Title: Being gendered..correctly?!
Post by: SailorMars1994 on April 04, 2017, 08:56:24 PM
Yes I do gotta make a post about this. It is awesome. Within the last month I have been called ma'am, she and her more then, well ever. I still get misgendered here and there but overall, I am getting more female pronouns thrown at me now then ever. If I had this happen last year this time I could have had far more confidence in myself, but alas  the happy female feelings i have are here. I notice my mood just becomes more upbeat then ever! And you know something else? it feels good alright! I even noticed I somtimes get a grin capable of eating massive amounts of crap (cant use word that fits better) :D!!! I am really loving this!!

It's also the sort of thing that benefits from a positive feedback loop, the more relaxed and confident you are about it, the more people will see a woman and not ever second guess it.

it feels super Moni! And yes Danielle you are so right! I have noticed I have been more consious of myself to allow my feminity bloom. And when i do, omg i just want the world to stand still (too bad it donest revolve around me heheh). But i have allowed myself to be more feminine. It is something I gotta do. After all, when your friends, peers, counsellors, doctors and spitiual people say that you are a woman, based on seeing me as a male and then as a female and note I seem more at peace when I am female and far happier then I guess I am in the right direction! And I guess my feminity is started to over flow so much I am getting called SHE :D

Way to go! Let's just keep the positive going, and soon, it will overtake any negatives there are.
Steps in the right direction for sure!

Congratulations! So happy for you!

Yeah... the eating. Right there with you. My current favorite: Tablespoons full of Ranch Dressing. Everyone around me just shrugs and nags me: See this is what hormones do! And we all laugh about it...
