puzzling behaviour...

[I Am Paula]

I have often found it curious, even laughable, when transwomen ask how GG's behave. I have always thought it second nature, and that by just NOT acting male, what was left over was female.
This morning, in my state of near undress, and the shower already running, I dropped my panties onto one foot, and kicked them into the hamper.

Honestly...do women do that? I thought I was an expert at women's behaviour, and I started thinking if I have ever seen one punt their unmentionables into the laundry.

I have considered asking about this at the university (it's right down the street) but I have a feeling that the anthropologists will look for early proof of it, the theologists will try to disprove it, the physicists will try to re-create it, and the mathmaticians will argue the possible trajectories, and velocities, and never reach a conclusion.

Expiring minds want to know. If anybody has witnessed this behaviour in the wild, please share.

Enjoy your day:)

My wife and I have been together for 15 yrs now. She has stood tough, as well as freaked out through all of this. But that's another story.

Anyway, I haven't seen her punt nor shoot for the rim with her stuff. Usually she just leaves it strewn about the house in little piles.
Hmmm...

[renna]

Lol! I'm a GG - I go for baskets punting my panties all the time. Make a tight ball for maximum success :)

Paula, I get what you are saying, but it would pay to be careful of your opening phrasing. The implication that a woman (her behavior, identity, femininity, etc.) can be defined as the lack of male characteristics is very invalidating. That said, I have never seen my wife punt her unmentionables.

[I Am Paula]

Sorry. My intention was entirely tongue in cheek.

[whowhatwhen]

I don't think I changed any of my behaviours, I spent too long worrying over whether I was doing the "correct" male ones that I'm not gonna do the same for stereotypical female ones.
So if it's unladylike to scratch your butt in public then I guess I'm just gonna be unladylike :P

[Jennifer-GWN]

Truth be told I play both sports... Punt my briefs and dunk my bras... so there you go... Plain and simple and don't get uptight about it... Actually your question Paula just lightened the mood considerably to the quirky day to day idiosyncrasies that many of us have, do, and endure on a daily basis... If can't can't have a chuckle about this then how do we deal with and handle the big issues in our daily lives.

Cheers... Jennifer

Paula, I cannot tell you if it is female behavior without seeing how you do it. Please post video.

I just want to point out that differences between male and female unmentionables are ENTIRELY responsible for the behavior differences. It is the heft of male tighty-whities, for example, that allow for the artful toe fling of same to coat rack with James Bond hat-like precision. Try THAT with a silk thong! If those things were made of #8 canvas instead of silk, why every woman out there would be slinging with abandon ...

[Badtranny]

yeah, I sometimes get told I'm not "lady like", to which one of my best GG friends would say, "wait'll they get a load of me".

I honestly don't think there is such a thing, but I will say that one of the best perks of transition is no longer having to edit my self to make sure I was manly enough. I'm not a particularly feminine woman, but I was a little too feminine for a man.

as we grow, or if you will develop, we obtain behavioral character through interaction, mimic, and social conditioning. There are certain gender predispositions which differ between sexes due to built and biology.
Everything else is learned! even though it never feels as though it is a learning process.
We like to assimilate into the group and normally gravitate to belong to a group rather then being a loner. However given certain conditions like gender dysphoria but not limited to such, we may become more of an outsiders.
For most we give in to the notion that going through life with gender we appear as, will be lot less tumultuous, and so we put on the learning cap and go to town learning all the hyper masculine traits.

Now fast forward to present and years upon years of conditioning, it feels that how you do is actually you, but it isn't!
Behaving as a man is as fake as behaving as a woman, well, let me explain.

Both behaviors stripped from hormonally designated mechanics, are simply acts!!!

For natal woman as much as for a natal man, being one within confine of an avatar is a mask, an act. For a sis gender it is an act which feels very comfortable, for a dysphoric person such act feels as foreign as their avatar and its mechanics.

Once we realize that gender dysphoria isn't going to go away, the process of unraveling will start. Some will take it to the edge some will feel comfortable half way in, regardless, all this behavior is an act to make us being accepted into a specific social groups.

I do. LOL. It has to do with economy of movement and an affinity for efficiency (or maybe laziness), but mostly fun. :)

[kimdl93]

I knew it! Girls like shooting hoops too!

[PretzelGirl]

I am female. I have that behavior. Therefore it is female behavior.

[whowhatwhen]

Besides, you're supposed to leave your underwear on the floor wherever you take it off.

I do that sometimes too :o

(I've even kicked them and other clothing under the bed on occasion, when last-minute company was coming).

[Claire Cook]

I tried it this morning and my panties went right into the basket .... never did that with my guy stuff. :)

[Nashmau]

i do too--- especially when i am in a hurry lol so i dont think its either female or male behaviour, its just time saving rofl

[RedheadedHeathen]

I do that. Sling shot the bra into the laundry basket as well.

[Nikkilovesdresses]

Amusing thread- thanks!

In my experience, female underwear is of vastly less importance to a gg than to a man. It isn't treated with the reverence or mystique that we give it, though if it's very expensive it will probably not be kicked across the floor. The way they see it, it's akin to socks. I've always found that disappointing. My wife habitually drops hers along with her pants, in one movement. She's never grasped how much this saddens me, as I love to see her in her underwear, even if only for a moment. At least if she's wearing a skirt or a dress I'll get to glimpse it for a second...

I've only had one girlfriend who was as into lingerie as I am. She got it. She also happened to be the most exciting lover I've ever had, by far, underwear or no underwear. So that's about 3-4% of the female population, if you average it out.

Woe is me.
