I complain about my life a few times, but I know all of you suffer the same as I do. The girls at my job make it more jarring being a male than it should be lately, since I put on plastic gloves to handle food, one co-worker was like "Yours are tight and mine are loose". We're the same height, if not, she's half an inch taller... so the sex differences are obvious. And then two girls were flirting with this one customer, and it felt kind of like, "They are so lucky, and they aren't even beautiful, but they are just woman which is enough".
They don't know I'm tg.... but some are open about their female problems... and just problems in general.
Another girl who raised her hand for a high five, was like, "Omg your hands are huge"... Anyways, there's nothing that is going to change these differences, my body is going to stay the same size no matter what.
I guess I'm fortunate since none of my guys I ever dated would use me financially, like their ex-boyfriends. But that is a rule-breaker in my romance, I don't foot in the bill no matter what (which only lands me older men, but that's fine, it makes me feel more special/feminine). I can pretend I'm like Anna Nicole or something....
I know I'm a woman, and I don't know where to begin. I have too many male features, bigger hands/feet, wider shoulders.... Eh the list goes on. But I'm 5'7, round face which can be completely feminize, it's just some features seem so impassable.
Life kind is rough, but you all suffer the same. I just don't like this lot I am given.
Unless the women you work with are giving you a hard time, I wouldn't worry about it too much. It sounds like they still think of you as one of them.
I've known women with hands meatier than mine and I am 6ft, big boned and know I have "frog hands". Not all of us are born petite with tiny frames with frail spindly feet and hands. Try finding cute shoes or boots in a size 11 or 12 for less than a weeks paycheck!
No one has the "ideal" body and not everyone has the same tastes in women. Plus comments from other women about your hands only tells me that they are so hung up over theirs, that they are constantly comparing.
Longer nails, as Beverly mentioned, will go a long way. You may be able to finagle a box of larger sized gloves for work for many reasons ranging from the "one size fits most" mediums are tight, to you can only wear nytril because of allergies.
There is indeed variation amongst genetic women too - all of the people below are genetic women!

Penny Wong is awesome. She and her partner have just had a little girl born to them. Fantastic.
Penny is an Australian politician in a same sex marriage, she is a person to be proud of as a politician and as a person.
IMO

I take it you are referring to the asian lady in the middle picture? I do not know any Australian politicians.

It can't be, because she's Akiko Wada, a famous Japanese singer and comedienne. Incidentally, she used to look like this:

Almost looks like she 'transitioned', thanks to plentiful smoking... :p
