We were at a friends house warming party last night and my wife had a little too much to drink. (The evening before her birthday.) She was talking to a guy that asked how long we had been together. She replied that we been together 19 years and married in TN nearly 17 years ago. He looked at us and was confused and asked how could we be married in TN since gay marriage isn't allowed there are anywhere in the US 17 years ago. My wife wasn't thinking and outed me (which didn't bother me in that particular crowed of mostly artists, but I later asked her not to do that ever again and she apologized profusely about it later.) Anyway she told him that I was male as the time of our marriage. He couldn't believe it and said he would have never known.

TN is a kind of conservative state?
Yes. Males tend to be preoccupied with the thing between the two legs, while women see the overall appearance of a person.

That's one reason we don't ever want to move back there. (That is where my wife and I met.) We are going there for Thanksgiving next week. Fortunately most of her family is not religious. Some of mine there is and some are not, but we will be spending most of Thanksgiving with her family.

Awesome! That must have felt nice and embarrassing at the same time.

Today during lunch break at work, I walked around with my friend and we decided to go inside MAC to look at some blushes. A make up artist approached us and said "Is there anything I can do for you ladies?" (insert: this is with a pixie cut). After that we went to the drugstore across the street to look at some drug store make up and the sales associate approached me and asked, "ma'am after you are done, please pay for your item at the cosmetics section please"

MUSIC TO MY EARS!

Just want to share this with you ladies xo

Today at work one of my younger occasional weekend punters came in we've had a few conversations before, just the usual hi how are you sort of things. Today she asks if I have a charger for an iphone 5. When I told her no, her reply.
"Oh so your still a 4 girl then"

I passed the eyeball test with conversation,  with a girl around my age bracket.  YES

I've had several compliments on my dress sense and style, although I still don't know where I got it from.  I was at a social afternoon at my local church on Sunday and chatted with a group of women.  At the end of the chat one of them said she liked to see a really feminine woman.

SRO Lounge in San Diego with the one and only MaidofOrleans

I went down to visit her in San Diego this weekend. We went out on Saturday night and then played airsoft all day yesterday. We were the only girls there, it was kinda hilarious. I am gonna have to go down again soon, had way too much fun.

Next time you're in San Diego visit me xD

You know you pass when you are able to walk past a group of boys in middle school without them saying anything

The woman sitting next to my wife and I at the restaurant last night assumed from our wedding rings that we were ditching our husbands for the evening.  Even after plenty of references to us living together, she still didn't get that we were married to each other. 

A guy tried to pick up on me at the grocery store, having a cold and not being too with it I was a bit slow on the uptake and then started sneezing and my nose started to run

Looking a bit confused, annoyed and frustrated he grumbled something that sounded rude with emphasis on the word b*tch as he walked away

Oh well...

Then one of the guys from the meat department came over saying "What a pr*ck!!! Here you go Ma'am" and gave me a couple of paper towels for my nose

Actually he asked me to help him find ham hocks, I told him he should ask one of the butchers

Sounds like a really classy guy who probably drives a rusty panel van with his pants down.

Today while I was Christmas shopping, I went into a card store.  The man behind the counter said, "You look familiar.  What's your name?"  I told him it was Jill and figured he had remembered me from my pre-transition days.   It doesn't happen much anymore mind you, but then the guy said how I look exactly like a girl he went to school with. 

Wow, I have a cisdoppelganger!

Ewwwwe, LOL I don't know but I was glad when he went away and appreciated the butcher's kind gesture

You lost your ID and are at the airport for your return flight.... Dumb girl.. seriously should not have gone skateboarding with your ID in your bra.... Now all you have to show them your credit card and medical insurance card....

The man at TSA tells you that you need an extra security screening and to wait while he gets an agent to do the screening. You see him look over his shoulder and call a woman TSA agent over. She doesn't appear to notice anything out of the ordinary during or act any differently after the pat down and extra security scan where you had a brief but pleasant conversation.

I thought back and realized I haven't been gendered as male since the summer. It's a good feeling.

I once noticed that security persons in the U.S. airports tend to be blunt, while in other countries they are obedient and kind. Yes. When necessary, women pat down me.

A few years ago, a young security woman at Gimpo airport asked me to show my ID and later shouted like "He is a man!" as another security woman was trying to touch me. I was a little bit upset, and said that she should not say that way. She just apologized. I understand that she should face several hundred or thousand passengers everyday. There should be numerous erratic people, and security persons should deal with them.

... when you are at a voice doctor who among other things also does voice surgeries on trans people and during the initial voice anylysis and examination the nurse keeps asking you why on earth your voice can go so low and that it is "almost in the male range at times" 

I had an appointment with my therapist today, and until now I had always gone in guy mode.  But I figured it was time for her to meet Kate. 

So I was sitting in the lobby waiting for our appointment.  She came out looked around, looked right at me, said hi, and then turned around to go back to her office because she though I wasn't there yet.  So I said, "wait...it's me."  She said, "Oh my God! I just figured you were some lady waiting for one of the other therapists." 

She was kind of giggly the first 5 minutes of our session, and had some very nice things to say.

I'm not sure that totally counts as passing...but I'll sure take it. 

When going to a job interview as a "man" and the gate-keeper of the building says "Hello miss, can I help you?"

I think we can count that one KatieJ.  It reminds me of the first time I went to the divorce mediator.  I arrived a bit early, and a bit over-dressed.  Then my wife arrived, took a quick look around and went to the reception desk.  The mediator came out, said hello to her and called me.  My wife looked round and did a double take.
