So I got "ma'amed" yesterday.

[Starla]

Keep in mind, I am pre everything. My weight isn't where it should be, but I am looking forward to dropping pounds and getting in the best shape ever. My hair is about shoulder length but I had it pulled back in a bun.

Anyways 
Yesterday my little brother and his friend were outside, they are both 8. I asked them if they would like a piece of pizza and his friend replied with "Yes ma'am" 

I just smiled and turned around to go get their pizza. It was kinda amazing, to be honest. Gives me hope.

And kids are often the harshest judges. Congrats.

Wow, that must feel wonderful!

They should have said, "Yes miss" - you look nowhere near old enough to be a ma'am.

As Grace said, if kids see you as female, you're doing something very right.  Congrats!

Congratulations.

Kids can be the best. They can be brutally honest and have absolutley no sense of tact.

Sounds like somebody has a crush on his friends big sister

The first mam is confirmation that you are doing something right! 

I almost missed my first mam. I was getting food at a place and the guy that took my order mam'ed me when we were done. At first I thought that he was talking to someone else and then I realized with a shock he was talking to me

[Starla]

Thanks everyone! And I thought the same thing! Like wow children rarely hold back and are some of the most honest creatures on Earth 

But yes it was a good feeling.

sorry please don't take this wrong, but I'm a little confused is the avatar you or just another picture of some one else. I'm just wondering because there would be no question about being ma,mm'd if that's you

The woman in her Avatar is Lana Del Rey.

[stephaniec]

thanks  I was a little confused why she'd be worried about being seen as a woman

No, that's NOT me. It's one of my favorite artists Lana Del Rey. I wish it were me! 

[Ginny]

I just stumbled on her work a few weeks ago. I like the rythem of the music she puts out.  Anyways, to original topic: Congratulations, there's nothing quite like that first "ma'am" to make you feel all giddy inside.

[Goldfish]

Congratulations      Heck, double congrats as you're pre everything and that is not easy 
Not sure what that would feel like. People don't 'sir'/'ma'am' in the UK, or at least the parts I've been to. Anyone have any idea if there is some sort of equivalent?

[Ginny]

My Lady? Madam? Ms? Marm? Mrs? 
I'm pretty sure any of these could be used.

[TaoRaven]

feels great, doesn't it??

I've been getting "ma'am" pretty much exclusively lately.

And the other day, a kind southern gentleman even called me "Miss Roxy"  ...I about melted....lol.

[Handy]

You just wait; once you get on HRT, it will begin happening more and more (in boy mode!). I've been really lucky in that whenever I've been really down/GD has been getting to me a ma'am hasn't been too far off XD

Enjoy it, roll with it, and be proud! You're doing something right!
