Is it acceptance when a very casually known cis-woman walks up to you and starts talking about "boob sweat"? She followed up with a question, "Why do I get boob sweats when my boobs are so small?" That is her boobs! Very curious conversation! Help me with whys and wherefores!

Yes, that's acceptance. Don't tell me you've never experienced "breast form sweat," which is almost the same thing

What do I do on days when I don't crossdress? I have no idea.
I have a friend who is an out and proud transwoman who is nonetheless a fairly conservative person. It is pretty funny to hear her express her shock at all the things women in her circle will say to her, now that she is accepted as "one of the girls".
I am a vessel of the goddess. Let me express my calling to a feminine life through nurturing love and relatedness.
It could have been worse, Lana Mae. Once when I was shopping in a Goodwill shoe dept in drab, a woman began tossing heels in my direction.
Saying, "These would look cute on u. See if these fit? What about these?------"
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!
Lana Mae, Has to be acceptance. I don't see a cis-woman who doesn't know our secret having that conversation with a man.
Please call me Jamie, I always_have crossdressed, I always will, "alwayshave".
It's a new world these days, but I grew up in it that way, as I worked in hospitals with nurses, and lots of other women daily, and after a short while, became just a fly on the wall to most of them. I was routinely exposed to all sorts of over hearing discussions going on right at the lunch table, or in the back room where we all wrote up on the charts, about all sorts of intimate details about their bodies, clothes, and behaviors in their lives. I remember well, a few times when someone said something to me like, (when I was the only male around) that 'don't worry about what we're talking about, you hear it all the time, it's just like you're an honorary girl'.
While I know they meant it as a sort of excuse, they didn't know how much I treasured being told that at the time.
Some causes of crossdressing you've probably never even considered: My TG biography at:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1490560
There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.
Maybe it's acceptance.
Maybe it's just that she had no filter.
Maybe (JUST maybe), she was trying to get you to look at her boobs and say something nice (a clumsy attempt at flirting?)
I vote for acceptance, but I wasn't there. You'll have to judge for yourself, I guess.
I would say boob talk with any female that is not your SO is acceptance. Made me wonder if she could thought that if she had larger breasts then under boob sweat would be acceptable? Lol. But I know what she means, the struggle is real.
I agree that it is probably acceptance of you as a woman, assuming they assume you are a GG. Kind of like grabbing the brass ring on the merry-go-round. But even if not a GG they accept you as a woman even if they think that maybe you are trans. Perhaps a hint that acceptance of transwomen as effectively women is more common know than even in the recent past. A sign of a bit of progress in spite of all the naysayers active these days.
Biologically, breasts are mostly composed of fat and fat can retain a lot of heat. Thus they sometimes sweat to cool off a bit. With the bit of gynecomastia I have due to age and testosterone suppression with prostate cancer treatment, I have to admit that I notice a lot of warmth now in that area and a bit of sweat as well. Back when it was a thin layer of fat over muscles that sensation was rare. Now it is more common as the fat layer is 3 or 4 times thicker.
Long ago when women went around topless as they do today in some cultures it was maybe not noticeable. But with the invention of the bra a couple thousand years ago it is sort of like putting a coat on the breasts to shape them and keep them from flopping around.
But I suggest you take it as a complement. A kind of statement of, "Welcome to my world."
Yes, you have definitely "arrived", Sister.
Calling bigotry an "opinion" is like calling arsenic a "flavor".
