Don't notice.
OR...don't care.
Or both?
Makes no difference whatsoever. I call it ACCEPTANCE.
Also, I may as well throw in, I personally have never been "harmed" by what anyone was THINKING either, although I can't speak for anyone else. Of course, there are some folks here who believe they can read minds, so maybe they would be hurt?
Long lacquered nails, my son once asked about them, told him because of meds I'm on they always split to the quick, which is true. No more said. Once at a check out line, the guy behind be was asking me about an Orchid I was buying, we got to talking and he noticed my nails, asked if I played guitar, I said no, we went back to talking plants.

Magic is the art of changing consciousness at will.
the reasons people don't notice and people don't care are true, but I think a 3rd inclusion is people aren't expecting a "guy" to be wearing nail polish, shaved legs/arms, a bra, etc so they aren't looking for the cues to think anything is different. Plus, if your not trying to 'hide' something and acting like nothing is wrong, then they also don't pickup the cue hence even less likely to notice/say anything. I was standing in line at a fast food establishment some years ago. I was wearing a blouse/slacks etc - my usual fair. The lady standing behind the counter taking my order while we're talking simply reaches up to her collar and feels her buttons and we continue to talk. No change in her countenance/demeanor, but I knew that she knew...

I know what you mean.. I have yet to push the boundries of shaving all summer long but I have made many trip to the Casinos with womens jeans in womans sandles with different color polished on my toes . I have been everythere to well lit hall ways to the casino floor to buffets and no strange looks. I did have a bunch of drunk guys snicker once and laugh as I was walking towards then with a deep purple color on I have worn bright red,pink,violet I have yet to wear that real bright almost floresent pink cany polish out. I am wearing Mascrea alot more with some hint of I lid color in guy mode and still no one maks any comments , it is they are affraid to say anything or the actually don't care or actually don't notice. To me how can't you mis a 6' guy wearing womens sandles with a bright color polish on his toes ????
Begining to actually believe poeple who say no one really looks or notices things and its mostly self projected fears, i guilty of projecting just about any thing on to anyone just from a quick glance i feel busted but it hasnt happened yet really .
Had comment st family and friends bbq when i first shaved my legs 12+ months ago not a peep since ,never had a comment about shaped eyebrows and they really are different very bushy normally,grom my arms down to 1mm not a word and its really noticable im the wolfman usually,all little baby steps on my journey to me and im terrified each one that ill get read,think im risking it more and more now i started underdressing my forms only my little b/c cups when im out walking my dog i was scared but now i think on it im not totally bothered if i get read weird isnt it.
My whole TG ism seems to be a test or an experiment for me.
Since 2007 I have pushed the boundaries in one way or an other.
Shaving my arms and legs, wearing what are obviously womens clothes/casual shoes.Jewelery that is obviously for women.
I started wearing my butt and hip pad girdle every day a couple of years ago and I figured that was going too over the top but no my friends figured the fact I had lost weight maybe some stayed on my hips and butt IDK.Obviously have a more femme figure than a male figure.
My close friends I'm sure have noticed but have not said anything.If they were to ask I would tell them about me but I am leaving it up to them.
I have found the general public oblivious to me while out shopping and doing daily stuff out and about.
I was worried too about anyone seeing my trimed/shaved legs this past summer. Like the other posters have stated, no seemed to notice. I was pretty happy about that!!
