One Toe in the Closet

[girlabomination.livejournal.com]

While writing an entry in my journal, it occurred to me that perhaps people in the gay, lesbian, or trans communities that I'm in could help me out with something.

For a little while I have REALLY been wanting to put a bumper or sticker or two on my car to show pride, however I run into problems when it comes to going to work. I dunno, it's not a necessity, but I really want to have something that to take with me when I drive to put a bit of my personality and celebration into my otherwise very dull means of transportation. I'm sure some of you can relate to that -- the celebration thing.

The bumper sticker I have reads:

"Sorry I missed church. I was busy practicing witchcraft and becoming a lesbian."
It's so true!!

More or less anyone that knows me save for co-workers and my Dad knows about whom and what I am. They are free to agree with it or not Unfortunately my Dad is the CEO of the company I work for, does not know I am transsexual, and is extremely conservative, and catholic church going. For now I believe he regards me as an extremely odd, however effeminate guy. He can accept (though not necessarily like) that I may be a wacky liberal, but the gender thing is just way too far off for him.

So what's the question? As much as I hate to hide under a rock at times, can anyone here think of a excuse to give him if I do put it up, and he asks be about it?

At the moment I'm thinking of saying that it's a satire or rather explaining it as more of a "Lighten up!" sticker. People get themselves so worked up over things that are silly to get worked up over. Being that he thinks of me as a guy, clearly having alternate spirituality isn't going to make me spontaneously turn into a lesbian, which would first of course require a full sexual metamorphosis (little does he know).

Does anyone here have other suggestions? Simpler is usually better. :) I suppose I could always just say it's an inside joke.

Thanks,
