Title: I'm a woman.
Post by: Wild Flower on September 11, 2011, 11:32:21 PM
I'm a woman. There's nothing that going to tell me otherwise, even if I don't look like a woman.

A guy opened a door for me at the gas station, waited for me too, and I was kind of happy. I wasn't even trying to appear like a woman, but it just felt good regardless. Also a customer, said, "Ma'am... sir".  I don't get it... I don't really, because I don't look like woman.

I'm not on hormones. My hair is short. I dress like a man. I look like a man. But people see a woman in me?? I don't act feminine... weird isn't it. Guys are talking to me??? Women are friendly...

Any transsexual experience this (before hormones, and all that)? I would find this insulting if I wasn't like this.

I dunno, people have always been polite to me? Whoever is at the door holds it open, or stuff like that.

Never been ma'amed though (only thing close is a guy thinking I was a girl from my picture online haha).

Though, when I date, my boyfriends always treated me very gently and "like a lady" (which, considering I was still a guy, I found kind of funny but sweet). I doubt they saw me as a girl, just not a "manly man" :P

Gawd, lol

Either I make guys confuse, or what... but I saw this guy talking to this guy, and then they looked at me... (same guy kept on saying hi to me). One guy implied to me today I should become a stripper. Lmao.... guys are so strange.

don't understand it, don't care too.

If someone's saying you need to be a stripper and everyone is confused on what gender you are, I guarantee you look more female or androgynous than many folks, even if it's just facial structure or body size.

I would be offended if they said I should be a stripper o.O

Kia Ora,

[I forgot to add this] "I don't act feminine!"

::) It's possible when one is not 'self conscious' ones behaviour is more 'natural'... It's hard to know how one acts when ones defenses are down[not feeling 'self' conscious]...
