My binder came in a couple of days ago and I've been wearing it everyday after showering :D
Today I got my first "Excuse me, son" and I couldn't help but grin foolishly. Just the other day I got a "Are you being helped, ladies" so the huge leap from "ladies" to "son" was extremely gratifying.
Can't help it but I'm still ecstatic :)
That's great news Nate. I remember how good that felt in the early days and to be honest I still get a buzz from it even now and I've not had anyone refer to me as anything other than male pronouns in over a year.
Also, I have found that the more people do this the more confident you will get and then the more it will happen. The confidence has a knock on effect. Really pleased for you mate ;D
Thats awesome dude! ;D
Thanks Snowdoggy, Jay.
I'll probably still be really excited in the future like you said! I've just come out to my GLBT club at school so this school year, I expect a few mess ups but a whole lot more male pronouns so I'll be very pleased.
i feel your joy ;D
i know how amped my son was to
1) get the binder
2) have those moments of passing
Congrats. And I'm jealous. I've been sired once in binder, then as soon as I turned around he said 'Oh I mean maam' Gaaahh!

its just a beautiful moment, when the first times of he, son. the feeling of acceptance. :)
im so happy for ya man!
Congrats, Nate!
I've been "sir-ed" but never son lol. My favorite is just when they stare at me and my boyfriend and get "disgusted" because we're gay...but that means they are acknowledging that I'm a man. :laugh:
Ahaha! Way to be!
It's a wiiicked feeling, and though it doesn't happen to me much it's like....
a super high. =]
Happy for ya, no doubt.
Nate, congratulations man! That is so awesome for you. :)
Think about all the more additional sons, sirs, hey guy, etc. in the future headed your way!
Thanks everyone, and yes it is an awesome feeling :D I thought I was just being a dork for posting this, I was so shocked when people actually replied haha.
To the guys that haven't been sir'ed yet: It's coming :) I wouldn't say I "pass" 100% yet, so I'm sure I'll get the occasional "ma'am"...oh wait I still do. Haha.
nah, totally understand that feeling. really makes your day, especially that first one. confidence boost from the binder then you get son... another boost. congrats.
the son part cracks me up. i haven't gotten it since i've been on T, now i get sir.
Cool, Nate. It'll just get better and better.
*hugs* ;D

Nah, that's what these boards are for, to post those little moments of triumph where others understand how great it is. It gives others hope too. Congrats and wishing you many more "sirs".
