My experiment...

[pocoyo]

I am thinking of ordering some take away food to get delivered to my place, from a food place I've never tried before... and giving my boy name, and just greeting/paying them/recieving my food as a boy.... (another part of the boy side of the experiment eh Cap?!)

Well... I did it, but the bloody food took so long to arrive (2 hours) that I felt so rotten from not eating that I didn't even hardly manage to eat much or enjoy the food because my head was thumping so much. Maybe I'll feel better when the 1st wave of food hits my system...and go back for 2nds

Unfortunately I didn't have to give my name so I couldn't give my male name. And I put my boy voice on (which sounded really lame) but managed to carry out 3 phone conversations and one face to face conversation with it.
The guy didn't show any sign of whether he thought I was male or female but seeing as I had a bit of "stubble" (I knew I could get away with it as I was meeting him in a dark car park), sideburns, and in male clothes I hope he thought I was a boy.

It was such a pain in the ass 'cos I felt so rough and they took sooo long. While I was waiting I kept being paranoid that my boobs were slipping forward (and so maybe would show).... I hate that. And I was really anxious about meeting him in the car park 'cos that meant walking and my balance was feeling sh*tty. So I wanted to take my dog... but that was a stressful thought too because she barks at strangers. So in the end I was so hungry and relieved when he finally called to say he was in the car park I just went down there on my own... and my balance was fine and I was just boyish. Didn't enjoy it very much though because I just felt bleh. If he'd said "thank you sir" then that would have perked me up and made my day, but hey.... at least he didn't say "thank you madam".... :D now THERE's a cool thought :D
(And the Indian people here are so polite that they probably would say thank you madam).

It was actually hard work, because I felt ill & anxious and because I felt all uncomfortable with my boobs and stuff. But I'm glad I did it because it will give me confidence to know I can do it again. (Actually interact with people as a boy in real life instead of just being all quiet and reckoning they think I'm a girl but hoping they think I'm a boy).

[Edit:
Obviously if I transitioned I wouldn't actually have that uncomfortable "making a huge effort" problem because the boobs wouldn't be there and my features would be more male, and my voice would be too. (Just added that because I heard my mum's voice saying "So isn't it just so much easier to just stay a girl?")

Been craving being a boy very much this evening. Ooh dear.]
