085 - Don't Take That Tone With Me!

In this episode, Savannah and Julie have a little chat about the people they meet in their daily lives and how the tone in which different types of people make their introductions. Seemingly and more stereotypically, cis-women and men in touch with their feminine energy seem to harness that energy with softer and more empathetic prose while more masculine types are direct, to-the-point, and lacing some of the pro-functionary pleasantries most expect while conversing with strangers. From there, Julie digs into Savannah's second "Living with Crossdressing" book to list out the stereotypically socially-accepted terms we assign to men and women: hard vs. soft, nurturing vs. protective, dominant vs. submissive. How you present yourself to the world is not just confined to a visual medium as it encompasses very channel of social and human interaction... texting included. You can even use the printed and texted mediums as gyms for exercising your feminine creative energy.
