Do you pass or not?

[steph2.0]

Oh Moni! I wouldn't want that thing hanging around. After all, you didn't want it hanging around either. I'm betting Laurie threw it out years ago. I hope you weren't too attached to it?

Donica.

She used to be attached to it,  but they've since separated.

@Donica and @Steph2.0, I love it when you talk dirty! Last I heard @Laurie was still keeping company with Clyde. Michelle might have put a stop to that though. Having that thing on the other side of the country is fine with me. Amicable separation is what I call it. Beats 'a dangling participle' any day.

Keeping with the theme of the thread, I definitely passed when I VOTED today. I hope you all pass when you VOTE today.  You should have seen the feminine way in which I filled out my BALLOT. Had an older guy smile and joke with me at the POLLING place, so I was definitely passing in my cute little ELECTORAL outfit.

Subtle enough?

Below is what I posted earlier this year. So funny that we basically had the same experience, right down to the "that'll be my penis comment".  Made me laugh so much that someone else had the same thing!

"Anyway, here's mine.

I was flying from the UK to the Far East on Etihad. My passport is male and as I was flying via Abu Dhabi I thought I'd better go as male as I could. Clearly I failed, as I was ma'am'd all the way through, including on the plane (and I had a business class upgrade, so they were surely aware of my gender from the manifest, but still).

Anyway, I'm passing through security and with the new body scanners apparently they have a pink or blue button as to whether the person going through is male or female, so it can scan the body for anomalies. I go through and it beeps. The security guard says to me "excuse me ma'am, the scanner shows a suspicious package in your underwear" and I replied, without thinking (and in as manly a voice as I could muster) "yes, that'd be my penis". I don't think anyone has ever looked quite as unsure of what to do as the poor security guard, but anyway he just ushered me back to my hand luggage and I was on my way (without any search for the suspicious package).

And now, whenever it comes up in any conversation, my penis is now known as my "suspicious package". Always makes me chuckle when I think of it."

@emma-f
OMG that is so funny!   and next time....Excuse me Madame but I suspect that you may be smuggling exotic wildlife upon your person.............

[Donica]

No ma'ams here yet but no sirs either. Just a "drop it in the box and hit the road." Just kidding. No pictures Moni? I would love to see your cute little ELECTORAL outfit.

Donica.

[HappyMoni]

You ask and you shall receive Donica!





So, do I pass? As a voter? Climbing up on washer / drier for good luck with the vote. I like the picture from behind, it makes me look like I have a butt! lol

I gotta be careful to spell poll correctly.  A topic to dance around. 

Hey look, Moni's back!  Sorry about the dryer humor. 

[Jenna92]

I pass when I'm dressed as a woman. I have always been kind of feminine so that works in  my favor.

You pass in the photos. You may need to move the photos to the fabulous thread.

Of course you pass Moni! Very lovely. I probably shouldn't climb up on the washers/dryers at my apartments. Someone might walk in and think something odd .

Well, you know what my Atheist bible says @Kendra, "Let those among you who have no major appliances, cast the first stone." I could get kinky here and admit I prefer my washer. Hubba hubba! From the picture though, you can see I swing both ways. lol

@Donica, I don't think they would think you are odd for that reason! lol Maybe because of your weird theme music.

@GingerVicki I don't think I have ever thought of me as fabulous. I just want to pass as a human bean. Preferably a female human bean.

[Sky1090]

I am fairly confident in how I look most days. I have been told by not only my therapist but my best friend that they would never guess I'm not cis if they didn't know me. I'm only 5'6" and 135 and have almost zero masculine facial traits so I have that going for me.

Now where I don't pass is my voice. I was out Thursday with my friend and I was addressed properly for a while. When I opened my mouth to order, my voice cracked and everyone around us instantly went from "what a nice couple" to "she's not she". Just lived my worst nightmare about being in public there... oh well. It's part of transition. He did stand up for me and make sure the table behind us stopped the crude jokes.

[Rachel_Christina]

I pass as long as I keep my beak shut.
If I put alot of effort in I may pass to people who aren't clued iin.
Ihave never caught anyone starting in a bad way because of how I look
And If people do clock me by my voice 90% percent of the time I think they don't care. Because vanity trump's all

[GingerVicki]

People are most accepting of good looking transfemales. In my apartment, I caught many of the men and one lesbian looking through my sliding glass door. I don't really hide being trans. Hell, I just wear a shirt and let the girls loose. Not that I have much but they are obviously not male.

I guess I live around a bunch of pansexuals. It is kinda flattering but still creepy.

[NatalieRene]

I pass at work.

Yesterday at lunch heading to the breakroom I saw a guy standup, notice me and act like he didn't and then swagger down to the break room and open the door from the top of the door and then act surprised when he saw me and held it open for me.  I was polite and thanked him and then ate my lunch before heading back up to work.

Then on the way to the parking garage a guy in front of me saw my reflection, turned around and smiled and held the door for me again.

I tend to get this reaction fairly often at the office.

Among the ladies I join in on the chatter in the rest room and in the break room.

So yes I do pass.

I love then a guy holds the door for me. Kind of confirms I've killed the male look 100%. When a friend does it it's nice. When a stranger does it, I'm thrilled lol. Had a guy rush in front of me to hold the door to my therapists building downtown Chicago a few weeks ago. Definitely turned my attitude around for the day

[Linde]

When you reached a certain age, holding the door open does not count anymore.  They hold it even open when I am in male mode! (specifically when they see that I can park in the handicapped parking stalls!)

See I'm still pretty much a kid lol. I'm only 28. I'm engaged to the woman of my dreams but when a cute guy wants to treat me right, I soak it in lol

I have never really had a male Mode and I haven't had the option to try male mode in years.

[Linde]

I have never really had a male Mode and I haven't had the option to try male mode in years.

I am intersex, I can switch from one mode to the other without any dysphoria.  I am more or less gender fluid. I prefer to be a female though!  But male has advantages in certain situations.
I have no defined gender identity.  Never had it, and I think I never will have one!  Many people like I want to be addressed with they/them/theirs.  I prefer she/her.

[veronicashannon88]

I honestly don't know if I'm passing or not, since everyone more less treats me the same... Although people are adjusting to how they address me and whatnot. It's nothing I hold a gun to, really. I'm pretty prominent because of what I'm involved with locally. Most people know I'm trans, but it's been accepting.

This was me last night. Not sure if I passed or not, but a a lot of people seemed genuinely happy to see me doll up in a little black dress.





I'm going to need to start waxing my facial hair
