Oh kayyy so Lorenzo update after seeing my "male" photos
I was just called over to Enzo's house because he was suddenly uncomfortable.
Apparently his cousin was concerned about my facebook posts. I have not once specifically said that I wanted to be male.. I've just... eluded to the possibility.
For my followers so you know what's going on: I am doing a project for my Gender Studies class where in I try to pass as a male for a week. This week will start either April 23 or April 30th depending on when my binder comes in. Until then, like the transgender people with whom I've been conversing, I am slowly easing everyone I know irl into the possibility with little things here and there. Today, my dad and I went to get clothes. EVERYTHING that I'm doing and the reactions from people I'm garnering, I'm recording for my project. As an actress, I think it's a viable approach to my Gender Studies class. My transgender friends also think it's a cool idea. When I first got the idea, my boyfriend, Lorenzo, was the first person I approached- because if he wasn't ok with it, I was not going to do it.
After his talk with his cousin, he started feeling very uncomfortable with the idea. He had to try and explain to his relatives what I was doing, and, honestly wasn't even that sure himself. The entire family responded "very neutral, but interested in what I'm doing." He can't entirely explain anything... He just... suddenly had an uneasiness in his stomach after being confronted by his family. Then told me to go record it. So. here I am... wearing a pair of his pants he just gave me ;D ... typing this vague reaction. Easter dinner tomorrow with his family shall be... interesting. xD
