Aquarium, zoo, rock climbing and short movie review.

For most people, Monday represents the beginning of the week and it usually comes charged with routines, driving, working, school and errands.

Interesting day for sure. Lots of different stuff to absorb. That Raquela quote about wanting to be screwed by guys is not rare among transgender women I have noticed. There are people that really believe that. Just makes you wonder why we all want to change. I guess we all have our own reasons for transitioning.

But I don't consider myself a victim is just what I got to experience and I guess now is my time. Yes, I've heard so many different motives to transition from many people. Some are personal, others are interpersonal and others are just down right physical. We shouldn't judge others by their reason to transition but we should indeed try to stop transphobia and misogyny even if it's internalized within our community.

NO! Is not that cutiecutiecutie :X It just means that we would have to meet later in the afternoon rather than early in the day :) Hee I don't know how long it's going to take me but i wanna be badass like the couple that were bouldering that day hee. That means that I would probably have to loose 20 pounds :P

It sounds like an awesome day - and a really interesting movie. It's always good when stuff makes you think it over!

:) yeah it was a nice day with cutie! I used to be the kind of person that would avoid watching things that I don't agree or like but now I try to expose myself to challenging my own beliefs because there were occasions in the past where I had been wrong about things so. Being critical of others is just as important as checking your own stance on issues.
