New slim jim commercials are insulting to me
Maybe I'm overly sensitive sometimes, but these new ads seem to be making consumers think there's something wrong with being androgynous, or anything less than being a scruffy faced overweight neanderthal (then again we are talking about a company that sells dehydrated spicy mystery meat, so why beat a dead horse). Saying things like "He's on a swan boat, gross!" Anyway, see for yourself
Transgender 6-year-old wins civil rights case to use girls' bathroom
Always love reading positive stories like this
http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/06/23/19105304-transgender-6-year-old-wins-civil-rights-case-to-use-girls-bathroom?lite
There's a lot of ignorant comments (as I would expect). Everything from
1. "Why hasn't this been an issue until now?" to
2. "Why don't they make a bathroom for other" to
3. "Why didn't the parents give her a sex change then?"
1. It has always been an issue, it's parents like these that are fighting for her rights. Would you rather the other students see a boy dressed like a girl go into the boys room?
2. Because that's just inhumane and cruel. How about we bring back segregation and make black people use a separate bathroom and water fountain while we're at it?
3. Because a 6 year old can't make that decision on her own. Yes, he is showing very strong signs that she wants to grow up to be a girl, but what if he turns 12 and grows out of it? I've heard stories of hermaphrodites that sue their parents because they chose a gender for them rather than letting them choose on their own.

Gay no longer cured?
The official Ministry that has been changing gays to heterosexuals (sure) for the last 37 years have thrown in the towel. They have changed their mind about their mission, even though the bible states that it's a Sin. Perhaps there is hope for society afterall

Driver's license facial recognition - already in place in 42 states
Thought this was interesting, only because the photo they are using as an example is clearly someone that has had many disguises over the years, including crossdressing as a woman

dreams and drabble
So I don't know about other crossdreamers, but I have the tendency to fantasize before I fall asleep at night. For some reason I find it comforting. Of course this also sometimes leads to dreams that entail a transgender topic (perhaps this is another reason I do it). A few nights ago I was at some outdoor mall, and it was my birthday. I remember there was some crossdress makeover place that my wife took me to, and right next door was a bicycle shop. I remember my wife saying "woah, you're in trouble, a makeover salon and a bike store next to each other?" Then I remember walking down the mall aisle, feeling very comfortable even though I was dressed up. It wasn't long before I took my heels off and was walking barefoot. The dream sort of drifted into an episode of "Restaurant Impossible", where I was walking through a restaurant kitchen and seeing rats and bacteria hidden behind prep tables. Then I was home watching that episode, and I saw myself walking by (in drag) and heard someone comment "That (insert my real last name) is a real slut". I remember feeling embarrassed that not only someone recognized me, but called me such a name.
Woke up, fell back asleep. This time I was in my childhood home in my bedroom, my brother was in his room (he's no longer of this earth), and suddenly Cindy crawford walks in. My brother leaves, and I think I have a shot with her, so I invite her into my bed. She complies after I practically beg her, and once in bed she comments "I don't think this is a good idea". I don't know what to make of this dream? Was Cindy Crawford his girlfriend and she didn't think cheating was a good idea? Or was she implying that hetero sex wasn't a good idea (that there's some deeper desire that I haven't discovered in myself?)
Then the other day at work, someone mentioned that one of our co-workers is in a local metal band. Someone who is pretty high up and very much a suit sort of person. They were sort of teasing him a little, and one person just couldn't grasp that he had this other side to him. Her reaction was similar when I showed them a photo of when I still had long hair (my hair is short), and she couldn't believe it. If something so common and unshocking as those things can make them react, makes me wonder what they would say if they knew that I crossdress. I'm willing to bet everyone has quite a few skeletons in their closets, they just choose to keep the doors closed because they don't want to be judged

Like the lyrics - heart attack
Basically the song seems to be about a tomboy that is willing to be more girly for a guy she finds attractive, but I like the lyrics of her describing it
"Make me want to act like a girl, paint my nails and wear high heels"
"Make me want to act like a girl, paint my nails and wear perfume for you"
"Make me want to act like a girl, paint my nails and wear high heels"
"Make me want to act like a girl, paint my nails and wear perfume for you"
