I've re...I got a very masculine vibe from him. I've really not figured out what that was about. I just thought it was so odd. The other guy was noticeably uncomfortable around me, yet he followed me out to talk to me. I think it was kind of brave to do that. The other guy probably made fun of him for talking to me when he got back. <br /><br />I like that paraphrased quote thing. As much as I generally dislike blanket statements, there seems to be a lot of truth in that one. A lot of guys who approach me online eventually admit some form of gender dysphoria, or if not, then some strong bisexual tendencies, or both.ms.shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10804709919987506302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492301101861096075.post-43150154894070135632010-04-03T12:53:21.418-04:002010-04-03T12:53:21.418-04:00As I was reading this post, and got to the ma'...As I was reading this post, and got to the ma'amed part, I almost said out loud...YES!! To be presenting as male but validated as female, well that does tell me that you are one lucky girl.<br /><br />The incident with the friend of Sophie's was, indeed, strange. Perhaps he is trans. Perhaps he is an admirer. Perhaps he is both. As Alice Novac said in her book, Alice in Genderland, "Inside every admirer is a tranny" (paraphrased and written as I recall it).<br /><br />Calie xxxCaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280127011882954777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492301101861096075.post-37040802378667248072010-04-01T07:01:09.350-04:002010-04-01T07:01:09.350-04:00There's one left, but that is another blog.

"Can I take your order man? Oooh, parmesan tilapia! Totally tubular!"<br /><br />Seriously though, I never eat out with Mom and Dad. We do travel together some, but Mom is very fond of grabbing fast food and eating in the car. The first time something like that happens in their presence will probably be really emotional.<br /><br />The men's room is already a bit scary for me, presenting male. I've got some really weird looks, and some other things have happened. That is actually an upcoming blog.<br /><br />The thing with someone checking the door sign gave me a smile. I've experienced the opposite. I was at Cracker Barrel once, and as I left the bathroom, a girl approaching the restrooms glanced at me on my way out and started toward the door I had just left through. She realized she was stepping into the men's room just as she was about to touch the door. Hehe!<br /><br />Also, another bathroom story! I was at a McDonald' once, in boy mode, and everyone there was looking at me. As I approached the restroom an older lady waiting in line nearby was staring at me like I was a demon or something. There was a tiny janitor's closet between the two restrooms, less than 3 feet deep. She made me so nervous I got confused, opened the janitor's closet and I just stood there a sec before I figured out what was going on.

Whe...Most women focus on imperfections quite a lot. When it comes right down to it, you may be your own worst critic. And I LOVE not passing as male! So welcome to the club. :) <br /><br />During the Summer of 2006, my parents and I went to NC to visit my daughter. Once we got down there, we went to a local restaurant where a waitress was calling me ma'am through the whole dinner. On the way back up, I got ma'am'ed at another eatery. Unfortunately, I had to use the men's restroom at rest areas because my parents were around. I got a lot of scary looks from guys in there, and on the way out, a man walking in saw me, stopped, and backed up to look at the sign, making sure he was going into the right restroom! All this with no makeup, shoulder length hair, male jeans and a plain t-shirt. To this day, my folks tell me they didn't notice the waitresses calling me that. Yeah, right! Denial anyone? So I just figured I'd share. Keep up the good work on being yourself! :)Amy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01731056254476935306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492301101861096075.post-56216069842408490942010-03-31T02:37:10.901-04:002010-03-31T02:37:10.901-04:00I understood your analogy, Shan.

The anorexia comment was such a bad comparison and I'll have to go back and write it more clearly later. I really didn't mean to imply that I am anorexic but that I have a similar tendency to misinterpret my own image based on insecurities. Only, not about weight. WHen I look in the mirror, I tend to focus on the heavy bone structure, the too wide nose, the heavy eyebrow arch, and the hair line that isn't shaped quite right. <br /><br />It's really a bad comparison to make, and its a little too abstract. It was late and I was sleepy though! :P<br /><br />I'm definitely not anorexic. I've actually been letting myself gain a little weight over the last two years. :)<br /><br />So sorry about the confusion.ms.shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10804709919987506302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492301101861096075.post-86816623954366217142010-03-30T05:10:12.514-04:002010-03-30T05:10:12.514-04:00Honey, you do NOT need to diet..!

It's about freakin' time, girlfriend! We have been telling you this for months. At least you're starting to hear us now...<br /><br />Anyone that knows you as a male is pretty sure something is up with you. Those that don't know you don't automatically see a male, regardless of your clothing.<br /><br />What an interesting life you lead, sister.Leslie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15373261212549008939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492301101861096075.post-4259311128450921412010-03-29T02:28:34.928-04:002010-03-29T02:28:34.928-04:00Congratulations!

This is something that I have struggled with my whole life, even at 5'11" and 9 stone I thought I was overweight. Please don't start a diet though - that is the one thing I have always managed to avoid.<br /><br />I'd tell you how envious I am of how slim you are, but I know from personal experience that is not going to have an effect...<br /><br />StaceStacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.com
