I am so excited! I just bought my first girlie cell phone. "See ya ugly old man phone!"Ladies, I now command the new Motorola RAZR in Pink!! Yeah - Girl power!
I know what your thinking - "So what, I have tons of girlie stuff Chloe, why do I care about a pink cell phone?" True, but for me, this cell phone "represents"!!! Girl in the house yawl!!
Every time I find something to replace "his stuff" with "her stuff", helps to solidify my inner girlie thirst! Its things like this that can act as a subconscious signifier to others to perceive and receive me as a woman. - Plus is says STYLE!!!!
Chloe Do! - Get a pink cell phone!
Chloe Don't! - Ugly over technical modernMAN cell phones!

In retrospect, I found the Pink Razor a serviceable device for about 1 year. Over all, the device did well. But besides that, I add this item to the list of things I bought in my attempt to transition and mask off my boy self. Mean, I wanted a pink phone because I wanted it to service as a subconscious cue to others that I am a female.
I can not tell a lie, I'm still using my pink Razor. I really didn't think about it when I got it, it wasn't until one day a friends phone died and he wanted to borrow mine. I pulled it out of the purse he literaly took a step back and covered his eyes for a moment.
ReplyDelete"Holy crap! Could that thing be any brighter? Wow, you really are a girl, you had to go and get a pink phone?"
"Well DUH, they didn't have one in purple, plus it goes with a couple of tops I have."
It's now two years later and I'm still using that phone.
