Susan's Place Transgender Resources

 Had a doctors appointment today, nothing special I just needed to set up my referral for voice therapy...

Anyway I was walking back to the truck and a car drove by with the windows open.  I was the only girl in that area and as they drove by one of the men in the car stuck his head out the window, whistled loudly and called out woooohooooooo check out the babe...

How would you feel?  and for Dennis and the boys how would you feel if women had done that to you?

Personally...  It brought a huge smile to my face and I felt good about myself that I could get such a reaction from a man (No he wasn't drunk) :)  Don't forget I'm a girly girl.

^*chortle*
1. He can't be referring to me.
2. "Animal."
Erm, and lets say it degenerates from there.

I like gentlemen, not the behavior of what passes these days.

^{*Makes mental note of something her therapist has said as being true.*}

We'll lets see I have been honked at by a trucker and hooted at by a passer by. Both brought a smile to my face on the one hand and on the other I thought, neanderthal, do they really think a girl is impressed by such displays. Just knock me over the head and drag me back to your cave why don't you. Sheeesh!

Cassie

Stephanie, you have a right to feel good about that. It has happened to me a few times and the first time it felt good after the second and third times it definatley got on my nerves that and continual staring are now my biggest dislikes. They are like pack animals they usually only do it in pairs or in a group (if he was on his own then that would be just plain yukky). Enjoy it while it feels good.

As long as they don't expect me to cook, and wash their stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnking cloths :) :) :)

I know quite a few gentlemen but they can be boring, after all some would consider having a door opened for you, allowing you to go first (even from sinking ships) :) pulling your chair out, to be a little sexist :)  I think having a hulking great, hairy, beer drinking, neanderthal fawning over you can be quite cute till they too get boring and you tell him to f*#k off and die :)  Ooooooooops did I say that.

Steph

It is just part of life as a woman. Enjoy it but try not to let your smile show too much  ;D

Being 24 and skinny when I transitioned, I will confess that I "flaunted it" and dressed very much as other brash young women. I REALLY enjoyed the cat calls, wolf whistles, and otherwise seeing the guys make fools for themselves - it's just the way they are - and it was very reaffirming for me. Age and time have taken their toll over the years and the men who look now are more mature and just smile - I MISS the wolf whistles  :D

Flattered and embarrassed. :icon_redface: I guess I wouldn't mind ... although I'm sure it could become pretty annoying.  Women don't seem to be as forward about this sort of thing though.  Would *you* whistle at a guy?  ;)

Joseph

I've had women tell me I'm a cute guy and, frankly a lot more attention of that sort than I ever got before transition.

And dammit, I like it. If I got wolf whistled at and objectified, I'd be freakin happy. Unfortunately women don't do it that often.

Way way to subtle Leigh. :D

Actaully when I was 29 I was Bicycling about 35 miles everyday. I had a notion I might do the Tour De France. Anyway one day I was coming down off a hill going about 40mph and a car full of women cruised by me whistled cat called and said things like "Pump it baby!" As you might imagine my legs and butt were very tone in those days. I was quite flattered. I said "Sorry ladies" and held up my left hand to show my wedding ring. They said "shoot" and drove on.

On my birthday my friends had a birthday party for me and when I blew out the candles I blew the wax off the candles and across the table right into one friends face. My lung capacity was impressive. I really need to quit smoking and start bicycling again.

Cassie

I am complimented by whisles and the undressing eyes sort of look. I am almost 53 now and before breast implants got very few dishings of such treatment. I have to agree with Nothern Jane, I enjoy it but don't let my smile get seen to much. It's more an inside smile and giggle that makes me feel so womanly.

I have not had any of the whistling or cat calls that some have had. I have had the laughs and the woohoos from both men and women. About the only thing I have had was some guy in a small coffee shop asked me if I knew how to cook in a slow cooker. I told him yes and suggested a lot of receipe and how to do it. Then he asked me if I wanted to go home with him for dinner. I told him I was married and showed him my ring and that was it. I felt really good about myself then.
Sheila

There's a big difference between men and guys....  the ones who cat call and the like are guys.  I prefer men.  I like being admired, not lusted after.  Just my 2 cents.

Oh yes most definitly the admired looks are welcomed. Don't think ever had been exposed to lusted after. Yes I do think you are right about Men and Guys too. There is definitly a difference.

After parking then walking past the warehouse into work one morning a truckdriver waiting to unload looked me up and down which I didn't mind, but I got uncomfortable when he continued to leer. When he added to it with some remark about joining him in his sleeper the discomfort turned to anger.

So... I jumped up on his running board, got in his face with my deepest male voice I could find and said "Hey big boy! Whatcha got in mind?"

He was imediately situated on the far side of his truck with a priceless look of horror on his face.

I continued into work and shared the experience with girls in the office. We were all still giggling over it when the same driver, paperwork in hand, came in to ask for a signature on his delivery. He tried not to make eye contact though, especially with me. Maybe he thinks now before making rude remarks.

THANKS!! for the tip!!  I guess I shouldn't throw out my 'Full Metal Jacket' Marine DI voice -- it could come in REAL handy sometime ;-)

Just be careful. You never know what someone like that is capable of and need to use caution. I knew there were a couple of burly warehouse guys within shouting distance should I need help.

Hi! This is my first post. I will do an introduction over in that section.

I was an over-the-road, eighteen wheel truck driver for 7 years. The last 2 of those years was as Karen. Yes, I transitioned with a truck company. They were extremely helpful; to the point of putting me in a brand new tractor so Karen and Jim would not be associated with the same piece of equipment.

In truck stops, I often got whistles which I might acknowledge with a little wave. The most flattering gestures was when a driver from across the room would pick up my meal check and would be happy with a smile and a nod of recognition. I always declined invitations to eat with them when walking toward the building or join them in their sleeper on the way back. The attention was nice. An affirming experience.

Karen

During my first transition I was out and about in places where  this would be a bit more common.  And I did indeed hear, a number of times, that whistle that I ended up dubbing the "Mexican Construction Worker Mating Call".   ;D  Why Mexican?  We have a huge population of Mexicans and illegal aliens here.  Most seem to end up working construction and landscaping.  I would usually laugh and maybe wave.

Nowadays I would probably just ignore them.  Have run into too many circumstances where men even take eye contact as an invitation to bother me.  MOF, have had two instances of guys beeping and waving (honestly, does that crap work for anyone?) in the last couple of days and I did just ignore them.  Knowing my luck they were millionaires but better safe than sorry.   :P

no seriously, I would.  ;D

I would be happy..if she is alone(chance is-->0)..I would talk to her..it happened last year ..I had that spiky coiffure..unfortunately she was with some friends(include boys)..so we exchanged few sentences about hair gel I used..that was all..

Perhaps not true but what comes to mind...
"Ball, dropped. Soundly." ^*wink*

@Kimberly

what were those guys for me..could pommel them  ;D
for tender healing woman's touch  :)

A woman admired my ass in a bar and I blushed... :icon_redface: but, I liked it.  LOL!

Hmmmm..I think it all depends on what they say.  Personally I love cat calls as long as they are polite and unique... ^-^

I liked the catcalls before..... my ex and I would look at eachother and have a friendly argument over who they were directed at.  "They were whistleing at you" .......... "No, I deffinatly think that was directed at you" ....... Round and round back and forth that would go.

In a sence Id like it........ but then again Im alone now and wouldnt have the safety of numbers so Im not totaly sure........  though IM sure (as in the past) id be flattered.

A few weeks ago I was driving down the highway and had my skirt up cause it was hot and my air wasn't working. I pass a big truck. And the next thing I know he was passing me and smiling. Than he slow down again. Speed limit changed and he waslong gone in my rearview mirror.
I liked give him a thrill. Cat calls maybe. Admirers yes any time.

:icon_yikes:  and these are the people we m2f TS' looked to learn from when we were trying to pass as males. Yeesh!!lol

I don't mind cat call as long as they are polite and not vulgar.  One time in a bar during Halloween I got a complement from another t-girl when she told me, "honey, you have the legs to die for."  It made me blush needless to say, but I did thank her for the nice complement.   I was dressed up as a French Maid where I wore a wig, the short length black dress uniform, fishnet thigh high stockings and strappy high heels.  All the guys in the bar were looking at me as though I was some kind of sex kitten.  I don't mind the attention I get when dressed enfemme as long as it does not go too far over the line.  I do find it quite flattering.   :)

Shannon

I've never been able to bring myself to talk about a woman like that as male.  I never felt comfortable.  Anyway, I still have never had any cat calls.  Just some stares by guys with smiles or dopey looks on their faces.

I went out to pick up some soft drinks right after my surgery.  Although I felt crappy and in pain, I was the happiest I had ever been.  It showed.  I had on tight jeans and a tank top.  I seldom wore a bra.

As I was entering the convenience store, a very attractive fellow was coming out.  He galantly held the door open for me and remarked "Gawd, I'd do anything to have you."  I replied with "I'm sorry but I'm not granting miracles today."  He about fell down he laughed so hard.  I smiled and winked in return and then walked past him into the store.

It was one of those moments to remember and write about.... Oh.. I did ;)

ahemmm....Wheepppp... wheptooie,  Wheeeeet Wheeeew !  hehehehehe dang its hard to wistle with false teeth ! Drat the luck !
....

I admit when I see a good looking gal out there i can't help myself .... I admire females so very much its pitiful !   I'll honk the horn  , i'll even break my neck a'Lookin'
hehehehe its fun !    though i try very hard not to embariss the gal,  but I do want her to get the point that i like what i see...  99% of the time its done in fun ! but there are those times when the preditors are actually hunting their quarie.... and yes many times they do it in packs !
.... its an aspect of human behaviour that is just plane silly to me ! its worth doing it for the comments you get sometimes !  yes it can be hurtfull and that is sad. but most of the time I think its done in fun.... ...
how would i feel if some woman whistled at me ?  first i'ed probly look arround astonished then point to my chest with a inquisitive look.... then fall on the ground laughing or run and climb the nearest tree !  hehehe
or shout "you poor baby you've been lonely too Long ! its affected your sight!"
....
I was Admired one time when I was all cleaned up about 25 or 30 years ago, ( i've never let that happen again let me tell you ! )  I realy don't remember much about it but i was bending over my motorcycle and pulling out a spark plug... and a convertable came by with 4 girls in it  and she honked , one whistled and another said hay fella you need any help?  i said nah i got it thanks ! ....  I wasn't fast enough to say "Oh yah ! I could realy use ALL of your help right about now !" .... but thats the story of my life.... a day late and a doller short  every time ! HEHEHEHHEHEHE
.... as Kim said...." the ball drops soundly !"  Bummer deal dude ! hehehehe
( i dropped the ball on that play let me tell ya ! )

but over the years I have clamed it down to not embarrass myself or get hit by the wife!
which is the inevitable outcome of such exibitions of pure intelect....
.... one time my wife said " Dear Your drooling all over the steering wheel!"  I said Uh ?   oh, just trying to clean it off dear ! with a big grin ! ...then I got hit !
its all in fun i think ...guess it depends on your outlook i guess !
heheheheh
Bob.......
