I recently moved back home to Louisiana. I have had a lil trouble adjusting to New Orleans post katrina. It is so boring over here at times. There is nothing really to do over here. Life is different than what it was before the storm. There are a lot more crackheads. Shopping is limited. Not every store has opened back up. The nearest walmart is 30 minutes away The nightlife scene over here is ok. So to say the least I have been bored and going stir crazy.So in an effort to save my sanity and my waistline I got myself a job. Not looking to do anything too complicated I became a hostess at a restaurant. I have now been employed for three months. It is a sweet and sour kind of deal. I have learned I can function in the real world and It is possible to be somewhat normal. The attention is overwhelming. The male attention is really quite flattering. Like in any restaurant we have a few distinctive homos Whom I love and get along very well with. So eventually in a hush hush kind of way Everyone knew I was transgendered. They were all still very polite and the attention never diminished. But I find that for the simplest of things they have to check up on me simple lil rotation stuff. They treat me like I am mentally defective but in a polite way. I find it humorous because some of these folks cant spell mental defective and here they are thinking that I am retarded. I am different not retarded is my point. I dont see how a few surgical enhancements affected my intelligence at all. I came into the situation with an open mind and learned that people think that trannies are mentally challenged. Which leaves me with 2 thoughts I still get a lot of sexual advances with them thinking I am retarded and all How many of you would fuck a retard? :lol: :lol: ( I just joking about that) but seriously does anyone else share this same view? Do people really perceive transgendered woman to be retarded?
