A while ago there was a things I love about being a female thread, but what are the things you hate/dislike?
For me they are:
1) Boobs past 5pm on a working day
2) fly away hairs, its gail force winds here today, even with my hair tied back, theres always a fly away hair.
I think I've gotten used to the taste of hair products
3) Hair products! I would say in my bath room I would have $1000 at a time worth of hair products alone, I'm talking about 3 types of shampoo, conditioners, detanglers, hair sprays, dry shampoos (OMG life savers in your bag), creams, straightens, curlers, an instyler, hair dyes, you name it, its in my bathroom taking up room, but I need it.
4) Pressure from other females. You can have everything going for you on a night out, but have chipped painted toe nail and you know you'll be judged.
5) toilet clues. Have a few drinks on a night out, you'll miss half the night lining up to go to the loo. Not only do you have to wait for so long, you always ending up getting the 1 toilet that the biggest pig at the venue just used and theres always pee & the other stuff on the bowl, in some cases the seat and you should buy a lotto ticket if shes flashed.
6) Shoes! Now don't get me wrong, I f*ing love my shoes, but guys have it so much easier when getting ready, they have a pair of runners, casuals, a pair of dress & a pair of thongs. Me, I have 5 pairs of thongs, I have so many flats that I'm sure there are pairs that I call "shop donations" where I pay for them, get them home and never ever wear them. They'll send you broke!
7) Toilet paper. Thanks to Costco, I've halved my spend each year on toilet paper, but boy oh boy, do I go through that stuff.
8) Bruises, before I started HRT, I can't remember ever bruising, I can go out on a night and end up black & blue from nothing.
9) Earrings getting caught. Why on why does this happen? It didn't hurt when I put the blood holes in my ears, so why does it hurt so bad when an earring gets caught and ripped?
10) Make up! Boy do these companies have us by the ladybits! You spend $1000's on it each year, use it everyday, yet by chance the expire date unless comes before you've finished the product, do you risk it? no cause the smell.
11) Weather, its cold, no matter how padded that bra is, people can almost get a weather update by hard far out your nipples are.
Its hot, you sweat in the following places. between your boobs, under you arms if you are wearing something that will show it, your panty line, upper lip (or anywhere where the make up will run).
12) jack arse's. These are guys who think they were solely put here to service the sexual needs of us women. They come in all shapes & sizes, but you can tell who they are by the smell of CK's number 1 & the over use of the word "laaddddieeessss". If you say no you'll be branded a "slut". classy breed they are.
13) Vagina maintenance. this is for us post up girls, who would have thought that that little thing could be so much work. I learned the hard way the other week that using dishwashing tablets as clothes washing powder is not such a good idea. I now feel like a little catholic school girl, every time I get a sexual thought, a bolt of lightening hits my ladybits.
14) dud roots. Yep, we've all had one, I not talking about the ones who just can't get you there, I'm talking about the ones who right up until the act you want them, then they're that bad that you start doing a dinner plan for the next month in your head, remembering to say every 30 seconds "ohhh yeah, that feels good".
15) Filling up your car at the petrol station. You know that if you've done your nails in the last 48 hours you'll chip one, you know if you're wearing something nice, you'll get fuel on you, you know that the guys waiting behind your car are making some sexist comment about the pump, the fuel tank and how you handle that well, you know that the service station guy is waiting for you to mess up so he be some sort of hero.
16) Bobbi pins. Now how on earth can I buy a packet every time I go shopping, yet never find one when I need one, but you can bet your life on it that on your way to the loo at 2am you'll stand on one.
17) Sport. Now I love sport, I love playing it, I love watching it, but the effort you've got to go to to play it with boys, you somehow need to look good, while wearing a sports bra that I'm sure are a great idea, but is it safe to stop breathing while running? You can't watch sport with guys as well, they always make dumb comments you give you shocked looks when it looks like you've got a great point.
18) other females. the catty-ness, the bitching, the endless shopping, the talk about the most pointless things on the face of this earth.
There are times when I would love to say "Yes you look fat in that dress, but you won't listen to me anyway and me stopping you from buying it will only give you a reason to bitch about me behind my back". I hate other females who won't eat something because it has 1% fat, they make a huge deal about losing weight, yet when you call them to go for a jog around the tan, they're not in the mood.
Eating or not eating will not lose you weight.
19) Babies, I'm sorry, but all babies look the same, I find all babies under a year ugly, I don't think they're cute and just because I have female hormones running through my body, doesn't mean I need to see, comment, hug, hold or want one.

Just a little fun
Yes! I'm single
And you'll have to be pretty f'ing amazing to change that

Nothing at all, all of the lil hassles do get annoying sometimes but I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm just used to it all I guess.

But for the sake of this thread there is one thing that makes me feel a bit lame and that's getting all dressed up for a night out, only to go home early. Like for example if I'm leaving the house at 9, I'm getting ready by 4 so that's about 5 hours total, most of which is spent on my hair since its pretty long, past my boobs. 30-45 min in the shower (shaving) and another hour on makeup, letting it sit and then going back and making sure its all in place. My eyelashes are really long so the eyeliner smudges badly after an hour or so of blinking lolol but after that initial hour I go and fix the smudges and it takes awhile for it to do it again since by that time the eyeliner is dry. But with my allergies I sometimes tear up so the process starts all over again, thank goodness for q-tips.

I don't ever go to straight clubs though, so I have a pretty drama free night out, no inappropriate touching/remarks from creepers.  I stick to the drag bars and gay clubs which I have yet to encounter any issues at all at those places.

- Wearing a bra, specially a push-up wired bra
- Lack of strenght
- Slowed metabolism
- A necessity to match shoes and clothing
- Good Make-up is expensive
- Not straight hair requires high maintenance
- Clothing is not a "one shape fits all"
- Two hours doing my nails.
- Men
- eyebrows maintenance
- Footwear not compatible with most surfaces.

And I could go over and over...

I've gotta say zilch. Sure there are some annoying things or people or whatever, maybe I'll get sick of them eventually but I'm loving everything so much at the moment that even the crappy things don't bother me all that much.  :)

I am still not on HRT, but I say it is the appearance work. You just have to put lots of work into it and it's tiring. Like making sure you don't eat that chocolate donut  so you don't get acne, putting on creams everyday, lotion, ohh and shaving, which you have to do 24/7. I hate shaving with razors, but depilatory creams suck.

Getting ready out to go at night must be very time consumming. Then there's the psychological and emotional stuff, like being moodier or more pain sensitive. And the cattiness from some women. Although I think men can be as catty, they just don't like to admit it.

i love being a woman.. and don't regret the path I choose to transition... but there are a few things that sometimes irritate me.


How long it takes to get ready in the morning... beside picking out an outfit... also need to put on makeup and do my hair... even showering takes longer, since i need to shave my pits, legs and private area and then put moisturizer on my legs...

breaking a nail or chipping my nail polish.

I miss not been able to take my top off in public.. especially on hot day.. and boob sweat can be gross.

Woman can be bitchy..

Enjoying ride the hormones are giving me... finally becoming the woman I always knew I was

I love the time it takes to get ready. I hate the time it takes to get ready! When I was a male impersonator I couldn't have cared less what I looked like. Since I transitioned, I doubt if five people other than the Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses who come to annoy me have seen me without at least some makeup and earrings. My hair is almost to the middle of my back and naturally wavy or curly, so I have tangles within half an hour of washing my hair. Worrying about my weight all the time, and failing to lose what I've gained since my brother passed away in july 2013. I pretty much love everything about being a woman. It's been worth every second during my three years and two days full time. "It's not just a job, it's an adventure!!!"
These three years have been the best of my entire life
ones I've been able to live without lying
and the only time I've had since the age of twelve
I haven't constantly thought about dying

They're right next to all the hair ties. Oh wait a minute, where did they all go too?
Oh that's right, they're with all my hair clips. Oh great! Where the heck are all my hair clips?
Well here is the pile of broken ones that I for some reason never throw away. Maybe if I get some glue...

Nothing I hate/dislike compared to what I hated/disliked about being a dude.   There are minor annoyances, but nothing I can't handle.

Electrolysis, not being able to lose weight as easily and creepy, predatory guys are my top 3 annoyances.  Oh, and bad hair days.

I don't really hate anything about it, but I will say that daily eyebrow maintenance and having to watch what I say are kinda annoying.

I will say that I got a lot of laughs from my perv friends when I said that I can't wait to get home and pet my kitten because I miss her.

what do you mean?

Well most of my friends are giant perverts. Occasionally something can be said that you wouldn't take as sexual, such as my example of wanting to go home and pet my kitten, that they all twist into something that is sexual. In my example I was talking about my cat, 4 paws a tail and meows, they took it as petting my other cat with two lips and a clit.

Disclaimer although I'm not post op, my friends don't really care and act as if I am instead of still having the birth defect known as a penis.

This sums it up for me as well!  :)

I have noticed some strange things though like:
1. Hair is magnetically attracted to lipstick.
2. Makeup has a remarkable ability to adapt itself poorly to every single light source for the worse.
3. With long nails hose will not run until all the way up and adjusted to look good.
4. That one last eyebrow hair you just have to pluck will unbeatably be the one you should have left alone.
5. There is never a sale at the stores for anything when you actually have money.
6. Waterproof mascara is a total lie.
7. Noxzema in the eye should replace water boarding in interrogations.
8. Dogs do not get muddy and affectionate until you wear white.
9. The ground can be hard and dry for months until you wear stiletto's.
10. You will never, ever get a stain on old worn out clothes me matter what.

So far, the time I've spent living as a woman has been preferable to my previous 26 years as a guy in every single way, so I'm not gonna complain.

Only getting a few wears out of a pair of tights, my hubby has socks for years that never wear out, ladder resistance tights still ladder, getting out of a cab last Friday, laddered my tights, a small nail in the seat did the damage, it's embarrassing, can ruin a whole look, I was lucky it was just above the dress hem, hubby rarely buys socks, never wear out, I ladder an expensive pair of sheer tights that get thrown out, the expense of being a woman, and that's only tights ???
If your going thru hell, just keep going.
