What has been the silliest thing you’ve done so far during your transition?

[Donica]

Yes, I do to several times but yet I miss some still.

Well I use the Tapatalk app so I post, reread, and hit the edit button - sometimes five, six, seven times.

I just know I'm my worst critic.  Most of the posts I read, if there is a typo, I gloss right over it and go on.

My female alter got caught in a rain storm at the beach about 7 years ago. Looking like a drowned rat in a bikini and wet tee shirt, she ducked into the first door she could to get out of the storm and use the bathroom. It was a bar full of drunken Navy  guys who's ship just got home from deployment; the bathroom was at the far end of the bar. Every eye in the place was on her. Beet red, she did her best to smile and ignore the whooping and wolf whistles...

Awesome!

Having been a drunken Navy guy in a previous life, I can affirm that you helped them transition back to the World.

Now I know this is a silly one. I've spent the morning going over some of the comments I've posted in the many threads that I frequent. I realized I need to do a better job of proof reading my comments before I click the Post button. That's not just silly but embarrassing to.

You've done it even in this one! 

Hugs, Devlyn

I proof-read just about everything at 150 proof. It's always better, to me, that way

I would say thinking the hormones would magically transform me into a beautiful princess was one of them

I am sure I am missing something here...

Actually picturing a drowned rat in a bikini has scarred me for life...

That's It! I'm dumping the wine in favor of freakin Vodka. Or better yet, Bacardi 151. Oh wait, I have an appointment with my Endo next week. Maybe I'll wait till after that.

Thanks babe! But I'd say hormones didn't have that much to do with that.

-The only woman in the ENTIRE place
-Hair sloppily pulled  back in a scrunchy
-What was left of her mascara in racoon circles around her eyes and running down her cheeks
-A sopping wet tee shirt that barely covered her bikini bottom clinging to every curve of her body like a second skin

It's not the way a modest girl wants to be seen in a room full of men, let alone MY the fear that one of them might realizing they were ogling a man in a bikini....

[Alice (nym)]

ah... I got you now... I was thinking surely the point of a bikini on the beach is that at some point you take a dip in the sea... so why would it matter if it rained.

Hmm, I've done a lot of silly things during my transition and I'm sure there will be plenty more silliness as time goes on.

One thing that happens to me a lot is taking more time to decide what I'm gonna wear to go shopping than the time it actually takes to finish the shopping trip, then regretting that I wore high heels. Or making sure that I'm passable and looking good when I'm taking out the trash because I might meet a neighbor during that minute I'm outside my apartment.

At one time I apologized to a woman for almost bumping into her but then it turned out that I was a little lost, turned the wrong way at the top of the stairs in a hotel and I almost bumped into a wall, covered with a big mirror and I didn't recognize myself in the mirror. I felt quite silly after that but I was also happy that I passed in my own eyes

I've done that before. I think the most recent time was when I stepped out of the shower and saw my refection in the mirror. I kinda looked at it and thought "That can't be me can it?' But of course it surely was and that was the time it all clicked I was being foolish worrying what other people saw because even I couldn't see a man! - and I'm my own worst critic.

The time before was when I walked past a shop front and saw this woman walking in the reflection. I thought to myself wow she looks good be nice if... then I realized i was being silly cause she was me. That had me bemused for a few days.

[jkredman]

I think it's great that you see a beautiful woman in the mirror.

I'm looking forward with hope that I get to that point.
