That's not the case for all women. Having lived with one of those minimalist type unfeminine wives, mine would usually just brush her hair a bit and consider it all done for casual things like just going to the supermarket and such. Not every woman makes a big production out of everyday make up, hair and attire.Originally Posted by Helen_Highwater
Perhaps not so much that it's hard work, but that they didn't count on NOT becoming the beautiful girl of their dreams, and not being treated like a real woman. Many of us dream about being a beautiful girl; and I can pretty much guarantee you that NONE of us fantasize about being a homely, frumpy woman with a male physique, facial structure, gait and voice. Yet that's what the future is for a lot of TS who prefer to ignore reality. There's only a very tiny percentage of us who could completely blend into the population as women; something is very often going to give us away. I think that great expectations vs reality is what causes most cases of 'buyers remorse' when it comes to transitioning. But yeah, it's certainly a lot of work for a mtf TS as opposed to what my ex wife's life was like most days. She didn't have to do anything to appear as a woman, being one.There are well documented cases of those who transitioned wishing to return back to the male ego because being femme is just plain hard work!
To a certain extent, the waiting is exacerbated even further, by the matter of fewer stalls vs the row of urinals on a wall. Count up both in any set of rest rooms and you'll find there are usually only half (or less) porcelain fixtures in a women's rest room vs a mans. A casual peek into the ladies rest room while the guy was mopping the floor with the door open, revealed five stalls; the men's room? five stalls and six urinals on the wall opposite the stalls.Look at the queues for the male Vs female toilets in a theatre.
