Three questions I'm getting tired of hearing.
3. Have you had the operation? Which one tonsillectomy?
2. Have you always been like this? No, I used to be a size 6!
1. Are you gay now? Now????
And I've only been out for two weeks! Women don't ask many questions but guys are so clueless.
Hi Annie! (Another Mile High gal!) I think those must be part of the FAAQ (Frequently Asked Annoying Questions) list in the Crossdresser Manual.

Hi Annie,
"Are you gay now? Now???? - LOL!
Great questions. You may be tired of these, but many more will grace your presence.

Maybe you should print up a few cards with all the correct answers on it.
When they start asking, just hand them a card and walk away.

Might be a Canadian thing, but we get- Are you gay, or something? I pray we're all something. My all time favorite- Do you enjoy wearing women's clothes? Huh?
Hard to explain - but then, if you have to explain it ..
Learning to be me - the best me I can be
As they say commit the crime do the time.
The silly questions will soon disappear.
Just do not show annoyance.
By the way have you always been like this and are you gay.
I haven't had a tonsillectomy either.
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.

Haven't had that yet BUT men do stare right down the ol' cleavage. I don't think it maters if they like what they see or not. But I know how it feels to be oggled. Yep their real and mine!
How about an update to an old Italian/Irish/Polish joke:Maybe you should print up a few cards with all the correct answers on it.
Print up a card with: "Know what it is like to have to answer questions like the one you just asked - Turn over"
On the other side of the card print: "Know what it is like to have to answer questions like the one you just asked - Turn over"
If they laugh and don't turn the card over, there is hope. If they turn the card over, snicker, and hand it back, maybe there is hope. If they turn the card over one more time - walk away!
When writing the next chapter in your life, start with a pencil and eraser - my first page as Miki is full of eraser marks.
I have had the same questions posed to me many times.
The gay one is funny so I just laugh and say only on Tuesday.
I had one girl ask are those your boobs? Can I touch them?
I said sure and when she did she squealed OMG they feel so real what surgeon did you go too? I told her I didn't have a boob job just a tight bra.
She said wow show me how you did that I need help in that dept.LOL
People are just curious so always have a smart ass/funny answer to break the ice.
Some years ago a "friend" put two women up to asking me..."are you gay?".
Without hesitation and knowing he did this I responded, "No, I'm not even happy right now!".
I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !
I have had the gay jibe directed at me for years by people who don't know I CD. I used to get wound up by this and it caused me alot of stress and heartache. For many years I thought that I must be that way inclined but I always found that I was attracted to women not men. I believe that us cross dressers are a complicated bunch and if there was a scale with gay at one end and straight at the other CDers would not fit on that scale at all. well me anyway!!!!!!!
I'm a little embarrassed to say that I've not heard any of those questions from the people I get to meet while dressed. I guess people in the NW are a little more enlightened than average. I'm truly fortunate to be here and to have lovely CD girlfriends.

"Are you still gay?" No, I mean, Yes, no wait, I mean ......
Women seem to accept a CD'er more so than men. Maybe a lot of women just don't want to confront and ask the pointed questions.

I think if you're getting lot of these questions, you might want to work on your presentation. Or just change the places you go dressed. Or both.

Hi Annie, The quick answer would be.
If I have to explain it to you, You probably wouldn't understand it anyway!!
Hi Lynn, Having seen your pictures it's not hard to believe you havn't been asked all of those dumb questions.

I can explain it to you, But I can't comprehend it for you !
If at first you don't succeed, Then Skydiving isn't for you.
Be careful what you wish for, Once you ring a bell , you just can't Un-Ring it !! !!
My answrs would be No, Yes, Sorta kinda and then I would say "My turn! Didn't your mama teach you to not pry?" (or if I am really feeling mean "Did your parents have any children? I mean besides your brothers and sisters?)
The earth is the mother of all people and all people should have equal rights upon it.

I've been asked these questions a number of times -- wish i would have read your answers before. They are all great - particularly reference the boobs.
My unsolicited answers to the above questions:
3. No. In fact I cannot afford ANY operation…
2. Yes, I’ve always been like this. Do you like it?
1. Yes, I’m pleasantly GAY now, by my definition. I used to be gender-specific, i.e. straight, but I literally came to my senses…
