I am lucky in that I have never had any issues passing as male....however now that I am 'officially' transitioning I have noticed a few things,,,
After the article I put up on the process on my bodybuilding websites I am amazed at the number of women who suddenly feel the need to tell me that either they never considered themselves to be 'girly girls' or have never really judged people on gender when it comes to relationships (which makes me feel a whole lot better when it comes to my decision to put chest surgery on the back burner!)
Also...the way other guys relate to me who only know me as a guy. e.g. my recent moving guy who decided to talk to me about his girlfriend and his concern that my apartment move may take longer than he thought and he may not get back to her in time to get laid....lol AND the way the contracter who was called in after my new apartment was flooded this week (don't even go there!) chose to primarily address me re the technicalities of the situation and not my landlords wife who was with me at the time.....interesting observations......
