What do YOU feel as though is the most noticable thing, trait, etc..... that gives you away has a Transgendered individual?
And
What are you doing (or planning) to do to correct it?
For me my walk.....(medical reason) bottom line it hurts when a gurl switches for too long! :D
And to correct (hide) this problem I just stop walking around so much! ;D ;)

Ummmmm....... Thats a hard one.......... really.....
Id say my friends or family would be the numberone giveaway......
The second would be fidgityness but that dosnt really give you away... its just a bad habbit....
I really dont know... maby Bri could inlighten me on that one....
Oh, I do have somewhat bulkey arms still even after all the muscle loss but its not really a give away either... Ond finaly if I dont keep up on it the facial growth which isnt perm dead yet... If I let that go its a dead giveaway.... but Ive also been mamed witha 5:00 shadow... Hmmmmmm
Seriously, thats a really good question and I dont have an actual answer for ya....

Hey Peeps,
For me I would also say my voice for the same reasons Tinkerbell has touched on already. A couple of my friends have said that my voice tends to be a little different if I am with them compared to what it is if I am in public or I am meeting another of their friends for example. Cant say that I really notice to be honest, though as Tinkerbell says perhaps you just tend to relax more around your friends/family.
I am also a little weary at times of talking on the phone - thank god the call centre job I have means I am no longer on the phones talking to people. Although must admit, when I called the police at 2am a few days ago the first thing the guy who answered did after finding out why I was calling was to say "Right Miss, can I take your details then" which was kinda fab as I wasnt even making any kinda effort with my voice. I aint planning to do anything about my voice as when I eventually got an appointment for voice therapy I was told I sounded fine as I was.

Oh, that's easy - Male Pattern Baldness. grrr. I suspect that even after years of HRT I'll still get sirred unless I wear a wig.
Oh well!

That's an easy one. My genitals. :P As for correcting the problem, I'm working on it. ;D Seriously though, I have passed in extremely intimate situations. My girlfriend at the time didn't know I was TS (even though she has TS friends) and after she hinted that she knew, I talked with her later and she told me that it was my genitals that gave me away.

My voice seems to be my main problem right now. I seem to be able to do a pretty good girl voice, but I'm not always able to do it. I seem to be able to do it best when I'm alone practicing. I can't do it as easily when I'm nervous I guess...
