Title: Things you enjoy
Post by: Anxo on March 17, 2016, 08:50:35 PM
What are certain things or clothes or activities you guys always desired that you can now do happily? (or know you'll be happily doing in the future)

I feel like I always wanted to ride a motorcycle as a guy because as a girl I couldn't feel complete. Also wearing certain clothes and hairstyles I know I'll feel more confident when I go on T.

I also can never go to rock concerts :-\ I think that's one of my greatest triggers because I always see guys who I want to look like exactly and it just ruins my mood and the show for me in all.

Iv'e always wanted to play video games with a group of guys and feel accepted and not be treated like i need help all the time or not be treated like a girl.

Iv'e always wanted to sit at a table filled with men and not be the boy who was a girl who thinks they are a boy but actually be a "Boy" in the eyes of the other people and be treated as part of the group and do manly things, and silly things like challenges and dumb stuff i never did.

Iv'e always wanted to wear sweatshirts that are skinny on the body and not have people notice my chest....and you know. But just be flat chested someday and feel happy.

Iv'e always wanted to take my shirt of and sleep without it or walk around with no shirt swim with no shirt things like that.

(in the future maybe)

Midnight star - I was cracking up reading your post.  I want EXACTLY the opposite, except I hate (shoot'em up) video games. 

I HATE sitting at a table of men and being looked at as "one of the guys!"  (That's actually very painful for me to do.)  I would love to sit at a table of women and chat and be accepted as one of them.

I would kill to be able to wear a tight sweatshirt and not be flat chested.  I HATE walking around without a shirt - never do.  Pools/sun bathing are agony for me.

Funny how the mind works - can we switch places???

I'd like to be able to wear a t-shirt and it not be obvious I have no chest. I'm dreading the warm weather returning so I can't cover up with thick jackets. Curse that groundhog!

I've also wanted to feel more comfortable on a motorcycle Anxo-although in my case I liked to be on the back of someone else's bike! Always have felt awkward (but good) as a guy when doing this. 

For what it's worth, I've known couple of females who really pull off the bike thing on their own, usually backed up by their rep as long-time riders.

May you soon feel good riding in whatever mode or role you choose!

Always wish people would stop judging me and giving me crap for not being interested in traditional female careers.  Currently I'm a truck driver and going to school at night to be an industrial electrician.   I'm so tired of people asking me why I would want to do that or telling me I won't be taken seriously in a man-dominated career.

What I look forward to are simple things; being able to not wear a shirt at the beach, wearing shorts with unshaved legs without feeling like I'm being stared at, and rocking one hell of a handlebar mustache. ;)

Also, losing my wide, give-me-away-in-an-instant girly hips so I can wear men's pants and finally have them fit properly. I really can't wait for that.

My wife bought me a lovely purse on Sunday. I carry it around the house! lol :P

Currently in boy mode at work with (not so hidden) pink socks and pink panties and a diamond solitaire engagement ring.

When I go home I'll put a dress or nightgown on and probably lay in bed with my new purse. We want such simple things. :(

I feel bad that i couldn't think of any things about transition that i like that i can do now... but I do like how mens' jeans have pockets that I can actually fit things in. It's not that big a deal i never realised exactly how irritating needing to carry a handbag was until i stopped doing it. It's insane that jeans marketed to ~women have such tiny pockets

I'm still pre-everything but right now I don't enjoy wearing men's tanks because my binder shows. But I long for the day when I can wear them care free!
