What has been the silliest thing you've done so far during your transition?
For me it was yesterday morning.
After enjoying a luxurious bath during which I shaved my legs, I realized, while dressing, my Bikini Line was in need of some serious attention.
So I grabbed the razor and proceeded to complete a quick shave.
Yup, today, I'm feeling it. Shoulda just taken a second bath.

I fell in with a group of troublemakers and ended up on my fridge.
As a mugshot, or raiding the cookie jar?
My parents once put the cookie jar on top of the fridge in an attempt to keep me out of it. As a toddler, I was a climber. It didn't work.
After that there was rarely any cookies in the house. (Maybe that was the beginning of the issues my cis-sister has with me.)
Now eating the middle out of the Oreos and the putting them back in the package is another story....

Shall we talk about the ridiculously high heels or the ridiculously short skirts?
Well in my younger years I would wear western boots that had some pretty tall heels on them.
One of my recent girly purchases was a pair of sandals with wedge heals. I wore them around the house, a couple of times, and then went public yesterday wearing them & my boot cut 'Simply Vera' jeans.
I was pleased that I very quickly remembered how to walk and drive in heels.
No skirts yet but shopping....

As an avatar. Can't say as I understand it either.
I do applaud you for looking at the humorous side of transitioning. One funny thing that happened was when I showed up for my ill fated FFS, there was no one at the hospital. That wing closed down at night. We walked up to the desk and no one was there. No one in the halls, nothing. I finally decided I was in the right place though because I looked over to the side and saw wheelchairs. On the back of each there was printed "TRANS." Well surely it was too obvious to just have it be an abbreviation for transportation, so I assumed, it was like a director's chair, that it was labeled for folks like me, so I stayed. Three surgeries to repair my FFS later, I realize it was TRANSportation, and I should have used it to get the hell out of there. True story! :( >:( :embarrassed: :'(
Moni, If I offended you I apologize. Please forgive me, as it was not intentional.
Yes I started this as laughing at myself.
The moral of my story is never try to address the Bikini Line dry. And today, I'm feeling it and really regretting my laziness.
Hopefully we can have some lighthearted moments.
What we go though to live authentically is something the majority of human beings can not comprehend. We are probably some of the strongest humans alive - to go through a transition and come out the other side happy with ourselves and being a contributor to the greater human good.
Yes I need to laugh at myself at times. Otherwise I'd really go crazy.

Hi Kate, pleasure to meet you. You have me wrong. I didn't take offense. I am a big proponent of using humor on Susan's. I have the some of the nicest people and brightest minds shaking their heads at my posts, saying what's wrong with that girl? It takes a lot to offend me. I do like the thought of contributing to greater human good. I would add taking care of the planet to that too. I was thinking of a new way to describe my transition earlier today. I decided it was a 'mid life reincarnation.' Seriously, I hope things are going well in your process. I don't know if I think of myself as strong. Maybe fortunate. Definitely lucky.
Thank you!

Well I can't tell the real juicey ones but sunbathing in a bikini top prior to having waxing on my upper-body was a good one.
I arrived at the salon in male mode, took my top off to reveal my sunburn impression of a bikini top and the woman doing the waxing looked suitably stunned.
It was the beginning of a lovely friendship!

That wouldn't be silly if you took off the fake mustache and Groucho glasses and maybe even the sombrero, Allison. :P
Moni! I love your new avatar but you are wearing the wrong refrigerator hat. Check with Faith. She has the right hat.
I'm not sure if this qualifies as being silly but I once poked my boob and almost ended up on the ceiling of a crowded Best Buy store.

My silliest thing was telling my cat that I was transgender.
She didn't care a wit! Just licked her paws and took a nap.
Thank you Kate for starting this thread. I can already tell this is going to be a fun place as I am such a silly women, I'm sure I will have to make many visits here.
Silly hugs!

Don't give up the sombrero, Allison! Few people can rock a sombrero without holding a guitar, so you need to show the rest of us how that works...
As for silly, I rather think that anyone is silly hoping to find the interesting parts of a refrigerator ON TOP of it, rather than INSIDE of it...
(And, Moni, with my screen's resolution, I actually had no idea what was happening in your new picture, which I first saw on another thread, until your post above about falling in with the wrong sorts of folks... Sort of like you, Moni, so far out of the box rational minds can't keep up...)

Sarah, I spill so often, I sometimes think any food good enough to eat must also be good enough to wear!
After a few months of HRT my headlights were definitely there but okay when hidden under jackets and ties. One afternoon as I was making a presentation when the room A/C failed. It got real warm real fast so I whipped the jacket off my satiny shirt... Um. Er. Ahh.

Ah Kate what a nice thing to say. I'm so far out of the box, I guess I ended up on top of it. Well the ice box anyway. As for rational minds, I think everyone needs to act like a rascal sometimes, cause a little mischief. I gotta say, you look like the type, Girl. ;D
Naired my forearms. It's kinda irrational, they aren't especially hairy, but I'd had a rough week and they were freaking me out.

Isn't somebody going to get that poor girl down from the fridge? She's been there long enough hasn't she?
Moni:
It's OK to come down from the top of the Fridge.
Sorry, but I've already eaten the middles out of all the Oreo cookies. All you're going to find is what I put back in the package..... (The chocolate part!)
Secondly, I thought somebody posted here that they did a lot of shopping... Can't find it now; but HerRoom.com, AdoreMe.com, Sephora.com, and Rotita.com are getting a lot of my iPad time and my money......
How silly of me.

Okay two more silly transition events for the thread.
When I came out to my niece, I got real serious looking, told her I have something important to tell her, and she gets kind of nervous. It was back when Jenner was a big topic. So to break the tension, she blurts out, "Okay, don't tell me!
You are gonna become a woman." To which, I replied, "Yes, how did you know?" Cue the massive jaw drop! lol
Number 2. One time, (at band camp) I got stuck on a major appliance and someone ate all the centers out of my prize cookies. :o Don't worry I called the cookie police.
Moni
Alright I confess I am the reason she is on the fridge. She liked being up there so much that we can't get her to come down.
Hmmm silly? Nope nothing is coming to me. I guess I am just not a silly type of person. I do remember being mortified on day while dressed en femme at a busy big busy truck stop / gas station far from home in a different state, locking my keys, purse, and phone in my pickup. I then had to play a damsel in distress and go inside and having to ask for help getting a locksmith to come out and rescue me. This was early on in my transition on a trip across country. By the time I came home from it I was full time.
Hugs,
Laurie

My silliest ever was long ago, a bunch of us college friends were up at the lake and my wife had neglected to pack my bikini so I was swimming in my panties. Someone made a wisecrack about pubes peeking over the waistband and how they should shave me. My thoughtless reply was: "You would have to tie me up first!"
Before I could retract that dare it was five against one and I was soon hanging from a tree limb. You can guess the rest of the story.

Hopefully the did you the decency of lubricating your skin for the razor....
It was my failure to do that while addressing some of my pubes is what caused me to ask the original question.

Yes, thankfully it was an overnight trip so between the girls and the boys there was an ample supply of shaving items. They really did a fine job in spite of all my squirming and kicking. Then they would not give be back the panties until evening so that "The sun could dry me!" It worked so well that Eve kept me smooth for many years.
Now I know this is a silly one. I've spent the morning going over some of the comments I've posted in the many threads that I frequent. I realized I need to do a better job of proof reading my comments before I click the Post button. That's not just silly but embarrassing to.

My female alter got caught in a rain storm at the beach about 7 years ago. Looking like a drowned rat in a bikini and wet tee shirt, she ducked into the first door she could to get out of the storm and use the bathroom. It was a bar full of drunken Navy guys who's ship just got home from deployment; the bathroom was at the far end of the bar. Every eye in the place was on her. Beet red, she did her best to smile and ignore the whooping and wolf whistles...

-The only woman in the ENTIRE place
-Hair sloppily pulled back in a scrunchy
-What was left of her mascara in racoon circles around her eyes and running down her cheeks
-A sopping wet tee shirt that barely covered her bikini bottom clinging to every curve of her body like a second skin
It's not the way a modest girl wants to be seen in a room full of men, let alone MY the fear that one of them might realizing they were ogling a man in a bikini....
ah... I got you now... I was thinking surely the point of a bikini on the beach is that at some point you take a dip in the sea... so why would it matter if it rained. :embarrassed:
Hmm, I've done a lot of silly things during my transition and I'm sure there will be plenty more silliness as time goes on.
One thing that happens to me a lot is taking more time to decide what I'm gonna wear to go shopping than the time it actually takes to finish the shopping trip, then regretting that I wore high heels. Or making sure that I'm passable and looking good when I'm taking out the trash because I might meet a neighbor during that minute I'm outside my apartment.
At one time I apologized to a woman for almost bumping into her but then it turned out that I was a little lost, turned the wrong way at the top of the stairs in a hotel and I almost bumped into a wall, covered with a big mirror and I didn't recognize myself in the mirror. I felt quite silly after that but I was also happy that I passed in my own eyes :D

I've done that before. I think the most recent time was when I stepped out of the shower and saw my refection in the mirror. I kinda looked at it and thought "That can't be me can it?' But of course it surely was and that was the time it all clicked I was being foolish worrying what other people saw because even I couldn't see a man! - and I'm my own worst critic.
The time before was when I walked past a shop front and saw this woman walking in the reflection. I thought to myself wow she looks good be nice if... then I realized i was being silly cause she was me. That had me bemused for a few days.
I think it's great that you see a beautiful woman in the mirror.
I'm looking forward with hope that I get to that point.

Waxing and then NOT exfoliating properly left me with 2 weeks from hell....
But my latest comes today,
While on my sons school trip to the zoo as a parent helper presenting as male, a couple of ladies who were zoo volunteers said 'Hey we were both just admiring your shirt, may I ask where you go it?" me "Oh thanks, i got it from the mens section in H&M" ....--Now see 'Men' don't usually need to state what gender section of a department store they got their shirt from.....ever!......... ( I also got a cute lace blouse, scoop shirt, 3 femme t-shirts, a cute pair of pointed flats and a cool thin belt - but at the very end of long shop, popped into mens section and also bought 2 t-shirts because they were very cool designs - and quite femme to be honest.... ;-)
Sonja.
Having a bloomin onion at Outback the night before my annual check up. Of course my lipid test was off the charts....
Wearing a super short skirt to pick up my kid from daycare. She decides wanting to go to the playground and once we arrived, I decided to bend down to tie her shoes. Women don't bend down for a reason in situations like this.
Getting a panic call from one of my customers that something does not work (I think it was the elevator phones). I get there and the panel I need to get to is mounted close to the ceiling. I grab a ladder, climb up and fix the issue. The old guy building engineer sitting on a chair close by, observing what I do with a lot of interest. Aside from the 3 inch heels I was wearing on the ladder, I was also wearing a skirt. Somehow my old "get it done" self took over that moment.
Trying to get attention from men in situations that aren't the best... The thing is I don't want anything romantic or sexual. Maybe just friends?
