Video Post – I’m Transitioning?

by Jessica De Leon on June 16, 2010

There’s an old riddle in the T community that goes like this, “What’s the difference between a crossdresser and a transsexual?”. The punchline is, “two years”. I’ve heard and read this joke and never found it particularly noteworthy.

It’s a commentary on the fact that many trans people who start off thinking that they are transvestites eventually realize that they are actually women. They also say that cross-dressing is a slippery slope that inevitably ends with transition. Is this a case of art imitating life?

Do All Cross-Dressers Transition?

Of course not, but many do realize that there is more to their gender identity than occasionally presenting as female. With that all said, I’ve got some confessions to make. . .

This is my personal parody of that joke as well as one of my favorite types of humor – puns and word play. As always, thank you for watching, I hope you liked it :-) .

Your perspective on life re-freshing. I like how you are able to poke fun at yourself, but not in a bad way. You see how people make an issue so over the top that you know you need to find a way to put a pin in the balloon once in a while.

Sounds a lot like me.

Yea, it’s definitely how I look at the world. One of my favorite expressions is, “anything worth being taken seriously is worth making fun of” or something like that.

I’ve found that I’m happier when I take this approach :) .

Jessica – I think word play can be very dangerous and can easily lead into mis-understanding. On your post about split personalities , I may be different from many of your other friends but I feel the same way, usually, when I am en femme or en homme. Thats why I use the same name either way. I do love your articles. Warren

That was kinda funny but it told us nothing about you…

Thanks :)

Though I must disagree with the second part. The video, if nothing else, tells people that I am delicately tiptoeing along the border of insanity ;)

LOLOL That was the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while – your timing is great! :-) Hi5!

As a video editor, though, fyi, it looks like you were trying to key your background out? Is that true? Near the end there is color shift and pixelation like with green screening. Didn’t know if that was the case, if so, lemme know, I’m good at all that.

Much love hun! Love your site!

Too Funny. But the “Operation” is not funny for the person going thru it. Ok been under the knife too many times and anytime they have to cut it scares me.
