I have a webcomic and came out to my readers and fellow cartoonists some 16 months ago to much support - which was awesome. Last night I found a site that was discussing some of my work (positively too, I might add!! ;D ) and they were referring to me as she. It's the little things in life that can really make a difference. I wasn't in need of an ego boost or a positive reaffirmation... but every little one of them helps. Store them up for later when you might need them, I always say.
Overheard (or read) any conversations about yourself lately?
I'm thinking of getting one of those ultra sensitive listening devices , I get back to you on that.
Lol when people use the wrong pronoun and me I began to use the wrong pronoun on them ;D love the feeling when people get it right, especially when they don't think your around. that spells acceptance to me :P
No, i'm not really sure i want to be listening to people talking about me that think i'm not around, i hate to say it but they can barely gender me correctly to my face
For the last 2 nights in a row I had cops refer to e as ma'am. Yester day I was sitting in an 24 hr. Subway sandwich shop and a city cop walked buy me and said how you doing ma'am. Then in the same shop tonight a University cop referred to me as ma'am. I guess the hormones are working.

Yup, they are! But... isn't there way too much cops in Your daily life? :D
With my voice fixed now it's an automatic "she" from everyone... I could not be happier.
Yesterday I went out to town and was presenting male as usual and while I was in line at the craft store to buy some paints, a little girl and her grandma were talking about Dora the Explorer and how only babies watch it(the little girl was probably 8 or 9 but I'm bad with estimating ages) and anyway, the grandma was telling the girl that when she was a baby, all she would watch was Dore the Explorer. It was a funny conversation and the little girl was hilarious, so I kept smirking or laughing lightly at their conversation since they were literally like 5 inches in front of me and the little girl looked at me a few times, then looked at her grandma and was like:
'/Gramma/.... I can't tell if he's a kid or not!'
It made my day and eased all anxiety that I had up until then! I'm pre everything, so the girl being unsure of my age(I look like an 18 year old female but like a 14 year old male... SO...) but being certain I was a boy made me happy =)
