Last two days a narrative rant.
14 years ago
Today is one of those days where I shouldn't really be online. I went to sleep and woke up to my hair not looking ANYTHING like it did when I got it cut... and I hve no idea to make it look even SLIGHTLY feminine like the hairdresser did. All in all it's a boys cut... which I told her I didn't want. and 
sultry told her I didn't want...she is fully aware of my situation... I'm usually upset after a haircut but never for this long. Oh and when I was getting it she was telling me about this product that regrows hair, let me explain:
Basically what this product does is it blocks testosterone so that your receeded hair will grow back and stop receeding. So first off this is a shampoo and I have no idea HOW shampoo can block testosterone as I know this skin absorbtion thing is a HUGE pile of marketing BS. Furthermore my fiancee used to work there and they are trying ot market ME product... I found that offensive. I told her I dind't need it because I was on medication to block testosterone (that actually works) OH and another problem with her theory, if this shampoo actually did block testoserone do you think it would be a good idea? NO it would not be. It would make your testicles smaller, decrease your libido, AND reduce your facial and torso hair growth... GREAT IDEA HAIR DRESSERS Evidentally you did not major or even research science just cosmetology and marketing (I'm not making fun of all hair dressers just the ones at this salon I know not all of you are like this THANK GODS)
Then I'm walking home and I say "I'm going to get a slushie" So I got and buy one. This is how the conversation goes
Me: *sets slushie on the counter*
Cashier: Is that everything for today
Me: Yes
Cashier: would you like a lotto-Max with that?
Me: No
Now me on the inside was thinking: You just asked me if that was everything and when I say yes you ask if I want something else... WHAT KIND OF MARKETING EVEN IS THIS?!?!?! Seriously I didn't even catch how hilariously foolish this all was until I got out the door and replayed the conversation in my head (I do that alot)
So I ordered a wig to fix the hair problem and I will wear it unil my hair is accepptable.
Oh so after the appointment I am talking to a girl on facebook (huge mistake right there) and she is saying how my mood swings are nothing yet and how they will get much worse I'm thinking "How do you know you're not on hormones" She then tells me this phrase that ENRAGES ME "At least you won't have your period" Okay yes facebook lady you are right I won't have my period BUT BELIEVE ME I GET LOTS OF OTHER UNPLEASANTRIES! Then I list some of the issues I will have and she says: "Well you won't have the discomfort of constant breast growth and mammory glands" I got annoyed and told her I would and that transgender women's breasts are EXACTLY the same as genetic women. They even lactate AND have mammary glands. She then said "At least you won't have the discomforts of a natural vagina. EXCUSE ME!!! I WON'T you're right IT WILL BE WORSE I don't believe genetic women have to stint their vagina with a devise 3 times a day for 15 minutes each so their vagina doesn't close over! So that's where the conversation ended.... I don't think me and this person are friends anymore. I was pretty miffed.
Now TODAY I am at work and one of our agents criticises my voice. (I don't know what he said but he was a jerk)
Oh also... we are getting pay cuts. Yeah we are losing more time and more money due to not enough being broken...*sigh*
Anyway that's my rant I have a fun event coming up though on the pluus side for all of you. I'll update when I have more info.
Sorry for the rant. It's ust been a bad two days. Loads of excersice though. I walk to and from work which is an hour and a half walk each way.
Edit: and my kindle is no longer allowed at work... apparentally they are coming out with cameras in the kindle.... okay happy place destroyed.
Edit 2: I think people just don't know how to talk to transgender people and what upsets them.

On a different note, is there anyway I can help cheer you up or anything?
Oh sis relax your hair will grow back just be patience and don't feel bad about the vagina heck I have one and believe me it ain't worth have it.
But on the other hand the chick from facebook was way out of line. I would of punched her. Just sayin'
Weirdos will be creepy.
On a serious note though, my sex therapist told me that the hardest part in transitioning is the change of the people around you and their reaction to your change. She told me that the best thing to do is to get a close circle of friends that know everything about what you're going through and will support you no matter what you might say/do/think at any time.
I would consider myself to be within that circle for you, i'm here if you ever need me.
Love you Alice.. over the last few weeks you've helped me out so much sis :)
Kai xx
Anyhoo .. I get paid next week so can pitch in a little :) I see you now have paypal so I can send directly to your gmail.<3
..oh .. and would you like a lotto-Max to go with that?!?.. ^o_0^ ...
You are incredibly knowledgeable and driven towards this goal so don't let people get you down! YOU CAN DO THIS!
Marketing wise, how much are you going to expect? most prolly the manager who is trained would teach the person and paste a template near them, it is up to the individual to execute it.
Ah yes, bad hair day. My friend had that problem too as he went to have a korean pop haircut. It would be up to you to ask the hair dresser how to maintain it. My friend's would be to use gel and the electric thing to move your hair...
For donations wise, i have to apologize as i lack the money to help you.
