It's only been in the last six months that it has donned on me- I stopped pretending- I'm no longer playing at being a girl. Granted I'll never BE a girl, but living full time has become my new normal. I am woman-hear me shop. -Celeste

I'm what's known as gender fluid. I live life in both genders.
The idea of transitioning to female taunts me every day. So does preferring to be male.
Going out in public dressed as a woman rocks! Having people compliment on my outfit is the best.
Blending in, and/or being ignored rocks too. It makes me feel like the average woman.
Courtneigh, what's wrong with pretending? I grew up pretending to be a soldier, a cowboy, an astronaut. . .while I was with the boys. When I was alone I pretended to be little girl. I grew up and all the male baggage came with me. But as "I" grew up, so did the little girl. The guy in me does what he has to do to get by in the world, and does a damn good job at it. The girl in me goes along for the ride, enjoys the scenery, and more often than ever before, she shows herself to be a strong woman who knows how to dress, knows how to talk to people, and can make friends every bit as good as that guy. Now, thank goodness, it is "he" that is going along for the ride more often.
But reality being what it is, genetics can be a real b****. So keep on pretending. Reality is hiding in there somewhere.
I'm a woman pretending to be a man. When I dress that's the real me. Oddly enough, I sometimes really enjoy playing the male role. I especially like the "who's more macho" games, because I win more often than not. I think it's hilarious when I win, and I think to myself, "buddy, you just got out-machoed by a woman!"
Pretending? What is real? For me I am a man that loves dressing up as a woman and acting feminine when I am. I am not a woman but love the feeling it gives me. Would have loved to been born a woman but am not. I wonder if I was born a woman if I would have the same love and joy of dressing up or would it just be like my male side just clothes? I would miss out on the joy if this were the case. I do wish I could be open to people close to me about this side of me. By not being open am I pretending? I do Know I am having fun, life is short so pretend if you must have fun for sure, Life is short.
When I'm in guy mode, I'm just a regular guy. When I crossdress, I pretend I'm a porn star.

When I'm in male mode I pretend that I'm liking it, when I'm in female mode I pretend that I'm not an old bag.

Almost what I'd say. When I'm pretending to be young and beautiful, I'm happy. In my more rational moments I work on happy, knowing that no one else will ever see me as the person I THINK I see in the mirror. Oh well, their loss I guess. Actually I prefer to let others pretend they don't see me for what I am, that's much more fun than trying to fool myself.Originally Posted by Annabelle Larousse

Being transgender isn't a lifestyle choice. How you deal with it is.
Pretending is a harsh word. I feel that there are two parts of me and I'm happiest when both sides can co-exist and be out in the open. That said there are tmes when I need to dial back one side or the other, depending on the situation.
I feel comfortable dressed in either mode especially when I can integrate both wardrobes into my everyday wear. There are days when everything I have on is from my Nikki closet and yet I am still in male mode.
I don't really feel as though, inside, I am one gender or another, I just feel like me. I have to pretend as a guy, as in, hide my predilections for all things girly and check my mannerisms. I don't get out as a girl yet, so I'm not sure how I would act that way, but I don't see the need to hide anything at that point. (except the jewels

More and more, I find my self wanting to be the girl I feel like I am inside. I work with mostly women, so they expect me to act like the man they see. Tall and strong. I just want to wear my womens clothes and do my job, but I have to play the part of who I am on the outside. I stand with you.
Luckily there is no pretending for me. Sometimes I'm a guy, and I like that guy! Sometimes I'm a girl and I like her too! These two share a database, but are two separate applications running one at a time!
Thank you all for your input, all well said and valid.
As someone said; woman don't pretend when they wear guy clothes or do guy things and most people couldn't care less or don't even notice.
That said, why shouldn't we just do the same, take our chances and go with the flow ???
What does not kill us makes us stronger !
