I planned to get some little presents for my parents this afternoon.
Because my voice was terrible this morning and my hair was a mess and I did not feel like going through my normal routine to look half decent, I just put on my male clothes and went to a shopping center nearby.

I did not want to get cash from the ATM because they charge extra money for it and I don't want to use cash if it's not necessary. And since my credit card has my male name on it I thought I will be able to use it without problems since I'm wearing male clothes anyway.

The shopping was terrible, almost got knocked over by an impatient woman who just hit me with a shopping trolley on purpose. Really don't understand it, I'm always trying to leave as much room as I can when I'm in a crowded environment.

I didn't have a lot of choice in choosing which queue I join because of the crowd.
I got to a cashier who I know from an earlier encounter, she is always complaining about something.

I gave her my credit card, and the following conversation took place:

Cashier: "Ma'am you can't be [male first name]. You can only pay with your own card as it says here on the sticker."

Me: "But that is my card."

(She misunderstood it, she heard this is my husbands card or something.)

Cashier: "You can't use your husbands card, go to the bank and request a card for yourself for that account."

At this point I really did not want to start to prove that I am male. 

Me: "OK then, can I get money from the ATM?"

Cashier: "Use the ATM nearby and be quick because people are waiting."

Of course the only ATM nearby was from another bank so they charged even more for cash withdrawal.

Then I dropped everything in the bag and left as quickly as I could.

Got off the train and was walking down the street in Queens. One of the gypsy cab drivers approaches me and says, "taxi, miss?" Oh boy! I was over the moon. Of course I smiled and said,"no thanks!"

All of yesterday was spent doing housework except I had to pop out and pick up the roast for the Christmas dinner tomorrow, I wasn't feeling like putting on makeup just to go to the butchers so I just showered, shaved and ran out the door.

The butcher was really nice, gave me a 30% discount but on my way home I stopped by the beer store, I finish returning in the cans/bottles I had in the car and then decided to get some beers and invite a friend over for chicken wings and beer.

I line up, waiting my turn, as I approach the cashier smiles, asks "will that be all miss", then asks me for ID (eeeek), my drivers licence has a 3y/o photo on it and was taken on a particularly bad morning, so I hand over the ID and the cashier tilts his head, one side of his mouth opens slightly, then he stands there for about 10 seconds, looks at the ID, back at me, back at the ID, over and over. Finally he hands back the ID, say's "Thank you sir", but as I'm turning around to leave he says "Don't forget your change miss".

I think I broke is fragile little mind ...

I went to see my PCP for the first time and on the new visit paperwork it asks what the reason for this visit it so I put down gender transition/hormones. The provider takes a look at the paperwork and says "so you're female to male."

I was tickled and she was surprised. I'm actually her first MtF patient.

I went to use the male bathroom and some guy yell at me from outside of the bathroom and hes like ""hey! Honey! your going to the wrong bathroom!!!!!"

Then i was walking home and i had 2 different guys catcalling me. Its really creepy but guys usually don't catcall each other so im counting those as passes!

I also had a guy offer me a ride out of nowhere which was really really creepy. He pulled up and said hey baby do you need a ride.

All of this in one night!

When you're shopping for a bra and someone comes to you asking for sizing help

Went to Bunnings yesterday to get some Acetone(It's a long story) and when I got to the checkout the guy there looked at my face and then at my chest and back at my face. Seemed confused. XD

I thought this was something that only happened in the movies.  Nope...it happened to me twice last week.  It's like a simultaneous feeling of awww ...and ewwww

I can't believe guys actually do this.

When all the male clients at work refer to me as sir, even though my co-workers maintain the fem pronouns, even in the same conversation. Lol

In the check-out line at the local Dollar General store.  When it was my turn to pay, I gave $ to the cashier and received my change, but forgot to pick up the bag until I had walked around 5 feet from the checkout.  Went back, and the cashier (a man in his late 60's)looks at me and said, "Can we help you, Maam?"  Told that I came back for my items, but cashier had already placed customer's items in with mine.  Customer looks in the bag, then back at me, telling cashier, "You put her stuff in with mine!"  Customer and cashier jointly take my items out of customer's bag and places them in a separate bag for me.  "Merry Christmas, Ma'am" they both say to me on the way out the door. 

OMG.  I'm 61, pre-HRT, no makeup, out on Christmas Eve, with a barely female voice, almost too tall for a woman (at 6'1") and they're referring to me as "Ma'am" and "her".  Therapist told me that I totally vibe female in spite of how I might look to me.  Guess I'll believe him now.

Out with my hair clean but a mess. Person trying to sell me perfumes and aftershaves from a brand just starting here in Australia says.
"Here I'll put this on me, we don't want you smelling like a man"

She instantly made a sale with that comment

I went to the mall today with less make up with a long pixie cut and did not have any questioning look at all. Used the women's washroom a couple of times full of patrons even used the mirror to groom myself and put on some lipstick and no look was given.

I went grocery shopping after with a long line up of people and again no attention given the cashier even asked me "Do you need any bags ma'am?"

YAY! I was mentally patting myself at the back. I passed!

Having dinner in a diner last night, group of 4 early twenties guys come in and sit down at the next table but one. 

One looks at me and says to his friend 'How about a bit of foreigner?'

Another replies 'She's way too old!'

A couple months ago I went with a friend to a store because I wanted to get jeans. When I went to the fitting room, I was told "oh, this is the ladies fitting room, the one for men is over there" and I would up having to go to that other dressing room to try on the clothes.

Last night I went to the same exact store, this time to buy enough pants for the work week as this coming week is my first time full time at work. I went up to the fitting room and pretty much paraded in there, was treated super nicely and able to go in without anyone questioning me or having any doubt. I was just another of the many women going in and out. ^^

When at an LGBT slowdance and a queer gentleman asks you to dance and his parter spins your companion assuming that she's the lover you speak off and that you are garden variety lipstick lesbians.

I was visting a friend recently and went to a community Christmas party with her.  While there I went to the bar to get a drink and when the bartender handed it to me he said "here you go my dear".

It's so wonderful hearing all of these self-affirming stories!

Two days ago, my boyfriend and I walked into a grocery store. A couple of guys were peddling their family portrait things. So the guy asked if we had kids, I said  "no" and my fiancé said "not yet." Then the guy asked if we're expecting. It tickled me!

.......... the waitress in the restaurant thinks your older brother and Sister-In-Law are your Mother and Father, and I'm their daughter.

And the mushrooms weren't off. She was quite genuine.

Still laughing.

When You socialise and interact with strangers and it all SUDDENLY goes very well, and when You only have issues in situations when You have to show other people Your ID.

When you walk by the peep show store and they leave you alone.
