Mistaken For A Girl.

“Excuse me miss” These were words that I heard today directed at me >.<

I was really surprised. I haven’t been mistaken for a girl since I was little.

(mistaken may not be the word to use since I am a girl, but you get the point)

I was just dressed in my usual fashion walking back from class. I had my arms

across my chest since it was cold. So I saw this lady trying to get the attention of

people walking by. Then this lady looks at me and says “Excuse me miss”.

So I walked on by holding in a huge smile. People on campus usually try to

drag people into things with my experience. Anyways, after that I was smiling

all the way back.

So I guess this means I passed without doing anything.

Just had to share this experience with everyone.

That's great!

Not only did you pass without doing anything, but without trying to pass.

You didn't approach this woman with the idea in mind of "I hope this woman thinks I'm a girl'.

You were just being you.

There is the secret to passing! Just be you!

Love ya,

Sally

YEAAAAAAAA

Happened to me twice now - and I am 6'2:

Sally is right - the sweetest times are when you don't expect it! And when you suddenly understand you are finally getting it down in just living day to day

Great for you!

That happened to me 2 years ago @ a mall in Dallas TX I was so surprised when it happened, even though I shouldn't have been 'cause I was in fem mode :P but I was happy about it for several days.

Went for a drug test for work and when they called my name they said this way miss. Are you kidding and I wasn't even thinking of passing. I laughed and they said "I'm sorry.'' I said " no no that's fine and that was cool.... B)

Thats great, talk about a way to make a good day great. The best part is you were not even trying, I guess everyones right the best way to pass is to be yourself.

My friend has been mistaken for a girl before, but yeah that is great.

That is so awesome Sara especially since it was unexpected and weren't trying, being yourself works. I am sure you were walking on clouds all day, I know what it was like a few days ago when I passed on the phone so I can imagine it was even better for you in person. I am so happy for you :D .

Hiya B)

That is totally awesome Chic. Ive been on HRT and full time for over a year and I still smile everyday when I get miss or maam. :lol: It sounds so insignificant to a gg but to us its like a a final justification of who we have always been. Rock on girl and be yourself

*hugs*

      People who are out publicly, and openly transgender, maybe on HRT, having changed names and gender, have a lot to lose if anti-trans politicians take power.  They have openly called for our eradication, and promise to do everything they can to accomplish this.  (again, 2025) For someone in this position the election is about our survival.  It's foolish to delude ourselves into thinking "Oh, they don't really mean that.  It's all for show," or, "There's other more important things to concern ourselves with." Maybe for some people the other things take priority.  But if you have skin in the game, things look different.

      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name.

      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      Thank you so much April!

      Glad to hear it. Abby

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.

      What a wonderful photo! You look gorgeous!!!
    • Justine76
      White crop top and capri jeans ;) Finaly tricked the face id on my phone, "that's not you" lol.

      This is my opinion, so take it for that. Fatigue is based more on what you eat. Eat a more healthy diet, and stay away from ultra-processed foods and that should help. Think of eating the way we did a couple hundred years ago before the industrial revolution. It's just a thought.   Jennifer

      Welcome back, Jennifer! As a relative newbie to the forum and to transition, I look forward to getting to know you and share in your experiences.
