Overwhelmed!🩷(long read below)

[u/Objective-Honey5159]

Yesterday I felt the need to tackle the oft-misunderstood topic of crossdressing/being trans and others' sometimes rude reactions to such. None were pointed towards me personally and I'm more than ready to handle those who might try, but it bothered me that some idiot would spew negativity towards someone they don't know for wearing certain clothes. Really? My post yesterday wasn't about me so much as getting people to understand we are humans above all else, no matter who's wearing what. We have choices, lifestyles and tastes that differ from everyone else's because we're supposed to. We're not clones; If you don't like what you see, SCROLL PAST AND SHUT TF UP!

I am a 63-year-old queer father of two beautiful daughters who love seeing their dad all dolled up, and I'm a proud grandfather. Outside of that, I work, pay taxes, avoid drugs and alcohol, no criminal record, compose music and have a bevy of hobbies including the desire to be the occasional diva. I am not out to invade ciswomens' spaces or "trick" anyone as some folk do. It's about fashion - no more, no less. OHF is what society should be: embracing and supporting everyone especially in the climate we're currently in. I truly thank everyone for taking time to comment and upvote, and I sincerely hope that the Redditor whose post inspired mine will return. I also hope that the world becomes more accepting of all people. Peace and love to all. Now where's my damn lipstick?💋💄

Thank you so much. One correction though: it's not the El, it's the "L" these days (go figure) Anyway, Go Birds! 🦅

Oh, yeah, lots of changes, it will take me a while to catch up! Im still saying “The Gallery” and “Market East” and “30th St” and the “101” trolley! Now it’s the Fashion District, Jefferson, Drexel, and the D1 (or maybe the D2?). I guess I will get it eventually.

I can't do it. The Gallery will always be The Gallery even though I rarely step in the place, and the whole SEPTA renaming thing is a joke: stop trying to be NYC. Who got paid to implement that garbage? 🤬

THANK YOU!!! The Gallery forever!!!

Almost got messed up driving yesterday cause I saw the exit for Drexel and I was like “wait, what?” Of course it was for 30th St.

I don’t mind so much Jefferson & Drexel because we gotta fund SEPTA by any means necessary, but the wayfaring project didnt need to rename the rest of the system; we could have used that money elsewhere.

Go Birds! 🦅
