Not by the Hair of My Chinny Chin Chin

Started electrolysis work on my lower lip and chin today. It went well. On the way home from the appointment, this evening, I saw lots of guys heading home after the hockey game; many were quite rowdy. Inevitably, my mind wandered over to the possibility of being clocked, singled out and ... worse. Self-defense has been on my mind a great deal lately, as I go out more often. Discussion in the online trans community about self-defense has been increasing. I've begun taking martial arts again. It does a great deal for self-confidence.

We can't let the phobes win by not going out. Confidence goes a long way against fear.

Who's afraid of the big, bad wolf? Not me. Not any more.
