I didn't get ma'amed today. But I did have a car load of guys yell "What's up Baby? Woo!!!" and wolf whistle. I thought for sure they were referring to some-one else. So I looked around. No-one else around. Then I heard one of them say "Shut up dudes, your scaring her." Then they drove off and I continued to the store felling rather perky  :laugh:

Sorry Sandy

Do two nons make a habit?

Very bad religous pun

I think I need to run away.

Cindy
If the nons are not in their habits, that might mean that they are at the rectory.

At least that is what the bad little boys at the Catholic school said...

Well, Virginia, that sounds like it was even more than ma'am. :D  No wonder you were perky.  :laugh:

Perky?

I would glow in the dark!!!

If that ever happens to me I'll be ready to pass on - life won't ever be any better...

Well, it was a real cheat but i got my first today. I went to another town to check on a few jobs and took some makeup and a change of clothes for the drive back.

I stopped in a McDonalds for a drink along the way back and as I was leaving and older couple was approaching the door so I stepped through and held the door, with my back to them and the old man said "thank you ma'am" as he passed.

*warm fuzzies!*

(even if he wasn't seeing me from the front)

Yup, a confident walk and pouty smile from the knowledge
that you own the ground you stand on goes a long way.

good advice indeed. :) I get ma'amed all the time now- I think it's the boobs, they're too small to be fake LOL

That's hilarious.  But you know, I am done with breast forms.  Mine are in the same condition as yours.  I think it is a lot more natural at this state to just wear a padded pushup bra and let things go.  Just not into:

I walked out of the house today putting practically no effort into looking girly.  I was ready for some funny looks.  Instead I got ma'amed where ever I went.

Go figure!

That is the objective if you are transsexual. I used to work doing gardening and no matter what clothes I was wearing  (even pre - transition) people would say 'look there's a girl doing the gardening'.

I never wear glam clothes and usually wear jeans and T shirts and no make up and I am called darling by men. I believe less is more and it's much better to look natural in everyday situations.

It seems like I get ma'amed more often when I am dressed down. If I go out in a tank top and jeans It's like every person I talk to ma'ams me at first but if I'm wearing a dress they noticed something is off about me. It probably has something to do with being way more paranoid about people and there reactions to me when I'm trying.

I agree, and you are really echoing my previous post Courtney.

I also think some TS's have a male stereo typical view of what a woman should look like and tend to overdo things with clothes and make up rather than taking more time with observation and experience.

Truthfully I think its just people picking up on how scared and anxious I am. I seriously think I may have some sort of social anxiety disorder and feeling like people could "clock" me just makes it worse.  I'm definitely not prone to stereotypical behaviour and I don't really dress over the top.

Where I live, the local university students go about visiting folks. Everything was going fine until they asked me my name. Well, Virginia goofed and I gave my birth name. They looked shocked and confused. Then they looked at my boobs. Then they looked back at me like I was lying to them. It was a bit of an uncomfortable moment. Then they saw someone they visit regularly and went to visit them.  :P

What does "visiting folks" mean? You're not in assisted living or something, are you? Do they just go randomly about knocking on strangers' doors?
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

I heard this a long time ago:

"Three women are walking down the street.
Which one wasn't born female?

The one wearing the dress."

I've been to the cusp of doing the same thing. If I hadn't been able to
bite off the end of my tongue, I would have embarrassed myself also.
Just curious how long had you been in transition when this happened.

Ya, and that too.

Well, OK, I was reluctantly placed in a Housing facility due to injuries incurred. I could barely hold a glass of water with both hands for several months. My sister retrieved me from San Diego and helped with the arrangements. It is still difficult for me to lift much, but I am doing much better. But hey, I'm walkin' and talkin'. Can't cry too long about stuff. Life goes on. The students visit as part of their schooling

Wow. It's nice to see some one thinking so positive.
