I've reached the point where heterosexual (guy) strangers refer to me as a girl, even when they're close to me and can see all of my features and whatnot. 8,5 months on meds, pic related

I'm also doing well tinder-wise
>>
> 1+ year in.
> Be total boymode. Facial hair is finally mostly gone, but it's been taking forever since before HRT I had a full beard to begin with. Only feminine thing on me is a white women's winter jacket. Live in Toronto so I'd probably just read as a feminine guy or metrosexual or something like that. Haven't done my eyebrows yet, which are markedly masculine, nor replaced my eyeglasses with a more feminine frame.
> Go out with my mom to window shop and grab lunch.
> 'Misgendered' by the server and the girl who showed us to our table. Referred to both of us collectively as 'ladies'. Reverted to neutral/no pronouns once I started speaking.
> Literally everyone referred to us as such throughout the remainder of the day. LCBO clerks, etc. etc.

Huge confidence boost.

Feels shitty. I took it as advice I definitely don't pass and will not be going out female until I get my shit sorted.

The trip was pretty fun. Got hit on by some older Chinese businessmen, they bought us way too many drinks and tried to get us to come back to their home city. Should've gotten sugardaddied through SRS :|

Then the next day our driver decides to call me sir and it's back to sadness

I've not flown on a plane since changing my gender marker on my passport

Why do trannies care so much about "passing"? Literally no one else gives a shit but you.
>>
>>5912485
I've flown on many flights, just not commercial ones. I dread going through TSA security. Customs is bad enough, but at least my ID and passport now agree, and show my current face. If anything you may wish to get the ID photos updated to your current face. That makes things much easier because there is less discrepancies. Before I updated them I had a large thick heavy beard that covered my lower face, neck, chest, etc.. That was hard to fit to my feminine face. Especially when I'd changed glasses too.

Another thing that may help me is the scanners won't show anything unusual in my crotch because I tuck so well. A girl with meat curtains has more down there than I do.

>>5913697
It has a big effect on how one is treated. I'm only part way through transition, and people already treat me much nicer. I wish everybody would treat everybody that nice. The world would be a much better place.
>>
>>5909584
Probably knew you were a guy and didn't want to make a scene with the pat-down.

>go out for drinks with everyone after and cute girl is there
>we end up sitting beside each other
>"Hey Anonette sorry I've been staring at you, I'm just really attracted to tall thin girls like you."
>"H-h-ha, you know I'm trans right?"
>"Yeah but you're still pretty cute. Hey, you want me to show you some makeup stuff sometimes? I never had anyone to teach me as a kid so know it's hard."
>She becomes my bff who has helped me immensely go girl mode, no real tension between us now but she's hinted that when I get chopped she'd be interested
>>
>>5909584
That happened to me too. I realized what was going on and just said I was a dude and then oh course my tits beeped when they switched it. I think if you tuck it shouldn't pick up your dick though right ?
>>
>>5909590
Well Duh. You have long ass hair and a feminine leaning face. You still don't pass though

No one suspects anything with me. I'm pretty much a girl with penis. I'm pretty open about it though. I really don't care if people know, I am who I am.

U don't give a shit cuz ur part of LGBT..

It's a safty thing. I've had friends get jumped after being clocked. You just don't understand that outside this little Internet bubble, you will get the shit kicked out of you for being a "faggot in a dress." I've seen it first hand.

If her voice is perfect then she would pass flawlessly.

Strangers aren't going to think 'this person is a tranny' if their voice is on point and they present as a girl it's probably the last thing to come to mind. Looks are only a part of passing.
>>
>>5913697

Because they want to rape straight people.

This little girl shattered any confidence I may have and I'll probably never go out in girl mode again for months now.

Fuck congrats anon but that story cut me deep
>>
>>5924809
That's because you are a dude with a fucked up brain
>>
>>5924809
honestly that's probably a good thing - everyone else was hugboxxing you and you need the honesty of kids to make sure you don't get hurt in the real world.

It just means you've gotta work harder at it, anon!
