I was often bullied and ill-treated, and I would face significant discrimination if most people who met me found out. It also makes finding work a nightmare, and far more terrifying than it needs to be. If I wanted to get a job right now... it would help to look like a man.

Woah, what did I say about all that 'splaining?

That's right, I don't do those things. I just look pretty

Oh, and I totally missed the 'how do I cope with it' part. Aside from totally forgetting that I have male genes 3/4ths of the time (UNTIL IT'S STARTED DOING THIS. FUCK BALLS. WITH FUCKING JACKHAMMERS. I WANT IT OFFF, FUUUUUUUUUUC- Yeah I'm good now).

Girlfriend forgets it too. It makes for a lovely surprise when she swats where my pussy should be, bonus if she does it from behind.

hope your life will become more easy for you in your future.

Do you get offended if someone calls you a man in an obviously derogatory manner?

Yes, and quite, but I try to not let it show.

Not to sound sappy, but if I get sir'd at this point: my day is blown, and my self-esteem craters.

As a friend, how can I make the transition easier for zir?

Does it oftern happen that people think that you are not transsexual, meaning that they think that you are women?

I thought both of you were women when I registered here.

I'm a lady, milady. Or are you speaking of a different friend?

I find it's wonderful for my femininity to be complimented, to be told that I'm pretty, to have my proper pronouns used at all times. Really, transgendered women are women just like any others... and the little things help.*

... There's a reason I fish for ego-boosting so much, and it's because I'm a scared and insecure little girl who really has little going for her in this wretched life. Unfortunately, I have friends, a girlfriend, and a mom... no easy way out for the non-selfish.

*Please disregard if they are a feminist, you might get elevatorgate'd.

Very often, actually... if I'm in makeup and taking care of myself, and keep my adam's apple swallowed up and my head down, and speak little, and make sure to walk in such a way that I don't even need to bind the devil back, and dress somewhat form-fittingly with a mild sense of fashion:

I am unclockable. But it's a lot of work, and makeup and the like cost money.

Me and tara? Well surprise surprise: we both are women
