The only people who have cat called me are guys driving by in cars or some of the guys and girls who are still in highschool, the one thats not far from where I live.

So I just ignore completely. Im flattered when girls catcall me but also annoyed because they are roo young. When guys catcall...i just dont like it. Makes me wanna run away lol

Never had it.

Happened to me once or twice before transitioning. It was flattering then, but now I think I would be a lil bothered by it.

I don't travel alone outside very much (thanks to having a constant companion for the entirety of my full-time existence). Thus I've never been catcalled.
I'm almost disappointed.
Still, I do sometimes get random guys at work saying "Hey" and smiling at me.

This has never happened to me but to be honest I dont think I would mind...

I'm new in transition... so I've only had it happen once. It was less of a catcall and more of a leer (I mean... a real and long leer).

I just kept walking. He looked at me, mostly at my legs in skinny jeans. I walked by him and he turned and looked at my legs and ass as I walked away.

It was very weird for me - this was over a month ago - and it felt both good and unnerving. I definitely felt vulnerable, but that's not a bad feeling unless it was also in an unsafe situation.

I have had that happen to me twice in the past 3 weeks Tarah. Long, long leers that made me very uncomfortable - it was unnerving as you said. I have talked to several women about it and they tell me that does happen, it's just guys being guys. I have some boobs now and I think that helps to bring on the leers.

It's a creepy feeling and a positive feeling both at the same time. Creepy just because...positive because while I might not think I'm that good looking, it tells me that the general public might and I'm too hard on myself.

Then again, I'm guilty of doing it to both parties... What can I say? Beautiful people are hard NOT to look at, but should be done so in moderation if it absolutely needs to be done. No need to undress with your eyes.

There is only one thing todo, Stick your nose up, walk tall, and give them the show they want. Because honey if youre not gonna strut your stuff youre wasting everyones time.

Love bugs!!

if they are cute i'll wave back and continue on my business, if not i yell "You aint got enough boo!"  and continue on lol

I've not been catcalled, at least yet, but I'm also old enough that I don't expect to be catcalled. However, two of my closest cisgender girlfriends keep warning me that it's going to happen. I have trouble believing that but we'll see.

I tend to just ignore cat callers. I wish I were brave or witty enough to say something snarky to them, but I'm just generally really fearful of escalating the situation into one with the risk of physical danger. When out in public alone, shades and headphones are a girls best friend!

Hey lovelies I had an interesting occurrence last night. Whilst walking past a pub window with my boyfriend all of a sudden I heard a catcall and looked back to see these guys in the window staring and smiling at me. I really didn't know what to make of it so I just lightly waved and keep walking. It's weird I found it both flattering and insulting at the same time.

Have you girls ever been catcalled? And if so how do you usually respond?

You did the right thing.  Eye contact, a little flirtatious wave, and a bit of a booty shake - assuming you are not alone.

I am weary of cat calls. I dont get them often cause I have not been going out much. When they did happen, I respond with my most prevalent "Engurish" accent  

Illustration:

Cat caller: "Hey baby wussup!"

Me: "Oh no sorreh no unduhstan"

Cat caller: Puzzled look on face how can tall looking black woman have Japanese accent?!?!?!?!

Me: LOLZ inside!

Peace and love!

Yup... welcome to the world of womanhood. Guys thinking that they have the privilege to eye you over like a piece of meat and undress you with their eyes is one of those great universal empowering/dehumanizing aspects of being a girl.

The first time it happened to me, I basically looked around to see if there was another woman behind me somewhere, because I was sure that it couldn't possibly be directed at me. But then when I saw the guy looking at me, I just sort of smiled, and then went off into a nervous corner somewhere because I was so sure that he was clocking me as trans and not whistling at me because I was attractive. (I had like no self-confidence at the time.)

Nowadays I just send the whistler a smirking half-grin, sort of a combination of smiling and rolling my eyes. And I guess that's my general reaction to it. I'm flattered, but also kind of horrified. I've never understood guys very well, not even in high school when this nonsense started in the first place, so my reaction is usually along the lines of "sigh... seriously, guys?"

I know you said this in jest, but what you said is pretty ****ing rude. The japanese alphabet/language is so very different to english, and so the pronunciation of certain words/letters is difficult when they don't exist in your native tongue.

Yes, I usually turn around and blow 'em a kiss then turn back around and keep walking. Only when it's day time though. If at night I just give a hello smile and keep walking. Really my reaction depend on the area, time of day and the group that the catcall comes from.

*sigh*

First of all I am from Japan what gives you the right to label me based on my post when you know nothing about me?

多分それはここに間違っている？たぶん、この理由は、誰と交流しないように十分でしょうか？

No need to be gettin' fussy here

Thank you
