I'm prepping for a long visit with friends in early June, I was told that due to my "figure problem" they were figuring that hot tub wasn't their standard clothing optional setting -
So I went shopping for a swim mini / board shorts & and a tankini top a couple of days ago, I was in shorts (I keep my legs waxed), a t shirt, hoodie, head scarf, posts in my ears...but not full war paint.
I'm looking in one rack and hear hey Susie - check the homo looking at bikinis
I look over and there is a slovenly, morbidly obese woman, standing next to a slightly more slovenly, somewhat heavier woman who is chortling.
I've had it - so I stand up and say actually I'm transgendered, not gay, and what exactly does my life cost you - ten cents, a quarter?
she goes huh? ( I suspect she wanted me to back off or run for it )
I said does my life affect you in any way
She says You look ridiculous and makes some comment about my brows looking better than hers (very true )
The other women shopping in the section have noticed the disagreement, and sort of moved away from the path of me and the troll
Like I said I've had it, I look and say Oh wow, Sweetie, your right - Try (name of nail spa) Nails, on street address, ask for Mei she's not in on Tuesday - she'll fix your brows right up
Several women laugh, the troll turns purple and storms off with her companion.
I keep shopping having entered the seventh circle of hell labeled womens swimwear
