[QUOTE=Super_Nova;35476993][IMG]http://i42.tinypic.com/wa22rp.jpg[/IMG] Thinking of getting my hair cut this way. Y/N?[/QUOTE] What length is your hair at now? If your hair is already around that length, then go for it it. If it's a lot longer like mine then I'd think about it for a bit.
[QUOTE=WittyUsername;35477198]I seriously regret clicking this thread and seeing some of the horrifying pictures in here.[/QUOTE] I don't understand why people like this even post. They know it's just going to stir up shit. Anyway, it feels awesome when a stranger calls me ma'am without a second thought. It's been happening more and more as I've been working on my voice, and I even get a few guys flirting with me because they think I have an English accent.

And in my mind I'm screaming "YOU GOT IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, DAMMIT."
can i still lurk?

[QUOTE=Zeldy;35477974]Lucky~ Only people who refer to me as a female go "Oh, I'm sorry, sir." And in my mind I'm screaming "YOU GOT IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, DAMMIT."[/QUOTE] Tell them they got it right the first time. Really, confidence in your feminity is what's most going to affect people's view of you.
-snip- late post dammit
[QUOTE=l l;35477183]wtf I never got those[/QUOTE] God! Fine, here you go! You get lacy ones because of how late it is. [editline]8th April 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Riodoku;35478189]Tell them they got it right the first time. Really, confidence in your feminity is what's most going to affect people's view of you.[/QUOTE] Nah, I'm talking about random people I'll never meet again. I would right now, but I haven't had anyone refer to me as a female as a "mistake" in the past few weeks. I did go out with a trans friend the other day, and every time he referred to me as a "she" to the people he knew, I felt better and better about myself. ;-;
[QUOTE=Triumph Forks;35477058]Write her a letter if you can't do it face to face. Call me old fashioned, but a handwritten letter can make go a long way, and comes across as a lot more personal than an email or a text could. Or you could do what I did and leave somewhat obvious hints and when she asks you about it, play it off as a completely normal and ordinary thing.[/QUOTE] I typed a note (beause my hand writing sucks) about 3 years ago when I came out to her as gay. I left it by her bed side at night, went to my room and locked the door. It just seems a little immature to do it like that. [editline]8th April 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Zeldy;35476831]You'll work up the courage soon. Just try your hardest. <3 It's easier to tell someone without being face to face, to be honest. Makes them the one who confronts you. It's how I told my sister. I told her on MSN when she was right downstairs. So yeah, why not text her?[/QUOTE] Well, it feels immature to do so. And I'd be eventually having to sit face to face with her anyway. The only reason why I came here for Spring Break is because she has appointments set up for me (orthodontist & doctor for blood test (I have a blood condition)) and I'm basically going to be here the entire week. I'm really just considering not telling her, going back to my apartment, and wait until the weekend to tell her via a text. That way she can call me over the phone to talk and I won't have to be face to face. If she wants to be, she can take a 3 hour drive up to my apartment.
Maybe not handwritten (I have the same issue) but I'd think a note is a good way to go about it, I'd place it as Plan B if talking face to face isn't so viable an option. But I'm no Prima Strategy Guide, whatever way works best for your ease of mind should be key

And having them apologize for calling you male is often very satisfying.
[QUOTE=HorizoN;35478093]can i still lurk?[/QUOTE] alright, so i can still lurk :smile:
[QUOTE=Herb;35473699]It's simply amazing how casual transphobia is. Unlike with racist comments, where people do that little look around to make sure there's no racial minorities within earshot, people just blab it out without even giving it a second thought. I'm at my favorite coffee shop, I go there every single day. The barista working the counter is pretty friendly with me, we usually have little conversations, sometimes we see each other around town and she'll go out of her way just to say hi. She's talking with a friend about a party, when he says "Bring some friends, and make sure they're REAL girls, I don't want no lady cocks." She laughs and says "Trannies are so gross, eughh." Meanwhile I'm standing right fucking there, at the counter directly in front of her, shocked like "Did you really just say that?". I pay for my drink and storm the fuck out of there. Guess I need to find a new coffee shop.[/QUOTE] Sound just like an average school day for me... Homophobic and transphobic comments are very very casual here.

[QUOTE=Riodoku;35478483]Yeah, those random people can really influence your feelings of confidence. And having them apologize for calling you male is often very satisfying.[/QUOTE] I know what you mean. But they all "correct" them selves. :/ I know i don't wear feminine clothing (yet) or anything, but still. Most, if not all, people still see me as male. And I'm too self conscious too correct them.

Its one way of communication, so why not utilize it if you can't bring yourself to actually tell her face to face?

Oh god I love you girls so much. <3 Stay strong. (this message may or may not have been brought to you by effects of alcohol.)

Trans is completely unheard of here so you'd never hear a negative comment towards it.
Alright so my therapist thinks I'm not depressed enough to be transgender. It's not like hiding it for 8-9 years has made me pretty much stone cold to all emotions or anything. Also apparently I have to be super girly to be trans?

you [b]need[/b] one here. doesnt look very promising for me.

oh my god. tomorrow is the big day and i'm feeling way sicker than i usually do. ugh...
The point is that I would get hormones and apparently that's the only thing stopping me I have an appointment on wednesday I need to figure something out
It's not like someone would lie to get hormones... The therapists should be on your side anyway, they can't decide for you what you feel like.
lots of people have to lie over in norway because of the way stuff works over there.
[QUOTE=Tattimatonen;35482076]Also apparently I have to be super girly to be trans?[/QUOTE] That's bullshit. There are many different girls - super-girly girls, normal girls, butch girls, whatever girls. If butch cis-gender girls exist, so do butch trans-girls. Your therapist is very uneducated and is an idiot.
