Day to day we all get people who are a bit too forward with questions. The one I hate the most is when someone asks you what your boy name was.

My least favorite is, what do your genitals look like  :-X

I don't like it when people ask me how my kids dealt with my transition.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?

Seriously...

Maybe I should get a t-shirt that says "Ask me about my genitalia."

I get that too. People asking about my genitals.  Had one lady at a shop actually put her hand there, I pushed her down and left the store, the nerve of people.

People keep asking me about the breast implants they assume I'll be getting.

Because its genetic makeup is irregular, it quickly changes its form due to a variety of causes.

I haven't been asked any rude, stupid or insensitive questions (yet!). The most common thing I got at the time of transition was that I was "very brave"... guh. I'd usually counter by saying it had nothing to do with being brave and everything with remaining sane, then for some reason I'd start talking to them about trans men.

I think we'll end way faster asking for the intelligent questions people ask you when you're trans.

By the whay, that hoodie seriously rules.

"Are you sure you're not just gay?"

My fiancee's own mother asked me this when I came out to her. I really should've worded my reply a little better, but I think "If I were gay would I be nailing the hell out of your daughter?" really drove the point home...me and my big mouth though.
To strive to reach the apex of evolution is folly, for to achieve the pinnacle is to birth a god.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - forums need a "like" button for posts.

Hi,

Depends on how you see things and how open you are to your self and others and being a little different , plus when you tell every one  through TVNZ nation wide the net and papers plus the many groups , and gave talks about ,

.....Whats it like being different and being a female .....

i had very few ? s because   i told them first hand , for the Heading = noel to noeleena =

Those who have known me over 57 years never asked a thing and they knew me well enough to remain my neat friends one or two had some lovely ?s  and we talked about more than just  whats it like being different ,

as youll gather im very open to people and have a good repore and i enjoy my time talking with them and iv been privileged to be so open in my time explaining much about why im like this way ,and i tell people dont ever feel embarrised in asking  ,

So in my case im very much a PR person and invite people into my life to enjoy who i am and so they can feel comfortable being around me ,

i know for many they wont a private life and not have to talk and explain them selfs ,i understand that and i dont /wont expect others to do what i do or go where i go,  or be involved with the many 1000s of people  as i do . and its not for every one ,

To me its lovely  its neat and just so great to be able to do it ,

...noeleena...

- So do you have female or male parts? (x1000 infinite times)
- Do you have boobs?
- Do you have a penis?
- Are you getting the surgery?
- Is that a wig?
- Are you sure you aren't gay?
- How do guys react when you tell them?
- So am I gay if I like you?
- So, do you like boys now?
- Is transitioning painful?
