Title: Puzzled Looks
Post by: Jillieann Rose on July 02, 2011, 06:08:39 PM
It's is getting very interesting now.
After being on HRT for a year and a half.
I have definitely changing.
On Saturdays I usually wear a tee, bluejeans, walking shoes and no makeup.
But I keep getting confused, inquisitive looks.
I think I am confussing the H out of people.
Most people that don't know me are very careful not to use a gender term.
The ones who use a gender term call me Miss.

That's great Emily!
I hope to get to that point soon.
Miss or honey are my favorite.
But ma'am is still better than sir.
;)

No sh!t, Jillieann!  Still, I've seen a cis-girl (older woman) get sir'ed, so that made me laugh.  I've been sir'ed only once when dressed, and lately I'm brave enough to go out on weekends without makeup, although not without my wig and other stuff.  This past weekend, though, I was with Simone and friends at a lake campground (just for the day) and as we were swimming in the lake, I mostly went without the wig, although I did wear a hat or a swimming cap.  Everyone seemed to think I passed just fine, even so.  My one-piece swimsuit works very well, when I'm tucked, and with my breastforms in, you can't tell I'm not a cis-girl without getting up close.  Feels SO nice to go swimming!!

The other weekend we had a Gay Pride Weekend.  I was dressed in a skirt and fem top, walking around the booths.  One I stopped at I talked with the guy there a bit then as I left he thanked me with a "sir".  My voice and face (light on the make up) must have gave me away.
