When a cisfemale asks you how men think and you reply, no idea, and mean it.

So true I can't honestly answer that one

You have a salesgirl comment on a male co-worker as difficult to train and you automatically reply ,'But he's a man, what do you expect" and not even stop to wonder what made you say that.
And yes , I have done just this recently.

So Awsome

Before you've come out to your wife, she pokes you in the ribs and says "I saw you looking at her."

You answer, "But honey, I was just checking out her heels," and mean it.

You're still in trouble either way.

That's so true

when you pick out an outfit, and think "I hope this makes my butt look big"

Can't think of how many times I thought that

you browse susans.org daily and are giddy about little things like, being on HRT for 6 months or posting a new picture you have taken out of 10 or 20 to finally show off who you are inside.

When you are able to say "yes im a girl" for the first time to someone without feeling shame or guilt from your fears.

I finally had that conversation with my grandmother yesterday an and educated her on what trans is felt so good to finally be able to say I have a girls brain in guys body

....when a friend makes a jape involving one's genitals freezing solid and falling off, and you wish that it would actually happen to you.

I've definently thought of that before

When your primary consideration for clothes is not,"will this make me look fat?" It is," will I pass in this?"

Yes I'm still workin on that one

... you have morning sickness and you are not pregnant.

Well ... my comment gets this set-up:

My endocrinologist first prescribed DES as six 1 mg tablets each morning. Sometimes I got 'morning sickness'. When / where I was still presenting as male, I could not / did not explain why. Once I transitioned to female, my female co-workers recognised my symptoms and asked me when I was due - thinking I was pregnant, their sentiments unknowingly encouraging me to feel even more female than I could ever imagine.

Those co-workers did not find out because I was working temp assignments that lasted maybe a couple months or so - never enough time to 'show'.

Added to the morning sickness, those symptom must have cued my brain because I frequently experienced night-time dreams of being pregnant on days when I had morning sickness..

So Awsome I hope to have those to

I know the feeling exactly. Bought 2 new pairs of shoes yesterday and was so happy that they fit.

Yes, I'm a girl, a woman and trying to become a lady! And you're so right - the fear is gone.

You spend more on electrolysis than you do on your food, clothes and housing combined.

So right! I sometimes forget to eat. But, I never forget my electrology appmnt.

- When dating someone that doesn't know your history involves issues that most people never have to worry about.

- When you see your previous gender's clothes on sale somewhere and the thought of ever putting them back on makes you feel physically ill.

- When you take a handful of pills each morning and each night and are excited to do so.

That happy thrill you feel when somebody refers to you in the third person as "her" or "she".

...you are very familiar with meaning of HRT, SRS,GCS, FFS, and VFS.

I had been out of the 'community' since the mid-1980s - basically the past 30 years. I re-entered this past Springtime. When I saw those initials the first time, I kinda guessed what they meant and in context I knew for certain without anyone ever telling me or having to find it written somewhere. Perhaps it is in our instinct to know those alphabet soup parts of our process. I have had to explain these initials, terms, and concepts to some otherwise LGBT-friendly and aware associates and contacts.

My mother upon learning that I liked to wear feminine underwear posed this ? to me. Why? And the only answer that I could come up with was the soft texture of the fabric and the fit made me feel happy. She suggested that perhaps purchasing men's underwear that was made out of nylon might give me the same feeling. I agreed to try this and bought some (which were hard to find in the late '60's). Tried them for awhile. Positively didn't work

When people like your rambling posts on Susan's.

Lady Smith · October 05, 2015, 11:50:27 PM

When you're completely at home in your own skin and you know that all the pain and difficulty you've been through is totally worth it.
