I've recently been feeling kinda gender dysphoric (for want of a better term), and i'm wanderring round here comparing experiences.
I just realised though that i've already done a few of the things that are a big deal for a lot in the TG group, but it didn't mean anything to me. But that's cos though there were kind of gendered they were also practical.
All the events that come to mind are from when i first started going out with my boyfriend and he was living in an all-male college. so in the course of events that involved me using male bathrooms, and even going out in public dressed in male clothes right down to the underwear. I guess i was in an all male environment, but clearly in a female role?
Using the bathrooms at first i just held on, but when i started staying to visit longer i just gave in and used the gents, my only feelings on the matter were that they were often quite dirty and they had no hand towels, and almost none of the guys washed their hands, but at least that left more soap for me.
At least once i went out in public entirely in his clothes. I had stayed over the night before unplanned but needed to be somewhere that afternoon i think. I didn't have spare clothes, i chucked what i was wearing in the wash and went out to get breakfast and conditioner in a full set of his clothes. All i remember feeling was uncomfortable because they didn't fit very well, and i think i had forgotten to put shoes on so the road was very hot. And a bit embarrassed at my lack of bra, I'm too well equipped a woman to get away with that, and that was also a bit uncomfortable. But i guess that's cos i was FAR from passing, especially with my large unrestrained bust.
Have you ever gone out dressed for some sort of practical reason of it just being better than naked? Ever made a quick trip to answer the door in your wife's pink dressing gown? How did it make you feel?
