Day 26 - Do you feel comfortable
answering questions about being trans if say your
teacher/friend/stranger asked you
Saturday 27th April
I'm totally at ease with answering
questions about being trans. I said this in the letter that was read
to my colleagues when they found out. When I've met up with friends
and they've asked me questions I've answered them as honestly as I
can. It does depend on the particular question and who is asking it
though. I'd feel uncomfortable discussing anything related to my
sexuality unless it was with a close friend. Other than that there's
not really anything I'd feel awkward discussing.
In fact in a couple of weeks I've
agreed to do a 10 minute talk as part of a “Out at Work” event
being organised by the LGBT society at one of the local universities.
I know that quite a few people have a horrendous time when it comes
to being trans at work. I haven't had that experience so I thought it
would be good to have that put across.
As soon as I've done it I'll post about
it.
Day 27 - What goals do you have
Sunday 28th April
My goals for this year are mainly
sport, domestic and burlesque based. There are a couple that are
trans related. The colour scheme is black for things I've not
started, pink for those that are in progress and green for the ones
that I've completed. Hopefully by the end of the year they'll all be
green or pink.

My longer term goals are mainly
burlesque related which are mainly to have performed the routines
that I've been working on because I doubt that I'll perform all of
the routines this year. Beyond that I'm looking at sport related ones
which are:
2014 – Complete John O' Groats to
Land's End bike ride.
2015 – Complete a 10km open water
swim, thinking about doing the Dark 10K.
2017 – Complete the Marathon De
Sables.
As you can see I'm hell bent on doing
ridiculously stupid length endurance events. My body isn't designed
for short, sprint type events but plodding on over longer distances
is something that it manages to do without too much physical
difficulties.
The only real trans linked goal I have
other than the ones that I've listed is to have my GRS at the end of
2014, or at least to be in the process of obtaining it.
