    Plusses and Minuses

    Okay girls, time for a little self-honesty, what are your best and worst features insofar as presenting yourself as a woman? I'll go first:

    PLUSSES:

    Big blue eyes, long lashes
    Nice legs
    Tight body

    MINUSES:

    Big hands and feet, I hate them!
    Hairy as an ape, gotta shave down every other day
    The voice...although in short spurts I've gotten better with lots of practice

    Finally, an intangible: the same self-confidence which works for me as a guy helps a lot when I'm making it as a woman

    Okay, those are my plusses and minuses, what are yours?

    Broad shoulders
    Huge Feet
    Stubborn facial stubble
    A general lack of a desire to attempt to pass as a female ;-)

    Right there. To your left. No, your LEFT! Yes, that's it. Hi.

    Plus: Everything below the neck

    Minus: Everything above the neck

    Seriously though, on the plus side is my freakishly tiny body and abnormally long legs. Add to that an attitude of "Why yes, I do belong in a dress and heels. Why do you ask?" and it's not a bad package, overall.

    On the minus side would be the three H's - hands, hair and hips (lack thereof, actually). My hands are guy-like in their enormity. My hair, if you read my last adventure in hair removal, is Sasquatch-like, and many people have told me, "If you had hips - girl, you'd have it goin' on!" The worst minus is my face. I am like those unfortunate women who you see from a distance and think, "Wow! She's hot!," and as they come closer you think, "Awwwww! Why does pretty have to stop at the neck?!"

    Pluses? Yeah rite, in MY DREAMS!

    Minuses- Man shoulders, arms and hands!
    U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.

    Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!

    +: I'm fairly androgynous, therefore I can pass as cute. I don't care if I look like "a real girl," just as long as I can be a cute me, which I feel is a possibility, I'm happy.

    -: I'm hairy as a werewolf, which means waxing, which means ow.

    Isn't that something?

    Plusses:
    No body hair other than legs and lower arms, slim body with long legs, no disernable adams apple, size B natural breasts, relatively femme face, long eyelashes, size 10 feet and size 12 body.

    Minuses:
    Long nose with prominent male "bump", 6 foot tall, no chin, middle age fat deposits in the wrong places!

    Overall I feel pretty lucky. I can shop for my sizes just about anywhere and I don't always have to wear a corset. If I could get a nose job, a chin tuck and lipo I would be a very happy, and very pretty girl. I'll settle for losing 15lbs!

    Hmmm.....

    Plusses: Not too overly large for a guy. I make a big girl, but not too bad. 5'9" (without heels), and about 160 lbs.

    Feet aren't terribly large, ladies' size 10 almost always works.

    Nice lips, nice legs, no hair on chest, beard not too thick.

    Terrific sense of feminine style (Well, I think I do! lol)

    Minuses: 6' tall in heels

    Not at liberty to completely shave my legs

    A little fat, no hips or butt to speak of

    Large masculine hands, guy voice, big nose.

    Any money found in the laundry is MINE!

    +-

    First: Karren, no plusses??? I would kill for that smile you have!

    +: great legs!, blue eyes, small adam's apple, good eyelashes, ok eyebrows, ever smaller waist, ok voice and getting better, and I can really navigate well in very high heels, beard hair is grey so easy to cover.

    -: 5'11", big and strong upper body, terrible smile, thin lips, largish male nose, too-small hips, generally hairy so getting hairless is a serious chore, weak fingernails from a fungal infection that is only slowly improving so hard to have a nice set of natural nails.

    Since there is nothing I can do about my inverted triangle body, I spend my time trying to narrow my waist to give my hips more apparant size. The physical issue are really all a matter of illusion anyway, so it's useful to write down what I'm dealing with.

    tina

    P.S. update...my voice has REALLY improved, as have my fingernails. I almost have a real set of nails!!!!

    Plus?
    Light and sparse body hair
    No obvious Adam's apple
    My wife supports my efforts
    A body that can be molded and shaped by various, and not too painful, articles of formwear.
    I can sometimes femininze my voice, just a little.
    I enjoy the process of getting girly
    sometimes I can even put a good outfit together.
    Crossdresser.com
    A short memory of how bad I looked the last time I tried any of this.

    minus?
    I'm over 6'1" barefoot
    Man face, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, feet.

    Being transgender isn't a lifestyle choice. How you deal with it is.

    I'm loving the honesty, girls! Kelly's right: if you combined all of our best features, you'd have one hot chick. Then again, if you combined all of our worst features, you'd have the woman who played the lead role in "Throw Mama From the Train"

    It just goes to show that if you accentuate your charms and minimimize your flaws, you can really improve your feminine mystique. Of course, the fashion industry has been selling that concept to women forever...

    On the plus side I have good legs and a decent facial structure and good skin tone. But, too much belly, no butt and male hands. But I still like myself.

    Pluses:
    - Spousal support; I would get nowhere without this.
    - Thin hands and feet. The feet are a little long, but all aren't beat up even though I work outdoors. Even manage to grow my nails out although keeping them shaped is tough because of work.
    - My daughter (who knows I shave my legs) says I have great legs and she is jealous. I say I have a daughter that lies well.
    - Desire. We should all have this here.

    Minuses:
    - Experience. Just going to have to keep working on this.
    - Height. At 5'11", I will have to get out a bit before I will probably want to start wearing heels out.
    - Face. My ears stick out, my nose is big, my skin isn't smooth, and the crow's feet by my eyes belong to a 6' tall crow! And there are many smiles here that I would love to have.
    - Nerves. If I tried to do this 20 years ago, I would have had a heart attack. I do much better now but I wish adrenaline was controlled conciously.

    Still deciding:
    - Long hair. Fun to play with and I am enjoying it. But I think I still look like me because a wig really transforms a look. I am now probably going to hear from those that wish they could grow their's.
