Passing starts from within

Hi all

Passing as a term in crossdressing or being ergo Transgender, meaning to be accepted.   

 

Passing starts from within, i used to video myself after i was dressed to see myself, the way strangers would see me...to pick out points that might of had me clocked. This method helped greatly in my earlier days.  Now, obviously dressing feels more natural to me.  Dressing as a guy is feels more un natural to me.  I seem to get by rather well these days.   People i meet, normally very polite..if i need change..they will say, there you go love.   I get wolf whistles...hey i love it...why are women so deadset against recieving them lol.   

 

If dressing feels not just comfortable, but feels correct and natural on your body, it will fill you with an aura of positiveness and self confidence, and it's this confidence that projects out to other people.  For if you have these feelings in place it will feel so natural and you will feel like a natural woman. Confidences shines like a beacon, just beware of complacency avoiding male mannerisms..practice until its second nature.. uneducating from male and practicing everything female.

 

 

Regards

 

Melissa

Thank you for your post.  The beauty of this journey is that we can find such a comfort with ourselves and the world that the worry about passing disappears. Funny how self acceptance appears to bring the acceptance of others.

 

Hugs,

This "uneducating from male and practicing everything female" caught my attention and my interest. Do you have any advice or wisdom for those of us who are completely new and naive to MtF beyond our own private bedroom?

Heathick I would spend time watching people to see how women carry themselves and move differently than men.  Also notice now women speak, in the inflection and tone they use.  You don't have to go "over the top" and get all super fem.  Most women are not, they're just themselves.  You can be also.

Me too on above, it can be very validating, however many cis women feel that this type of recognition is "objectifying" them as sex objects (it's a thing). Eventually you would grow tired of it. My daughter is an "attractive" young woman, she tells me she is burned out on "-excited- guys".

it's the region of the brain that overanalyse every little trait of mine to purposefully find reasons to be dysphoric

I love the Mary.  When i no longer thought about myself and gender i think that might have been an end to a process.  My mind went back to all the old stuff filling it.

Yes, this is me!  I was telling a friend just yesterday that I just don't think of myself as transgender (even though I am).    I just think of myself as me.   

 

What was the old announcement on TV?  "Now back to our regularly scheduled program."  Ahhhhh!

Wolf whistles Melisssa - Nice to hear. I have not had any but have had someone whistling tunes, including 'Pretty Woman' lol. Not for a while but I don't go out quite so provocative now. I have had my teenage years lol. I did a little bit of video early on as well to see how my walk compared. Clothing can be seen in a mirror but dynamics cannot easily. After a while it comes more naturally anyway.

      It certainly could be classed as dark humor.  Unfortunately the sentiments alone must hurt young trans folks.  Decency and reality doesn't seem to be in the GOP's vocabulary.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Good morning all,    It’s a frosty morning here the lawn looks silvery, and the uncovered spring flowers have icy edges on their leaves. The only flower bed I covered was my tulips. As nice as it is here during the day, our clear wind free nights allow the temperatures to drop into the mid twenties. Here in our growing zone it’s recommended that you not plant delicate plants until Mother’s Day. Central Indiana can have snow as late as the third week of May. The birds are active at the feeders, I’ve had my cup of yoghurt and morning meds. So I’ll sit here, drink coffee and watch the as the sunrise chases the frost from the yard.    @awkward-yet-sweet I could eat black eyed peas as a side for every meal. Boil them plain or with fatback. Served as a leftover, just add in a little Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies.  Make the best of your day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?

      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.
