Title: Have you been laughed at or otherwise mocked?

Have you been laughed at or otherwise mocked?

This has not happened nearly as much as in my earlier transitioning, but some disapproving or downright unkind looks and words do occasionally come about.

I hate, hate, HATE that anyone has been unkind to you, Chrissy. It's heartbreaking.

I think so but I also think you have to have thick skin to do this. It isn't easy and you just have to be prepared for that.

Unfortunately, MTF HRT has only made my skin a bit thinner. Ha.

It's done that to me.  Of course, when I'm just wearing sunscreen, everyone thinks that Dracula invited me over for supper and he was doing more than kissing me on my neck!  My skin also gets a blue tint to it with just sunscreen!  LOL!
