My Wednesday


My Fair Lady Dept.

Quarantined, I am watching the first season of The Sopranos on HBO. Being a late adopter, I missed the first year and a half of the series when it was originally broadcast back in 1999, so these episodes are new to me.

I also watched “NYC Subway Front Window View - The Manhattan-Bound 7 Express Line” on YouTube. Basically, this subway line travels between Flushing, Queens and Manhattan passing by the site of the 1964-65 World’s Fair.

It is very nostalgic trip for me because we took this line the first time my family visited the Fair in 1964. It is also a reminder that I wanted to revisit the site en femme for a photoshoot at the Unisphere and other remnants of the Fair. Maybe I will be able to pull that off in the fall or next spring after things return to normal.

My IMPOTUS Dept.

I received an email that opened with “WHY...are you biased against the President?”

Besides being intellectually and psychologically unfit for the job, IMPOTUS has waged a nonstop onslaught against the rights of trans people since the day he took office.

There are too many battles and skirmishes in Trump’s War on Transgenders to enumerate here. The National Center for Transgender Equality keeps track of such things and you can view the complete list here.

Anyway, for the life of me, I cannot understand how any trans person can support someone who is working hard to limit and/or eliminate their human rights.

My response to “WHY...are you biased against the President?” is “WHY ...are you not biased against the President?”

I love this photo. Looks like a classroom, so I assume it is some kind of gender switch event that middle and high schools sponsor on occasion. Typically, the boys and girls crossdress to emulate middle and high school girls and boys, but in this case, the femulators look like they are emulating adult  women, perhaps their teachers!

  1. If IMPOTUS was simply biased against trans people, he would fall into a pretty large population. As despicable as his stance towards trans people is, add to that his aversion for the truth, the propensity to lie over and over again, failure to admit his many mistakes and continually putting himself above our country, then how can anyone actually defend him?

  2. I grew up walking distance from the Worlds Fair/Shea Stadium and went to high school in The Bronx.... My favourite vantage point for the ride was looking out the front window.

  3. In Germany it is very common, to have a theme week ("Mottowoche") within the last regular week of education before the final tests in High School for the "certificate of general qualification for university entrance"(short: "Abitur"). The pupils (18-20 yrs old) show up in fancy dresses (i.e. "Heroes of the childhood"; "Formal dresses"; "Pimps&Prositutes"... and sometimes also genderchange ("Geschlechtertausch").

    Regarding your lunatic president: may God be with you!

  4. The "boys" in this picture are enjoying this way too much to be a one-time happening.
