I've always had long hair and have jokingly been called a female name that's close to my male name. "little do they know haha" and would just laugh but recently when joked around like that I answer to the female name joke. They either get it or they don't and I have no idea if they do yet.
I started shaving my arms after a few months on HRT, nobody has noticed. My legs too but I wear pants every day so if they have noticed then apparently someone has some Xray vision going on.
I got my ears pierced a few months ago and only a handful of people asked me what's up. I made up a story about my niece getting her ears pierced and how scared she was so I got mine done to show her it wasn't painful. Nobody has asked me since then.
I got my hair cut with bangs and I started having my eye brows waxed to appear more feminine. Nobody has noticed the hair or eyebrows which drives me up the walls lol. I keep my hair in a pony tail at work but my bangs to pop out from time to time. I wear safety glasses but my eyebrows are very visible and I have many conversations where I'm face to face with a person 1 foot away from me. Still nobody has noticed or is willing to ask now.
I have lost 30 lbs and have been asked what I was doing. Taking better care of myself is the answer I give.
I look much better and have some really smooth skin now and people ask me what I've been doing. I tell them the same thing, I've been taking better care of myself and eating much healthier. But really it's the Spiro & Estrogen that are doing most of the work.
I look much younger than before and nobody believes me when I say I'm 30! I still get carded when I go to a bar and I never go to one and drink when I'm out authentically because I know i'll have to show my male ID. Bleh.
