The Locker Room

There's a transvestite that goes to my gym. She (as I assume is the gender she would prefer us to use) uses the women's locker room. She works out in chunky heels, nylons, and make-up. She never reveals herself while changing, constantly maintening the nylons. Never removing the sports bra. Forever reapplying the make-up. She is a big fan of blow dryers and very small spandex shorts. All of this was noticed after several months of sharing locker space with her. The following thoughts occured to me: have other people noticed? Has anybody manifested their distaste? Is anyone deeply bothered by having a biological male in the dressing room, even if she makes for a really convincing woman? And did the staff of the gym hesitate at all when showing her the locker rooms? (The women's locker room is the only thing on the last floor, and only women are allowed up there.)

I'm all about people that feel like dressing like the opposite sex or people that feel like "becoming" the opposite sex doing what they please. I'm personally fine with having her around. But I can see how people of a previous generation or a different social background might not be. It just got me thinking, that's all.

So - you think we would want him/her in the men's locker room?

Would it be the same issue at hand if I did?

I think not.

Why wouldn't you want her in the men's locker room? I'm not sure what you're asking... Just because she prefers to dress like a woman doesn't say anything about who she prefers in bed.

I think he probably doesn't want her in the men's locker room because she LOOKS LIKE A FRIGGIN WOMAN. So I mean, she's gonna give like, sixteen guys a serious jump every time she goes in there. It's obviously the more uncomfortable option for her. And probably for them, too. They're going to wonder what the hell a chick is doing in their locker room. With chunky heels and nylons on.

Ok, let's think outside the box. Are you SURE you are at a gym? A lot companies are downsizing now, and share space with another company to reduce cost. You might be somewhere else entirely. After all, everything is in French...

:D

You are such a pants!

(But I am pretty sure I am at the gym. I don't think the Frenchies work that hard in offices.)
