Candy's words are my thoughts exactly.
I like bring attractive, but I want nothing to do with any man I attract. That may get me into trouble some day, but so far, so good.
Candy Darling was my first transgender idol. She was a peer and she was gorgeous. And she had the guts to go to New York City and be the woman was meant to be. Unlike me who lived to please everybody except myself and did not take the 90-minute train ride to the City to be the woman I was meant to be.
I purchased Candy's book for $1.99 in Kindle format from BookBub a few days ago.
If you like books, then you should check out BookBub. Everyday BookBub sends me an e-mail containing great deals on electronic editions of books in topics of my choosing. Typically, the books cost $.99 to $2.99 and some are free. Note that the deals are only good for one day, for example, Candy's book deal has expired and is now back to its normal price of $9.99.
I have added about 30 books to my library via BookBub. Some of the books are ones I probably would not have obtained at their retail price, but for a buck or two, I could not resist. Usually I am happy with my purchase, but even if I am not, I did not kill a tree in the process.
And so it goes.

There is a degree of validation when a man demonstrates interest in me, but I have no interest either. I would say that I'm not attracted to men, however I am attracted to the thought that men find me attractive when I'm out and about in my feminine persona. I think most of us like to believe that we're getting some (positive) attention from people as we move about in society. As Oscar Wilde once said - "the only thing worse than being talked about, is not being talked about". :-)
