If you stay thin, and your beard doesn't get worse (getting it reduced makes a huge difference), there's no difference in pass-ability as you age. You just pass as an older woman.
If anything I...
I've been going out for 25 years. At first I walked like a guy and had a terrible voice, etc, etc.
Gradually I learned how to blend in (that's the best protection from being ID'd and gawked at...
Hi Shenanigans,
I remember a law being passed (in the US) against genetic discrimination in health insurance, and found info on this gov't web page:
In May 2008, the Genetic Information...
Yes, I've done it in LA twice, and was selected both times.
The second time I was voted fore-woman!
Here's the link where I describe my last experience at length.
I usually buy my things on sale. I go shopping en-femme so it's easy and fun to browse through the racks at Macy's.
I just got this dress for $91 (which is more than I usually pay), but it's...
I've run and played tennis for 30+ years. I've run over 100,000 miles, and yes, everything works. Only problem is I have to get a new odometer. Average is 60 miles/week over those years. And I...
There's a tendency among TG & Ts's to want to be intersexed, or have some medical diagnosis that explains why they are the way they are. I've knew one TS who was absolutely certain she was...
Since several people have told me that I look better in person, there's two possibilities:
The camera lies or my friends lie!
Verrrrry Interrrresttting...I've been in one or two close calls, and the key is not to lock eyes with acquaintances, but simply slide your gaze by, maybe with a girl eye-look, or slight toss of the...
Well, it obviously depends on if you pass...a snotty rude person won't say anything to a (percieved) woman, but oh boy, if you're read, they'll be all over you. Fortunately, only a minority of...
An interesting moment, to be sure!
Earlier this year I was trying on a great Calvin Klein cap-sleeved sheath dress and the zipper jammed. I was at Macy's in the west side of LA. I just picked up...
No problems at all here. Its a different state of mind.
I want to blend in and be taken (at least casually) as a woman.
To me, an obvious gender blend would be embarrassing in public. I don't want to shock, surprise, or disturb the universe. I've...
Yes, you are so right. I very rarely go out alone, it's not much fun -- the exception being when I've found some great outfits :). I've also cultivated many non-Trans people as friends.
See you...
Once I walked right by a friend, and I don't think he noticed, because he didn't even really look at me as he walked by.
I did run into a sales manager when I was en femme at a lesbian bar once,...
It just may be time to go ... SHOPPING!!
When I hate my hair, I buy a new do :)
My late wife was fine with that length. Although I didn't color the tips and just buffed the nail, no polish.
A girl I date isn't so tolerant...wants manly nails cut to the bloody quick as far as...
Good point, Reine. A hit is when someone approaches me and asks me out, or asks to sit down at my table and chats and gives me his number. At a bar, I consider a bought drink to be a hit. This...
As an adult I've only been hit on when dressed. Mostly in the "straight" world. Ranging in age from a couple of guys in their early 30's and up to a fit 70. I've also gotten a few hits from women...
I was born about 20 years prematurely! No internet, no community, it was the dark ages for sure...
Natally, I popped out at the correct time, but with mysteriously long index fingers...
One of my friends (who is now successfully post-op SRS), really wanted to get breasts prior to transitioning. She spent a lot of time en femme outside of work.
So her shrink suggested gluing on...
Fun, isn't it?
Warning -- mainstreaming can become addicting!
So true!! I cringe when I read those kinds of egotistical and denigrating comments.
Oh dear. I don't want to look, it just might "cure" me!!!
