Suddenly I feel almost happy about FTM invisibility. Well, not really, but sometimes even shitty things have their advantages.
One reason I haven't been updating that often (as well as the fact that I'm at summer camp right now, which is another animal in and of itself) is that I've been in a little bit of a bind as far as how my transsexualism is being used against me in other contexts. I'm not going to go into a lot of detail because I want to protect myself, even though the issue should be over with, but the basic story is as follows.
I was accused of sexual misconduct with a child I was watching. I'm not going to go into detail, again, as to what I was accused of doing, but it was by the girl's father, who has limited custody. I should mention, of course, that it was not true and that I was not the only person he falsely accused. I freaked out, had a good talk with a friend, was a little better, wound up talking to my boss about it (remember I work at a summer camp? Awkward.)
In the end, the people involved had a phone conference in which he told the entire story of what he "thought" I had done and said. The entire story was based on the premise that I was a male-to-female transsexual. Not even in a generic sense. It was clear that the guy had made up this entire story based on the premise that because I am trans, I am a trans woman.
In other words, it was so utterly unbelievable that only the most mind-stretchingly stupid people could have possibly believed it.
So I'm back, probably, because that blew over and also because I have my computer back. Huzzah! Assume that a lot of my personal information from here on is going to be about how camp has been handling my transition, the answer to which is "surprisingly well, actually."
