Not if you don't tell anyone, if you don't take hormones, and if you haven't had FFS! If you still look male then how will they know that you are transitioning? How can someone who has known you as a male all their life, begin to think of you as a genetic female just because you grow your hair and paint your nails? They will take it that you are a male crossdresser if you go as far as wearing dresses and forms, don't you think? And if you keep to pants and no forms then I don't know what they'd think and I suppose it depends on whether or not they know you. People who don't know you would likely think that you're gay?Originally Posted by STACY B
If you tell them that you are transsexual, that you've always felt you were born in the wrong body, and that you would like them to try as best they can to think of you as a female from now on, they might begin to see it that way if they see that you are taking steps to change your gender legally. But if you don't say anything, how do you expect them to know all of this?
You haven't told anyone that you are TS, is this correct? You should ask your closest friends and your family to tell you how they see you. Do they see you as a female, or do they see you as the same old you that you've always been, who now is wearing feminine things?
EDIT That sounded really harsh, and I didn't mean it that way. Just trying to point out that people generally understand very little about trans-anything, and you've got to help them along by TELLING them, especially if they've known you as a male all your life. If you don't say anything, they'll likely think that you are the same you that you've always been, except now you are feminizing yourself.
