Do you ever have moments when you find yourself having a nasty flashback to your birth gender?  Strangely enough, I've found that whenever I feel really uncomfortable in a situation, or feel as if I've said or done something really stupid, I experience a "phantom ponytail".  It's like I'm suddenly 12 years old again with that horrible weigh hanging from my head as a constant reminder that everyone sees me as this alien creature whose body I'm inhabiting.  Anyone else have similar experiences?

lol im with Kiera too, long hair all my life

but yes i can understand how you could flashback and it make your uncomfortable. Its been the opposite for me though, i have had such a lucid dream about being female with a very hard to explain feeling of contentment only to wake up and back to reality. Its really upsetting to be honest.

An actual waking flashback, no i dont think i could take that.

Funny you should post that. I just woke up from a dream where I was topless and had breasts. Then, in the dream I realized that I'd had chest surgery and they went away.

Dennis that is seriously wierd...

Jamie-O Im sure I do I just cant think of any at the moment..

I'm still at the stage in which I have "true gender" flash-forwards. Right now, I'm still in the female body. I have short flashes of what it will be like when I'm not.

Of course, when I was a kid, I was already a boy a lot of the time. I wish I could recapture that now. Sigh.

Everyday after everyone leaves for school/work I get to flash forward towards my preferred gender, if not for only a few hours before I have to be at work, does that count?

Not so much in real life, but yes, in dreams.  I'll dream sometimes still that I'm the old gender, which is very bizarre.

I kinda have. I have flashbacks on how I used to be back when I was "alright" being female and now I look back and think "...Was that me?" and now I'm just happy being male. In my dreams though, I still dream of being in the female body that I already have which is kinda weird. Only once did I dream I was in a male body and it was a sex dream :/
