Title: It happened again
Post by: JulieC. on January 30, 2012, 01:26:43 PM
It happened again.  I went to see a show with a female friend of mine ( in male mode) and when we were handing our coats to the coat check woman she said good evening ladies.  I just love it!  This is the third time this has happened to me where I have been mistaken momentarily as a woman when I wasn't even dressing as one.  I think my aura is presenting it's self as more feminine as I embrace being a woman.  It gives me a little hope that if I do go full time maybe I can pass.  I know I need a lot more work especially on my voice but there is a little hope there.  Too bad I can't live my whole life in dimly light nite clubs.

It is a great feeling.

Last summer, I got ma'amed in full guy mode. I was only on HRT for 2 months, hadn't started my RLE yet, the only makeup was to hide the beard shadow, and was in men's clothes. I had my hair pulled back in a short pony tail, and the host at the restaurant looked at both my (then) wife and I and addressed us as "ladies."

Yeah, it's a great feeling.
