Post by: ToniB on January 29, 2014, 05:13:57 PM
I have had 3 or 4 different people call me sweetie recently since I started with the hormones .I am wondering if maybe I am presenting myself differently recently but am not aware of doing it .2 of the people that called me sweetie where people I have worked with for ages and have never been called it before

I guess its kinda natural...

I mean if you  look rather girlish dont expect to be called sir a lot...

Something similar has happened to me too, its kinda nice  :)

You want to know the why of it, okay, I have a few questions.  How long have you been taking hormones?  Has it caused a change (even a small one) in your appearance and/or behavior?  Be as objective as you can be.  If at all do-able, get the opinion of someone that you feel safe about and can trust with the information, who Knew you before and knows you now, etc.  How important is it for you to know what's going on?  Is it important enough for you to possibly risk telling someone that you're questionable about if necessary?  I think you should approach matters in this sort of way.  Good luck sweetie.

I have noticed people behaving differently toward me at work. People are being very nice to me lately and treating me rather...... ladylike. Women are chattier with me too when before they used to treat me like a normal guy and were standoffish. I know that my appearance has been changing subtly and I suspect my behavior has too, but are these subtle changes enough to cause other people to behave differently around me? Somehow I don't think that is what is happening. Have people figured out what I'm up to? I don't think that's quite it either, so that leaves me with what The Post-Trans-Rebel said - pheromones.

I'm not out at work yet so i present in male mode there.
