So I have been growing my hair out for about a year, and I was never the most masculine person in the world even when I had decent sized muscles and short hair. People would often pick on me for feminine behavior and mannerisms. Before I realized I was transgender it used to bother me because I was trying so hard to be manly... now that I am actively starting my transition, but still living as a male, I have people trying to pick on me all the time by them calling me a girl.

I find these cases to be really ironic... one guy at work was calling me his sister and he thinks its the funniest thing in the world . Another time I had a coworker whom I've never talked to be like "the first time I saw him I thought he was a women." The person who he told that to was like "haha did you hear that! he thought you were a women!"

I remember thinking "haha jokes on u sir... I am!" It made my day.

if any of you have any good stories you would like to share I would love to hear them.

first time presenting female was at london comic-con 2009, I felt great doing it (had waxed my whole body, and since I was shorter and skinner, I passed well as a girl. I was with some friends and there was a guy there taking pictures... only of girls, with camera at boob height (came off as a bit creepy). Anyway I spoke to him for a bit and he asked me for my number. I pointed out just for his sake that I was bio male (and ironically I was in a state of denial over my gender issues at the time).

He went very pale, turned and briskly walked away. I was laughing about that for weeks!

A more recent one. I went to the shops looking for my first pair of short shorts, found some really cute ones in the girls department and went to the changing rooms. I went with a female friend and the woman who was at the changing rooms (they arent signposted and it was my first time at the shops so I didnt know it was the girls) took the shorts straight out of my hand when I got to the front of the qeue and told me to wait while my friend tried them on (despite them being 6 sizes to big for her, shes tiny)

"wait, those are for me, actually."

She looked stunned, and the old dears in the qeue behind me just went very quiet. Thankfully one of the other members of staff came up to me with a smile and said: that's fine, but you'd need to go to the other dressing room, this one is for girls only. I apologized, took the shorts and went to the other one as the people in the qeue just watched me go. I tried them on, perfect fit, bought them. Best part was thinking how much of a natter the people behind me were probably going to have

two very different times, and yet both funny for me.

oh no! I think u broke the creepy guys heart lol. good for you though already got guys going for u and have you begun hormones yet.

nah, back when that happened I was lacking in facial hair and the muscle mass/wide shoulders I have now. Im a bit more square in shape so I altered my lifestyle so I at least can be slimmer now. I've not started hormones, but Im considering my options.
