Well most of my friends are giant perverts. Occasionally something can be said that you wouldn't take as sexual, such as my example of wanting to go home and pet my kitten, that they all twist into something that is sexual. In my example I was talking about my cat, 4 paws a tail and meows, they took it as petting my other cat with two lips and a clit.

Disclaimer although I'm not post op, my friends don't really care and act as if I am instead of still having the birth defect known as a penis.

Yep exactly the same for me, food is now a subject I can't talk about with them without it being sexual.

I dislike:
- those moments when greeting another girl and they want to kiss cheaks and I don't realise and go for my preferred hug greeting (I don't know the latter just seems so cold and reserved in comparison to a nice hug)
- Being too 'dainty' to jump in and spilt up dogs when an argument goes to far
- not being able to hide my emotions and seeming like a child when I sob over little things
- Needing to eat full meals to feel satisfied
- Guys being dishonest just to try and convince me to have sex with them
- having to pee every few hours and then having to both wipe and shake and then some still drips out making a wet patch
- not being able to be as alert and focused and also being clumsy and a bit dumb with simple physics
- dogs are always sniffing my crouch with cold and wet noses
- never being able to save any money or buying anything that will hold its value for more then a day

But isn't it all of that, that we love so much  Shoes, Clothes/Fashion, Makeup, Hair, Painting toes, Filing chipped nails, everything except toilet queues 

Can't wait to be fulltime  (But my thoughts could change  )

Chipping nails is the only reason I get acrylics now, I'm fed up with growing only to chip, so I get acrylics, I get a very nude colour so they can be painted over, my current colour is salmon.
This week, after pulling 2 off I noticed a dint in my index nail, a little worrying.

lining up for the loo, get used to it.
You've got to plan, space your drinks, don't break the seal and go with a friend (need someone to talk to)

Shoes, I wore heels tonight, for the first time in months, my ankles are killing me. I never wear heels anymore.

I haven't started dressing en femme yet, but I'm not looking forward to clothing that comes in "sizes." Just give it to me in inches!

Growing out a pixie. How fast my hair grows and not being able to affordf a good dye. Not finding clothes that fit as I live in Philadelphia where women are, er,  bit bigger and I'm tiny. Being treated like a baby if I get emotional when I have every right too. Nothing else really. Wait... I wear light makeup, do my nails myself (and don't like long nails) Having to wear a bra and now needing to buy all new ones as they are way too tight. Then finding a bra that is a 32D, which is harder than you think in my city. Being told I'm on my period. Guys groping me. Though, that doesn't happen so much anymore as I'm usually out with the BF. And then always wondering if said BF is going to leave me for a real "woman." especially since I am pre-op and getting the money together seems impossible.

Really, being a guy was a whole lot easier, but I am what I am and had to do what I did. Luckily, I don't have the heels or chipping nails problem, as I don't do mani-pedis or wear heels. Though, I can see myself succumbing to the temptation when I have the money. But the biggest problem (no pun intended) is my non-stop breast growth. They're so big for my frame, not in general, just for me. They look huge and I feel like I'm all boobs,  hips and a butt. Especially since I wear skinny jeans and tight tops 24/7. I have a whole punk rock thing going on and my BF wants me to dress more demure and femme, as I don't pull off the hardcore look cause I'm too adorable looking (according to him).

And just men in general. I'm not allowed at their functions anymore. I get looked at like I'm nuts if I know anything about anything deemed masculine.  Number one: still having to tell people I was born or assigned MAAB and having their jaws drop.

Muffin top...

God I hate that, HIDING the muffin top... Having people look at me like Im NUTS when I bitch about it....

Spending a whole day shopping and trying on clothes and shoes/boots only to buy nearly nothing.... Then what looked GREAT at the store always seems 50/50 at home and its a real accomplishment if it actually makes it into the rotation and gets worn... Having more clothes that I WONT wear than the few items I do wear.... I wont do heels or tights/hose dresses/skirts ever... WHY do they only look good when you try them on in the store but NEVER at home Shoes... it seems if I really like them they are almost guaranteed to be uncomfortable OR they will have every size but mine ;( Come to think of it that applies to tops and just about everything else too 

Yes I actually have a love/hate deal with shopping, SO much work for me to find clothes I love...
My rule is I have to love it or I aint buying it...  Oh yea same with jewelry, very hard to find quality at reasonable prices... I HATE cheap rings that turn my fingers blue and the plating lasts a week at most...

Shaving, I hate having to shave my body even though its a night and day difference now that T is gone and E rules... I wont allow it to get very long though.... Epilating is better but I hate the pain and all the little red dots... Its all light colored except my pits and pubes at least... Id gonna ask my laser girl about doing my pits at my next appointment Monday... Thank God my face is almost done...

Damn periods, PMS, cramps, etc.... hate it!

Having read all these posts, I have to say that one thing I hate about being female is having to hear how hard it is to be female.  Of course, that's something I've heard all my life.  And it's true that since I came out full-time, there are a number of things that are somewhat harder now than what I had to face in my old life.

But I don't care.  Make harder if you like.  Make it as hard as you want to.  Because I'm never going back to my old life.  As hard as this life might be, it's not nearly as hard as my old life was.

I mean, true, my nail polish chips depressingly often.  But I do get to wear nail varnish now.  And yes, make-up takes time to put on.  But look at the result once it's on.  And maybe my current clothing isn't as comfortable as what I used to wear.  But it certainly does suit me better.  And yes, I do get some misogynistic harassment on occasion.  But that doesn't mean I want to be male.  It just means I wish certain males would behave a bit better.

In short, add up all the complaints I have now, and maybe my new life is only 98% better than my old life, rather than 100%.  Still not a bad swap.

Gees.. and It thought I was the only one !   

As stated earlier I don't dislike anything about being a woman, however, I need to add to my pet peeves:

1. My monthly cycle. Yes, it's gotten less intense now that the hormone war within me is over and E is dominant, but it's still there and makes one week   out of every month miserable.

2. Finding tops and dresses my size. I'm tiny built for my height of 5-5 and very short in the torso. So as a result most tops I find are way too long or just too big in general. Also my dress size is a 2 to 4, and while I can find this online easily here locally it's impossible to find those sizes or even a small/SP. Everything is a medium or bigger. I also have a problem locally finding jeans long enough for my legs that still fit me around the waist and hips.

3. And lastly and the worse is the perverts sending me photos of their private parts often times stimulated, over Skype and on Facebook. This is both disgusting and repulsive.

However that being said, I love the fact I'm female and wouldn't trade it for an instant. For me it was harder trying to be a guy than it is being a woman. For me being a woman comes natural.

Why oh why do people abuse over social media? That's so gross! Feel for you 

Sooooo with you on the last statement.

Ooh BTW Jeans for me (and I love 'em) are always too long in the leg... Parents to blame both had short legs 

By the way you look so demure in your pic, would die for those legs 

L Katy

Can't say I hate this but it does make me laugh in frustration sometimes.

Same shirt maybe cut a little different for boobs. Place the buttons on the other side and the price goes up by double if you're lucky.

Thanks Katy. My biological mom had long legs too. Trust me they can be a pain at times when trying to fit into tight places, lol! but otherwise, me legs are my best attribute. I wear wedges and heels a lot 4" and over that really make them stand out. Especially these new wedges I got for an early Christmas present. They're comfortable to wear and walk in too but I've never had a problem finding shoes as I have very narrow feet.

You look great and very happy in your Avatar pic too. I hope your having a great holiday weekend!

Ally

1. Bras. I tend to avoid them when I can. Probably invented by a guy ! 
2. High heels. Can't walk on them, refuse to walk on them.
3. Being not taken seriously by men, and society in general.

Hi Allyda... Wedges are sooo comfortable, eh

L Katy

Makeup! I don't like makeup!

Good too Hanazono... but with short legs... need some lift
