What is the weirdest/unexpected thing someone said to you after you told them you were transitioning?

For me, my super liberal friend asked me(an independent fiscal conservative):

Have you changed.... POLITICALLY? (and smiled)

Imediatly after I gave my big coming out speech to one of my very closest friends she said: 'I knew this about you for years and have been wondering if you were ever going to see it.'
Of course my jaw droped. I had up till that point been under the delusion that I had been doing a good job at being the macho guy all my life. Being trans had been my deepest secret.

It came from my youngest daughter. When I told them that I was going to become a woman on the outside to match how I felt on the inside she was setting on my lap with her arms around my neck. I asked them if they had any questions they wanted to ask me. And she said, "just one" I expected it to be something deep and hard to explain but all she asked was "Are you still going to like computers?"


I love my girls so much!

How my friend coped with what i told him:

"In soviet russia, girl lays YOU! waaa haaa haaa, what a country~"

He was poking fun at the fact i was born in Russia and being TS, i have to admit he did it in a creative way.

LOL! Funny guy!

awww thats cute

My friend after telling her about possible bottom surgeries. "Will it work?!"

She didn't mean the surgery itself.

A female friend of mine: "It's such a coincidence that you want to become more boyish, because I want to be more girlish!"  (I was like, "Uh, what? I don't think that's the same...")

My mom: "Is this because you don't respect me as a woman?" ( )

Just one word from my cousin COOL.

"SHOPPING BUDDY!!!" Best friend's brother's girlfriend

From my doctor: "Were you by any chance abused as a child?" 

I struggled to bring myself to tell one of my female friends while we were sitting in her car one night. I eventually came out with: "I wanna get a sex change", and word for word her response: "Oh. Can I do your hair?".

hehe now that is awesome!

Me: I'll run to the other side of the earth, where no one knows me, and have a sex change.
Friend: Cool! So give me your phone number when you arrive there!

older borther:  You must be ******* crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if he's still alive?   LOL

from my sister: "At least you're not gay."

me: 'i have gender identity disorder'
PA at work: 'so your a lesbian?'

...took a while.

It was frustrating that I struggled SO HARD through my teens to figure myself out (1960's), left home at 24 for SRS/transition and heard the following comments (from my sister) when people found out what happened:

- Well it's ABOUT TIME!

- She finally figured it out?

- That makes sense!

- Now I understand.

- Well da-ha!

- I KNEW it!

Apparently everyone else could see it and I was the last one to figure it out 

Almost forgot this one:

From my guy friend: "This is great, now we have a spy on the side, soon we will know their secrets" <evil grin>

Another guy Friend:  "Yeah, it all makes sense now, that time you, and that other time, yeah, you would be!"

Yet another Friend: "This is a just another ploy to get into womens locker rooms isnt it?"

My guy friend after my transition 1 year: "Ok now you are qualified to tell me why the hell is there a couch in the women's bathroom, wtf do you need to do in there that requires a couch?!?!?!"  he went on to rave about how there should be beer a widescreen satellite TV, and recliners in the guys bathroom.

My sister: "My letter to santa came late, i asked for a little sister 32 years ago, but all i got was you."  She is really happy she now has a little sister. 

My brother: A large part of this is for the sex experiance isn't it?
