Uh, yes. Been hit on lots....fun and flattering at first....kind of annoying after awhile because, as one might say, the car is on display but not for sale...:) Most of the men who have hit on me...

Oh boy! In the early 1990's Triess had some serious struggles with membership due to the fact that it self-identified as 'predominantly' heterosexual males who enjoy occasionally dressing in women's...
Unfortunately, many of us get caught in the looking good trap. It is our soul that counts....:)
Being pretty has some advantages, and it has some disadvantages....becoming a mere sex object is one of the disadvantages....getting compliments is an advantage. Getting hit on is fun BUT after...
Going out is NOT an option for me. I must go out otherwise my GD would drive me absolutely nuts. It is the only thing keeping me from transition in many, many ways.
I simply don't buy into the rigid gender roles/expectations society has place upon me in either mode. I am a gender bending outlaw, and all labels of masculine vs. feminine are useless to me....)
The great thing about San Francisco, and I used to live there, is that no one cares about who you are or what you wear. It truly is a magnificent, diverse and wonderful place to live and I miss it. ...
I get it less now that I go out and get to feel it for real. It isn't always it is cracked up to be, trust me. Some parts of being a woman, socially, are just downright painful, but I get your...
The gender police exist in both the cis, gay/lesbian and trans communities. I sometimes think people forget we are all human...Namaste.....Melissa.
I would stick by my wife if she wanted to transition...guys are cute...:)
Erica,
Have fun and enjoy the appt. Hugs, Melissa.
Relax. You have great support. Have fun and just go with it. I would dress conservatively at first if you feel comfortable doing so....:) I started going out at age 19...in miniskirts and...
I love this post because it points to something I see time and time again on this particular forum a lot. To be clear, our transgender lives exist on a continuum or spectrum or whatever you wish to...
Dress for where you are going. Have fun. Stay confident. In a group, you are read, so get over passing...but most of all, relax and enjoy it.
We all kinda get hung up on appearances as human beings don't we? As trans people, even more so to some degree...we are who we are, as long as we have self acceptance, all of the good things from...
I dress however the occasion sees fit...to a club...short minidress...to the salon...jeans, a nice top and rather conservative attire...
When coming out, it is helpful to communicate clearly, and a picture or two doesn't hurt. It makes it real, and it makes it much less shocking than just presenting as your femme self....go slow,...
Same person...different presentation....
Thousands of dollars of therapy, time, tears, and finally, a giving up process that allowed me to accept myself as trans woman....finally there....whew....Melissa.
Having a positive attitude and carrying yourself with confidence is key....Melissa.
You will ruin your wigs pretty fast doing this....yikes...Melissa.
I have a younger child and there has been no disclosure, as little ones tend to open mouth without filter...so when my young one gets older, I will then tell....everyone has a different situation....
Your first time out is kind of a rush isn't it? Once you go out a lot, it will get easier and easier....hugs, Melissa.
I go out quite often and thank god the subjects are not the economy or politics. We talk about family, relationships, and fuss over what we are wearing, etc....and T life in general...all in all,...
#2...all the way....
