What's the weirdest or funniest thing someone has ever said to you that would never have happened in your old gender?

For me it'd probably have to be the conversation I had with the lab tech who had just finished drawing my blood... I have really low blood pressure and made the mistake of not drinking enough fluids before going to the lab. Needle went in, blood came out, I stood up... and crash! On the floor passed out.

The phlebotomist told me that there is a condition out there that will cause your blood pressure to drop pretty severely with anxiety and not to worry about about it. In a very low voice she then said, "It happens all the time to me when I have my pap smear."

Definitely not a conversation I'd be having years ago in my old gender. It's just kind of stuck out in my mind of one of those things that is a little bit weird, but is a bit funny as well.

Share yours!

Same kind of thing happened to me.  I was getting my level checked for the first time by my new doctor.  She looked at what the doctor wanted and we began to talk about hot flashes.  We were both of the opinion that they basically sux.

Aged around 24 when I had just recently transitioned I was working for a firm with a strict dress code. Men wore trousers, women wore skirts.

I was sent home for wearing trousers to go and put on something more appropriate, by which they meant a skirt! 

Under the peculiar circumstances at the time that did amuse me!

A year after I started HRT, I went to a mass gathering for the Census employment test and application. The application asked us to indicate days and times that we were available to work. I put down just about all days/times, but the women next to me was fretting over hers because she refused to work evenings and was worried that she would be passed over because of her lack of availability.

I politely asked whether she could put down at least a couple of evenings a week, and she became very agitated and said that, as a woman, she didn't feel safe wandering alone after dark, even in her own neighborhood.

"Oh," I said, "I didn't think of that."

"Of course not!" she said resentfully. "How could you? You're a man!"

There is a vacuum-cleaner repair store near me, a family owned business.  Over the years, I have taken several dying old vacs there.  As a man, the routine was always the same.  The female owner greeted me, then got a technician from the back room to start taking the thing apart, figure out what was wrong, and give me an estimate.

The last time I went in, the owner herself plugged in the machine, and turned it on, then quickly off.  She said, in her Brooklyn accent: "Oy!  It's da motah.  No fixing this thing.  Let me show you this nice Orek.  I'll give you a discount."

She was right, the motor bearings were shot, but still....

I sat down to eat lunch with the girls from accounting like i usually do.  I looked at my salad, sighed and said, I am really craving something fatty like Chinese food today.

To which one of the girls replied "Oh, is it that time of the month for you?"

Took me by surprise, but and i almost started laughing, but answered "No, i dont think that's it."

These are really good.

All the better because I know that the afirmation is as pleasing to each of you as the chuckle.

I just want to say, I'm really happy for each of you. Please keep them comming.

When I was in college, I was in an open relationship, I loved men and their equipment, and I had a reputation of being sexually enthusiastic. A friend of mine went to Greece and brought back a present for me: a little statue of Pan with an enormous schlong. He said he saw it and was instantly reminded of me. Obviously, he was thinking about my obsession with that particular organ.

Fast forward nearly thirty years and post-transition. I'm standing around talking to one of my favorite guys in the gay men's group I go to. Nobody in the group knows that I'm trans. I think we were talking about gay art and artifacts. I mentioned the statue to this guy and also told him what my old friend had said.

He responded, "So, are we, uh, bragging a little?"

OK I'll bite.

A lady I work with was saying how she thought one place we work at is sexist. She just knows they hate women there. Me being me and not thinking about her not ever meeting meas female and having worked in that place as female and transitioning said that I had never had a problem with them. Her come back was, "That is cause you're a guy."   Needless to say I decided to shut up.
