Before T and passing, mates! 12 years old for life!

Mates!

 

I'll try to answer your messages and comments on other posts as soon as I find the time. So many notifications!

I just really want to share this with you right now.

I'll try to be brief. It's five a.m. and I didn't sleep last night so... I've been awake for a long time. Tired as hell now!

 

First thing's first: I cut my hair today and it feels brilliant!

It's so weird.

I entered the hairdresser as a girl and left as a bloke.

Bloody hell, mates... It's seems that I don't need T to pass! 

 

Something extremely surprising happened to me today.

There I was, short hair and boyish face, walking into a store. I had a paper bag on my right hand which had something with an alarm inside. Basically, I bought a product the other day and they forgot to take the alarm off. So, every time I entered a store, there it went, the "Beep!". 

This time was no exception. As soon as I walked into the place, the alarm went off. 

I looked around, searching for a store clerk, wishing to warn them about my "cursed item" and ask them if they could store it somewhere, so they wouldn't think I was trying to steal something from the shop. 

It seems that I looked confused from an outside perspective. I couldn't find anyone.

There was a girl who worked there though that I had yet to notice. 

She approached me cautiously and with a worried look upon her features. She got close, stopped and said: "Son, are you alone? Do you need help finding your parents?"

 

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

That! Happened!

Not only did she call me "son", she also thought I was a bloody lost child looking for his parents.

 

Mates, I'm 24. I'm 24 years old. 24! 

And physically still female!

This was brilliant!

My lips turned naturally into an awkward crooked smile (yes, my smile bloody changed all of the sudden and naturally, with no attempt whatsoever).

I did voice work in the past as well as play boys in Theatre. I know how to make my voice appear more, not "manly", but boyish (not toddler like though! shiver... like a 14/15 year old). So, happy and amused as hell, I answered. "No, miss. It's just me. I have a blablablablabla alarm thing blablablabla..." 

When it comes to the child issue, in her defense, I'm 5ft tall.

 

But yes, that happened!

 

Oh. Just changed profile pic. Attempted a natural smile. Failed. It seems that there are things that haven't changed. Smiling for pics... Forever a failure.

Peter Pan!

A dream many of us have shared at least one time in our lives.

If I could get back to that place, I would in a heartbeat!

Congratulations on your new-found status.

"Peter Pan" that's cute! Exciting times huh Oliver? You're off to a great start with a nice haircut and that affirmation fromthe store clerk, feel good for you mate!

You can definitely hear the excitement in your writing!  This sounds wonderful to experience something as validating as being gendered as you want to be.  Congrats!

Congratulations! Being correctly gendered always makes me smile too.

 

I've heard FtM's complain about the being mistaken for being super-young before. Probably why so many grow beards when they can.

 

I wouldn't worry about the picture. If I take a good one, it's a happy accident. I can't "look natural" on purpose to save my life. Cute is completely out of the question.

 

I'm very glad you're happy. It makes my heart smile.

 

Hugs!

      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."

      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.

      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.
