A Troubled Transvestite.

.....I've tried to top myself four times, either the beer or the tablets didn't work...

Isn't this the kind of conversation (with someone whose almost a stranger) you want to be having over the Bank Holiday Weekend, whilst in the pub?

Now, while I really do try and be patient and even sympathetic or empathic on the odd occasion.
When someone is quite clearly (in my opinion) using shock tactics to illicit attention, I find myself just wanting to offer the opposite.
I don't really feel especially proud of this, but it seems to be my instinctive response.
So that's what I went with.

The whole scene wasn't really helped by the fact that the person in question was also doing odd things with their body in a double-jointed fashion.
Which was making my tummy turn over.
