I’ve got a stupid grin on my face!

So, Yesterday I needed to take my guide dog to the groomers and then go to the clinic for NI.N.R. Since I am on anticoagulants and how thick or thin my blood is needs to be checked periodically.

Anyway, I was using the local Transsit bus to get around. After I had dropped my dog off at the groomers I caught a different bus to go to the clinic. As I handed my ticket to the bus driver a lady in the back of the bus said hello and I made my way back to my seat. I was having difficulty with the seatbelt and The bus driver offered to come back and help. At this point the lady who is sitting right across from me said you know I think she has got it to which the bus driver replied has he? I was still fighting the seatbelt and she asked me can I help you with that dear? So come in just a exchange where the lady kept referring to me using feminine pronouns and the bus driver kept trying to correct her with male pronouns! This went on for a few moments As I fiddled with the seatbelt and finally got it snapped in place. I was not dressed overtly feminine that day I was wearing a women’s Columbia sportcoat and my hair was tied back in a ponytail, and I was wearing a pair of hoop earrings and a diamond in my ears. I was also wearing a pair of women’s league Ryder jeans and a casual pair of Naturalizer wedge shoes with about a 2 inch heel.

I was listening to this exchange between the bus driver and my co-passenger and I was thinking to myself hush up and let the nice lady talk! LOL!

I think I just had my first male fail!

All I can say is:SQUEEEEEEE!!!

oh, that felt good!

 

how about you ladies would you share the first time that you were recognized as the woman you are?

 

(((((HUGS!)))))

Thank you Kathy Lauren for your reply!

I need to make a correction the Columbia coat that I was wearing was not a sports coat it was a winter coat in fact a parka sans hood. Darn dictation!

I look forward to having that experience again!

 

 

I noticed that the forms have been awfully quiet, I wonder if it has anything to do with the virus outbreak.

Anyway I look forward to hearing of your experiences with mail fail ladies.

 

take care and stay well and safe!

We do tend to ebb and flow so nothing to worry about!  Also many people are preoccupied with family and getting news now.  

 

As to male fail, nothing spectacular with me as I experienced it a lot throughout my life, particularly when younger.

Please excuse my ignorance but what do you mean by “male-fail”.  ???
 

it sounds like the bus driver was a jerk for saying those things even with the attempt to assist you and the other female passenger was saying things correctly.  Even defending you to a point.  
I have not had one person yet treat me any other way then female once I started to live full time as my true self.  I know I e been lucky and the day is coming that some one will err.

Actually, I was working as a cashier at a hard goods store presenting male still back in the early 80’s. I normally worked stockroom but they were short of cashiers who were always mostly women. Some guy was buying a few things digging in his wallet and wasn’t paying close attention. He said to me, “Hello Ma’am!”  You’d think I’d be offended and give the guy the ‘evil eye’ but I was in heaven at that very moment.  It was clearly his oversight but it felt so good I simply smiled and said the usual, “Hello, D’you find everything you were looking for?” After answering...He smiled and sort of gave me a odd look like maybe he was wondering why I didn’t correct him. Lol..and there just wasn’t enough time to explain to him why.

 

Well, you asked...that’s my silly story for the day,

Susan R?

It's when you are not consciously presenting as female yet are treated as such in actions and words.  You've failed looking as a male.

Ahhh Ok it makes sense now.  Thank you.

 

I guess my first experience was when I was very rudely gendered correctly taking a parking spot.  I apparently I "stole" this guys parking spot and he yelled at me 'Dumb Punt!" (but with a "C").  Very rude.

I was dress for work in my guy golf apparel with a jacket on.  I had no makeup as I had not started using it yet but I did have my wig on. 

I said nothing but used "sign language" to thank him. (middle finger).  LOL

My first experience was at a supermarket as I was checking out. I was called "ma'am" by the cashier even though I was wearing jeans and no makeup. I was wearing my wig though.

      Of course we do.  The few friends I do have are almost exclusively cis or trans women. I think I could have a relationship with a man, but he would be kinda "other" to me.  Could be interesting though. I never have understood guys - even when I was trying to be one.

      Our government is huge and could, and probably should, be streamlined. But we are living in 2024, and not the late 18th century.  The founders did provide for updating the Sacred Constitution.  And it has been done on occasion.   There is a lot going on, and I don't want to be a single issue voter.  But I feel that it is being forced on me as a matter of my survival.

      How about if we get back on topic?

      Many women my age wear their hair super-short, and I don't really have a need to have it long.  Longer in places where I can't grow it, if it is long  No aspirations to be a supermodel here.  The mustache would have to go before the wig comes if I ever did that.  I am threading a narrow path.

      Not all evangelicals condemn people for being trans.  Some evangelicals are even trans.   He can pray for you all he wants, that is fine.  I will personally take all the prayer I can get.   It sounds like he has been reading or listening to John McArthur or the SBC.  Not much you can do. Pray for him.

      It'll come in waves with hormones. I have noticed that when I apply a fresh patch and the next day comes I feel euphoric and towards the end I feel really bad and dysphoria kicks in. I still feel body dysmorphia of what I have and can't wait till SRS

      One month here. Huh.

      "entries from “citizens who have changed their gender” will not be considered"   Considering that trans people don't "change their gender" but rather may or may not transition to some extent to affirm their gender, this rule seems superfluous.

      They make supplements for hair growth I have been using one for four months and it is now at 6" long when I had nothing before. Although I take more than the pills. I take growth spray, oil, and a supplement that is added to a drink. My hair is very healthy. Unfortunately it's very curly so it'll take longer to grow

      That's a toughy to say. But I do know that it's an area for improvement with me. I can get pretty down on myself sometimes. I guess I have to remember that I'm human just like everyone else, not perfect. And that's okay.   Lots of love, Timber Wolf 🐾🪻

      Good morning    On this date in 1972 it was a Saturday. I  made a pledge to love and honor my wife and keep her forsaking all others.  I have kept those vows and here we are celebrating our 52nd anniversary still together.  Still caring for each other through sickness and in health.  Still sharing our lives.   Other than that, it’s another day near the beach.  80 and mostly sunny.     I found a ‘17 GMC Acadia yesterday I want to take a look at.  It’s a bit more than I wanted to spend but it’s doable. Only 69k miles on it, with the low mileage I put on cars these days it probably won’t ever hit 100k if I do beget it.  Low mileage now is  likely because it was a leased car at some point. Those usually get pretty good care and not a lot of miles.  It would be similar in size to my Ford, 7 passenger seating but a more basic trim which is fine.  It only has a 4 cyl engine so potentially rather under powered for a relatively large SUV.  The ford has a 4.0liter 6 which is a bit large for cars these days.  Instead of full time all wheel drive, it apparently has 4 modes, 2, 4, sport (what ever that is, I presume it’s over drive turned off) and anti slip.  It’s probably not going to happen but I am keeping my eyes open for a good deal. The old Ford is just that, an old worn out Ford.  Since I bought the Ford I’ve only put about 10k miles on it in 6 years.  My daughter once had an Acadia, top trim package.  When she was driving back and forth to work close to 100 miles per day and going to Philadelphia every week another 500 or more.  For her the miles added up fast.   still keeping my eyes open.  This is about the right age and size but I was hoping to spend about $2000 less.   Other than that I hope to meet with my minister today about paper topics for my class submission.   Other than that Monday is laundry day so I’ll be doing several loads of laundry today.     I put on a neutral gel nail polish last night.  I tried this before, however, I don’t believe I correctly understood the how to get a good result so I was more careful this time.  All I want it’s to give my bpfinger nails enough strength to grow out just a little and stop tearing.   Well, I need to call to make an urology appointment.   @Birdiei was born in Ohio and until Lamda Legal sued them you could not get a sex change on a birth certificate for any reason.  Now you can.  In South Carolina a name change requires $300 and a form filled out and filed with the clerk of courts.  But a gender change requires a birth certificate with the new gender listed.  I am hoping they will permit gender X eventually but right now the state is too Red to do any such thing.   Willow
