Many people know from a few hilarious blogs I posted a year ago that I work as a papergirl. The only problem is, most people there don't know that I'm a girl.

The problem, if you can call it that, is that there really isn't a need to come out as anything where I work. See, I show up, pick up a few bundles of papers and sometimes roll them at the center and leave (some days I thrown them in the car and roll and bag them while I drive and say to damn with the little furry bunny rabbits that get in my way). There is limited interaction with people and if I wanted there to be, there could be absolutely no interaction with others. Also, since newspaper ink is messy and the job is sweaty, I see no need to ruin a nice dress and often go in a pair of shorts and a tee.

However, I have been coming out slowly. The first person was my roommate, but that was unavoidable. The second person was an f2m that works there. He's okay, but a bit young and not really my speed. Then I came out to his girlfriend (if he didn't out me already). I mentioned to one what my new name was and she laughed and still calls me Keith (ICK!!!). About two months ago I came out to another lady named Lilly. Her son is gay, and I guess that made approaching her easier. I told her about my books, she bought one.

One day Lilly came in and said "I really should beat your ass." I was shocked. She was evidently upset over my difference between the photo I have up on Amazon and how I show up at work. She said I looked gorgeous in the photo but always slum it at work. When I pointed out that she slummed it at work too, we had a good laugh. But it goes to show that a few people with vision problems find me attractive.

Then two days ago I came out to two other people. A mother and daughter (both adults). I really came out to the mother. I showed her my picture and she was amazed that it was me and was in awe. That makes me feel good. She was all like "Is that you?!?!" and I'm like "Ahuh." And she was all like "WOW!" So that makes another person who thinks I make an attractive woman.

There's also Felix, but he's my boyfriend and is required by law to tell me I'm sexy or he won't get the sex part out of me (LOL). I think I can make a passable woman, still need to shade 100s of pounds though. But I wanted to share some nice news before I get hit with a meteor or bit by a radioactive spider or something.

Have a good day. I should be posting something new in a month or so. I'm 140k words on a new book and the end is at least more than a figment of my imagination. This is going to be my most involved TG book yet and it is really going to take TG fiction in a new direction. My hope is that others take my lead and join me on my never ending quest to prove to the world just how awesome being trans is and how non-pervy we are as a group. (I'm an executive transsexual, to paraphrase eddie izzard.)

Being bitten

Extravagance's picture

by a radioactive spider never did Peter Parker any harm. You already have great responsibility. = )

You must have a really rough paper round...
