It is 2:45 and I am on my way to the Las Vegas airport after the first major trade conference that I attended AS A TRANNY!!!

The first day : I survived I was so goddamned nervous on the convention floor, my industry is 97% men, and a large percentage of those are ex cop or ex military or wanna be Elon tech bros , so I let my boss take the lead in the engagements, and didn’t ask too many questions, especially because it’s SO LOUD AND HARD TO SPEAK OVER THE DIN WITHOUT ACTIVATING MY GROSS VOICE

The second day: I hit my stride , I hadn’t exploded the first day into a million pieces and so I bucked myself up, and actually hit the floor before my boss Anne began getting leads and setting up meetings

The Third Day: I THRIVED

I was feeling more and more confident (and not just because Vegas is filled with a lot of sad old men who hit on me in flattering ways…) I began telling myself "bitch this is not about your feelings, this is about identifying new and emerging tech, and if you’re a little wilting Lilly what does that say about all trams women to these fucks? Most of these chuds have ever set a trans woman in their life, and your job is to ask the type of questions that make them call their engineers over, and to do it with charm, with grace, and poise, you’re a fucking woman now - we’ve ALWAYS had to do the same dance these men do but backwards and in high heels "

And not only did I find EXACTLY the hardware solutions I set out to, I got a request from a smaller but not inconsequential manufacturer of low voltage power supply controller hardware to send my CV!!!¡

I also had so many wonderful experiences with women, there is a special kind of interaction in that space where it’s like “Okay, can we talk alone as an excuse to take a breather from the relentless onslaught of half drunk divorcee men high on their own expense amounts?!?”

☺️

I AM 37 years old, I didn’t begin HRT until 36, but I’ve always been a woman, and so have all of you

DO NOT GIVE UP

NEVER GIVE UP

CHASE YOUR HAPPINESS DOWN AND SINK YOUR TEETH INTO ITS NECK TO DRINK DEEPLY OF ITS BLOOD SO THAT YOU MAY THRIVE

I love you all ❤️♥️💙💕🧡💚💓💟🤍🤎🩷🩵🤍🩷🩵🤍🩷🩵🤍🩷
