By an older lady (60ish) at my local Walgreens. This isn't the first time it has happened, but it is the first time I didn't feel the need to correct anyone about it. Also it's not so suprising because I buy so many feminine items there and an FTM is an assistant manager. I really love the staff there and feel fortunate to have a place I can shop without worrying what people will think. A nice silver lining today ;D
Good for you Phoebe :)
Getting ma'med does feel good :icon_chick: Even if it's non verbal like guys holding the door for you or checkin' you out. Women chatting with you like one of the girls etc. ;)
It is always welcome when the average Jolie-on-the-street even see our true nature.
Good for you Hon.

There's a lady at the local wal-mart(who knows I'm t/s) that actually goes out of her way to call me "ms. lady". For all the snickers, looks, & occasional off color comments, it all becomes meaningless when others who are kind do & say these things.
It does make one feel real good to get called Maam.
Just an hour or so i was in the local WalMart where i am now living.
On the way out, the person at the door that was spot checking customers purchased, commented, Have a nice evening Maam
It did feel so good

Cool girl! That must've been an uplifting experience. :) :) :)
I used to be embarrassed by that kind of stuff before I realized I was TG but now I long for it lol.

My whole Freshmen year of Highschool was everyone thinking I was a girl, I reflect back on it and I loved it. Even though it was embarrassing then.
Congratz though! It most have felt really nice! :)
Thank you everyone. Your support is very important to me now.
Tyler, it was the same with me in high school, everyone thought I was a girl or gay. The school nurse actually called me in for a "hernia" exam without doing any other tests, all she did was feel my balls. I had already dropped out of PE and wasn't involved in any athletic program. Why the hell would they need to check me for a hernia unless it was part of a complete physical? They threw me out of shop class and forced me into home economics where I learned how to cook and sew.
They put up with me because I had to be there and treated me like a "thing" instead of a human being. I had doctors and other medical professionals treating me like a specimen to be observed...I really hate those bastards.
It makes me so angry when I look back and think about how hateful people were then...and now.
...ugh

Gosh, I'm sorry. This topic was supposed to be about something positive but I let the negative get to me again. I keep having to fight this impulse to feel victimized instead of acting empowered.
Being a whiny, victimized bitch is not a feminine trait anyone admires. Yet it is in me. It's all about growing up, whether your a boy or a girl.
