Title: things you're really bad at??
Post by: Nicole on June 23, 2016, 10:08:52 PM
So for a bit of fun, what since you've transitioned have you done that you're really bad at?

For me, first and foremost its sport, any sport, all sport.
I'm fit, I run 5 mornings a week and walk the dog between 2 to 3km a night, but when it comes to playing sport I'm as bad as you can get.
Which is funny because I played a fair bit as a kid, I played aussie rules and was pretty good until I gave up at 13, now I couldn't kick the ball straight to save my life.
I played basketball and was again ok, gave that up at 13 as well, now I couldn't even hit the backboard if it was a wall.
I played tennis as well and was a B-grader, I still play every now and then with a friend, but I barely win a point against her and she admits that she was never any good.

Just lately I've been filling in for a mixed indoor soccer team, now I take sucking to a new level.

I've got some really sporty female friends who just give me a look like "you're a disappointment to our sex" (in a loving way) when I try to play sport.

I would say pool, I really enjoy playing the game, and even took some lessons from a local pro several years ago, but I just can't seem to be as consistent as I would like to be, however, I am good enough to keep up with a lot of players, and I win a fair amount of the time.

I've been more brain farty than usual....which I didn't think was really possible. And I still have the technical skills, but it has been hard for me to do my art since I started HRT, which has always been a big part of my life.

Both of these. And there was like a month or two where I couldn't park straight to save my life, I tended to start tipping over while walking and had random direction changes, I had to actively pay attention on stair cases or else I'd trip, and I dropped everything I picked up - often several times in a row.

Things are mostly better now as I'm getting used to it. I'm still not exactly graceful, but at least I don't constantly spazz out now :p

DIY.  Just don't. I'm banned from even flat packs by my partner.
Tolerance.  The longer I'm on HRT, the more I lack patience etc with people.  You can guess how short my fuse is at 35.
Memory. If you  asked me about one of 600 clients in my old job, I could probably tell you XYZ about them and what's going on, where we were at etc with them. Fantastic memory.  I get a text saying pick up  bread milk and eggs, and I'd probably come back with 2 of those and some random guff.
