The Aging Trans......

  I’ve been partying in a frock in Manchester for over twenty years, ‘man and boy’ - so to speak. In my younger days, the outfits were tiny, sometimes an outrageous, viscious tuck and a leotard, very often sticking to the real Manchester girls ‘two items of clothing rule’ - a minidress and panties. Now I’m a lot older and wiser - and wider. Nights out are not so much dressing as transforming into a stuffed and padded sofa.

   

  One things not changed much in those twenty years - up to ten pints and as many bars as I can manage on a night out in a dress. I’m getting on a bit now though and still up for it BUT the years are catching up with me. I can’t go on going out in a frock, getting bladdered and suffering, sometimes for days afterwards. My record is a three day hangover!

   

  So whats an old trans to do? I’ll always be out, always be up for it BUT there has to be more to being a ‘woman’ than partying? Looking at young real girls these days, they party just as wildly as young lads. What will happen as they age, what will they do?

   

  And its all tied up with WHY I dress too. I don’t dress up for sex. I don’t dress up to drink myself senseless. I dress up because it feels right, I LOVE the attention and its me.

   

  So I don’t need to dress just to get wasted. I don’t want to sit at home in a dress.

   

  WHAT DOES THE AGING TRANS DO?
