So I wanted to share with you gals an interesting thing that happened to me recently. I was kind of discriminated against ( I think..you let ME know ) either way I found it interesting.
..I decided for the summer it would be nice to rent a little farm house, cabin, or cottage up in the mountains in upstate New York for a Month and take a nice long holiday. Have some privacy, and some quality ME time. So I posted an Ad on craigslist ( in the rentals wanted section) stating I was a Graphic Artist looking for a place to " work" for a month. ( Those that know me know that that is also the truth) ..one of the responses I got back from my ad included these questions..
Tell me more about you please
Pets?
Kids?
Age?
Male / Female?
Photos?
Thanks!
hmmm....ok. Male / Female???? ..since I am ONLY looking for a summer rental I figured this would be a good time to push the envelope a bit and do some experimenting and see what would happen if I told this person I was a crossdresser. Would I get a response? Or would they run to the hills? So I told them I was a bit of both, a male who also dresses as a woman. I also included a photo of myself as a girl ( The one inside my profile) Now at this point im curious to see if I am going to get a response..I figured why not be honest right? Whats the worst that can happen? I dont get this 1 cottage? It is not the end of the world...but lets just SEE what he says lets SEE how he reacts...is he cool with it? Needless to say its been 24 hours and I have not heard back...something tells me I'm not going to. I like to push buttons, and limits, and I was curious....its not the end of the world at all....but it lets me know how far we ALL have to go to be treated as equals. Just wanted to share my thoughts .
