So…does anyone like to read happy posts? Sometimes I wonder if posts about things going well and the adventures that go with it are not as interesting or read as much as the posts about the struggles of transition. In my case, transition has been pretty straight forward so far, almost like a non-event. That makes me wonder if I have much to offer the trans community in my posts. I’d actually rather talk about the fun we have with our hobbies than to talk about going to the bank as Amber and being treated like any other customer, what’s so interesting about that? Nobody ever shows up with torches and pitchforks, it’s a non event, even going to Home Depot as Amber and dealing with a cashier that has known the old guy for 15 years was a non-event, no reaction at all, just normal customer service. Nothing to see here folks, just life happening. Does anybody really want to hear about stuff like that?
