The Tranny Mafia
10:51 p.m. -- 2008-06-20

Let me tell you about the Tranny Mafia. That's just my term for a group of well-meaning people who have - without malice, I'm sure - shaped the trannyscape that exists today. In other words, if you want to dress like a girl, that's fine by them... but you have to do it their way.

For starters, you're going to have to be a liberal, if not an outright leftie. You're going to have to be incredibly laid back on a broad range of issues. For some reason, it seems, society (or this society) seems to associate being a socialist with being a girl.

Transgendered people can be incredibly sexist, because they pursue stereotypes. More on that in a later blog, I think.

Anyway, god forbid that a 't*girl' should be against free-for-all immigration, or think that Saddam Hussein needed a good kicking.

As a tranny, you're going to have to be gay-friendly, too. Hey, they let us in their clubs! Why shouldn't we be friendly? Well... just one observation. Remember in my last post I said that "you're not a transvestite" because that's just one facet of your personality? Beware of my friend Mr. X, for whom being gay is everything. No sports, no hobbies, no opinions, no conversation that doesn't centre upon being a gay. All such mono-maniacs are boring, and that's not me being homophobic. He'd be dreadful if he was talking about stamp collecting instead.

Although of course, he can't possibly have any failings: if you don't like him, you're homophobic. Ah well. Can't win them all.

So your nights out often consist of thumping music and sweaty gay men dancing in their underwear. Having fun yet? I'm not. And try explaining exactly why you like this particular activity, when your girlfriend asks. Hmm!

To the Tranny Mafia (and their leader, the Fairy Godfather), this is great R&R. Never mind that almost all transvestites are straight. Never mind that those size 8's you crammed your feet into cut off the blood suppply four hours ago, it's four in the morning, you've sweated off most of your makeup and your wig looks like a haystack... this is a Good Night Out.

Sorry, girls... some of those people you look down upon for never coming out of the closet probably just don't like the club scene.
