Do you have a favorite moment or story?
Honestly because it happens so often, I become inured to them and they all start to blend together. However, there was one man who worked in the area, who came in weekly. He had a hulking fridge body you could tell was a man from a mile away. He wore a shiny cheap red wig in a ponytail, low on the forehead like a hat, then wore a bandana on top of that (probably to try and hide the cheap part of the wig, but the shiny plasticky fiber gave it away anyway, as well as the fact that his hairline apparently sprouted an inch away from his brow bone.) He spackled on foundation in a complete wrong shade, and his makeup - dear lord, it’s what you noticed first as a “oh, this man is psycho” warning. Even if you were pro-trans, you’d be put off. He circled his eyes with eyeliner, somehow going all the way up to his eyebrows and in a cat eye that would make Amy Winehouse blush, yet also not touching his lash line AT ALL. You almost couldn’t see his eyes for all the black. The only other makeup he wore was bright red lipstick smeared around his general mouth area like the Joker. And of course, cheap press-on red talons graced the ends of enormous meaty paws.
Another thing I like to do with trannies when they come in my store is try to force them to talk. You see on Reddit all the time, they post about how they avoid talking when they’re in public because they are aware their voice gives them away 100% of the time. So I would ask them very direct questions that need more than a yes or no answer, or id pay them a compliment on their clothing or something, anything to get them to respond. Every single time I suspected a troon and tried this trick, I was proven right.
This man…was no different. After he’d come in a few times, I told him I liked his
wig hair. The voice that came out of this hulking man…was the shrillest, creepiest falsetto I’d ever heard. “Ehehehehee!! Thanks!!”
I tried to render this utter lunatic, forgive me my skills are lacking, but I think it gets the feeling across:
