Title: Funny reaction story
Post by: JesseG on June 05, 2014, 12:35:44 PM
I'm 34 and I've been feminizing for a while now, but no surgery or hormones. Facial hair removal, hair is getting to medium length, lost weight, shaped eyebrows, etc.

Last evening my wife and I are in our back yard doing the lawn together, and our back neighbor leans over the fence to chat. We don't talk often, so I haven't been face to face with her since last summer.

She's chatting with my wife, when I come over closer. My old gardening clothes are hanging on me like on a coat rack. She looks at me with this astonished look on her face, and says to my wife in a serious voice "Um, is there a reason your husband looks 14? I didn't recognize him, I thought you had a teenage kid over in your yard." Really, a priceless look on her face.

My wife and I look at each other, we laugh, and she says "Yeah, he's lost some weight..."

Awesome story!  Trust me, it gets even better.  Just you wait until you have to reintroduce yourself to people you already know.

Great story, Jess.

Just a day ago, an old friend who I haven't heard from in quite a while PMed me on Facebook to ask if I was okay. Here's the message: "Hey Dude, are you ok? You seem to be getting really thin. Are you super stressed or something? Just worried. Take care!"

I assured her I'm fine, but I found it really funny.
