What do YOU feel as though is the most noticable thing, trait, etc..... that gives you away has a Transgendered individual?
And
What are you doing (or planning) to do to correct it?

For me my walk.....(medical reason) bottom line it hurts when a gurl switches for too long!  :D
And to correct (hide) this problem I just stop walking around so much!  ;D ;)

Hey Peeps,

For me I would also say my voice for the same reasons Tinkerbell has touched on already.  A couple of my friends have said that my voice tends to be a little different if I am with them compared to what it is if I am in public or I am meeting another of their friends for example.  Cant say that I really notice to be honest, though as Tinkerbell says perhaps you just tend to relax more around your friends/family.

I am also a little weary at times of talking on the phone - thank god the call centre job I have means I am no longer on the phones talking to people.  Although must admit, when I called the police at 2am a few days ago the first thing the guy who answered did after finding out why I was calling was to say "Right Miss, can I take your details then" which was kinda fab as I wasnt even making any kinda effort with my voice.  I aint planning to do anything about my voice as when I eventually got an appointment for voice therapy I was told I sounded fine as I was.

Oh, that's easy - Male Pattern Baldness.  grrr.  I suspect that even after years of HRT I'll still get sirred unless I wear a wig.

Oh well!

That's an easy one.  My genitals. :P  As for correcting the problem, I'm working on it. ;D  Seriously though, I have passed in extremely intimate situations.  My girlfriend at the time didn't know I was TS (even though she has TS friends) and after she hinted that she knew, I talked with her later and she told me that it was my genitals that gave me away.

My voice seems to be my main problem right now. I seem to be able to do a pretty good girl voice, but I'm not always able to do it. I seem to be able to do it best when I'm alone practicing. I can't do it as easily when I'm nervous I guess...
