Well Polly would have to do her part.. Shave the arm pits and legs, Color the hair normal, put on some make up, lose the vampire finger nails, get a nice dress and shoes with some tasteful jewelry etc..
I have seen some makeovers that takes these dykes and makes them look like a woman.

And of course that is the problem. Most of them say they are lesbo because they want to be, but what it really is is that they cant get a man. They were never taught how to please a man or be attractive to one.
If they learn their lives can be so much better

It's what's on the inside that matters to me. Let her establish her own outer appearance. It is her actions that should be of most concern.
I used to buy my glass for shows from a guy that was absolutely covered in tats and piercings. His appearance had nothing to do with the quality of his work. I sold a lot of his pipes. He made money, I made money and we were both good with that.

Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.
I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
That's a beautiful worldview!
To tell you the truth, I don't know like if I've been just 'destined for service' from the point of conception or not. When I was a kid, I toyed around with several career ideas at different points. First thing I wanted to be was a train engineer or a conductor because I loved trains. Then it was snake catching that was surely for me because I'd watched a bunch of nature videos and found snakes oddly fascinating for some reason. I tortured my poor mom by dragging her to the snake house at the zoo every weekend for quite some time. Then it was archeology that was for me because I got into dinosaurs (even before Jurassic Park made it cool, mind you). Then after that, I started being abused. After that started...I don't know, I just seemed to lose my sense of self. I didn't know what I wanted to grow up to be anymore. Before that, I'd had all these different ideas and now I just drew blanks consistently. There's a certain level on which I still feel trapped at that same stage of life to this day, like I never truly and fully grew up. It just stopped my personal growth process. From that point on, I really just didn't want to grow up anymore. I was afraid of what graduating would mean for me now, as I had no idea of what I wanted to do with my life anymore. I stopped feeling like I was capable of accomplishing much of anything. I became more introverted.
Skipping past the ugly details, I did managed to squeak through college on my third choice of major and land a job teaching American history at a local high school here in Burlington about a decade ago. I loved that job. And here's where you're right about me: A huge part of the reason why I loved it was because it challenged me. It forced me to develop better communication skills, among other things, and I needed to. I needed to get more sociable. The best days for me were those days when I'd receive letters or notes from former students telling me I'd gotten them interest in history for the first time. On those days, I felt I'd actually contributed something to the world. Then came this $#@!ing pandemic. There went my teaching career and here I am bagging groceries 60+ hours a week.
Don't get me wrong, my job is fine. The people are nice, the atmosphere is professional yet generally relaxed and unstressful, all that sort of thing. But it doesn't pay anything hardly and frankly I don't feel like my job is really necessary. I don't know where to go from here. There's no way I can go back to teaching because I'm sorry but I just cannot do this "virtual learning" crap (it's a joke anyway). And even if I could do that, am I even woke enough on the social medias to retain such a position these days? I feel lost. Did I mention that my mom died last year? Well, I just don't know what to do. I'm living for my girlfriend pretty much right now.
