Coffee Shop Posting!

*I posted this earlier elsewhere and forgot to cross-post it here. Things have been quiet anyhow, I've just had a good day, so I wanted to yay about it.*


I've been shopping today. Charity shops specifically, I've hit ten (my hand hurts now... Bu boom tish) and picked up quite a few things.

It not as much fun going on my own, but I could go at my own pace at least.

I had a doctors appointment this morning, before I came out shopping. I decided to walk into town from the doctors, which was a thing for me; I used to walk from place to place a lot, but haven't done so much since beginning my transition; I just don't; the place where I live scares me, and I just don't like to be out. It's a shame really, because I do my best meandering thinking while walking out and about. I miss being outdoors and walking. It was quiet and peaceful; I needed it. My feet however will not forgive me for a little while, I decided to do it impulsively, so the boots I'm wearing weren't chosen for their longer walk comfort...

It's weird how people react to trans-people, or more specifically: me. One of the receptionists at the doctors surgery referred to me as a gentleman while passing me onto a colleague (it was busy and she was needed elsewhere,) I was hurt, but I didn't say anything. It got me thinking about why I didn't fight my corner (so to speak, I wasn't about to punch a receptionist, very un-ladylike) and I had my depression on my mind, and how I actually shy away from strangers all the time. I am like electricity, in that I always take the path of least resistance (if I understand electrical theory correctly). I don't like conflict or to cause a fuss. I will often concede in word, even if I disagree strongly.

There was this other guy in one shop, who wanted my hair. At first he thought I was like a 70's rocker or some such, but I identified myself as transsexual. He referred to me as 'mate' the whole time, but it was more out of respect than to cause offense.

I had other random thoughts, which were interesting and I thought I'd like to share, but I've lost them now, which is a shame. Oh well.

It's snowing now. I like the snow.

I think I'm going to go to a couple more charity shops. I am really liking the day-pass I got to use any and all public transport. I didn't pay for this one I'm using today, but I think for a day like this it's really worth getting one.

Anyway: time to go!

Hope you're all having a good day too!
