Bad tranny

[A short true story.  Photos are available if I get more than 15 comments]

It’s 1am - and I’m walking along a main road dressed as Little Red Riding Hood.  A long red wig hides my short hair; over the knee stockings my hairy legs.  I purposely didn’t shave for the last ten days; so tonight; before I left home: I did, giving myself a 70s style moustache.  There’s no getting away from it – I look like a really good bad transvestite.

     I originally wanted to go to tonight’s fancy dress party as a zombie – a nazi zombie - to be precise, but my best mate had already bought a brilliant werewolf outfit and someone needed to be LRRH – so here I am.  It’s been a great night.  Everyone of the forty people dressed up - except for one person.  Good company and music; just enough alcohol to get us merry.

     A car slows down as it passes on the other side of the road, heading the opposite way to me.  I don’t look towards it, I just keep walking.  At no stage did I ever think I might be in danger, being dressed up like this, but my internal alarm bells are ringing.  A klaxon goes off in my head: some people won’t think this is a joke.
     ‘You f**king gay c**t,’ screams a voice from the car.
      I keep walking, but wonder how this might turn out.  Should I run, or maybe face up to them?  Should I stop and cheekily ask: ‘Are you talking to moi?’ 
     ‘Oi you f**king queer ba****d.’  I want to point out that even though I’m dressed as a woman – it doesn’t actually mean I’m ‘f***ing gay’, but I decide its best if I say nothing; unsure of whether this is the greatest moment to educate an inbred on the details of sexual orientation.  To be honest, I feel a mixture of fear and exhilaration.
     Somewhere inside, I want some dirty little chav to get out of the car and start on me.  I want the chance to surprise him with my fists and boots, so that he thinks twice about ever picking on someone again. ‘You dirty f***ing gay,’ screams the voice again as the car wheel spins up the road.  For the first time I look over my shoulder; checking that they have gone, and I’m relieved to see the red tail lights disappear into the distance. 
    
     That could have turned out so differently.  For instance: It would have been funny if they had tooted their car horn and then shouted ‘Whoa-hey’ out of the window on their way past.  I would have laughed at that.  Or I suppose the other alternative would have seen me lying in a pool of blood; having had the s**t kicked out of me.
    It’s odd that a grown man dressed as Little Red Ridding Hood with a 70s porn moustache, should find ‘them’ weird, but maybe its ‘them’ that are uncomfortable with their sexuality?

  1. I laughed at first but got a bit scared quite soon. I'm glad that you weren't beaten and I would love to see a photo of you dressed as Little Red Riding Hood.

  2. oh dear....the same sorta stuff gets flung around here a lot by groups of mouth-breathing, knuckle dragging fucknuts scooting past in their hotted up vehicles....though we have a particular extra edge to the torrents of abuse that are directed to people...eggs.
    yep the flinging of eggs towards those who seem a bit 'different' to them seems to be a past-time of said perpetrators....believe me i copped a few in my younger blue spiky hair days and the only time i took them to task resulted in a beating...yecchh!
    keep on walking my man safe in the knowledge that it is they who are scared lil boys...
    great piece moustache man haha

  3. I find the ignorance and narrow mindedness of some people very depressing. This must have been a very stressful experience but you dealt with it very well.

  4. Around here, you'd would have got yourself a hot date, followed up by the mandatory shot gun wedding. "Cause you shore do look purdy in that dress."

  5. I'm with Starlight. Held my breath and waited for a worse outcome. Would you do it again?

  6. Kudos for courage. I would never have even contemplated dressing up like that, and definitely wouldn't walk around the streets with it on. Even though you dress up like little red riding hood you have bigger balls than I do. =D

  7. I think the last sentence summed it up, here in my lovely little hamlet (one of 20 places to visit this year and one of only 2 in the US by some famous magazine) i frequent a bar located right next to a cross-dresser bar, every time i see one of these ladies i pay them a compliment, even when they look a bit like you, having not shaved legs or face, and i can't tell you how happy it makes them. An "after you ladies" or "evening ladies" makes them light up, the world would be a better place if it wasn't so chock full of assholes.

  9. You sure have guts Dicky - can't say the same for the fuckwits in the safety of their car - little boys with a grown-up tool(the car, I mean) :)

  10. Funny but also scary. I'm impressed at the commitment to getting your 'look' right, what with the not shaving for ten days beforehand.

  11. O Dicky! -- I followed you here from Junklit.com and I'm so glad I did. What a great bit of writing. It's terrible that walking home in a costume can make for such a terrifying experience. This is the state of the world. More of us should dress up as LRR and grow 70s porn 'staches.

    I, for one, want to see the pictures.
