As I write this, we're entering this summer's second heat wave. I'm not a fan of hot weather, and I'm grateful that the air conditioner in my car "sorta works" after a few minutes on the road. (Yes, it's something I want to check out with my local mechanic, but I need to spend money on other things right now.) But I'm not going to feel bad about how the temperature affects me in this weather, as there are many people who have to work outside in this weather, with no way to stay comfortable while working.
I don't care how much electricity I have to use in this weather. But I'm lucky to be able to afford the electricity I need to make my apartment comfortable during the summer. When I eventually have to move from here, I will need to choose an affordable place which will be less expensive to keep cool during the summer. As you might guess, there is no way that I'll move South as I get older.
Yet, there are a few good things about summer. Being TG, I have the option of wearing a dress when presenting as a female. No one looks at me strangely if I choose something comfortable to wear in this weather, and I take advantage of the options available to me. It's too bad that men do not have this option in our culture. But discussion of that issue will be reserved for another time when I have more time to write about it....
