So I’m sure you’re wondering what this blog’s all about.

Yeah, yeah, there are a lot of trans* blogs on tumblr already. A few of them might even overlap with this one in scope. But lucypaw and I got to bein’ utterly bewildered by some of the things we’ve experienced cis people do and say, which got us thinking about making a blog dedicated to these “WTF” moments.

Example time!

Lucy and I were making a quick run to the gas station by the hotel she was staying at during her recent visit. My trans male self was dressed in a pair of khaki cargo shorts and a t-shirt with the sleeves cut off to form a muscle shirt, with my binder on under it. Totally flat chest, very stereotypically male attire, and I just wasn’t giving off a terribly feminine vibe, period. She and I go up to the register to pay for our purchase, and you know what the cashier calls us?

“Ladies.”

Somehow, in my muscle shirt and khaki cargo shorts, with my flat chest and impressively hairy legs and armpits, I was a lady.

WTF, cis people?

And thus, this blog was born. I just hope you’ll find it a useful, therapeutic, and entertaining resource!
