Title: The best compliment ever!!
Post by: bethany on August 08, 2013, 08:52:18 PM
Today when I logged on there was a new private message waiting for me. While this is normal but what it said was totally unexpected. I normally would not share a private message but this was extra special.

QuoteCan I just say you look really female lol I thought you must be a pre transition ftm!

:icon_joy: Like I said in a past post "No more guy mode for this girl." :icon_joy:

Why do you still act so surprised at your progress? You're looking more and more beautiful every day. :)

Great question Amelia, I see it this way. I look in the mirror every day and while I see the subtle changes that have occurred, I still have people calling me by my birth name and using male pronouns. So I question how well I pass. Even though I have heard from total strangers who refereed to me using female pronouns.  Does that make any sense?

Same here.  I really do love the new avatar.  You radiate the essence of womanhood and you look very vibrant and beautiful in it (that that you didn't look beautiful in your other pics-I just really like this one).

Of course, I understand. Do you realize that you have a hard time just taking a compliment sometimes? ;)
