My ex partner always though I would never pass - Peope I told early on said much the same - by sister always makes a negative comment about my appearance - even though she accepts me she feels it is her mission to point out every time I do something that is masculine - Frineds and family ahve a real problem because they have so much history
I know I pass - and it is all about attitude and style - You have to look good - look like other women if you want to pass - If you look fantastic and sexy you are going to get looked at - because every fantastic sexy women gets looked at - and then there is a chance they will see something that does not computer - you9r ha ds, your height etc
Now I do dress with style 0- I dress to get attention so people look - I usually can tell whether they read me or fancy me and it is getting more and more the latter - Hormones do have an amazinn effect -
My daughter is living with a friend who has a young brother who had never seen me till yesterday but knew I was transgender - I drove up to pick up my daughter - and he realised I was there for her - so went in and told my daughter - "Hey she is waiting for you outside - My daughter said "She" - "Yeh" he said "Your mum - you better hurry" She laughed and said nothing.
That night he said - "Cor - my mate really fancies your mum - she is smart" "It wasn't my mum" says my daughter - "It was my dad" - "No" he said - "it was a woman" - "It was my dad" she repeated - Eventually he got it but even now he cannot seem to use male pronouns to talk about me - his mate who fancied me is a real lad and self confessed ladies man so he is in for some serious stick at school.
What amazed me is it was 8 in the morning when he saw me - and I had done a really quick makeover - but clearly I don't have too much problem passing now.
