I actually enjoy being clocked.  Call me weird/crazy, but I am a mischievious/onrey little botch and am tickled pink by it.  I have even had people cast bets in front of me, only for me (depending on my mood if I want to pass off as "male" or "female") tell the person I am male or I am female just because I want to see if they really know or not...which case most people don't.  Because: the answer is neither.  The SRS is to get rid of the bits and not change my identity.  But hey, if they are going to try and have fun at my expense I might as well have fun with them.

I LOVE THIS. I don't "enjoy" people clocking or speculating about me as it is none of their business, but I do enjoy messing with peoples' heads. More power to you, hun! 

Yup. One of the fun things of androgyny is watching the reactions of people as they attempt to process the dissonant gender clues you send them.  "Does not compute. Does not compute. Does not compute."  LOL

hahaha so true

I will say from past experience that some people don't like to be messed with. When I was 22, some friends and I were in a small little hole-in-the-wall bar and some guy started harassing two transgender girls for "messing" with him. I'm pretty sure he was the one flirting with them and then he realized they were transgender. (side note, I was being a long-haired boy that day) One of my awesome hippy friends - I used to call her big mama Sarah - kicked him out of the bar. She didn't work there either, she just kicked him out.

The moral of the story is don't put yourself in a bad position and be safe. Also, you me and everyone thats TG is an ambassador for the TG community. It kind of sucks but its also kind of neat.

Possible, but most people are just completely clueless about transgender "triggers" like misgendering.  They don't do it to be intentionally mean, its just how they react. Especial men.  Double especially older men.

Yeah, I know how that is. I go through the same thing with my dad, a friend of his, and my brother. I don't think that they mean to do it in a spiteful manner, they are just really dumb. I know that sounds harsh, but trust me, if you met them you would understand. My mom tries to rationalize it by saying, "well, it's their drug/alcohol use that has turned their brains into mush". But, I don't buy that. EVERYONE in my family has drank or did drugs at one point or another. I did it myself for years (but only to run away from the GID). But, if I were a cis person and I had a friend that was transitioning, I would never be so stupid as to misgender them and then cop out with such a lame excuse. Besides, I've always been pretty good with change and remembering things like that. The others are just moronic, imbecilic and downright dumb.

I wouldn't worry about it. When I'm in my male mode talking to several CIS girls I always say, "what are you guys up to today?"

Since they are CIS girls they don't think twice about it.
