Heh, thanks for asking! This place had some little plates of birdseed stashed inside a box with a slot to donate a few coins. As soon as I pulled out some birdseed, the pigeons landed all over me, on my hair, arms, shoulders, hands. They were treating me like a tree that had sprouted seeds, more interested in pecking at each other than in me! It was an amazing experience to be covered in birds for a minute. Totally worth the slightly scratched arms.
it does seem a little easier to "masc up” than it is to “femme down. “ shucks, even those phrases are implying one gender is better than the other 😬 Even getting Dolled Up seems artificial, but that’s just how i exist on a daily basis, now.
i haven’t traveled yet, and i’m white, however i just met a Black doll and she has had a VERY rough go during her transition in this same town. where i make acquaintances everywhere i go, she seems to be greeted with disdain, tho i feel she “passes “ better than i do.
perhaps it’s just racism reading its ugly head in this majority-white town, but it’s not fair. i want all trans folks to feel accepted the way i am. i’m extremely lucky and not sure how to pass that on to others 🤷♀️
The people need to know why those pigeons are fascinated with you!
