Susan's Place Transgender Resources

For me, I think the best way, is to come out in "stealth mode". I already wear women's cloths that could be considered gender neutral. My hair is long. I put it up in a pony tail. I usually only put it up in a bun at night when I go to bed. It helps keep my hair from being a major mess in the morning. Lol My personality is feminine.
Most of the people I know, know that I am way more a female than male anyway. They also know that I wear "some" women's clothes cuz they fit better because of my size.
In my situation, I know I can pull off being a woman with my body. I am very small boned and have somewhat of a feminized body in the first place. My face on the other hand, uh no... I think I my self would look really bad if I tried to do the make up thing. I would just look like a man trying to look like a woman. (at least that is what most people that don't understand would see). The sad thing is that most people just see a person at face value and not who they are on the inside.
I also have a 6 yr old that would not understand why his daddy looks like a girl. I can't put that on him.
I want to start HRT soon. Yes I know that my boobs would be a dead give away but oh well. I will more than likely only end up a B at best.
I just think this is the best way for me to be who I am and not have a lot of problems with acceptance.
People accept me as I am now being kind of in stealth mode. If I actually told my friends and family that I am transgender, it would not go over well at all; even though they kind of have figured it out anyway.
Does anyone else on here do it the way I am doing it? Am I wrong for doing it this way?
Yes, I guess I want my cake and eat it too. (I am trying to cut back on the cake though. I am trying to lose a lousy 5 lbs. What a pain in the butt. Lol)

Yes.  I am doing it that way and for now at least it's working pretty well.   There is kind of an ironic side to it though.  When I am out now a days I usually wear women's jeans, and a pull over sweater shirt.  Whereas a year ago I used to get called sir in most instances that is becoming increasingly rare.  Most of the time now people don't gender me at all, at least not out loud.  When I am gendered I am called ma'am at least twice as often as sir, at least until I speak.  I haven't really worked on my voice much yet.

Whether I'll keep doing it this way forever is something I don't know yet.  So far I am 11 months on HRT.
