Little Fairy...

While talking to a trans friend of mine the other day on the phone, I paused to look at my schedule to try to make a plan with him. While I was checking my calendar, he chimed in with:

"Um, you know you sound really gay now, right?"

How does one respond to that? No, I wasn't aware that I sound gay. What exactly does that mean? Am I s'posed to butch it up now>

Well, okay ~ I did find myself accidentally telling a room full of burly bearded punk dudes that something was cute. And I wasn't referring to some hott girl. Was that a faux-pas? (Is saying "faux-pas" a faux-pas, if I don't wanna sound gay? Sheesh! This is tough...)

I asked a friend to take a photo of a vintage "Fairy Soap" ad that was similar to the vintage Fairy Soap ads I have in my bathroom back in DC. Okay, so maybe I am a big flamer.

But how can I read as gay? I like to lift weights, have 8 million skin care & hair care products, and my favorite kind of underwear is 2xist. I'm totally a "man's man." You know, a tough exterior, yet funny, and attentive. Just like Rock Hudson.


What?


My therapist once told me that I reminded her of the male leads from the movie musicals of the 1950s. She said that I had a strong sense of myself, without being over bearing, was charming, but not audacious, and dapper. They were all straight right?

I mean, sure ~ I've hooked up with a few gay guys in my day. But who hasn't? And sure, I've day dreamed about being a house boy to some ridiculously wealthy, hott older gentleman, but doesn't everyone? And well, I've begun a business plan to chart the path to becoming a gay porn mogul, but it's not "my scene..."

Huh, when you look at the sum total, it looks like I should throw in the hetero towel. I'm trading in my aggro pit bull, for a neurotic yorkie named Dante, and quiting the pet care biz to start my own interior decorating firm. What other stereotypes can I sarcastically add to the mix?

Can't I just like both boys and girls, and sound how ever the fuck I sound? Jeez...
