EXCUSE ME?

If someone can't speak (what you call) "proper English" they don't matter and it's acceptable to make racist comments towards them?

In that case, I hope you never come to the UK,...

In answer to the original question - I'm a guy, I have hobbies, so therefore yes, I have guy hobbies. However, I do know what you mean, so maybe I should be less sarcastic. I was never into girly...

Well, I'm the dissenting voice here - I don't mind using the phone at all. I'm quite happy to phone organisations, businesses, friends - whoever I need (or want) to.

Of course, I prefer it now...

I'd be happy to chat about this with you, but I'm not really comfortable posting about it I'm afraid. If you want to chat and you use either MSN or Yahoo, PM me your details and I'll add you -...

Hahahahahaha! I can just imagine our furkids doing something like that!

:lol:

Well done on taking this step Felix - I'm sure it'll all go well for you.

However, it's always best to be as prepared as possible. There's a bunch of good resources around transitioning at work...

As a trans guy, I obviously always use the men's loos. Nowadays, I don't have any worries about walking in or out - that's not the sort of paranoia I'm talking about. I know that's a big deal for...

Dunno if this is of any use, but in the UK there's an organisation called Mermaids that offers support for the families of children with gender identity issues. I've never had any contact with them...

Sorry to hear about your dog - my thoughts are with you.

Dave

Hey, Felix and Dan!

I'm really pleased for you guys - this thread has just brought a huge grin to my face :D

Dave

Hey Felix

It's great to hear that you're feeling so happy today - long may it last mate!:D

Dave

36? No way, man! You look WAY younger than that!

I think I look pretty much my age, or thereabouts - not too much younger anyway. I'm 38 now, and I don;t really mind looking my age, as long as I...

Hey Lex, nice to meet ya - I think you must've gone before I arrived here. Your story is really interesting, and I'm very pleased to hear that you're happy with yourself nowadays - that's very cool,...

Mmm, don't mind if I do - it'll help pass the rest of the afternoon at work! :D

:drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink:

Ach, I hate it when people are so obviously staring and discussing me!

However, if they were fairly gender neutral themselves, maybe they weren't trying to figure out if you were male or female,...

You both look fantastic! Great idea to wear a white t-shirt under a shirt - that's something I should have mentioned really, it's a definite male signifier. Sounds like you both had a great time -...

Hey Taylor!

You probably have no idea who I am anyway, since I'd not long joined when you became ill, but I just wanted to say how pleased I am that you're so much better, and I'm looking forward...

Congratulations, mate, I know that's a big step for you. I can understand you feeling a bit nervous, but I hope it's a good nervous, if you see what I mean... I'm sure it'll all go well for you -...

Hmm, my trousers don't tend to fall down anyway - I generally wear a belt!

For those of you having trouble with keeping your packer in place, I completely recommend the World's Simplest Packing...

Here's a couple of ideas for you:

There's a book called True Selves: Understanding Transsexualism - For Families, Friends, Coworkers, and Helping Professionals by Mildred L. Brown and Chloe Ann...

The programme revolves around Danny, and his chest surgery - assuming it is the same one that was shown over here a while back. It certainly sounds as if it is, although they seem to have changed the...

I have a few items of jewellery that I wear - the only thing I wear all the time is my wedding ring, which is a white gold band with a Maori-inspired design on it. I carry my engagement ring in my...

I agree with Lex on the shirt and tie combination being your best bet here. Also, pay attention to your mannerisms and facial expressions, and any accessories that you have - watch, jewellery, wallet...

I don't find that I feel compelled, as such, to act in a particular way - I've always been masculine in my behaviour and mannerisms, although I spent far too many years trying to tone it down a bit...

Before I changed my name to Dave (well, David), I had a unisex name that was the shortened form of my original name. I'd planned to stick with it - I'd made the change legal a number of years ago...
