TALES OF A CROSSDRESSER: SCOTUS, Caitlyn, Kristy and Stonewall

The red cloudless sunrise promised a good weather day for the local wheat harvest, hot and sunny. But the morning air was decidedly cool, almost chilly through the sheer fabric of my pink, short fuck-me-please chemise and my swollen nipples hardened and jutted through the lace.

It had been a furious couple of weeks and on the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall riots -- a point in time that most historians use as the beginning of the gay rights movement -- I found myself enjoying a full gurl day and contemplating the events.

According to some sources, it was a gurl that started the Stonewall riot. Wearing her mother’s dress, she was watching as two police started to bear a lesbian being arrested and after yelling “Aren’t you guys going to do something?” jumped into the fray. Pride Day is celebrated all over the world on or around today for that reason
.
I often think of that gurl’s act as an example of how we live, or process information -- the duplicity of being intersexed.

Today's’ Pride celebrations are especially sweet, due to Friday’s Supreme Court decision to grant same-sex marriage rights to all 50 states, reflected by a major sociological and political shift within the citizenship of the country. A lot of people worked selflessly to make this dream a possibility. Kudos to them, and to be honest, I’ll always wonder if I couldn’t have done a bit more?

Former Navy Seal Kirstin Beck is running for the Maryland Democratic House of Representatives seat held by longtime incumbent and minority whip Rep. Steny Hoyer in the primaries. That is amazing in itself...a mere decade ago that would have been unthinkable.
As a gurl candidate, she was asked to comment about Vanity Fair’s Caitlyn Jenner cover. Beck stated that Jenner had been a gurl-hood hero of hers.

"And today, when I see Caitlyn Jenner, I'm rooting for her. I love the fact that there's all this publicity and it's making people ask a lot of questions. But I want them to ask the right questions." Beck said in a People interview. “"Being on the cover like that – in her underwear – I just don't really appreciate that image. That's not what a hero should look like."

And here, my faithful readers, my gurl side takes over and screams “if Annie Leibovitz knocked on YOUR door for a photoshoot and asked you to pose in your thong and bra would you deny the greatest living portrait shooter on the planet?” I think not. (If you are reading this Annie, just let me know the time and place....)

Beck, a true American hero on many levels, does have a point, but in perspective, Jenner's portrait kicked gurls issues to the forefront of social conversations and therefore to a better overall understanding about being born a gurl.

I’ve read the Vanity Fair article twice so far. It aptly describes Jenner as the tough decathlon athlete and as her emergence as Caitlyn. I loved the reaction and decisions of his older c***dren to accept and assist her in her transformation. To me, they are big heros in the tale.

A passage that I keep re-reading is the one where the two eldest Jenner boys showed up at the beach house to do some early morning surfing to discover Caitlyn dressed and in front of the computer, using the early morning hours to be herself before having to don hated boi-clothes for the day.

That gurl is me.

And countless of others that lack the courage or resources to leave the closet. The web becomes our life-line to others like ourselves

So today, even though finances and geography preclused me from celebrating in the streets with my sisters I am celebrating Stonewall Day as best I can and embracing that I am a gurl.

Thanks for reading and be good to your inner gurl, she deserves it!~Bri
