My gynecologist appointment today was great. About 4 months and the Doctor said that I was progressing very nicely.

Here I am at her office May 2013.

Ok, Don't Speak Up.....Nothing Produces Nothing

A saying to ponder from Jenny

 "If you remain silent when you should speak,

 then don't be surprised if what you did not say 

falls upon deaf ears" by Jenny Taylor

Ok my Friends a Clerk at JCPenney called me "Disgusting"

So I approached the clerk and asked if she was saying that about me? Of course I knew the answer, it was she who did not know that I heard the whole comment. She told me no, of course not. I would never do that she said to me. Hmm -ya right.

I then went on to tell her that "I was transgender and that it was really no big deal to be that". I also told her that "we have feelings and that we are not disgusting". I confronted her. It had to be done.

I was calm and very kind considering the rudeness. I was a lady. Just because people are mean spirited, it does not mean that we should yell and rant in return. It does not justify me or you flying off the handle in some rebuttal. We have dignity, self respect and pride. We conduct ourselves accordingly.

I left the store with resolve to call Customer Service and report this clerk. I did not one of you to go to this same store and then face this clerk as well. I knew hopefully (yet to be seen -maybe today), that JCPenney would make it right. 

I did call Customer Service and the representative apologized profusely. I still wanted more than just an "We are sorry Mam". I wanted to fix the issue and teach employees how to treat transgender customers better. I wanted respect for us as trans people when we shop. We deserve that. You deserve that. I hope that as this all pans out and I get a supposed call from managers today, that I have brought about some changes. All I can do is try.

Stand tall my friends and never give in to discrimination in places where you should have respect. Act appropriately and make a change for the good of us all.

Much Love - Jenny

New Shoes and a New Day...

Over the weekend I was able to get a new pair of black heels. Conservative and business friendly. I am pairing those with sleek long black pants and a blouse that's to die for. I am excited about being me today. But the thrill of being alive today is not because of my clothes. I have a genuine enthusiasm about showing the world my true colors.

Are you excited about being you today?

I'm not implying that a new pair of shoes will get you to love yourself, but I am hitting upon a point. You need to find something deep inside that you can make grow into something called a zest for life. A life loving excitement to get up and out of bed each day. New shoes again will never do this nor will a beautiful blouse, but a desire to be joyful will. A longing to dance and be thankful does. Things that are deep within you. Express those and see them grow like a field of flowers.

You can do this and when you do, even a conservative pair of black heels takes on new meaning when you wear them. The regularly dull and typical becomes exceptional because the real you is rising to the top. Find your zest for life. Live it, be it and show that to everyone. You are fabulous, you just can't see it yet.

Much love - Jenny Taylor
