Today in my workplace, a conversation with a coworker somehow turned into a comment about transgendered people. This person commented on how messed up those people are. Despite my comments his mind was closed. It eventually turned into the same commentary on gays.
This person is somewhat religious and is a very black and white kind of guy. The whole conversation angered me and I accused him of being a very narrow minded person but it was all a waste of time. There would be no change in this persons mind. He is actually a good friend/coworker and of course has no idea about me. I wonder what would happen if he new I crossdressed.
Later in the day, my wife saw my canvas crossbody bag hanging inside the house. She got pissed that it was there and accused me of using it this past weekend. It is not fem looking at all.
My point? I am getting somewhat pissed at being thought of as abnormal, be it a coworker or spouse. The lack of acceptance is pissing me off, and I have none nothing but support for these people. Sometimes I just want to scream. I treat my wife like a queen and I get treated like the plague. I need to keep it all together, but sometimes I wonder if I should just give it up.
