    Haha and i'm over here thinking i'm going to get me some Chucks to wear when I wear my "man" shorts :slight_smile: Yeah for Chucks for being gender neutral!!!

    -So for right now I'm maybe transitioning to expressing more non-binary, but relate a lot to FTM's, so I feel like this is an appropriate feeling..

    feeling like you're going through puberty again except actually thinking it's cool and not "why is this happening to me?"

    Aha. Except I feel like I'm going through puberty for the first time for real. I sank into books for the time of the biological one, becuase nothing made the slightest sense except me urging to crossdress, maybe.

    As a trans-guy, finishing shark week is like emerging from a seven day battle.

    when you're half way home and realize you forgot to pick up your refill for blockers and turn around and drive back 15 miles to get them, because you wont be in the office for a couple days. ( I use the pharmacy next to my office.)

    also, when you constantly check to see if your patch is coming off.....

    When you thank your orthopedic surgeon after having both knees replaced, because in the process, you went from almost 6ft down to just under 5'10"...

    Thinking about all the irony, because of all the hours (as a Master Mechanic), you spent trying to pull that stupid "tranny" out of the freaking car........ that created the need for knee replacements in the first place...:bang:

    Or, when you are sitting there, looking at your balls, while wishing that you had the balls to just cut your balls off your self........ DAMN, I wish my apt for my HRT would get here sooner..... BAH!! :tantrum::***::tantrum:

    When you are out to only few friends and someone other then them "misgenders" you and then you start to think if one of the friends told someone else about it.

    You enthusiastically discuss genital surgery with friends, and don't cringe for one second. Not fucking once.

    You giggle around people you're not out to and hope they don't notice.

    You bulge-check every outfit.

    You begin to enthusiastically discuss make-up with anyone female, better yet, seem to know exactly what will work on a man...

    You swing your hips the moment nobody is looking.

    You've given an explanation about why you wore make-up that time about 20 times... and you're terrified of being accused of being a liar the moment you come up.

    You're a little too willing to try being a "drag queen".

    You beam the moment you find a selfie angle that makes you look feminine.

    You try REAAAALLLY hard not to look at the women's sections whenever you go shopping.

    You can say "Nobody understands me!" and actually mean it!!!

    Peace out!

    Your family gives you new clothes for the holidays and it makes you feel like dying.

    The waiter calls you by the "wrong" pronouns and you're so happy you leave an extra big tip.

    You have a special appreciation for people who casually call you "bro" or address the group of people you're in as "guys."

    You have very strange ideas about how women feel about their gender or relationships because you've been raised to think you have a normal female perspective.

    Especially that last bit.

    I was always like, "Hmmm... So, girls like being girls?" It was a new idea to me but it makes since now because I know I'm a guy and thus have a different perspective. Now I realize, hell, women are awesome.

    It works the other way too. I remember convincing myself "no one likes being a guy." And actually buying that for years, then my mind was blown when I found out that guys actually DO like being guys. Now that I know I'm actually a girl I know that my perspective is different and totally messed up.

    I can agree with the above too. I thought I really got the bad option. I mean seriously pudding muscles, makeup and weird logic. Noooo. Women are beautiful, when it's not yourself.

    When we're at the logic point: Pop media always expects trans guys to understand women. Yes we do...as much as every other guy
