Way older than I thought Jess.  You must be hiding about 15 years somewhere.

You are gorgeous.

Just got ma'am-ed in the pharmacy in my work clothes while picking up my second month of E.  Then got called a lady by two little girls by my apartment's pool in the same clothes.

I play an online web-browser based text rpg and I told the clan I am in that I am a MTF Transsexual. I checked the clan page today and saw my name under the Females section. IMMD

A week or so ago, I was in the car with my mother and sister. My mother was talking to my sister and I when she ended her sentence with "..girly girls" (when addressing us)and then she quickly added "...and girly guys." (she's still getting used to addressing me as a male).  XD
Then just this week, my friend told me that her gay friend was interrested in me. Thats never happened before!
And last week, I was in a play and forced to wear make-up. Some of the girls in the play put it on for me and I looked in the mirror and cracked up. I looked like Eddie Izzard! IMMD

While I pass fairly often with strangers, I'm not out, and people I know don't see me as male. But I was called "sir" today by a librarian who's known me pretty well for years. She immediately apologized, but it still made my day.

I got on a bus yesterday, and when I showed my bus pass, the driver said 'Cheers, Mate' as I got on. It made me smile.

well i was playing left 4 dead 2 on xbox live and i have a headset and i wasnt really talking much but when i did someone said something like 'hey, he talks!'  oh man that was so exciting. i dont know exactly how long they believed i was a guy though, they might have thought i was a girl eventually, but i wasnt talking much and *attempting* to have a semi-male voice, which i dont know how to do at all haha. but either way, that was awwweeesome! ill have to keep practicing, that might be a good way to see if i can pass voice-wise!

My fiancé FINALLY gave up trying to get me to shave my hairy legs. xD [Hasn't come out to him properly yet... >.>]

My first packy arrived today, and I came out to a friend who said that today should be like a birthday, but a 'Boy-Day', with boy-day presents, boy-day cards, boy-day cake etc. xD It made me smile, bless'er. xD

I was waiting outside the bathroom at a restaraunt for my mom, today, and a cook came out of the kitchen. He looked at me, looked at the the door to the men's restroom, then looked quizzically back at me and asked, "Is it occupied?" assuming I was waiting for it to open up.

I was just wearing cargo pants and a (not very masculine) T-shirt. No binding, all my usual sparkly earrings were in... it made my day so much that I was hardly even phased when my mom started rambling about what a girly little kid I was on the ride home. |D

A nurse I talked to on the phone and saw and talked to at the hospital was giving my daughter a shot. The shocked look with a actual double take, when my daughter called me mom, was precious.

It wasn't today, but a few weeks ago.
I went to a club with two friends of mine that were girls.
The club charges more for guys, and when I got to the counter, the woman charged both my friends for the girls price and charged me for the guys price. It was one of the first times that I've been seen as a guy [when I'm dressing as one], not a tomboy-ish girl.

Went to buy a train ticket today, asked the man behind the window for the one I needed, blessed him when he sneezed, I pay for my ticket, and then, with a smile on his face, he hands me my ticket and says, 'There you go, young man!' 

That REALLY set me up for a great day. xD I had to go see my doc while trying my hardest NOT to grin like a blasted cheshire cat. xD

There's this really shy ftm at support and this not so couth dood that's just completely insensitive about his pronoun usage and, well, respect to the t's that are there in general. Up till now it's been fine, but the other day I could tell that he hurt ftm's feelings by calling him 'her' like ten times in a row and then calling him out for 'really being a girl'. He says, "she'll always be 'old name' to me." ftm got up to go the bathroom and I got up the courage to politely tell him that he was out of line. This lead to some discussion on being respectful in general and accepting people for who they are and all that. Anyway, ftm comes back in and proclaims he heard everything and told dood to his face that he was indeed a he and that he better recognize that fact. It was a proud moment for all of us, I think.

My sister had a hard time accepting my transition, but over the weekend we were sitting together, talking.  She's looking at me as I chatter on about something and then says: "You look really good.  I'm a bit jealous."

This made me smile I love it when someone says something they think is insignificant, but to you it makes your day

I know, right! Still cheers me up when I think about it any time I'm feeling a bit off. ^^

I went to Sally's Beauty Supply that other day.  And my "Sally's Card" had expired.  The Cashier said "we can renew it".  "If you are ex-military it is free, or if you are over 55 it is $2.50".  I said "that one", referring to the over 50.  She said " I would have never guessed", I told her I was 56.  She still did not believe it.
