women tend to ask me to get things from high shelves and such, which is always good. also when i was talking in a trans and alies group about how my brother adopted the doll i got as a big sister present i got when our other brother was born. one of the employes who was running the group got a confused look on her face and afterwards she told me that she didnt realize i was trans and thought i was a cis guy. which was really funny that i pass so well that even when im talking about being a girl in the past people dont realize im trans even in a trans group.

Your avatar looks pretty leaderly, Malachite.

I help my daughter climb into the top bunk every day (idk why there's no ladder), and tonight she said "Wow you're strong!" That made me feel like the hulk.

Add this one to the list.  ^

A bunch of random things, but probably my favorite is when my brother complains that I get more girls than he does.  A close second is my dad calling me "Hobbit Feet."

I had to recently throw a pair of jeans away because there was nothing left to them. They were probably the most beat up pair of pants I have ever laid eyes on. When I finally agreed that they needed to move on to the pants afterlife I had a hard time actually taking the step to the trash pile, my husband looked at me and said "Just throw them away! I swear, you are such a guy."

  "Open this jar please"

Pre-T my ex often asked me to open things after his failed attempts and sore red hands He was too manly to use tools/shirt..

"Your hair is low*. You... to grow it, up*.
Told me my mother's aunt after she didn't let me and my sister in when used intercom, and we had to call her on phone.
(She's living by own, recovering from a stroke. My family visits her day by day, me on weekends only when I'm back at hometown. *-s are because of her aphasia - she has a unique, poor use of language now - so if she sees someone strange or unknown, doesn't press the "talk" or "green" button. She believed that I'm a random 14-years-old boy. )

Proud and masculine, yeeeah.

Today was my second day working at walmart, first day in the meat dept. The guy in charge/dept. manager was telling me about the white coat things we had to wear...anywhos he said "Your gonna need a 2x or 3x, your a big guy...you have broad shoulders"....

I always thought I had small shoulders for a guy but to be told by some old guy, not to old, that I had broad shoulders was super nice. It felt super nice. Made my day actually, and the meat dept. is sooo much easier then the frozen dept.

I have the general body shape of a 12 year old boy at the moment (pre-T) XD, so whenever someone comments about my broad shoulders, my straight lines, or my lack of hips I get a pretty big smile.

I posted this elsewhere, but it belongs here too.
My mother walked in while I was procrastinating from going to the gym, and she told me "GO GET BUFF!"  My family seems as happy about my muscles as I am. 

This wasn't so much a comment, just a fun Big Ol' Pass! Last night at the Irish pub (on St. Patrick's--go figure) pressed up against the crowded bar, I got my Guinness and the bartender said, "That'll be $4.50, sir."

It's always a super epic awesome pass to me when I am around young 20-30-something men and a male bartender. I feel like that's my favorite time to pass. I was so happy all night after that.

"That'll be $4.50, sir." 

This isn't about any one physical aspect but an overall acknowledgment as male in a setting where I've always wanted to be accepted.

I was at a social at a temple& one of the guys introduced me as a "friendly jewish man looking for a temple in the area." It made me feel manly& accepted, even though they didn't know I'm trans..so I guess I wasn't technically accepted for it - oh well, it made me happy nonetheless.

I got two last night:

"You look more manly everytime I see you"

"If I didn't know you I'd think you were a young man" (meaning if she didn't know I was Trans she would have thought I was a cisgendered male)

today at the store some guy needed to get around me and was just like "excuse me bro" haha when we left i was like DAD DID YOU HEAR THAT GUY?! i havent been passing much lately so i was so excited hahahah

Today at work a collegue heard me speak stared at my neck and then said

'your voice! Is...are they working already?!'
'yeah'
'haven't you only had two shots?!'
'three'
'oh my god...say something else!'
'Uhhh'
'oh my god'

My daughter asked me the other day if Johnny Cash was as tough as I am.

Just a comment on my profile picture (same as here), from some women's dating site*...

"No way you're a woman!?!? Disgusting pervert!!!"

Offensive but made my day. 
* Did not delete my account because... if bisexual and whatever girls don't come to trans dating site, I gotta find 'em.  (So just wrote that I'm there because of my body stuff.  )

Wait did she mean disgusting because your trans or disgusting because she doesn't believe you can have been female? I'm thinking the last one you know because 'woman' just does not go with you AT ALL.

Male coworker - 'wanna go and get a pint with me Tom'

Somebody asked if I was okay carrying something today, and my kid jumped in with "oh yeah my dad can usually lift anything. He's strong."
