Sometimes I gotta take a break. THis is one of them.
Based on a really good convo going on under The Hardest way, I sorta noticed I’ve got no recent pics of me available, and so, without further ado, here’s good, bad, and indifferent:
Back in December, right after I got back from TN. The other gal is one of my trans daughters (calls me stepmom, lol).
My general Profile pic on FB and other places, taken from the Nashville trip.
Updated ID card, just before I went to DC. Yes, that’s my ID. Apparently they insist I pay traffic fines for driving really fast, driving while uninsured, driving an unregistered vehicle, driving while black, and whatever else they threw at me back when (2002, I think) before I am allowed to legally drive again.
Smart people.
DC, on a bad day, lol. (This is the bad one)
Just after I got back from DC, late May.
My hair color changes often – I go between browns and blondes and reds, short and long, etc, because I just sorta do that.
nope, nothing deep tonight. Tonight I am more or less chilling out.

shameless advertising … a transgender hallmark
Advertising, leigh?
For shame, woman! Can’t you tell bragging when you see it?
When you got it, flaunt it
Pictures are more ego-driven than ‘transgender’ driven. And a blog is the hallmark of an ego out of control, Leigh. Why lie?
In this matter, you are in fact superior to Dys and i.
Superior? .. I won’t go there. Dyss looks good from her pics, as do you from yours. Showing her age a bit but then ain’t we all… but yeah bragging rights is ok to
Oh ow! Stingies!
Showin’ my age a bit, indeed! Ya’ll cuttin’ deep there, Leigh
Then again, maybe I do need to invest in some regenerist and a little botox — would help with the crows feet and, of course, my hard earned bitch lines…
Yeah well all that testosterone has a way of aging a woman .. Just look at Sandeen!
Never seen without a hat .. can you say male pattern baldness?
I have more hair on my head now than when I was a teenager .. and it’s all mine
Those who say grs isn’t necessary… tell me about that when you hit 50
See, now you’ve gone from playful to rude.
Why cut people down like that? If people wrong you by their behavior, then attack their behavior. It lessen yourself and destroy any credibility by viciously attacking someone like that.
Your house is a ghetto shack. Your kids are fucking ugly. Haha, you’re going bald and i’m not.
Seriously?
My crying jags over not being able to afford surgery right now are about twice a week. i’m pretty sure there are other T that feel the same way.
Come on, Leigh. Evolve. You can be better then that.
yes that was rude .. I apologise.
Sorry for being quiet — I’ve been sucked into some sort of weird dramaland among the local cisGLB activists who are displaying some of the worst of the fabled bad habits.
And I have little patience for it.
I suspect my run for office will be opposed by the major LGB- groups here, lol. Especially given the crap they gave someone like Marion Barry (from champion to crack addict in one vote, when the truth is he’s both.).
Thank you for that, Leigh.
One thing about activism: its not merely a put on in my case when I say I don’t want to do this. I hate playing this sort of nasty politics because I only know one way to play it, and it usually costs me friends because I tend to go way over the line (hence my posting this here).
I was asked to do this. I said no. I was asked again. I said no. I was asked a third time, and I said ok, but I do it on my terms. And now they are seeing why I said no, lol.
Its times like this when I’m glad to have someone who has viewpoints both different and similar to my own — yeah, I spar like mad, and I’m pretty brutal, but I’d rather have it than not. Its why Leigh is welcome to post here. Its why I generally stay away from ENS after having seriously crapped in susan’s pond and been informed very clearly I wasn’t welcome. I posted there that last time only because I felt a need to express that as hard as I am on her, I do give a damn, even if she thinks I’m a psychopath (which I am, so its cool).
She can’t give up. If she was out, I’d ask her to be on my committee next year. Seriously.
IN any case, I’m about to introduce a style of doing things that’s definitely not approved of by the people who “count” locally. And as a result, suffer the consequences of doing so.
When you have nothing to lose, you have everything to gain.
