[background info, i work at a coffee shop]

i was a bit ticked off at work today. i went on my ten min break. come back. two people i work with are laughing. and i asked whats so funny.

"see that person over there in the skirt
[she was a few feet away putting cream in her coffee]? thats a MAN! i can tell by his adams apple and the structure of his face. HAHAHA."
-other person laughing
"why would a man wear a dress? thats wrong. hes a man!"
i tell the woman goodbye and say have a nice day. she looked pretty sad and scared. :( i hope she didnt hear them.
i was dumbfounded by the way they [the people i work with] reacted.
i told him that was really rude and to let her live her life and that she probobly has it hard enough without him laughing at her and theres no need for him [the guy i work with] to judge anyone.
he didnt say anything after that.

i tried to be nice about it. i didnt want to. i hope what i said, made him open his brain up a bit.

[sorry about posting to a few diff places]

What do I need to stop putting off?

[butterflywing.livejournal.com]

I need to stop putting off my research/thesis paper for English that is over due. And why am I putting it off, you may ask? Because it's on gender. And I really just can't handle writing my paper right now if I'm not secure enough in my own gender. I am having so many mixed feelings that it's really difficult for me to write. A few months ago I chose a topic that meant something to me. But now it seems as though it's TOO close to home for me.
