It Made My Day - trans edition

[Alyssa M.]

I got cat-called by some drunk guys in a car while I was walking half a block from my car to my office in the dark. "Hey, you're a sexy <expletive deleted by engine sounds as the car drove off>." It Made My Day that much more scary and unpleasant. Oh, the joys of womanhood.

I'm standing next to my mum when her friend asks "Is your daughter around?"
My mum replies "She's right here.." And the woman looks at me and blinks, "Oh.. Right..!"

Of course it will do more when it can be corrected with "son".

I was playing darts with some friends last weekend, and when one of them came out of the washroom, she said "wow, for a second there I was wondering who that guy was playing darts with [other friend], I think I'm really getting used to seeing you as a guy!" IMMD

Came out to some (important people) and they're still the same with me, still supportive. It continues to make my day. I might get this mess fixed.

Yesterday I posted a picture of myself in a "passing tips" topic on another forum. This morning I woke up and checked it. Someone had replied to give me makeup advice, thinking I wanted to pass for a girl. IMMD.

Got called "mijo" (not by my mom of course, but it's still awesome.)

Lost track of this thread but my Census Job has provided many instances of IMMD:

1. Just tonight one of my crew - upon hearing of a death in my family expressed her condolences to "my husband and his family" - either I've fooled her this long or she was gracious enough to adjust her language - either way;

2. Last night I was in a Wendy's in the county where I used to teach and the checker was a girl I had in class a couple of years ago - she showed no sign she recognized me, or even clocked me;

3. Women at the office who, for paperwork reasons, MUST know of my defective anatomy have no problem finding me in the ladies room and treat me in all respects as one of them;

In fact, only one person among all the people I work with struggles with the pronouns and you can tell she's trying hard.

All of these make my day....

I had my arm around my SO and we were asked if we were gay. I answered "maybe."

I bought a couple things at a shop for the drive home from Reykjavík yesterday. I payed with a card.
The woman at the register ran it through then glanced at it and did a major doubletake.

Definitely the best thing about this thread is it encourages me to think about the good moments in my day, rather than the bad ones. Here's mine. 
Yesterday I got my hair cut short, since then I've been called "he" at least a couple times. I'm not even sure if I'm trans, and I'm not exactly trying to pass as a boy, but it felt good.

I was with my boyfriend holding hands... (we are an interracial gay couple) and we walked past this car.. and they shouted out at us.. "thats ->-bleeped-<-ing wrong!" (not sure if its b/c we were black and white, or gay)

and my boyfriend.. quickly responded by turning around, sticking out his tongue like he was making out, and put his hand at his crotch and pretended to jerk it, and then throw "semen" at them.

It was freaking adorable! but.. the part that made my day.. was 1. That he stood up for us so quickly.. and 2. That.. I probably passed as a gay guy to those people in the car.

The other day while at a dirt market quite a few ladies tried to sell me boys boxers. Not ONE person asked if i wanted to buy a bra/any type of womens underwear. Minus the part where my brother says "Shes a girl" It was pretty great.

Well, it technically didn't happen in real life, but in a dream. My dream, was that I was in a sort of group session, maybe it was specifically for transfolk, maybe not. But I remember telling them i was a transexual, a crossdresser, and a homosexual, and was nervous about saying it so i sorta said it all at once to get it out there was was laughing a bit. But then no one said anything bad really, they just acted normal, someone even kinda made it funny saying something like 'so wait, this is confusing. a transexual, ->-bleeped-<-? haha is that right?' And then there was some people I regularly talked to on msn messenger and stuff, like friends.

it was real nice, being about to tell people in person and be accepted and such.

[rexgsd]

well we were castrating lambs for class, and i had been marking them with the spray to tag which ones were being castrated. but i wanted to try the actual castration part. and i forget exactly how it was said, maybe like "give him the clamps'" or something to that effect were it "should have been" her, but they said him instead! ^ ^ then i never corrected her, and kinda wasnt paying attention anyways, then they didnt even relaly correct themselves, but another girl kinda did like 'you mean her?" but not making a deal of it.

so even though it was 'accidental' it made me feel so good! especally because it makes me think maybe secretly subconciously i give off male vibes and they just said 'his' without thinking cause it really fit. i mean, i was wrangling little rams and gettin dirty and stuff.

oh yeah, also i got some of the marking spray on my hand, and someone said something like  'guess your next!' and i was like "uh oh..." XD perfect, and they laughed too.

I ordered a packer and it shipped on the day I ordered it.. and

I got the courage to call a therapist, and while she called me "miss" and couldnt take me in, she did give me two references of gender therapists.. and

my Dad seems to slightly being a bit more accepting, enough for him to give me advice on calling the therapist and what to say to her.

I was wondering if you has started T yet at all?
Just wondering
