femme time at the lumber super store

[KimberlyS]

Well last Thursday I had some errands to do in a nearby town. So I linked in some femme time with it. I will not bore you with all of the details of my day, but had some new experiences at the lumber super store. Since I had some lifting of big things I decide to wear jeans instead of a skirt. But I did have 3.5in heels and a bright flowery feminine top on with full makeup, wig and painted nails. I started with a cart and quickly had to switch to a flat cart to get everything on. And actually things were hanging over the edge fairly well. It took me about 45 minutes to get loaded up and I did not have a single SA come up and ask to help me. I think that is a first time that while enfemme I did not have multiple people asking if I needed help with something or trying to talk me into the wimpy version of the item I was looking to buy. I went by lots of SA's and had SA's go by when I was looking things over and loading them onto my flat. I wonder if it was the jeans instead of my usually denim skirt.

Well I pull my well loaded flat up front to pay and happen to get an isle with someone being trained. As the trainer begins working with the trainee a young male employee comes up. The trainer quickly addresses him and asks if he can do a carry out and load. He says that is why he is there. So why am I suddenly in need of help. Oh well. I pay and the male employee takes a hold of the flat and I head for the door. At the door I turn and see he seems to be dragging behind and I wait for him. Moving out the door I tell him I am just down this isle. I had parked close as I did not want to drag it very far. And I take off on a slower walk to my truck and trailer. I get there and put my purse and keys inside and turn to see the SA is still about a third of the way back and loosing things. I return to help and carry a couple of the light things and put in the back of the truck. The SA finally gets there and starts to load small things in the trailer. I say maybe the larger items should be loaded first? He thinks a second and says, Yea. I pull off more of the small things that will blow and put in the back of the truck and he pulls off some medium size items and sets them on the ground and begins to struggle with the large item. It is quickly obvious he can not handle it by his self. So I put forth enough effort to get it in the trailer looking like I am struggling also. We then finish loading the smaller items and I thank him for his help and he heads back into the store looking tired. Glad I did not get anything heavier. I may have had to load it myself.

Standard disclaimer: Going out of the house was right for me, it may or may not be right for you. If you've got no desire to leave the house, that's fine, I'm not trying to push you out the door. But for those who've been yearning to do so, I just want to let you know the world may not be as scary a place as you think.

[DonnaT]

Sounds like you'd a finished quicker if you had done it yourself.

[Amelie-Laveau]

I think that you might be wrong when you say that the world isn't such a scary place,, according to your story, that SA seemed like a zombie from the living dead,, quite scary indeed. lol

I must say that since I came online I have met and heard stories that i would never hear at home. There is no way in hell any tgirl in my hood would do man's work,, carrying wood,, fixing a car,, no way have i met in the outside world a tgirl that did these things. i am not saying that it is wrong to do man stuff,, it's just that i never met a tgirl that did these things, but online, quite a lot of you girls are into mans things and sports and all that stuff. i never met a tgirl outside of the computer that knew which end of the hammer to hold when hitting a nail. You girls amaze me with your skills and your duality of gender,, maybe I'm old fashioned,,lol

Glad you had a nice time with your lumber,, must have gave you a woody.

[KimberlyS]

Donna, yea I think so. Really kind of scary when you think of it.

Amelie, yes some of the part time help there and at many stores can be scary. He was a warm body, was moving and at least he tried unlike some SA's that I have seen before.

I guess call me what you want, TGirl, CDer, TG, GenderBender, weird, strange.... it does not matter to me. Labels allow others to deal with me I just accept me as who I am. I just consider myself a guy that likes both masculine and feminine things. I live in a small town and my goal is to some day go to the local little hardware store in long denim skirt, casual femme top or tee, dangling earrings, baseball cap, my steel toe work boots, bra, panty and thigh highs; and not be the talk of the town and being shun by the time I can get home. Makeup and wigs can be fun, but for me they are mostly just a way so I can get out enfemme and protect my male identity and protect my family. I agree with you that the internet has shown me quit the diverse group of TG people. And it has made me much more accepting of others. Amelie 10 years ago I am ashamed to say I would not have associated with you. Today I proudly consider you a TG sister and would love to meet you in person. You are truely one of the leaders and forerunners that have been out as TG in the world. You did it when it was hard and have made it much easier for the rest of us. The internet makes us so close yet we can be so far away.

Sorry no wood on this trip. I got mostly insulation and misc. other things. So I only got warm fuzzies. One would think insulation would not be heavy. But put a bunch of it together into a 5' x 5' x16'' mass and you have over 50lbs of cumbersome weight with little to hold on to. And for most they can not brute for lift it. Well maybe Virginia can.

Hi girls
Amelie! Women everywhere are ready to attack you Hon. There are no man's jobs anymore. My 24 year old daughter Katie would punch you in the face. She's a red head and ferocious. She can be very girly but also change the oil and filter on her car,rotate the tires and do a brake job.
Have you seen Ms Olympia lately? A woman can do any job a man can do unless it takes enormous strength like The Worlds Strongest Man and let them knock themselves out and rupture a tendon. Women are smarter than that.
Just tell Hilary Clinton that being President is a man's job and see what you get and all those other upitty women like Golda Mier,Benazer Butto,Margaret Thatcher and Evita. " Don't cry for me Argentina!" I love Patti Lupon!
Never underestimate the power and range of a woman. Men have been in charge of this world for thousands of years. What a mess. Women are now saying"Wait a minute! I can do that and do a much better job! Move over Buddy! There's a new Sheriff in town!"
You GGs know that I'm right. My theory is that in 200 years only women will be born with also a penis and sperm to perpetuate the species. It's called natural selection. Only the strongest survive.
A woman will think long and hard before sending the child she bore to it's death in a war unlike men. Think about it people.

Love
Jeannie

[Amelie-Laveau]

Ha Lol, Jeannie,,, I understand,, I'll go sit in the corner now.

What I tried to say was that I never MET a tgirl live in person who did thesae things, like play with lumber, play with cars, etc.

All the tgirls that I know would have found some man to do this type of stuff for them. lol They wouldn't risk braeaking a nail carrying wood, there's always some man out there willing to do the heavy work for a tgirl. I am not saying thta tgirls or girls for that matter are useless at these chores. It's just that the tgirls that I have met would not have done heavy work like I describes,, that's what men are for,,,lol

It's just a matter of enviorment, what happens in my area doesn't mean it's the same elsewhere. Also,,, lol, I did say "old fashioned" in my post.

sorry if my spelling is bad, I can't type good right now, I'm tired and need to sleep. Bye

[CJ]

My theory is that in 200 years only women will be born with also a penis and sperm to perpetuate the species.

Wow. That'll make it even tougher to spot a TG individual, no? Anyway, Jeannie, if it's not that, maybe they'll find a way to induce parthenogenesis in the human species, who knows? I have to admit, though, that I think your time frame is a little optimistic. Hmmmm... uh, okay, a lot.

Kimberly,

Sounds like you had fun, nonetheless. Maybe next time, you'll be doing this wearing silicone breastforms and denim overalls?

Love,
CJ

AAAAHHHHH! I broke a nail loading a 100 pound plate on the bar to do a 500 pound squat!!

In my sport it is absolutely amazing how much weight these girls are pushing and pulling now! Some girls are squating over 600 and benching in the 6's as well!!!! and most still look very feminine (depending on one's visual definition of feminine!)

I agree (to a degree with Auntie Jeannie) GIRLS RULE!!!! Weaker sex??? my backside!!!!

Go Forth Woman and BE!!!!

Love,

Virginia

Ditto!! Tell that to my younger sister and that would be the last thing you remembered saying . . . when you finally woke up, that is!

This GG has done all types of 'manly' household repairs or construction, from roof to basement and everything in between, and I do electrical work while it's 'hot' (up to 220, just like my dad and uncle) . . . just about anything and everything, and that includes working on my previous Class-A motor homes, the boat, our trucks, but not the motorcycle (Virginia is very particular about her bike)! I draw the line at plunging or snaking toilets, though . . . nasty stuff that I won't go near, I'll only be adding to the mess by ralphing!

Oh, yeah, and this GG does powerlifting, too . . . back in training mode, again!!

((Hugs))

When we first moved to Roanoke, VA back in 1999, we had our our house built. I remember on day we went by to see how it was coming. We stopped by the construction trailer and talked to this lady. She was wearing a A-line knee length Skirt Suit, 2" polished nails, 3" Spike high heels, and wonderful makeup. Not what you normally see around a construction sites. Anyway we get onto the golf cart and she drives to where our house is being built. We get out to inspect how the work is going on. Our house is brick about half way up and sideing from that point to the top. She is looking at the house and asked who started the siding on the front. This moacho red-neck type said he was. She walks up, picks up a hammer and proceeds to pull off the siding. Then picks up a new slat, puts in place, taps it in with the hammer, picks up a nail gun, BAM BAM BAM, sets it down and turns to this guy. Tells him that is how you put on siding. Never broke a sweat, or chiped a nail or even got dust on her skirt suit, but you should have seen all of the construstion works standing there with their jaws hanging open. She turns around and we walk back to the golf cart. She then told us that her father owned the construction company and she grew up building houses.
My wife laughed all the way home. She thought it was so funny, so did I.

Amelie you're from the South Bronx. You must have met women from the South or the Islands there who could do and had done anything a man could do. Maybe not tgirls but GGs. And aren't we trying to be like women here?

Women doing heavy work isn't new. Back in the day before a farmer could afford a mule his wife pulled the plow......My grandmother could hunt, fish, chop wood, build a house' plow the fields and anything else needing to be done with no help from any man. The only thing she needed a man for was to get pregnant. She thought men were the weaker sex. Probably a good thing since my grandfather was away for extended periods.

I think that I might not have wrote my original post all that clear. Oh yea I met some very strong girls, I have have run into girl street gang members in the Bronx. I have never said that girls were weak, or anything like that. All I said was that the tgirls that I met in bars, clubs, in the street, whore houses, would never pick up a hammer,, never would they play baseball, they never did anything that one might call "manly" stuff. I know, I know, girls do all the same things as men. but there are some ggs that do not use a hammer, there are some that do not play baseball. I have met ggs that do hammer type work and I have met ggs that do not do these things,,, but I have never met a tgirl in my outside the forums life that did hammer work, lumber work and stuff like that.


Maybe it's because one meets different people in different areas of their lives. Maybe when I say the word tgirl, maybe the tgirls that I meet are of the transsexual type. Ones that don't go back into man mode, maybe these transsexuals don't want to do anything that is considered male so they stay away from things like lumber work, even though many ggs are involved with lumber work. maybe I hang out with people of a similar mindset, whereby they all have similar feelings as to what they consider is right way for them to live. Just like society has rules, there are also rules among sub groups. Maybe the sub group of tgirls that I meet have had the rule implanted in them to avoid doing things they consider manly. maybe these rules aren't written in stone, just something everyone in the sub group takes for granted as the way to live.

Ya gotta understand,, there are microcosms of people out there that live in certain ways with their own ideas. On cd forums, one mostly gets a suburban hetero married family type of cd, not all but most are. Well, before I came online, I never knew that they were so many of you guys. My world was empty of this type of cd and I knew nothing about them, I am not stupid, I knew you guys existed, but I knew nothing about hetero cds personally until i came online.. Well, the people that I hang out with will never , ever come to one of these cd forums, so unless some here on the forum hang out in transsexual pick-up style bars, or TS whore areas, then you will never know who these tgirls are that I talk about. You will never know that they don't pick up a hammer and strike it to some lumber, it doesn't matter how many ggs are advanced and toss a hammer, these tgirls just won't do it.

Again,, I am not stupid, I do know that ggs can do anything that a male can do, and cds can be like ggs and also do male stuff like lift lumber ,, all I am saying is that the TS girls that I hang with or hanged with, would never use a hammer, or load lumber, that's all I;m saying.maybe I should have used the word TS instead of tgirl, maybe that woulda helped.

One more thing,, it's not a matter of being weak, the TS girls that I knew would not be afraid to put a knife in someone they felt threatened by. The TS were very strong girls, people didn't mess with them, it's just they had their "rules" of behavior, and carrying lumber was a no-no. Why these rules, don't know, Just is.

PS--I forgot,, but Kimberly, did I say that I was glad that you had fun,, well I am glad,, honest I am. Now go build something, a spice rack would be nice,, very girly. lol

Hi Amelie
Gee. I started a riot! You know me Hon. I saw an opportunity to get a few jokes in. Most everything I post is tongue in cheek or cheeks if your Bi. If opportunity knocks I open the freakin' door.
I understand completely that we all have our own world and life experiences and that's just fine to share it with us all. I know you are not stupid and you're pretty cute too!
Speaking your mind is great. Some people get their backs up now and then but too freakin' bad. That's life. The people who said"Life is a bowl of cherries " are the same people who came up with "The Golden Years". Sitting in a wheelchair in a nursing home drooling in your shoe. They also can be credited with"Your special day" The wedding. You better enjoy it because it's all downhill after that.
When I come on here I always have a smile on my face and have only good intentions. Unfortunately the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. Ask George W. Bush. He knows!
Amelie,you are wonderful. No flies on you Hon. Just be yourself and write up an apology form letter that you can just insert new names for people you offend. I have one on MySpace. I'm up to 50 million people. Sweet! Big hug Beautiful! Life is good!


Love
Jeannie

Thanks for everyones comments and I love where this has taken a side track. It just goes to show again how we can be very alike in some ways and in other ways very different.

CJ great idea. I have seen some cute jumper/demim overall type of skirt outfits in the second hand stores. I will need to look them over next time. It should look cute with a pair of steel toe work boots and a tee with a set of DD's.

That reminds me of that time where I moved, the movers clearly classified me as a wimp. (I'm a bit of a sissy even in male mode.)

Anyhow, they had a hard time moving my desk (giant beasty weighs 400 pounds assembled, gotta love converted antiques).

Eventually they gave up moving the whole thing for now and thought they'd try it again with shoulder straps after their break.

I pulled a fast one and pieced it apart up into my appartment and back together before their break was over and them proceeded to use water to fake heavy sweating.

To drive the knife even deeper I just stood in the stairs faking to be exhausted and said to them ''You guys should work out some more, all those breaks really aren't doing your muscles any good.''

They finished working without ever taking a break. I was laughing my pants off seing them hellishly working back their egos, especially since I was paying them by the hour.

Brains over brawns. Don't always rely on appearances. Being girly doesn't mean you're hopelessly useless at menial tasks.
