I know I complain a lot about when it's slow around here, there's no appointments on my calendar and the Reception Area is a ghost town.
Making the most of my down-time
But, it's a valuable time to connect with my employees and talk while we
brush up on our massage therapy skills. So thank you.
Maybe she has an itch that only I can scratch.
Dear Dr. Liz,
Growing up back in the 80's, my older step-brother was a huge red-neck rocker. He was one of those guys who would show off for his friends by picking on me - usually things like tripping me or pushing me up against the wall as I'd try to walk past him, giving me huge wedgies, Charlie horses... sometimes he and some friends would tie me to the tree and leave me alone in our back yard until I could untie myself ... all while calling me all kinds of homophobic epithets...
One of the times he came after me I was wearing bikini bottoms under my jeans. Fuck! He pulled my pants down to my knees and showed his friends what I was wearing. After that they usually called me the "little step-pussy," but they never attacked me again, in fact other than calling me "step-pussy" his friends were much nicer to me after that - one of them even told him he was an asshole for being so mean to me.
I was grateful the abuse stopped, but why would that have changed their attitude? And why would they think that a cross dresser would be insulted by being called a pussy?
(that's what I've been told anyways so I hope it's true for you. if not, let me know and I'll come up with a nicer name to call you.) ) I've seen guys get very intimidated by other guys junk.
It's cold here in Las Vegas today. But I've heard it's A LOT colder
most other places today so here's a nice big warm snuggle for everyone
from me to you!
You get a little innocent (mostly) peck on the back of your head too JJ.
Dear Bikini Boy,
It's easier to take when it's coming from a girl isn't it?
Or maybe it's because you have a huge you-know-what. (do you? you can tell me
Dear Doctor tall hot and kinky,
No worries, I've got thick skin -it comes with the territory. Nicknames and insults usually say more about the giver than the target. You, Liz, could probably call me anything you want without a foul.
I had a GF for nearly four years in my early twenties who has always identified as a lesbian. We were part of an activist collective - a "pack of dykes" as they called themselves. One time at a protest a big burly guy in a huge truck yelled at us, saying, "You're all just a bunch of pussies!"
One of the big butch girls yelled back, "That's right! Pussy power!"
Those girls called each other fags, queers, and dykes all the time. They called me their "fag hag". They were reclaiming the words, taking the power away from any intended insult. Whenever someone has used those kinds of words to try to insult me I say something like, "You noticed?" or "And...?" or " Are you trying to hit on me?"
I'm guessing this is it more than anything else. Everyone has their secrets and here was my step brother showing his care for my secrets. One of his friends was really put off by it - the nicest one. I've seen this kind of thing when I've gone out dressed for other situations.
I wore a cheerleader uniform to high school for a day for a spirit event where the girls dressed in pads and jerseys and played a brutal game of football while a few of us guys cheered. My girlfriend was the varsity captain, she made me up for the day. I wasn't a jock but after that all of the jocks seemed to respect me more. Weird.
I wore kilts a lot before I started openly cross dressing. It's amazing how many guys check it out and compliment it (not me) , saying things like, " My wife wants me to get one, but just can't..." or "I wish I had the guts to wear one..." Women often want to know what I'm wearing underneath . I usually say, "What do you recommend?"
When I played in a band I wore whatever I wanted and no one gave me any shit about it.
Lol, I'm a grower and I got hard in the bikini when they were watching, but I'm only slightly bigger than average - bigger than my stepbrother - don't ask how I know.
The bikini was one that my older sister put in the charity box. An 80s style french-cut, it looked good on me.
Anyway, thanks for the couch time, Doc.
- Still trying to make sense of myself.
) your go to responses! Sexist, racist assholes need to be held responsible for their venom and to me there's no better way to do that then to question THEIR sexual motives. Didn't you just love when AOC called out her self-righteous haters last month for wanting to date her? It was so perfect because it's so true.
Dear Perfectly Well-Adjusted IMHO,
(or Bikini Boy, take your pick
As a combat boots, black stockings or leggings and micro skirt wearing polyamorous girl in the 90's and 00's my sexual preferences were no doubt much harder for the haters to spot than yours. Guys were attracted to me because I generally showed a lot of skin but but my fuck-you, in-your-face attitude made them not sure what to think of me and "nice girls", well they were flat out terrified of me LOL. Looking back, other women probably hurled the worst insults at me. But again, I'm sure it was nothing like what you had to endure.

Be your best you and to hell with the haters!

That describes some of my crew.
Dear, 20-hole "Doc" Martins,
Combat boots, black leggings, and microskirt wearing polly girl... Yeah.
That reminds me of this hot goth girl named Cheryl who I though hated me until a bunch of us were walking across a school campus when a group of guys called me a faggot. Cheryl stopped in her tracks, flipped them off and put her tongue down my throat. We were buddies after that.
AOC - total badass!
Dear Shopping Above Your Pay Grade,
Unfortunately the non-awkward part will remain completely impossible for you for at least the next 5-10 years.
As a 26 year old man, you are completely incapable of either recognizing, or properly picking up on, the obvious but subtle signals of amorous interest that women in their late 30s/early 40s send out to you.
The good news is, you are basically irresistible, sweet candy to us so we are willing to forgive a lot of awkwardness to get our fix of sweet, young, yummy goodness.
The truth is, we probably fantasize about you almost as much as you fantasize about us. Well, okay, maybe not "almost as much". Maybe more like 20-25% as much. But that's still a significant amount of desire which you can and should be capitalizing on.
I'm about to break major Girl Code here but I believe it is for a good, mutually beneficial cause.
So listen up ....
Oh darn, I just remembered I have to be somewhere. I'll try to remember to circle back to your question the next time I drop by Lit.
- Doctor "You're Going To Love My Answer, I Promise" Liz
Thanks for the answer, Doc! But the cliffhanger ending is killing me
"You're late for you appointment. The clock's been running.
Would you like to get started now or not?"
