First Reading As A Female

First reading as a female?

This just happened to me and it was soooo unexpected. I was addressed '"let me help you sweetheart." by a porter on a train. It was my first "moment" to be addressed as a woman. It was devine! And it was accidental as I wasn't exactly presenting in public at the time, but rather had spilled some pills in the sleeper car and some had gone under the door. I was dressed in a gown and my hair, which I am growing out, was all curley on my head from the pillow. I didn't have on anything else (blush) and my feet were bare - manicured and painted toenails - as would be any matron just preparing for bed. The curtains were pulled and I had to open the door just the tiniest bit. I was on hands and knees picking up the pills. Perhaps the porter caught a glimpse of me in the window glass reflection through the open door, I don't know. I suppose the cues were there - he came to my aid - addressing me as he would a woman. After handing me a pill or two that had escaped into the foyer, he moved on, never knowing anything different.

We talk so often on this site about being read in the way we don't want at all - being 'clocked,' I have heard it called.

But what was the first time, in the other direction, being read as female? Or where you were just gender neutral and called female? Or the strangest case, where you were in regular male clothing and called female?

Ahhhh. And how did it make you feel?

That quesrion applies to us MTF - and can be reversed for FTM.

In a restaraunt with my mother - approached from the back - full male mode including a brush on the upper lip (moustash is so hard to spell) and she asked , "What would you ladies like to drink?"

The next time was the very first time out in public, the first time that I went dressed to my therapist's office. When I was leaving the Fedex man held the door for me and said,

"Ma'am."

I felt wonderful!

Love ya, fun post,

My first time was on halloween a few years back my wife & I were @ a mall out in Dallas when we were living in TX & we walked by one of those kiosks w/ the ladies that always want to see your hands just so that they can tell you that they look nice but they would look better w/ there product, I hate them, but back to the point lol, when we were walking by one of the woman said to us "excuse me ladies!" & I was dressed as a woman it made me so happy, & more recently IE last saturday I was husteling to my transfamily meeting out here in Clevelnad @ the local LGBT center & I was running kinda late 'cause I work 6 days a week & I got a wolf wistle on the way there I almost blushed I was so proud of that happening to me but I am going to be starting to live as a woman when I am not @ work next year, I would do it @ work also but my boss isn't LGBT friendly in the slightest to say the least.

Ah..this is great, Lizzy!!

I remember years back I was walking through a parking lot in a mall in San Pablo Calif....I had my hair down (no ponytail) and I was very skinny....Two guys started calling out a girls name and I looked around...only a moment later did I realize they were yelling at me! OMG they thought I was her!..Well they ran up to me and said sorry, their mistake..(blew my bubble), but, it was great at the the time!! Oh, those fleeting moments of pure joy!

Well, that's ok...next time they'll be calling.."HEY! DONNA JEAN!!!

Blissful Donna Jean

Liz. last week I bought a bra and no "man" clothes to hide the bra in. Felt relaxed and presented myself that way. The lady clerk called me sweettie. I was so happy I told everyone here. You were on the train about the same time this happened to me. We are all growing and at such a great time in our lives.. Love ........Mia

I like the topic also. Last Thursday I spent the day "out. Shoe shopping, Wal-Mart, the mall back to Walmart and then grocery store. I was addressed as maaam and lady and sometimes I couldn't tell if the people were just being polite or if they couldn't make me. it was all very serial. So cool after all these years of being afraid. I guess getting older has some benefits. It felt so good to be out and just be me.

It happens to me more often than not, now. I work in a hospital and have 2 patients with crushes on me. I've been addressed as female at work and out to eat, even when I'm not trying.

It feels great!
