For those who do not know, I was a competitive cyclist but only ride to stay fit now. Last week I wanted to get my Mt Bike ready for the season and was dressed as Louise when I took it to the shop. The owner and about 5 employees and a few customers were there. The owner kept looking at my legs (smile), but as far as everyone else they were very polite and no one even made a comment.
I don't pretend to pass for a moment but I make such a nice and non threatening presentation people just seem to accept me for who or what I am. Some people find a need to converse with me about why I CD others just want to know me for me.
I also went to a funeral where the deceased was related to a local politician, so the County Executive, Senator, and some local Mayor's and councilmen where there. Well needless to say they all know me because my brother was County Treasurer for 20 years and all have met me many times as Louise. Again is it acceptance or passing. I feel in today's society it's more about acceptance.
My wife and I help other CD's with makeup, photography and escorting them out if needed. Contact me at CuteLouise1@aol.com To start at the beginning of my postings, please scroll down a little till you see the dates on the right side and click at the first (top) date. Thank you

Rainbow GOTM (girl of the month)
Today I was chosen GOTM on the "Rainbow Lounge" Yahoo site. I have no idea who the persons were that nominated me, but I was informed that it is a very prestigious honor.
This is the type of site and direction I have encouraged since I have been involved openly as a CD (TG) person.
I want to thank the people who nominated me, the group owners whom I met after the nomination and the moderators especially the one who posted this following message.

"GOTM: CuteLouise Posted by: "Heather" heather@heathercd.org heathercd_2005 Date: Wed Oct 31, 2007 8:27 pm ((PDT))It is my pleasure to introduce our GOTM Cutelouise. In the several years that I have known Louise she has proven to be a person of great integrity. Louise is the first to open her home up to any transgendered individual who needs help getting out. I have seen Louise offer to take many a TG out anywhere that they would like to go in a safe manner, even opening up her closets to anyone who needs help in finding a look that is right for them. I can say from personal experience that Louise has helped me become who I am today because she is who she is.Louise is one of those people that can encourage a person to grow in who they are and at the same time keep them grounded. She always gives solid advice tempered with a dose of reality. Louise is always one of the first to offer a handshake and education to anyone that she comes across.To quote Louise: "Where you are I once was. Where I am you will be too."Congratulations, girl.. you deserve it.-- Hugs,Heather"
