking on the weakest link first, And they make sure it's all on something that is so simple and really not a problem anyway. And they get all of the Half wits all riled up over nothing and steer the whole thing in another direction and lie to everyone.

But,,But wait,, Next they start with something Bigger, And start taking that away,, It's not about us,, Its all about CONTROL, Taking away FREEDOM, Sooner or latter they will put the brakes on it and it will all be in the past.

Wow Stacy you messed up sounds like.Sort of like farting in a library.LOLOL
If you see her again make it right thats about all you can do at this point.
It is all about control and I have been screaming that mantra for years.
You let them take one freedom then the rest will get taken away too eventually.
Remember your responsibility to be ready for the fight never ends.
