Title: My first experience with passing!
Post by: AdamFinally on May 26, 2013, 10:59:06 PM
I went to my best friend's wedding this weekend, and I went as Adam. The best part of the weekend was when I was taken for a male by the bartender, even after she ID'ed me! She called me a fellow and said that I looked 17. Of course, I'm 32 so 17 wasn't quite the look I was going for, but I passed!!! I'm pretty excited because I haven't started T yet and this experience made me really want to go through with my transition. Just wanted to share that with you guys. Hopefully I can start T in the fall or maybe next summer. In the meantime, I'll accept looking like a teenage boy.

Take it where you can get it, lol. Don't feel bad about being carded though. I'm on T and was carded when I asked for a beer at the Mexican restaurant last week (I'm 31).

Lol! I get carded frequently anyway, but this time the bartender asked me if I wanted a soda, then spent two minutes looking at my ID. It was a unique experience. Later on, she came back to tell me that she told her coworkers that she thought I was 14. Good times!

That is really cool. I an experience similar to that last week. I was in the bathroom (Ladies) and a women came in and jumped when she saw me. She did a double take and looked at the door to confirm that she was in the ladies room. I felt pretty damned good and not 5mins later someone called me ma'am.....>.<
