Seriously, Shelly you look great. You have that caring, cool and hip soccer mom look written all over you. CIS passing all-the-way.
(And your arms are not muscular at all. What the heck are you thinking...!)
Thank you so much!! This means very much!
I like the soccer mom reference....though I can't stand some of the other soccer moms LOL I really don't need to be attractive, pretty,young looking or anything else all of us women wish for....I just want to be natural. I think for the most part I am viewed as this. The few times I have posted pics on here I have had similar responses of looking cis like.....it's just hard to view myself that way when I still envy many other cis women, especially the young girls....gawd I wish I wish I would of transitioned at least at 25!!
Thanks again! and your are looking very well yourself.....and so early on HRT you will be happy with the changes. I think having more hair on the head and less everywhere else is such a positive feeling....it makes a world of difference in how one feels about their self, this in turn helps present a much more positive impression.
I also receive cis comments unintentionally from other cis people in just the way they say things. Just the other day I was doing a very "manly" job outside UGH!! and a neighbor (not mine) came over to see what I was doing....ugh I was thinking oh I hate when people get all snoopy. Well the first thing he said was "well obviously your not a man LOL and then proceeded to tell me how amazed he was that a women was doing what I was doing. He was very nice and it was a compliment, he told me how his daughter does a lot of her own work as well. The thing that bothered me was that ...Why can't a women do what I am doing!! He even came over when I was done and was so impressed that it turned out good. Again this was all nice to hear and I'm sure he meant well....it just felt he also thought I also wouldn't be able to do a "nice" job. I didn't express my thoughts to him and thanked him for his compliments....but in my head I was like......
