Lol.....had the same thing happen when I first started transition.  The assistant called to me, "Sorry that is the wrong change room".  Instantly my heart stopped and I assumed I had been clocked and was being told to go to the male rooms.  As I turned she said, "That's the mens, ladies is over there" then pointed me in the right direction.  I made a comment, "Oh, the men would have loved me wouldn't they" then continued on to the correct change room leaving her laughing.  It does make you realise you probably don't look as bad as you think.

When you're being hit on by someone old enough to be your grandfather.

And here. Some random drunk/weird customer yesterday where I was working for a few days.

A male friend of wayback said to me the other day: "What ever you are taking is working," I was surprised and blurted back: "What do you mean?"  I can see he was out of words, but I just stood in front of him, he finally said in a low voice: "well, you kind of turning, you know..hmm, hot." I said: "well, tahnk you for noticing me," and smiled.

A local woman's group from the predominant religion in your area start to leave fliers and invites for their activities at your door    Even worse, you kinda want to attend some of the activities

There is an obnoxious child screaming somewhere in the supermarket and the check-out chick says to you,"It'd have to be a male!"

Scene**

In the ladies room quietly taking care of business, I get a text, phone is on silent, "business meeting moved up 30 minutes"

Me audibly "Dam it"

From the stall next door "Sweetie do you need a pad or something? "

Me " Thinking ?? "

Me " Yes please "

a hand with a pad from under the stall.........

I quietly wait until I hear her leave.........

Two things happened lately.. I was getting a prescription filled and they made me initial this form that I wasn't pregnant and didn't plan to become pregnant.

The other is a married couple I have known for years (that has been very supportive of my transition) all of a sudden a few weeks ago the wife got "weird" about me spending time with her hubby (no more than I have for years). Seems she now sees me as a threat and through a mutual friend accused me of trying to "be the other woman" That totally came out of left field for me!  I have zero interest in him in that way and already have a boyfriend I have been with for almost 3 years and she knows that.. Sad that it looks like I lost a good friend over this but did feel good that I'm good looking enough she was worried I might steal her hubby away from her!

When people mistake you for your wife and sons mother? My wife looks like she's in her early 20's despite having just reached 30. Some had even taken her for being in her teens, owing much to her height and baby face. Twice now people have referred to me, when speaking to her, as her mother!

I was pleased and somewhat chagrined at the same time!

Or when people ask if a guy you happen to be somewhere with is your husband?

[justmeinoz]

"Or when people ask if a guy you happen to be somewhere with is your husband? "

You could answer a la Julia Roberts in 'Pretty Woman',  "No, I'm just using him for sex!!!"

When you're in the wedding party and all the groomsmen say you're better looking than the other bridesmaids and buy you drinks to congratulate you.

You Know You Are Truly Recognized As A Woman When...

you get totally ignored when sitting with a bunch of men....

Good for you, I bet they were talking about stupid sport things anyway nothing important like new shades of nail polish to try or how I might change my next hair do or all about the last man I dated.

[juliemac]

You fill out the pap[er work at the doctors office. The secratary reads.
Asprin? As a blood thinner I say..
Estrogen? Menopause may I ask? she says...
Yes. She rolls her eyes, I cant wait till this girl "thing" ends and launches into a discussion about periods....

Here I was thinking I wasnt passing today 

[pretty pauline]

When an ex boyfriend of mine many years ago insisted on always wearing a condom everytime we had intercourse just be be sure I didn't get pregnant, ''we don't want any accidents'' he use to say.
I knew then I was Truly Recognized As A Woman by him as he had no knowledge I was trans.

You and several other girls get uninvited to a birthday party because it becomes guys only...

So much for my afternoon plans!

[AbraCadabra]

Eh, that sucks Zoë,

self had one VERY good day. All Madam and Mrs. and pushing my small shopping trolley this morning, when something fell out - one VERY nice man rushed to pick it up for me before I could even make a move!
So SWEET, if things like that happen it give one SUCH a lift, not so? And YES! There are nice men, no question!
Rest of the day was Mrs. this and Mrs. that and I get these appreciative looks that say to me... old girl, but still in good shape.
A day of smiles.

PS: And a day to be grateful for providence AND E, hehe.

Axel,

You do look like a woman, so you'll probably get that stuff more and more.  I see you have some big dates coming up on your ticker.  I probably don't have people pick stuff up for me like that because I'm kind of aggressive.
