I had breast augmentation surgery many years ago and the surgeon asked my partner afterwards if I was pregnant recently, as my breasts apparently leaked a bit during surgery. LOL   Also, seeing a GP for a checkup and then getting a cervical screening letter later in the year was fun.

It hasn't been long since I started to transition (only seen the GP once and had one session of IPL), and on 5 occasions on one day shop assistants have referred to me and my sister as "ladies" and me "darling" although I was in total guy mode lol XD

A week or two ago I was in Belfast and had decided to brave the men's loo, since I've gotten a haircut and can't really pass for female anymore (I look very young, though, still.). I couldn't figure out how the sink worked since it had one of them yokes where you put your hand beside a sensor and the water will flow, so i got pretty frustrated. This tall guy turns to me and goes "ay laddie, not working for ye?" and turned it on. It made this laddie happy.

I went to see my doctor for a refill on HRT and he was on holiday, so I saw the walk in doctor.  She looked at the meds I was on (spiro and estradiol) and asked if I had PCOS (something you need ovaries for).  I said "no, I'm trans."  Clearly this just messed with her mind even more, since when she looked at my bloodwork and saw that my testosterone was at a higher than normal level, she told me that I needed to stop taking testosterone supplements for at least 6 months and then get my bloodwork done again (?).  At this point, I figured it was hopeless to try to explain things, told her I would stop the T supplements, got my prescriptions, and got out of there.

<<stop taking testosterone supplements>>
Why can't doctors read the notes!?!

Seems perfectly reasonable. The doctor's recommendation was obviously for an orchi. ;-)

Walked into court passed through metal detectors the thing beeps guard walks up to me and says its  your  bra strap

Was out with a couple of friends last week and I ordered my lunch, wearing pretty neutral clothing and when my order was called the lady serving said "Sorry about the wait ma'am"

I'm reviving an old-ish thread, but I've always liked reading this one. It's fun to celebrate our accomplishments, right?

So this afternoon I was checking out at a clothing shop and chatting with the cashier. I handed her my debit card, and she took one look at the name and then asked for my ID (still with old name and picture of a guy). She said, "I'm sorry, only he can use this card." I chuckled a bit and said, "yeah...that's me."  She still didn't get it and tried to explain that I couldn't use "his" card. I said "that's me...I've been going through some changes." She finally got it and was shocked! She felt really embarrassed and told me I'm "doing a lot better than most trans people who come in the store."  I made sure to say thank you...cause I knew what she meant. It was an awkward compliment...but I'll take it.

Thanks for reviving this thread, it is fun to read.

I had a nice comment today, I've been on hormones for around 6 months, but have struggled trying to look feminine while wearing cycling clothes (which are typically unisex at best). Today I decided to catch the train with my bike, so caught the lift down to the platform. I had a quick chat with a lady on the lift, and when we went to get off she told me "Off you go Blossom."

Definitely put a smile on my face.

I do feel this one was pushing the envelope.  There were two new women at the Asperger group yesterday evening so I had a chat with them.  I invited them to the women's group we have recently started and somehow I seem to 'manage'.  Then I told them we have a member of the main group who is in the process of transition MtF and could be coming to the women's group.  None of the people at the Asperger group seem to have any problem at all with trans-people and as far as I could tell the new ones didn't realise I am also trans.

So it's been a busy weekend for me...

For our 12 year old son's birthday we took him out to dinner to Japanese hibachi.  Much to my wife's horror,  the chef keep referring to all of us women at the table as sexy mom each time he served us something.

This afternoon at the playground my children kept calling me daddy.  A little boy they were playing with looked at them and said where's your daddy all I see is you mommy.

Mega smiles both times!

Yes. Children are very flexible.

As my daughter grows up (age 12), she now knows when she has better avoid calling me daddy. For example, in the shopping mall.

When you go to a store after work in male clothing to get razors because you didn't shave for 3 days and a mother tells her little daughter at the entrance to let the lady take a shopping basket.

I was at Costco this weekend and needed to buy a couple of cases of water.  There were a couple of guys in the water section getting water for themselves and they said "Do you need some water ma'am?"  They proceeded to get two cases of water and put them in the bottom rack of my cart.  Big smile from me!!

A female friend and I went clothes shopping last weekend. It's prom season, and I found myself waiting on a bench in a very crowded dressing room with lots of young ladies trying on gorgeous gowns with their friends and mothers and lots of employees buzzing around. The crowd got me feeling like I had giant spotlight shining on me but no one else seemed to care or notice.

Earlier I had tried some clothes on in that same dressing room but everything they carried was too small for me. When I got there I asked a female attendant if there was a dressing room available and she told me which one to use without missing a beat.

If I can blend in in that environment I think that I can blend in anywhere.
