Title: Poor disguise (Poker night)

Well, I was riding the train home this evening and I had somebody recognize me from last week. She came up to me and started talking like she had done last week and made reference to something she had said, so she knew I was the same person. However, she didn't act like anything was different about me. So I guess my male "disguise" was a lot poorer that I realized. That's probably why I had no major reactions at work.

That's because all you changed was your clothes. The face was still the same.
We're all very happy for you, Melissa.

No, I'm wearing makeup now and styling my hair.
Why do you keep saying that you're very happy for me? I'm just posting some funny anecdotal stories from my transition. I'm not trying to impress anyone. I won't post anything if nobody wants to hear it. :(

I'm shocked by the behavior in this thread! :o
Um...actually I'm dying with fits of laughter and want to use about as many smiley faces as I can. :P :D ;D 8) :-*
I was going to write something somewhat intelligent...what was it....
Oh, yes! I was going to suggest to you, Melissa, that makeup does not change one's face, it can only emphasize those features that you (and the rest of us) like best. So don't feel bad about your "male disguise" not being up to snuff or something.
Honestly, you people kill me. I knew I loved you all for a reason.

I knew there was a reason I was trading for an angelsgirl. :)
Thanks. I don't feel bad about looking female. ;) However, by emphasizing certain features, one can pull themselves out of the androgony zone with makeup. I thought I was in the androgony zone, but apparently was closer to the female side of it.

hehehehe ! You nuts !
Hay Melissa.... don't be too supprized if people reconize you infact I would be supprized if they didn't ... that is what makes changeing sex so hard i think ! their going to know one way or another...and its a very hard thing to hide. however you have 2 things going for you in that guys have a tennancy to be simply overlooked ! but gals are noticed ...
at least that is how i see it being male... the reality may be some what diferent <GRIN>
so if you just look nice as a gal, and plane as a guy you should be able to hide quite well.... but if you realy spiffy up it draws more attention to yourself....
....its a thought !
And Chynna , when you get as old as i am you look for other stories in peoples posts not for memory but to just give ya something to think about ! I mean, I can't remember back THAT FAR ! HEHEHEHEHE (older than dirt comes to mind but I won't say that about myself !)
and sense I've never been a TS I have alot to learn ! at least before i go completely seneial ! HAHAHAH ! so keep them comeing Melissa !
