Hi;
Yes like Eva Marie, I have found that it really is like being in a different club. Some 25 years ago before I moved to Australia, I lived full time (as port of my Real Life transition). I was on HRT then too and I worked for what is now a UK Bank, but then a UK Building Society. There Head office was in Bletchley, near Milton Keynes. I started in the Accounts Department as a part time Secretary Receptionist, but eventually got promoted into a job as a full time secretary to their in house Legal counsel (a woman). All my fellow co-workers in Accounts were women and on tea breaks, coffee breaks, lunch times even after work, I was treated totally as just one of the girls, in all conversations. What amazed me then was just how much cis women discuss their intimate sex lives, periods, boyfriends partners.. I had confided in two women there , but it was almost as though I had been inducted into secret women's business club. It was the same with my next door neighbour - Maggie. She introduced me to a group of her girlfriends who met for dinner at a local pub and then get together in the evenings. Maggie had explained before that I was TS and we'll underway with my transition, including living full time as a woman and on HRT. At first they were a little curious, but by the second time out, I was just treated as one of a group of women friends. They always commented on how nice I looked, my dress sense and how nice a bag was or a pair of heels All the talk was about boyfriends, sex, fashion, makeup, guys film stars) romantic holidays, men, babies etc. I loved every minute of it. The important thing was that once the other women had got over their initial interest, I was just treated totally as another woman with no holds barred. Maggie once said if I was brave enough to go full time, dress and work full time as s a women, take female hormones and eventually have surgery to create a woman's vulva, clitoris and vagina, I should be totally treated as a woman and someone that had seriously abandoned the male privileged world and should be embraced by all feminists! Sadly she moved to San Jose in California and I lost touch with her!
