bubblegum on your shoe

bubblegum on your shoe


annoying isn't it?

how annoying is it to you? does it ruin your day or do you scrape it off as best you can and forget it?

lately it seems that the stress level has gone through the roof for almost everyone i know. little things and big things happening to just about everyone and everyone seems to be reacting in a very supercharged way. now if you find out you have cancer and you get depressed, okay, got it....

but if find out your car needs a brake job and you lose your mind and start shouting at everyone in the office....wtf?

so is the cosmic overload switch permanently on? has someone dropped a bad karma cloud on earth? or what?

a story if i may.

we have a transgender female in the shelter. MA has a new law that a transgender person must be treated as the gender in which they identify without special consideration or distinction. this means for the shelter that a transgender female would sleep in the female dorm even if she was presurgical (still had a penis). the women in the dorm said no way. the TGF said it's my legal right. now, i am worried that the other 10 women will beat the crap out of her, OR she may not be true TGF and one of the women. so i call for clarification to the funder and the AGO. they say, she goes in the dorm.

in one hour of that placement, all 10 women are screaming at her and she is terrified. i offer her another space. she refuses. so now i have ten women who won't sleep in the dorm and one women sleeping in an 11 bed dorm.

the world is crazy. and this TGF, the next day she complains that she is lonely. and calls the AGO. and GLAD. and three local legislators.

i'm lonely too. i don't get to call the attorney general.

just scrape the damn bubblegum off your shoe and go to sleep.

jeesh.

You cannot conceive the many without the one.

Damn, WE, sometimes, no matter what you do...you just can't win. I don't envy your situation. I know it has to be stressful for you.

Geesh.

The TGF doesn't seem to be sensitive to the feelings (fears) of the other women. Isn't it interesting that in our society the squeaky wheel gets the grease--that the majority doesn't seem to have a say anymore.

Drama! It's all about the drama! Especially if the TGF is taking hormones. LOL scrape the gum off...lol good one.

There is a difference between a good BJ and a bad BJ.

wickedeasy replies on 10/14/2012 2:16 pm:
yup, young and only 3 months into her hormones so they were shooting out the top of her pretty little head. and she's political as hell so riding high on that horse. poor kid, she got slammed from the men and beaten badly one night outside the soup kitchen.

it's a tough situation and i wanted her safe. i wasn't so sure the women wouldn't mess her up too.....

I wonder if all your occupants would feel as vehemently about who was in the next warm bed in the middle of January? I tend to doubt it.

Equal rights doesn't mean special treatment. It just means that everyone gets the same access to the same amount of the world's shit as everybody else. It doesn't mean special accomodation, special education, special diet, or special anything. I've always loved Massachusetts for its liberal social policies, but unfortunatly many of the recipients of those services have developed a sense of entitlement and that REALLY pisses me off. Almost makes me want to vote Republican just so I can watch all the programs and regulations helping all those unfortunate souls disappear with the stroke of a pen....almost.

Course, then I remember that the fleas come with the dog.


wickedeasy replies on 10/14/2012 2:19 pm:
she wasn;t asking for anything she didn't deserve. just equal treatment. she even tried to talk to the women. it was pretty bad for her overall. we spent some time together and i understood her anger but 1 against 50 is tough. no matter which way she turned, she was going ot have a battle.

GLAD had housing for her pretty quickly so it wasn't a long stay...but the issue will not doubt recur.

Grrr! I hate chewing gum and bubblegum! I've lost two good suits in my time to the horrid, nasty, antisocial stuff.

That's my rant over!

I know someone who was recently "outed" as being transgender and I was alarmed by some of the responses by both men and women. Someone I know said he could only refer to her as "it," which seemed pretty harsh, but the classic was, "To think I've hugged and kissed her - and she's got a bigger dick than I have!"

A lot of people still get confused between sex, gender and sexuality, I guess.

wickedeasy replies on 10/14/2012 2:22 pm:
she was so young and this was so new to her. only three months into her hormones. it was very difficult to coach her on how to best handle situations. he knew she had the law but she didn't know how to win people over.....

i hope she's safe.

The transgender issues sure are starting to become tricky. We had a similar kerfuffle here, regarding a TGF who was in the county jail and wanted to be housed in the women's section. At least in jail, it isn't a common dorm situation.

I'm guessing your TGF wanted to be with the women not only because she identifies that way, but also because she knew she'd be harassed even worse if housed with the men.

Being lonely is sad, but at a certain level shouldn't someone just be grateful for having a roof over your head?


wickedeasy replies on 10/14/2012 2:32 pm:
in jail unless they've had the surgery, they're stuck....still got a penis you're a man. our MA law states your gender is how you emotionally identify. the problem there is that anyone can say theyidentify as a woman or a man.....which makes predatory actions possible.

she was clearly transitioning to female and i felt she should be on the female side but the women said that she ahd a penis and no way did they want her in the dorm. legal counsel said opt for safety so i offered her a space on the female side that was not in the dorm. technically, if no space had been availabel in the dorm she would have been matted on the floor which would have been less safe.

smarty - she was so young and so fragile, but the situation was ridiculous....ten women walking out of the dorm because of this one young lady....really???

Wicked, I'm ALWAYS happy to see you highlighted. So MY stress level went down a slight notch. Thank you for that.

As to your TGF and the AGO and GLAD, I've got to wonder just how much a little compassion would have covered (not to imply that YOU are not compassionate) on the part of both the TGF and the 10 other women.

I HOPE that as the election season winds to a close in a month, we will all breath a sigh of relief and get on with our lives for a bit (aren't I pollyanna?); somehow I don't think that this is the change that Honni is predicting.

Hugs to you, W.E. and keep in fighting the good fight as best you can.

wickedeasy replies on 10/14/2012 2:37 pm:
Chas...........we talked, we talked more. but the ladies in the dorm were like nutjobs......they walked out. this young girl was at this point so fragile and so tensed, and so angry, i was afraid she'd hurt herself or someone else. legal counel from GLAD finally said to move her to a SAFE room. which i did. then i get a call from teh attorney general.........and two weeks later a call from the feds in DC........

i know a lot of trannies.......from my years in HIV. but it's been a while since i had to deal with this issue in an environment where they were so vilified..........it was pretty bad

I suspect your TGF may have had an agenda since you offered her an alternative space and she refused. It's a pity that, in the name of political correctness, she gets to call the shots.

Elevate me...


wickedeasy replies on 10/14/2012 2:37 pm:
true, but those were her rights.

and i have to say, the ladies were downright cantankerous about it

I hear ya.
I have a client that is going to tear out a wall next to the copier because the company they lease it from won't let them move the freakin' copier when there's a paper jam (something about voiding the warranty). Get this...the copier is ON WHEELS! So all they'd have to do when there's a jam is move it to the left a little bit, clear the jam and move it back and nobody would be the wiser. But nooooo....the wall must come down.
Sigh.

Ya know, oui...

I might just grow me some tits... to go along with my "Cuban". It's got to be better than bein' a plain, "old" white man--especially if it'll get me into the women's dorm. They couldn't despise me any more than they do now--could they?

WE, we're gonna have to build special dorms and public restrooms for these transgenders and other perverts. It'll create some good payin' construction jobs for carpenters, electricians, sheetmetal workers and plumbers! And we do need more good payin' jobs! And when we get all of these special accommodations built, the LGBTers will be happy and the rest of us can get on with our lives without having to deal with their drama! Everything will be wonderful and beautiful .... except for the idiots who dispose of their chewin' gum on public sidewalks and other surfaces designed to carry pedestrians!

muti...first she is not a pervert. but i'm digging the rest of your rationale...........may be a damn good sell for the republican job makers......

Transgendered people are still so feared. Even if she had already had her surgery, she may identify as a gay woman, which blows people's minds to no end. So, the issue of sexual desire and any tendencies towards sexual predation are entirely separate from whatever is between her legs.

Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety. Other women cloy
The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry
Where most she satisfies. For vilest things
Become themselves in her, that the holy priests
Bless her when she is riggish. ~~ from Antony & Cleopatra
