Were you ever embarrassed to call yourself a man/woman?

[Laurie]

Wolf,
... I am very glad you are here.
Moni

Oh yeah, beware of fiesty Lauries

Now Mr PW,

   I would advise you to Watch that Maonieey person. As you can see above I've taken the liberty of deleting all the nonsense from her post and only left the valid information, (though I'm not sure why one would even consider anything she said as valid.) and her slanderous pseudo warning besmirching my good name and reputation. She has a longstanding reputation for showing her animosity towards  yours truly. Personally I think it stems from her jealousy for my unquestioned innate beauty. Anyway Sir Wolfie, Hon, take my advice an pay the shady lady Meinie, no mind.

Hugs,
  Laurie

I have never been asghamed to call myself anything. However when people call me girl, boy it, it makes me very uneasy. I have taken to just responding "I am not an It, I am a *insert my name*"

It makes me more uneasy when people call me love, sweety or darling to be honest.

[PurpleWolf]

OMG thanks Moni & Rowan........ My day just started by me thinking of those two sentences:

Fair enough sir, I'll call you Wolf!

What's the time Mr Wolf..? It's feelgood time 

Then I tried to change my name but got into trouble (hence that panicky post). And I just TOTALLY got rid of that - and I'm feeling, if possible, even better than before, thanks to all you people here  !

I was really embarrassed by that post.... 

I just really feel weird. Like I'm really high on something. I'm not generally depressed - but you guys are making me feel like a million bucks. No, that's an understatement  ! I can't describe how good I feel..... I'm addicted to this site  !!!

For years & years I've basically existed only in my head............ nearing insanity. I always thought I couldn't even contact people online, coz... you know. I can't describe to you guys how amazing you are making me feel  !

Now I just go on my days constantly thinking about all the positive things you've said to me!!! I'm so grateful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like - not only are you respecting my gender identity, you are also genuinely nice to me. This's just a MILLION times better than I expected!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I think I'm becoming a new person by each passing day. I'm actually starting to believe you could think of me as a guy even if you saw me in real life  !

Wolf,
   I am glad you didn't delete that post. It makes me happy to know that your conversations on here are making you feel good. I know how cool it is when you get those first couple times of having your true gender validated by someone. Been there. I am actually glad that you are as open as you are on here. I enjoy talking to the guys on the site. I put out the thought of talking to the guys more at one point and heard crickets, so it is nice that you seem open to talk to anybody. I think both sides of the transgender coin can learn from each other and just enjoy talking. I am very glad you are here.
Moni

Thanks,  ! I'm SO open to talking to anybody!!! I don't discriminate by gender, you know,  . I'm just so high right now......  CAN'T. STOP. SMILING.

You guys have been more nice to me here than the toxic people in my life for years.......

Internilized transphobia - gone  !!! I'm starting to see myself in a new light.

So, sir, now that you've had the 5* gold smoke treatment and experienced them feels, welcome to Susan's yes, you've like a millions question posts, and been here a while, but it is something special to feel a part of something, when we have spent too long apart from everything.

Feel good Mr Wolf, that feeling is hard won.

Rowan

Oh, I'm feeling good, so so good. You are making me feel special.

I've always felt that absolute gender euphoria whenever I was treated/mistaken etc. as a boy as a child, and anytime. You just can't beat that feeling!!! Every he, Mr. etc... is just making me beam  !!! And I get that so rarely... It just feels amazingly indescribably good!!!

I had a recurring dream as a child in which I was a boy - & had this feeling!!! It's like orgasmicly good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm writing down all the things you say so I can keep repeating them in my head,  ! That's the ultimate drug for me!!!

[PurpleWolf]

I've always reminisced every little thing/occurance when I was treated as a guy. That has kept me going through all these years.

And now you are bombarding me with that! That's why every little thing you say could be the one I reminisce about years after. And now I get that all at once?!!! THAT's why I'm feeling so ecstatic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's like years worth of goodness in a just one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Christmas came early to me this year,  .

[Laurie]

Well Mr PW

  Your exuberance and enjoyment makes each of us smile too. Happiness and joy can be contagious so you can believe me when I say we enjoy it also. All of us except that Moaning lady. Heed me and be wary of her.

Hugs,
  Laurie

[PurpleWolf]

Exuberance?! Haven't been called exuberant before  !
That made me laugh!

Nice compliment btw! Always striving to be!

I do feel embarrassed even after almost 3 years i sometimes find it hard to say i'm a girl to people. But ever sence i learned that transexualism is a physiological condition that causes surtain mental issues thats the route i take for it is the way i understand it which some how makes it easier to accepted myself. Although i rarely, i mean i never talk to anyone so i never had to say it. The rare times it had happen i say I'm transexual because thats the condition i have after all being transexual is a condition wich has no cure other than to transition so why feel embarrassed about trying to fix yourself.

I didn't call myself anything around other people for some time. I wouldn't refer to myself as female for practically my entire life, if there was the option not to. I wouldn't refer to myself as male around anyone until I started looking like one. I have this thing for wanting to be in an advantageous position before I allow other people any optional information about me, or to potentially make judgements.

Internally though I'd been referring to myself as male for ages. "What the hell are you doing, boy?" is probably the most-used self referential sentence in my brain.

[kitchentablepotpourri]

I've never had any problem calling myself female. I would totally never call myself a transwoman. There were times before transition when someone asked me if I was male or female and I had to say I was male. That's what I totally hated and found embarrassing.

I am a woman, but I also realize that I am in fact a trans woman, nothing is going to change that;  and that sort of denial only leads to shame and self loathing, but as they say, to each their own.

[Chloe]

Fair enough sir, I'll call you Wolf!

Ditto!!  Oh, and btw, I try not to refer to myself as anything . . .

Been "in transition" so long much prefer to let people simply draw own conclusions!!

Must admit have been "pushing the envelope" a lot more lately! lol  'Ex" spouse's verbal abuse has been a really good indicator!

[meatwagon]

living with my grandma, having little to no experience or knowledge of typical things a guy my age should do/know, and either not passing or only passing as a young teenager/kid when I'm almost 30...  I don't even feel like I have the right to call myself a person, much less a man.
