Why do so many of you girls always refer to yourselves in the third person? If I said 'Celeste is going out now', I'd question my own sanity. I am me, not somebody else. Just curious, let me know the rationale.-Celeste

I don't know. I'll have to ask Annabelle.
It's a way of avoiding responsibility. Anything bad that Clayfish does is not my fault.
For me it's because my gendered selves are very separate and rather distinct. Over these last few years we've discovered the personality differences between my two genders and they are treated as two sepearate persons. So, when I am in male mode my wife and I will talk about Tina, and they will talk about me. It just keeps things in order
I am wondering if it has anything to do with the CD versus the TG , as some CDs like to keep the two personality's separate so they will refer to them as a separate person whereas the TG is inclined to think of themselves as one person with a duel identity .

I agree...it seems a little odd to refer to oneself in the third person. I do not. I am me...regardless of how I happen to be dressed. Of course, I have the advantage in that my given name is Kimberly, so I don't have to differentiate between myself en femme and my self otherwise.
Ellen would never refer to herself that way......just sayin.
All I ever wanted was to be a girl. Is that really asking too much?
To me, it is just a convenient way to indicate that I am talking about myself in an "en femme" state.

Yeah, what Eryn said. I don't think many of use the third person in everyday conversation, but when we we're discussing TG issues and need to differentiate between our guy and girl sides/states/presentations, I find that third person is the easiest way to do so.
Celeste have you seen my hairbrush?
Do you mean my hairbrush?
No, mine.
No, you can borrow yours if you can't find mine.
I'm not looking for yours, I'm looking for the other mine.
Can't they both be both our mines?
Not if they're mine, or yours...
Could it be that we only have one hairbrush.
No, you have one, and I have one, so that's only one.
But it's mine.
Which mine?
-See what I mean?- LOL- Celeste
We wants it. We needs it. Must have the precious.
They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitses. Wicked, tricksy, false!
Steph doesn't like talking in third person- ?????

I guess for me, I really do feel a split personality thing. It's part of why I know I'm really different. That part never really troubled me at all but then I was pursuing a career in counseling and knew lots of really different people that made me feel very ordinary at times.
Evidently, many of us are followers of Victor Von Doom.
Second star to the right and straight on till morning
I've caught myself doing that a few times and it just seemed odd.... like talking about someone else..... behind her back.. to her face. lol.
I do this a lot and so does my g/f.
It is weird but Rachel is the girl side and my girl personality. I mean in some ways she is a separate person. She is not the "guy" me but the "girl" me.
I know it sounds crazy but it is hard for me to be both at the same time. I am either in my Rachel "head" or in my guy "head". Sometimes i can actually feel the transition.
I accept this now and understand it better as time goes on. I only wish i was brave enough to allow myself to have my girl side many years ago.
But better late than never, I guess.
maybe sometimes when I am drab and shopping or planning for Sallee but not when I am Sallee. Then the other guy is 3rd person.

Oh no, there's a third person I can barely deal with the two of me as it is!!! Jaymee
It used to puzzle me when I first met Trannies. One would say as he got ready that he was going to take Pauline here or there and of course once Pauline was in place. Pauline did all the thinking for herself. Others acted similarly. It was strange to me back then and now because I'm the same person dressed or not. Although more realistically I allow myself to be myself when dressed as a woman. As a man I'm playing the role of a man, not altogether successfully.
I'm sure there's a psychological explanation for it. Maybe it marks the difference between TV/CD and TS?
It is done to differentiate between male and female identities I would assume.
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.
I always call Amanda my evil twin.
That is funny Amanda because I always refer to Michelle as my evil twin also. She does like to be more adventuous too.
wow! What could be more adventurous than deciding to go out wearing womens clothes? LOL
