I'm not in it for the gender-screwing, but...

Put on muscle.  A lot of it.  I'm still trying to lose it - my arms still are about 14-15".

Why would I want to do that?

Today a kid called me pretty and I over heard two five year olds discussing whether I had a penis. (A conversation I found a little disturbing). I don't think I've femmed up recently, I wonder what it is.

I think you are beautiful... just from the words you have shared with us over the years. There is more to true beauty than the exterior shell. I know it sounds like a cliche' but it happens to be true. Besides, your pic is adorable. As for kids and their comments, I'd take them in every positive light. Teenagers speak whatever is on their mind without social conscience. Most of the time, they should be ignored.

Kids are funny though, plus they say weird stuff to their parents.

As we to them.

Ofttimes you don't need to gender-screw people, you can just let their own perceptual filters screw them for you .

Here here! The other day I was in my male-presentation mode, wearing a baggy tshirt, hiking boots, my chest and hair bound...and my favorite tye-dye skirt. I got a ton of weird looks and it was AWESOME. Love making people think.

i think my hair color has them thinking more than enough for now. the people around me are rather conservative, and everybody knows me, so i wouldn't want to try and get too funny looks from them

but playing around with new looks would be fun in the city. dressing just the way i want to with no regards to what others think is appropriate. i'd need secret shoes though, if i'm to feel comfortably presenting male. my height really isn't anything to brag about
