Sorta funny I thought I'd share.

I just thought I'd share this. Now I've been singing and playing guitar around my area for the past year but tonight I decided to try something different. I decided to try my hand at stand up, because in my transition there has been some funny instances happen. While I'm not nervous singing and playing guitar at all anymore, tonight I was terrified, I honestly was nervous enough I forgot about 5 minutes of material I had planned but everyone thought it was hilarious anyway. I hope you all get a good giggle at this, I figure it never hurts to share a bit of laughter. The language is mostly clean, being a mechanic and a Navy veteran I still have to try to censor myself a bit but this is pretty tame for me.

Never, ever, never ever, ever out yourself .

It did sound like a diverse crowd in that bar, but after being fully out since 2004, I've come to the conclusion that outing myself is just self flagellation, and I finally got sick of hurting myself. It is none of their effing business anyhow and most folk actually do not want to know.

I just got done with 2 weeks of a Saudi man living at my apartment, and you can bet that we never talked of it. In my Hijab, I doubt that he even thought of it. But, I sure got frightened at times.

So, be your own best friend and don't tell. ANYONE.

I understand totally.

I understand your feelings about this but for the moment I live openly transgender. For a few reasons, but the most important one for me is that I try to be an educator. I have been invited to speak at churches and a couple of schools to help bring trans awareness and be a visible face in my area.

The bar and grill where I perform open mic's at is an LGBT establishment and for a while I worked there as a bouncer/barback as a second job.

There may be a day when I want to quit talking to groups and such and then I might try to blend in, well as much as a large 6ft tall gal can. For now though, I'm okay living openly about it.

I know I’m weird. The fact that I’m trans is probably one of the more normal things about me.
