If you identify as male, you don't have to refer to yourself as a girl, unless you like to. FAAB might be a term you'd like. You are one of the guys 

you're right. thanks Mikah! i'm still pretty new to all this. i've only been consciously questioning myself for a few months and don't post a great deal. and i just realized i don't often take the time to really refer to myself as male, but i definitely don't consider myself a girl. i usually use bio-female, but i apparently slipped lol. i like FAAB though, that way i don't have actually use the word female. anyways.. yea. good times.

I was on the bus the other day and I put my paper money in the box and I told the driver I'd get my quarter in a second because I could not find it. I sat down and dug the sucker out of my wallet. When the bus stopped to let someone off I walked up and kinda tossed the quarter into the coinbox from a good 4 feet away and some old guy says " Look at that guy go, he is like a ninja".

I felt epic.

^^ Best. Passing. Story. EVER.

LOL, agreed. That's epic as hell.

Agreed! How the hell did you manage to toss the coin into a slot that small? 

My 70 year old grandma called me grandson  that was pretty awesome. But the rest of my family usually still refers to me as female. To be fair I don't really bug them to call me otherwise so I find it's nicer when they do it on their own.

I have to say though, being called dude, bro,  bud, buddy, guy, son, sir, etc. is great but I find boss is annoying. The first time I ever heard it, and it was said to me, I was working at Walmart so I thought the guy was just being a huge dick.

I'm happy with Andy, he, him, sir, etc. My girlfriend calls me "sailor" sometimes in a flirty way which totally hits the spot. 

When I was in Mexico, I was sitting at a table at a party with a bunch of ladies, and they were cutting up some sort of dessert, they passed the first slice all the way around the table till it got to me, saying, "para el caballero," i.e, "for the gentleman." I liked that, so yeah, when in Mexico, hearing "caballero" is nice.

i Looooove being called my partners boyfreind, it gives me chills and makes me feel all different kinds of good.

'Dude' was one I got a lot even before transition.  That happens when you and all your friends are stoners.  I like it, but it feels pretty gender neutral to me, lots of girls I know call each other dude too.
Just hearing the right pronouns makes me happy... man, homie, bro, and such all feel nice, but for some reason make me a bit nervous too.  Something about feeling inferior to other guys that I'm not really able to articulate right now.  One that I quite like is 'boy.'  My friends call me that sometimes, mainly because I'm younger than all of them I guess, and it feels good.  Validates who I am but still sounds cute.

I get so happy when my girlfriend calls me her boyfriend. I love hearing it.

I also like getting the "Are you guys brothers?" thing when I went out with my bro. It meant a lot that I passed while being around my brother.

My little 15 year old brother is 6'1 with a bit of facial scruff, and I'm 5'7 and pre-T baby faced. When I pass around him, people assume I'm like 16 and he's 20...lol.
