I have a friend who is not necesarily close but we talk periodically and I like her well enough. Anyway we were talking about our lives and catching up when I decided to tell her something that I thought was kinda cool but freaky.
One of my friends (a person with whom I’ve not been in contact in about 6 years) is a transexual. Well, it’s not a full blown job, she’s still got her toolbox, if you will…anyway, this friend is now one of the top porn stars…for trannies.
While I understand that it’s not necesarily something to be proud of, I was really shocked at my friend’s reaction when I told her.
“TMI. Eeeew! How could you know someone like that?”
Now, I didn’t describe the sex acts to her and quite frankly, I am too immature to even watch porn, so I couldn’t understand her reaction.
What does she mean ’someone like that’?
The porn star was someone I’d known when I lived in California. She’s absolutely breathtakingly beautiful with a gorgeous figure. She used my breasts for her template and thankfully didn’t opt for their enormity. I don’t know. I thought she was funny and sweet and never really thought about her sex life or her sex organs. I mean, one of my friends even knew her when she was called John. She’s a great gal and was always supportive of my dreams and endeavors–she even brought some of her dates to my shows.
So, when I heard, ‘Too much information’ I was floored. Am I an idiot for being friends with someone who is successful? OR am I an idiot for being friends with someone so narrowminded that she’s repulsed by another human being?
I didn’t want to mention this, but the repulsed individual was something of a penis holster back in school and now she’s Mother Teresa. TMI, inDEED.
Go figure. As my Mom would say…Some people’s children.
Some people just fear the unknown I guess. Has the other friend ever known a transexual?
I would wager that she has, but hasn’t known that the woman was a tranny. I am in the entertainment biz. There are always different folks in my life and she’s met most of them at one time or another.
She’s just a tight arse.
“Those people” is a phrase that is NOT welcome in my life.
eh…you’re so understanding, sassafrass…not me…not today. heh.
Aww sweetie, I was raised to treat everyone like I would like to be treated. I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt unless otherwise.
Me too, which is why it really chapped my butt.
You know, maybe that’s why she’s what I consider a fringe friend– you know, someone you just call every now and again…but you don’t keep in close contact.
Maybe it’s just time to cut her loose also.
No negativity in my life…especially if it ain’t my doing.
I’m more shocked that people can still be so old paradigm. As more and more of the new surfaces, I guess, those who opt to hold on to the old are in a panic. Despite them, life moves on and new developments continue to arise.
Hey, thanks for commenting Manila Mom.
I am usually not shocked by human behavior. I am sometimes saddened, but I choose happiness.
It’s her loss.
