I have been told a few times, even by people at work where I only transitioned about 2 months ago, that I can make the most manly activity appear girlie. So, I think the most girlie thing about me is my personality. I don't have a lot of particularly feminine interests, rather more masculine ones. But, I apparently make those look girlie too. Hmm, works for me.

Here's a fun story.

I work in a mostly female environment.  One day 6 or 7 women were hanging around in my office chit chatting with my office mate while I was deeply focused on my work.  (We share a fairly big office.)  Somehow (I have no idea how) the subject of trans women came up.  Of course my ears perked up; no one at work knows about my transsexual history.  One of the women was saying that she has a cousin who is in transition from male to female.  So I chimed in that I was thinking about calling my mother to tell her that I'm going to become her son, that I'm thinking about becoming a man.  They all looked at me for a moment, and then they all exploded in laughter.  They laughed until they cried.  The general concensus among the assembled women is that there is no one in the building who is least likely to be able to pass as a man than I am.

What's girly about me?  Look up girly in the dictionary and there will be a picture of me.  My nails are always painted bright colors.  I love to play with makeup, even if I have no intention of leaving the house, I get up in the morning and put on makeup just because it brings me joy.  I love to style my waist length straight soft hair in extreme girly styles that I pick up from anime cartoons and Barbie Dolls.  I have a "thing" for soft girly sweaters and bright pink or red lips.  I love to keep my bangs just long enough to brush my eyelashes; it feels sexy and girly to me.  As a competitive pool player, I tend to be a great big flirt with the boys even as I kick their butts at the pool table... I enjoy the flirtatious attention of men.  And I really love the way I look in heels and a light dress, bent over a pool table, my long pink, blue, purple, black, brown and red streaked hair spread out across the table, with the boys watching my derriere.

I mean seriously... what isn't girly about me?

Hugs,
Miharu

(Did I mention my predilection for corsets?  I wear corsets everyday, laced as tight as I can get them.  I want to see just how small I can get my waist over time.   And I'm a very big fan of flashy, sparkly, girly belts that show off my tiny, corsetted waist.  The list goes on....)

......I am also girly when I run intensely on the treadmill for an hour and a half listening to gangsta rap.

Too cute!  My guilty little secret is that I listen to a lot of Insane Clown Posse.  Sometimes I think I should have taken the name "Anomaly".   

I don't know if there is a whole lot about me that's girly.  Like some others have said it's more of an emotional thing with me.  A happy or sad ending to a movie and the tears start flowing.  I also believe I think more like a woman even after spending my whole life being trained as a man.  Just listening to some of things my male coworkers say...well I just don't get it.

One thing about me that is girly though.  I spend at least an hour and a half in the bathroom every morning getting ready to go to work (IN MALE MODE!) only to get dirty the minute I start working.  I can only imagine what it's going to be like when I go full time and want to look perfect before I leave the house.  I may have to give up sleeping.

Well as we're playing to sterotypes - I like pretty things. I like fabrics and colours and fashion & fashion photography. I like nice light feminine perfumes. I like co-operating not competing (though where that stereotype about women came from I do not know - it's blatantly untrue). I'm gentle & thoughtful and caring. I'm very emotional. I'm needy. Many of my gestures, movement and poses are girly and people often tease me about this. I like it when my handwriting looks feminine and I was extremely pleased when a colleague commented on this. I used to love having long tangly hair but that's gone now but I still find myself acting as though it should be there sometimes. When I dance I move like a girl (so i tend to avoid dancing).  I always choose female characters in games that give you the choice.

There's no point in me bothering with makeup because I'm so physically male that I look like a dog but I would like to look pretty and attractive.

I want to be held by a nice loving man.

I wish I had the female gift for conversation.
