I also do the head nod a lot, since I'm normally wearing headphones and I don't want to try and talk.

As far as "nicknames", being called "sir" for the first time was awesome. I think "son" or "young man" are the ones I'm waiting to hear. Now I'm randomly imagining situations where such words would make sense to be used.  :P

I really don't like sir all that much.  I've been called it several times and it just irratates me.  Then again, ma'am used to irratate me the same way even when I was in denial.  It just makes me feel old.
In between the lines there's a lot of obscurity.
I'm not inclined to resign to maturity.
If it's alright, then you're all wrong.
Why bounce around to the same damn song?

I'd have to say, I work in retail and no one at my work knows I am a FTM. So, it's probably one of my favorite places to be. I don't look my age, so most of my co-workers call me "Boy" for fun. But I don't mind. The weirdest is when I get guests that insist on calling me "Boss" and reply with things like "Okay, Boss", "Right on, Boss". I don't really understand how the habit can be formed, maintained, and said to a young man that most people think probably shouldn't be working in the middle of a Wednesday morning when High Schoolers should be in session.

"Boyfriend" is really probably my favorite. That puts a whole new level to everything, a reality. "Sir, young man, man, dude, bro(ther)" all have come pretty common place but only "boyfriend" has that lingering affect like "Yeah, that's right boyfriend".

I have to say "sir". i went to disneyland a few months ago and was walking into california adventure, and the ticket lady was older maybe in her late 60's early 70's and i swiped my card and steped through and then i herd "ummm. sir?.....Sir?" i turn and she rechecked my id becouse it was in my female name and she wanted to check the picture on it. it was still awsome tho. this old lady with a computer telling her i was a chick decided to use sir becouse thats what she saw. it was great. i get it once in a while out at stores and such, but this was the best. I have to say tho doors are starting to get to me. i want to walk past them each time other guys open doors for me. i try to avoid it by speeding up to get to the doors before them tho >:-). but i like people usin brandon too. its odd the only person ive told who actuallly uses it is my gfs dad, he slips sometimes but hes pretty good about it.

Bro, buddy, and boyfriend.

I've been called "bro" many times. I was called buddy once by a guy in one of my classes and was caught off guard by it, and when I was walking away, I just had this stupid smile on my face because I was so happy. xD

"Boyfriend" is great too.

I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one who is happy when they're called by male insults.

I gotta say being called dude, sir or young man.

Though in the household I live in, that's rare....

Well, I didn't have to wait long! Some old lady who came to our moving sale today was trying to get my attention, so she was like "Young man, could you tell me how much this is?" :D I smiled at that, and then remembered that I had mentioned it on here yesterday. XD

Sir, or being referred to as a boyfriend. I hate terms like bro, man, buddy, son.... HATE them. Always have, always will. Better than being called by female terms, but barely. Dude is okay. The others just sound uneducated and rather... not condescending, but not respectful. Yeah, I know, I probably sound like a right arse, can't help it. I really don't appreciate being spoken down to just because I look young... and that's what it feels like.

This may sound counterintuitive, but I LOVE it when I get told to "suck it up princess" because it's the same tone of voice as is used amongst mates in my social group. It means that my trans status neither affects their view of me nor their behaviour towards me be at all.
They're neither tip-toeing around me nor mocking me.
I'm one of the guys.
So I get told to "suck it up princess" just like any other man in the group.

I got "->-bleeped-<-got" from a guy driving past me in a car the other day. As much as I hate the word, I love that he used that instead of "dyke." My friends were so confused why I was happy when I told them about it.

LOL the same exact thing happened to me! That's too funny. Made my day, too.

Bastard works for me too. I think insults are really reassuring because they are said on the fly without much thought, in anger. :D

yeah haha, I remember before i knew I was trans, my brother called me a son of a b*tch.  and i remember being so happy, and it felt like it really felt right, as opposed to when he called me a b*tch

Dude and man are pretty cool, but I'm also a bit of a stoner/psychonaut haha

I like being called dapper, handsome or anything other than "pretty."

I love being called Mikah. It only happens online, and once in a grand while when my SO calls me that. Some day, I want to hear "boyfriend."

when i was out to no one, and i was trying to come out to my boyfriend who was COMPLETELY unaccepting at the time, we got in a fight about my gender identity and sexual orientation, and the difference between the two.  eventually, he accepted that i'm not a lesbian, and then started yelling '->-bleeped-<-' at me.  it made me week! and he couldn't understand why.  it was awesome to be visible for once, even though his label was derogatory.   ;D

I'm the youngest and only girl in my family (two older brothers) so my favorite is when people call me "bro." Plus the casualness of it, I don't know. Makes me feel the most like one of the guys.

If you identify as male, you don't have to refer to yourself as a girl, unless you like to. FAAB might be a term you'd like. You are one of the guys  :)
