Should he have outed himself?

I don't think you're going to be able to hit some of those notes, dear chefhmboyrd. I will not be there to do that, um, thing to make you hit those high notes.

Was the "rehearsal disclaimer speech" you gave me a sort of warning you may be trying to hit those notes anyway?

i would actually be singing in another key, but yes.. the warning was not for the notes that i do hit.....
it is for the ones that i may miss that will surely hurt your ears.........

Luke A is unhappy as he two favourite people are up for nomination, this blog kinda covers his experience in the house.

Something has finally happened that has pissed me off in the show. There is a boy in the show. Tall, covered in tattoo's, full of male privilege, comes across as really arrogant, and Luke doesn't like him. Why doesn't luke like him? Well according to the Big Brother audience it's because Luke 'Wants to be him' and 'Because he was born a woman'. It's still the idea that a transman is somehow inferior and is naturally 'looking up to' the almighty cisgendered man, when we all know that transmen are usually far more mature and knowledgeable than any cisgendered boy of the same age.

And THAT is why it's hard for me to watch reality shows that are primarily for the hetero audience (that include LGBTQ peeps). Trans or gay folks are usually put there for "shock value" and ratings rather then a genuine interest in understanding us. Programs that center around LGBTQ lives/struggles/etc. are easier for me to watch because I don't usually have to worry about my blood pressure rising due to preconcieved notions from people who have no clue what the hell they're talking about.

I dunno if I'm more mature or knowledgeable but I do know what it's like to have preconcieved notions attached to me merely for how I look. I've learned to ignore it for the most part but shows that do shit like above tend to send me into a grumbling state of agitation. Lol.

Transivisisbility is a hard one whether it is in a real public arena or everyday life.

I'm currently in a new situation where literally only one other person that I sees knows for sure and I don't see him very often. Others may or may not have a clue because they have seen my drivers license and my birth name.

In fact someone somewhere addressed the name issue, which has so far been my work experience wherever I go. either the name or pronouns will be off, I don't say anything but somewhere it's corrected. The person I checked in with here was using she and my birth name and the next time I saw her she addressed me as Koop.

With that said it's not this constant "who do I tell" nor "when do I tell" nor "do I tell" but the thoughts do go through my head.

Back in Los Angeles and most of my life I"m openly trans. I don't wave a flag but a lot of people know and it's not something I could hide if I wanted to. So it's weird to be put in a situation where people don't know.

Ulitmately I want to be seen as the man that I am however I'm not sure if I want to be seen as only that. Because I believe my upbringing and history is what has made me the man I am. To hide that, feels in a way like hiding me. I've done enough hiding in my life.

Yay, Luke A is trending on twitter! Benedict got evicted from the house and fingered Luke to win, so now all of Luke's latent fans are popping up. It probably helps that he's a nice guy in a house of posers. This has made me feel better about everything.
