I don’t know if you were being serious or not Debs but either way I agree. I often think, why the hell people would get “excited” about meeting some lady out doing her daily activities, for example, going to the shop for a loaf of bread. Would she really want to get ‘clocked’? I know if I am mistaken [which doesn’t happen often but still…] it kills my confidence. Seriously.

I probably encounter a lot of transgender people out and about but I never really notice but then again I never say a thing…why would I want to tear their confidence to shreds?

I don’t want people running up to me going “hey brother!” <<< GTFO.

My friend is MtF [who’s “stealth” btw] and is sitting here reading this post with me and thinks it’s disgusting that people would question the femininity or masculinity of women/ men- how do WE know if they are males or females, or just lesbian women [they could well be transmen…but then again, could just be butch women] or they could be feminine men etc etc…isn’t that like an invasion of their privacy to live their lives without people questioning their motives. If someone was to run up to them in a supermarket and out them, it could seriously put their safety at risk. Not even a joke.

I wouldn’t even make a joke about this, or even think about it at all…I hardly pay attention to people in the streets anyway [because where I live in Glasgow that could get you stabbed], but I’d never even question it either if I seen someone as masculine or feminine- it’s not my business and I keep my nose out, even if they do or do not know it.

Novel post but hey ho.
