So today was pretty funny. Made my day actually.

So, i work at a high school. And i dress in mens pants and im pretty tall i like to think i pass alright, especially among these kids.

So nature calls and im headed to the bathroom, i go to the ladies room still but in order to get there i had to trail through a group o guys. They saw where i was headed and started freaking out for me like, "duuuuuuude nooo don't go in there!!"
And then i didnt proceed to realize it was because of me. Then all the girls in said bathroom gave me odd looks but soon as they saw my face they knew i was female. But the guys were still freakin in the hallway. Telling everyone a guy just went in the girls bathroom, i was giddy and honestly laughing so hard. I left and that was that, didnt realize i passed all that well amongst the young folk xD

Anyone got funny passing stories? I wasn't really trying to pass but the fact its getting to a point in my appearance that it causes turbulance is kinda cool to me ^^;

Worrying about passing is thankfully a thing of the past for me, but sometimes it comes up in unexpected ways.

I was at the bank the other day (I'm there all the time because of my job, getting change for the register) and the bank teller made some comment about how I don't have to worry as much about my appearance because I'm a guy.

It's like, being trans is something I deal with on a daily basis and sometimes I forget that now that I've been on T for over a year it's not really obvious to anyone else.  So it took a second for her comment to sink in.

If a girl can join in. The day I fronted to work as me on of the guys asked 'does this mean we have to leave the toilet seat down in the gents?'

He seemed quite concerned! I told him it wasn't a problem as I would never be in that loo again, he seemed very happy about that!

I'm currently in the toilets wondering what to say when I come out because I got challenged by the cleaner cleaning the floor outside as I walked in. I completely ignored her and now I don't know what a "girl" would say in my situation...

Well the funniest time I could remember was actually before I had come out. I was with a friend out of town and she needed to use the restroom. We were in a supermarket so she decided to go before we left. I had always dressed "tomboyish" and had just recently cut my hair into a very stylish fauxhawk. I followed her into the restroom and got a very puzzled/startled look from a woman who had just finished washing her hands. She left and a minute later a worker from the store came in and told me I needed to leave the restroom. Before I could explain to her the situation she forced me from the restroom. Needless to say that I was embarrassed beyond belief and to make matters worse I had to sit outside the restroom and wait for my friend. When she finally came out she asked what the yelling was about I told her what happened and she found the worker and told her about me. She then apologized about...maybe ten times before my friend was satisfied and we left.

Funny thing about it is like I said I wasn't out yet. To know I passed was awesome!! Getting embarrassed was not. lol

dunno if this counts cos the person who took me as a guy this time was not more than 2yrs old!
well, we were standing in line to buy icecream, a man with this kid in front of me and my mother behind. babies like me in general, or they just think my glasses are cool. anyways this kid too was staring at me. i smiled and he smiled back, thought for a moment and blurted out 'uncle' referring to me. okay i'm 18 and the kid had no right to call me uncle, but i was thrilled cos he had gendered me right. then the kid's father turned and saw that i could not possibly be an uncle for the kid, and tried to correct him 'its not uncle son, its..' and he hesitated, obviously trying to figure out whether to refer to me as brother or sister, while looking up and down on me. that was when mom broke in 'its sister. sister looks like a brother, doesn't she' she said to the kid. then mom and the kid's father pestered the kid until he agreed to call me sister. i was just standing there, smiling like a cheshire cat.

Yeah, kids are surprisingly good at correctly gendering people sometimes. My niece-in-law, on first introduction, started calling me "Uncle Steph." I wasn't trying to transition yet, so I let her mother correct her, but I still love her a little extra for it.

talking of kids, i was at a birthday party two years back, and i got chatty with this little boy of 5. he bragged about starting school in the coming year, and the school he was planning to attend was the adjoining school to ours, in fact they call it our brother school. (mine is a girls school) so i said 'oh that's the school right next to ours' and the kid looked at me in disbelief 'the school next to ours is *my school*' i say 'yeah of course that's my school' the kid still didn't believe me and said i was lying. then i asked him to go ask *a girl we both know* if he couldn't believe me so much. so he goes to her and asks 'that BROTHER says he goes to *my school*. he's lying isn't he? it's a girls school!' it made the whole party laugh and they managed to convince him that i was a girl with much effort, cos they couldn't go into details about breasts and the only other feminine feature i had that day was the earrings. all i could do was watching them trying to prove me as a girl, putting on a fake smile.

Earlier this year, I was in the women's restroom at a McDonald's, washing my hands. This woman comes out the stall, pauses in her tracks when she sees me, looks at the door like she's about to bolt.

Another time, a woman told me I was in the wrong restroom.

So, I just started using the men's room because I got tired of wondering if people were going to call the cops on me or something. And I'm not even on T yet.
