The Bearded Lady Does Exist -- Funny Story

July 7, 2008 11:55am CST
The day before the 4th of July I went to buy a cabinet that was fairly new, used so I thought of getting one cheap at one of those Salvation Army Thrift Stores. So I go in and find different varieties of cabinets. This was going to be used for to keep the bottles of wine, champagne and other drinks we were going to put in the backyard for the 4th of July. So I pick one up went to the store clerk to purchase the item. The person who rang up my item had long hair, bushy eyebrows almost look like had unibrow and full grown beard. Once I was done I said to the person, "Thank you mister you have a nice day!" All of a sudden I saw the person looking at me strange like I offended and it said, "Excuse me? I'm a woman!" With a full feminine voice. Then I said, "You got to be kidding me?!" Then I just had that stare like ("Am I not getting this? A bearded lady?") -- That's what I said in my mind not out loud. Didn't want to make any matters worse I just left out the store and the woman with the beard gave me a mean look and I gave her a weird look and just laughed it off. And all that time I figured those stories about the bearded lady was just those myths you heard in a circus. But they actually have them. I wonder if any of you ever encountered such a story like this one.

No, LOL I've never seen something that noticeable! But a former boss of mine did have a definite "5 o'clock shadow" and lip hair. She looked like a woman though otherwise though so there was no major confusion. The weird thing was, both her daughter's were really, really pretty.

Oh...I just remembered a 'person' that was on another pit crew at the track we used to go to. This person was very large but had a womanly figure...yeah it's hard to explain... hips, backside and chest appeared female, just very large. This person had long hair and facial scruff and could literally pick up the whole rear end of a car...in a pinch they didn't both with a car jack, this person would just lift the car. This person's voice was not overly masculine or feminine and they had a gender neutral name. I never did figure out what gender that person was!

I seem to be at a mini war with my family... I have whiskers right at the edge of my chin line... When I first started getting them I did not realise they were whiskers as my hair sticks to my face alot... Well on day I put my shirt on backwards and my shirt tag caught on my single 5 inch long whisker, and pulled it out.. I cried over that.. Cause I was proud of my creepy five inch long whisker lol... Now I got about 20 blond whiskers about 1-2 inches long. My family is so creeped out by it they can hardly talk to me for long before they cringe, and I laughed at them... It's like gee.. I think the US has a little hair phobia sometimes... I mean they force us to shave our legs, and our arm pits... and all woman get whiskers hear and there they just are to embarassed to admit it and they pluck them out. But I am transsexual so I identify myself as a man anyhow.. but amongst my family I am hidden about it because they are not very nice to trans people.. So refusing to shave my few little face hairs is my way of saying, I am gonna be myself and I love my little 20 whiskers if you do not like it tough just look away :d ... My poor sister one day we were walking on town a man mistook me as her bf she and I got a really good giggle out of it at least. I have never had bad responces outside of the family about my whiskers.. other then people asking if they are natural and wanting to touch them.... I hate being touched so I respond yes natural but they are miiiiiiiiine, and I ain't sharing lol. Have a good day - Dana C. L. "DNatureofDTrain"
