I was asked to join the board members of OPLGA (Oak Park Lesbian and Gay Association) on Sunday for a get together. I am their web mistress, which I provide them with updates on their website and some of you may be asking am I paid for this, no it is volunteering because I know very little of being a web mistress and this is great practice.
So on Sunday, I had left my house wearing a pair of low rise jeans, pink polo shirt, and a black pair of reeboks. As I pulled my hair into a pony tail after curling it with a curling iron, I thought it would be best in a pony tail since it was windy out and who wants hair in their face? As I was heading out the door I noticed it was slightly chilly which if it weren't for the changes in my body I may have been able to tolerate the chill in the air, so I grabbed a fleece just in case it were to get cold.
Well it was chilly when I got to my destination so out came the fleece and away I went. Stepping up to Mike's house was very nice, I loved the landscaping and huge backyard. All my friends were there as well as 2 of my neighbors whom are lesbian.
I first felt strange being there amongst the gay and lesbians because I am not a true transgender, my being intersex throws me off a bit and since I do not mingle with the community like I once used to, being Shauna in this state would throw anyone off. A cross between a woman and man, I just wish I transitioned already and get on with my life but being unemployed has stopped all processes because lets face it, transitioning cost money.
The picnic was fantastic, hamburgers, brauts, corn, and many different salads. I chose not to drink anything because it was too chilly outside for my liking and each and everyone there knew I was cold by the way I was shaking lol.
After eating desert which was very very fattening but oh so delicious, a dark chocolate, whip cream and cream cheese and nut crust OMG mouth is watering for that again.
We sat around and talked til it was time to go sit in my much needed heated truck, this lady was frozen hehe.
I just want to say I had a wonderful time, and felt extra special because I am excepted no matter where I go. Its the getting out of the depression that prevents me from having fun. So my advice which I will follow as well, don't let something like depression foul your fun.
