Mannerisms

[Farrah]

I find myself doing feminine mannerisms sometimes in drab. How many of you have to catch yourself when you're not dressed? My wife told me that she notice some of mine.:o

[Cheryl T]

I'm told the same thing. Sometimes my hands and arms get a little out of control that way, but hey, it's just natural.

Hi Farrah,

I do "boy me" much better than "girl me" as I have been doing it my whole life. However, there are times when Isha does creep into boy me. I was giving a retirement speech for a friend of mine (a bit of a roast actually). Several people at the event including the retiree know about Isha. When I finished a few came up and said it was good but there were times when it was a bit girly (including an all out giggle) . . . I had no idea I had done that. Oh well live and learn.

Hugs

Isha

I've always had a tendency to sit and stand in ways that others consider "feminine"

By that I mean hands on hips, crossing my legs, that kind of thing. I went through a period of being self conscious about it, but have mostly got over it. Now I'm having to learn different ways of sitting and moving, skirts don't respond to most "masculine" ways of sitting, and walking around with a skirt that isn't close fitting can turn most rooms into an obstacle course.

Years ago I suffered 2 ruptured disks, L-4 and L-5. (believe me this is all relevant to Farrahs question)
My orthopedic surgeon was against surgery.
I spent 6 months doing physical therapy. They taught me to maintain a basic femme posture...shoulders back, lower back in, pelvis tilted forward, feet together.
Sure came in handy!

I find myself doing the same. I spent decades hemmed in by the requirements of being male. Going out en femme gave me permission to use more open, feminine mannerisms. It felt right. It's no wonder that a few of those mannerisms now slip out when I'm in drab. :)

I too catch myself doing things in a feminine manner sometimes.

[Adriana Moretti]

i catch myself smoking my E-Cig kinda girly occasionally..even the way i hold it....and sometimes when nobody is watching I like to walk the walk...
especially in a mirror or reflection

[Kate Simmons]

I don't worry about . What others see is what they get. It's all me. :)

[Taylor Ray]

Yes I get asked if I am gay a lot. I am not over flamboyant, but there must be something going on.

[AlexisWest]

Oh yes girl! My wife says I walk very girly, even in guy mode. My hand mannerisms, loose wrists and the way I touch are really feminine too. Kinda creeps her out too.

[Ressie]

Yes, from arm and hand movements to facial expressions, they just happen sometimes unless I intentionally put on male gestures LOL. I've seen it in photos of myself going back 30-40 years. It's just me I guess. I find exaggerated male gestures funny, but I'm sure many people are turned of by effeminate gestures too.

[ChristinaK]

Sometimes I enjoy intentionally making feminine movements en drab. It empowers me somehow and I guess my way of snubbing the world considering the line between male and female. Why does it have to be so?

[Beverley Sims]

I talk with my hands.
Worse than a traffic cop at an intersection directing traffic. :)

[Nadine Spirit]

I had the mannerisms before I ever dressed. At least now occasionally my clothes are more fitting. Ha. :)

[Jaclyn]

I've only been dressing fully for about 4 months, since my wife caught me with her panties. She has been very supportive :). So I'm doing a lot of practicing even in guy mode.

[bonni]

All the time on construction sites. I always catch myself walking as if I'm still in heels. I don't worry about and keep going.

[MeDeanna]

You get mannerisms from both parents and some you pick up from people you have admired.

I wonder if women are more conscious of gender-specific mannerisms than men?

[noeleena]

Hi.

Mannerisms. could be to do with your face hands or voice, and body.

Im very expressive. hands and body. and sometimes i have difficulty with words as in writing as you know from some of my posts, i cant allways explain my self in words, so it comes down to you need to be infront of myself to understand my body langauge, in what im expressing,

Dyslxca makes me use my body, = make= well show.

put this way id rather be in front of a 1000 people and talk to them because i interact better, and my whole body as well. Iv done it and its easyer, okay im weird and a female goes with it,

...noeleena...

About 35 years ago, when working with all women for extended periods, I started to pick up their behavior a bit too much, to the point where one of the girls mentioned that the way I was sitting looked a bit girly. I've been very careful not to ever repeat anything like that again, and very carefully monitor everything I do. I work very hard to act the part of a 'normal' generic issue american male, and believe that I've got this 'role' down perfectly.

[CassieD]

A colleague told me once that I was standing like a girl. I asked him if he was turned on. He went away.

[Tina_gm]

Oh definitely. I have always had some feminine mannerisms. Before I dressed there have been times when it has been noticed. Now that I am more accepting of myself, I am finding those mannerisms are happening much more frequently. I do try not to let those happen in public but occasionally they still do. At home I just do whatever comes naturally and that is often feminine in nature.

[Paige62]

Hi i watch videos on you tube about walking sitting posing and eveything about gg and try to do the same myself i can walk and have a good wiggle when im dressed and have been practicing sitting and not slouching but because no one knows about me dressing hoping i dont make it too obvious when i am with anybody but have caught myself sway my hips when im walking in guy mode xxxx hugs love and kisses Paige

[suchacutie]

When we found Tina, one of the big interests was to find out what role she had played in our 55 years that I was supposedly only male. That started me down a road if consciously separating Tina mannerisms from my everyday male life. So, as Tina learned more about who she was, Tinaisms were evermore segregated with an increased alertness to gender mannerisms plus the ability to turn them on and off.

[Barbara Dugan]

I always had natural mannerisms since early age, and that became a motive of concern to my parents they were worried about me getting bullied.
I was told not do what to me was for me natural way of act and was forced to participate on more male oriented activities with time I learned to hide the mannerisms but not totally...still today I am not a example of masculinity

[Algoma]

I have always had several feminine mannerisms. When i was much younger and not working on dressing, when I found myself jestoring or sitting in a female way I would correct myself. Now I spend time working on perfecting my femminine presentation.

When I was really young I think I had feminine mannerisms. One day when I was 6 or 7 my sister told me that she heard my dad say that they should just let me walk like a girl. I was really confused and think I tried hard to avoid being perceived that way. Now I realize how much I have repressed the feminine side of me over the years. Now I don't exhibit any natural feminine mannerisms.

[WhisperTV]

Well, um, I adjust my crotch less when I'm dressed as a girl, but that's about it. :battingeyelashes:

I have tried intentionally doing feminine things while dressed as a boy, like walking heel to toe. But it doesn't seem to be making a habit of itself.

[CrossJess]

Im also giving of the fem vibe the way i walk, both hands on hips, playing with my hair, lots of hand movements but the worst one is the way i stand dont know im doing it half the time i cant help but stick my butt out espesially if im lent over a desk in work talking to someone and some of my customers at work pinch my butt, my work mates slap it and say you becareful standing like that jess all you need now is a red light haha...great thanks!

[manito_76]

I'd love to work with you.
