Hi Lisa,
I enjoyed that post, it's always interesting to see how GG's think. I have generally found them to be accepting and encouraging and if they have issues with me, as I'm sure some do, then unlike men, they have not chosen to act on them and have respected my choices. Is that because we are coming over to 'their side'? No, I don't think so. I just think women are more open minded and flexible in their approach to life.
I look forward to reading some more of your posts in the hopefully not too distant future. The military theme will strike a chord with many women here as many transgendered women, myself included, joined up as a way to 'man up' or try to deny ourselves, often in the mistaken belief that we could get over it. Still, that was my generation and these days the situation is far different. Thank goodness!
I hope you do stay Lisa, I enjoy hearing about other people's experiences and thoughts on life, it's a great way to get to know that person too.
The forums are not as busy as they used to be as many seem to prefer the facebook style home page to make their comments but I can guarantee several of the girls here will definately jump in and comment on your posts.
Hmmm, interesting that you 'think' that you sat next to a transgendered woman. She must have gotten everything right for you not to know. For a lot of us it's the voice that is the major issue, as not matter how you look, your voice can give you away and it takes some of us a lot of work to get right. If, like me, your male voice was really deep then it's a battle you will never completely win. Still, it is possible to get a passable voice even with a deep one like mine used to be. Besides, 'husky' can really work for you! lol
I look forward to reading more of your experiences here soon.
Yes, there is a difference in forehead shape between male and female and some take to surgery to hav this addressed. Personally, I just have a fringe/bangs, which works just as well and costs a lot less!
