Educating a friend

[escherzo.livejournal.com]

So, someone I know has posted a few times about a "tranny party" themed college party she went to. I have yet to think of any response to it but I feel like I should say something because a. it's making me kind of uncomfortable and b. "tranny party"? really not okay.

Any advice on how to explain exactly what the problem is there without coming off as rude? I'm not sure quite how to approach it.

yay!

I cut my hair short last week and bought myself both some men's and some women's dress clothes on black Friday. Being ok with, or at least aware of who I am has helped me find peace when I get dressed every morning. I don't have to look like all the other girls and I don't have to look like the guys either. I also don't have to look like shit because I've given up trying to fit into some group. I feel good mixing it up. Who made the rules about what boys/girls wear anyways? Make-up with a boy's outfit, leggings and heels with a man's dress shirt...this is fun! I can be me and look good too!! :)
