NYC is having that weird in-between Spring weather where it's sunny and warm and then cold and windy and rainy and then something else all in one day.

Well, this English lady is wearing skinny jeans and a teal coloured seventies style smock top :o)

Interesting- one friend on my flist is an African American trans woman, but I don't know what experience she's had of the situations you mention.

Sadly and as you know from my own experiences with academics researching teh tranz, not all such people respect one's experience and day to day existence :o/

Skinny jeans an a smock top. I wear that too!

Cotton tights FTW! :high fives:

And wool is excellent in foggy weather. It's surprisingly water-resistant in rain, snow, fog, etc.

Having another trip down NYC memory lane, eh?

Exactement!

In my entire life I only met one trans woman who was in the sex trade and she had a degree and was a concert standard pianist- it mostly wasn't sex at all but lonely blokes wanting an intelligent woman to talk to and be with for a spell which says an awful lot about present day society imo :o/

It is one of my life's ambitions to be able to kick a red top journo in the balls (although that might be difficult in the case of Julie Bindel :o)

Hmmm. We could always stuff her full of estrogen-laden foods and then knock her in the boobs.

Sorry, I'm feeling particularly sinister this morning.

[cmcmck]

Eek! That's evil that is, especially when I remember how tender things were up there on the huge pre op doses of oestrogen :oS

[gina_r_snape]

Exactly.
