Chances are you are transgender female

I'm starting off this thread mentioning, if there is a transgender male or a non-binary member that wishes to sponsor a thread for them, please, do so

Anyway.

1. you are subjected to classic female slurs, and you respond with a smile because they used the correct gendered slur.

2. you actually LIKE it when sexist stereotypes and cliches are aimed at you when it's the correct gender stereotypes and cliches.

3. you willingly indulge the annoying articles of clothing of your gender ie wearing a bra.

There is truth in that. I remember some guys who tried to bully me in my last year at school using girly slurs. It didn't work. I quite enjoyed being called 'cutie'.

A friend once referred to me, in writing, as the 'The nearest thing to a woman and still pee standing up.' I loved that. Being called a 'moody bitch' or 'One of the girls'.


On the other hand. I remember the first time I was referred to as a man. I was in a queue when I heard a child behind me say something about 'that man'. I turned and realised she was referring to me. I actually shivered at the thought. I never saw myself as a man but clearly other people did. A bad moment.

I also hate it when people use male sexist stereotypes against me.


As for bras, well I avoid them but I do love wearing high heels even if they kill me! Particularly strappy sandals which dig into my feet. Oucheeeeeeeeee but it's worth it.

Hi Lesley and Marie!

I can relate to that Marie, maybe you are too young, but in the mid seventies a fad had girls dyeing the fringe blonde and so did I. And I got a couple of comments, not that I cared much, but one comment from the teacher always telling me to get it cut was 'your hair is like that of a common schoolgirl', I guess he thought he'd get me to cut it by embarrassing me, but of course it didn't.

Bras I wear often, but not all the time, I always sleep with a bra on though.

The boys at the old board came and went for months, they never kept up with stuff, so they probably are not even aware we are here yet, I guess. I think they will come eventually though.

I used to smile when the PE coaches would tell us we played like 'girls'.

None of this really applies to me. As a teenager I used to get bullied and called girl names in front of everyone. It made me feel attacked and uncomfortable.

I suffered from a split-mind psychosis. Because when I was all alone I'd fantasize about being a girl. But in public, when defending my masculinity, I'd completely forget that the other day I was fantasizing about being a girl. It's like living a lie so well you forget you are even lying. It would be like committing a crime, and rehearsing the lie so many times I actually believe the lie I'm telling.

This split-mind psychosis happened often. For instance this guy would sexually harass me and molest me all the time, and I'd tell him to leave me alone. But when I was home alone I'd fantasize to having sex with him and masturbate to him.

I think most humans have a split-mind psychosis. They say they care about animals yet eat meat.

"It's like living a lie so well you forget you are even lying."

It's about as close as I can get to explaining why I existed for 50 years oblivious to my (this me) even existing.

I finally showed up and declared, hey, wtf? that's my body damn it and I want it back. And so I killed off the other person. Yep, hormone therapy worked wonders at getting rid of him.

... if you are more annoyed by a toilet seat that has been left up than a ciswoman is.

I was once at work at a supermarket, an old branch of nettos. Presenting as male. A woman came up to me as said this....

"Oh, is that dandelion and burdock (a British fizzy drink), I haven't had that in years. I 'll have to get him one. You know how men are..."

It made me smile.....

I love Dandelion and Burdock....
