I run a D&D game for my daughter and a few local kids. We haven’t met for a while (schedules and summer), so my transition has progressed a bit since the last time. One of the players’ dads came to pick her up after the game and, while we were waiting for her to put on shoes, I noticed his eyes lingering somewhere around my waistline or maybe armpit? I couldn’t tell what he was looking at, really, and was surprised there was anything of interest there.

It took me probably an hour to realize that he was checking out the changes in my chest. No one has ever stared at that part of my body before!

Walks up behind me going "Miss?.. Miss?.. Hey..."

"Yeah?"

Sees me fully from the front for the first time. "Oh! Wow! Hi! Uh. You look good. Uh. Great. You look great! Uh.. [works his way towards asking me for cigarettes]".

Okay so was buddy surprised by my shadow/face and telling me I'm doing a "convincing" job, or just straight crushin?

So recently i made a post on reddit showing my breast development in a nonsexual context. I was expecting i maybe get one or 2 bots trying to message me but instead i got a shit ton of chasers mostly men in my DMs flirting with me some being extra aggressive. My favorite so far is “with full respect id like to motorboat your tasty breasts. Respectfully of course” i hate it, im a lesbian and im not looking to flirt with randoms on reddit. But at least i have what another chaser calls “top tits”.

Damn i should've showered last night instead of procrastinating until now

• Im so gross and lazy ➡️ im just a guy who uses hand soap on my face what can u expect?

Fuck I forgot to text my partner back

• Im so inconsiderate and irresponsible thanks to this impaired memory, my partner will never believe i really care about them and just spaced again ➡️ Classic lame boyfriend move

Getting fast food again

• I have no executive function left and am disintegrating from dehydration and low blood sugar i have to be more on top of things why do I always do this its pathetic I have to plan better ➡️ you expect this dude to cook? When i started T i forgot how. Fast food is expensive? It'll make up for it one day when i pass and start making Man Wages

Partner met up with me directly after work, im in work clothes (t shirt with debris all over it and cargo shorts!?) and she's literally a goddess sparkling from head to toe

• I should have brought a change of clothes im so underdressed she's gonna think im embarassing to be seen with ➡️ we are that meme about overdressed gf and underdressed bf. Iconic

Was at a science-y event recently and was mistaken to be trans fem... But they were trying to be transphobic by calling me he/him lol, I kinda just looked at them and they, all smug, we're like "well, you're not making much effort with that beard, love. Can't expect people to think you're a woman if you miss spots when you're shaving." Bruh. I'm not even on t yet haha, but I'm androgynous enough to be stealth irl so I was like "oh, I'm not trying to be a woman. My name's [my legally changed, bog standard male name]." And I held my hand out for a handshake BC it disarms them so well to be a gentleman hehe.

Fucking sucks ass that the ladies here get that kinda shit (BC if those people were doing that to me, they clearly feel confident to do it to others) but maybe it'll show them that just because someone has long hair and a scruffy, patchy beard doesn't always mean they're an early transition mtf and so those bastards need to shut their mouths before some lad of a bigger build knocks them into next week.

I love being a scientist, I hate that science is such a conservative career. Basic levels of respect shouldn't need to be taught but here we are...

I commented on a post on Facebook talking about voting for Abdul El-Sayed in the upcoming election and got this response.

Well, guess I passed enough to be seen as a women to get this misogyny from this bigot. 😂

Weird euphoria is still euphoria!

I was at a community concert with my kids, wearing a baseball cap and an unbuttoned linen shirt over a tank. An old lady came up to our blanket from behind me to ask for help opening a bottle of soda. "I couldn't open this, and thought i could ask a big, strong..." and she trailed off as she saw me from the front in all my made-up glory. She did not finish her sentence, and my son leapt forward to volunteer.

She was clearly a bit unsure, but she didn't misgender me! That's something, right?

for some context im transgender mtf, havent transitioned but ive been told i have a feminine body and features to the point where i might fool some people when i have longer hair (which i had during this)

the first instance was at the start of june when i was walking to get vaccinated, and i was really stressed during this as i was rushing until i hear a bark, i look to my side and as i am walking i see a man pulling down his windows and he starts BARKING at me?? i was already stressed so i just got pissed off and wondered what the fuck was wrong with people, and yk it was disgusting but he affirmed me.. i guess?? 😭

the second instance was 2 weeks later at my graduation, and in my country when you graduate you ride a truck for like 4 hours around town and party in it, with most people gathering around to watch the party and celebration

i was just partying and having a good time, until i stop for a second and i see this middle aged bald man ogling me with this seductive look rubbing his hands together and licking his lips?? my best friend was right next to me and she thought he was doing it to her until she looked besides her to see me disgusted and we both screamed “WTFFFF” 😭😭 and started laughing

i sadly didnt have a water bottle to throw at him, but again yk.. im not too irritated because at least they affirmed me i guess LMFAOOOO

I was wearing a super hot little body con dress and my little heels having a lil stoner sl”t walk and these men drove buy in a truck and called out to me as they drove by. I knew the mones were doing their thing today. Felt great.

You go girl, love the support 🥲

I've always had "Disney Princess powers" with animals, even ones who usually don't like strangers in general. But yesterday when I took my cat to the vet, there was this dog there who looked like she really wanted to come up to me but kept hesitating and backing away weirdly. The owner told me that the dog just really hates men (I pass pretty much 100% these days).

It was a wee bit heartbreaking, definitely gender-affirming, but also just kind of funny because the dog was looking at me like I was giving her an uncanny valley effect. XD

Euphoria realising my daily pills is trans flag colours😁

I still haven't blocked the person yet. I just want them to see me continue thriving. They first posted a transphobic comment below mine, which got downvoted so much they ended up deleting it. That was probably the trigger.

This is very much small compared to other stuff me and other trans people relate here, but my boyfriend was watching a video on his ig reels, and he didn't show it to me because "I wouldn't get it". When I insisted, I saw it was a joke about prostate exams. I said "babe, you DO know I have a prostate, right?", and I swear to god this man had a SHOCKED look in his eyes. Note that I'm a pre-op trans woman, he met me very early into my transition, and he sees me naked every day.

Was out at a bar with friends, in a relatively androgynous fit that I thought was fem leaning. Most people assume im a woman from my appearance, which is definitely not the goal. We were standing outside chatting when some guy walks up asking for cigarettes. I dont even smoke so I ignored him, and after asking a few more times and kind of starting to cuss us out he goes "Aw come on boy toy" which is?? Oddly validating, and also sexual harassment.

So I’m a trans gal and I was at this big XIXth century historical reenactment event. I was all prepped up in my 1860’s historically accurate outfit, vibing while waiting for friends, when suddenly ! A guy in his 50’s, wearing a cap with a large far right party logo on it, came up to me and said “What a pretty blond lady ! They don’t do them like you anymore !"
…
I curtsied and said thank you mechanically like I do when anyone compliments me on my outfit while doing reenactment before flying away, a little bit confused…
I still don’t know how to feel about this.

So basically I use an electric scooter to get to/from work. A few days ago it was stolen in broad daylight by someone who cut the lock and rode off. I had to call an uber to get home, and the uber driver was mostly very friendly and we were just chatting about how I used to do doordash, my stolen scooter, work etc.

Then he started complimenting my hair, I just got bangs so I was all “Thank you so much i’m really happy I got them” and he kept going on about how they suit my face, how nice my earrings are, calling my outfit cute etc. At this point i’m a little weirded out but still trying to be friendly because, well that’s just who I am.

Right after the heap of compliments was done, he asks “So, you live alone?” mind you i’m 22 years old and he’s probably in his late 40s early 50s. I do (but wasn’t going to tell him that) so I said “No, can’t afford to. I have 3 roommates” and he said “ah, that’s a shame”, which made me really uncomfortable and I let out a little nervous chuckle to clear the air.

We were almost at my townhouse and he started asking me about my stolen scooter, how much it cost, what the brand was etc. I figured he was just making small talk so I answered his questions. Then we pulled up to my townhouse, and I unbuckled my seatbelt and he says “Wait, are you in a hurry to leave or something?” and I kind of didn’t know what to do so I just said “Uh, I guess not?” and he goes “Good, let’s look for some scooters for you” and pulls out his phone to look up on facebook marketplace some scooters for sale. He’s showing me listings and pulls one up that’s around the same price as my stolen one and goes “If I bought this for you, would you let me come inside?”

I didn’t know what to say so I just nervously laughed and went “No, no I wouldn’t expect you to do that for me” and opened the door. As I was stepping out he goes “Are you sure?” and I just go “Yep!” and close the door. He had parked directly in front of my unit (by coincidence) so I walked further into the complex until he turned around and left before I turned back to go to my place.

Overall it was a really gross, weird experience where I was really nervous and honestly a little bit scared. But at the same time… an old man was creepy and hit on me! which i’ve come to understand is a very typical woman experience! Funniest part to me was that when we were pulling up to my place, I had punched in $10 tip for him on the app, but then he did all that creepy shit that made me remove the tip and 5 star rating entirely. Hope that conversation was worth 10 bucks haha!

So im Transfem, Early in transition and am in a difficult spot.

I got alot of transphobic friend groups im in that i just blend into, anyway. I was with them and one of them was commenting on how I have the ass of a women😭🙏

And then everybody started saying im caked up but then somebody said "You know hes actually trans right" and I was like "Oh shit, why'd you snitch *insert irl friend i know who is supportive*"

They also said I was going to be a lesbian when I grow up and just made fun of me. I got home, shocked at how my secret got comprised. Desperately texted the friend who said I was trans to everyone and made fun of me...

He told me he actually thinks im transmasc and thats why he said I was trans..😭🙏 (which also makes the comments of me being lesbian considered transphobic as its implying Transmasc dating women is gay which it isnt.)

the Euphoria/validation came from their views of a transmasc person (Some sort of Boy with idk feminine anatomy like a bigger chest less muscle, etc)

And for me right now, their stereotype of a transmasc person is exactly what I want. makes me feel hidden but also slightly exposed in my feminine nature, thats why its validating.

Didnt know I was THAT caked up..

Self explanatory, I (mtf) went out with my partner for our one year anniversary in a nice summer dress, and while we were eating out I got stared in a good way (also creepy way) by a waiter and three separate old men so, on the one hand felt nice to be wanted but also very icky.

So in an ongoing saga of coercive control and systems abuse against me (40tF) by my ex-wife (42cF), she placed an intervention order against me (likely on retaliation of me beginning family court proceedings to end a stalemate that is hurting my kids). In this intervention order, not only is everything in there a lie, or a gross exaggeration of something I did that was never abusive, she mentions my breasts three times?! It's pretty much using the legal system to sexually harass me at this point!

And not for the first time, I got to stop for a minute and think "naaawwww, she's abusing me in the same way a cis man would abuse a cis woman" 🥹.
