She was like "dayuuum those boobiess" and I couldn't help but giggle that off. It's the first time a woman has done that. I feel conflicted. Like when it's a man I'm creeped out/scared but this felt, good? I feel like that woman in the "hello, human resources" meme 🙃

Was at a science-y event recently and was mistaken to be trans fem... But they were trying to be transphobic by calling me he/him lol, I kinda just looked at them and they, all smug, we're like "well, you're not making much effort with that beard, love. Can't expect people to think you're a woman if you miss spots when you're shaving." Bruh. I'm not even on t yet haha, but I'm androgynous enough to be stealth irl so I was like "oh, I'm not trying to be a woman. My name's [my legally changed, bog standard male name]." And I held my hand out for a handshake BC it disarms them so well to be a gentleman hehe.

Fucking sucks ass that the ladies here get that kinda shit (BC if those people were doing that to me, they clearly feel confident to do it to others) but maybe it'll show them that just because someone has long hair and a scruffy, patchy beard doesn't always mean they're an early transition mtf and so those bastards need to shut their mouths before some lad of a bigger build knocks them into next week.

I love being a scientist, I hate that science is such a conservative career. Basic levels of respect shouldn't need to be taught but here we are...

I was at a community concert with my kids, wearing a baseball cap and an unbuttoned linen shirt over a tank. An old lady came up to our blanket from behind me to ask for help opening a bottle of soda. "I couldn't open this, and thought i could ask a big, strong..." and she trailed off as she saw me from the front in all my made-up glory. She did not finish her sentence, and my son least forward to volunteer.

She was clearly a bit unsure, but she didn't misgender me! That's something, right?

Since starting HRT about a decade ago, let’s just say my rear has got very kardashian looking and my hip bones have broadened significantly where some men seem to stare at my behind.

My manager has me bending over a lot to reach the bottom shelves so I often crouch instead, One time he said “Looking good Tina” as I was fixing the shelves so there was plausible deniability.

On christmas eve I said to him “I’ll have to work extra hard today if I want Santa to come” and he laughed. Sadly he was already in a relationship (not that he would automatically want to date me if I knew I was a trans woman).

Lately, I’ve started crouching so it’s harder to ogled.

The other week a customer walked past carrying a jar off a shelf and brushed it right against my buttocks.

He then said to one of my coworkers “She’s an absolute beauty that one.”

I knew what he was doing but I was too affirmed by it that I let him pretend it was an accident :3

I know it would be be bad for a cis woman whose used to being affirmed but I much prefer this to how I used to be treated in my early years of transitioning where people on the streets would hurl abuse at me demanding to know what gender I was.

Now that I’m passing far more often, I’m taking literally anything.

It’s gotten to the point where my female coworker has started giving me advice now to wear rings on my fingers so that men stay away.

But I don’t know. I kinda like the affirmation. xD

I was wearing a super hot little body con dress and my little heels having a lil stoner sl”t walk and these men drove buy in a truck and called out to me as they drove by. I knew the mones were doing their thing today. Felt great.

I've always had "Disney Princess powers" with animals, even ones who usually don't like strangers in general. But yesterday when I took my cat to the vet, there was this dog there who looked like she really wanted to come up to me but kept hesitating and backing away weirdly. The owner told me that the dog just really hates men (I pass pretty much 100% these days).

It was a wee bit heartbreaking, definitely gender-affirming, but also just kind of funny because the dog was looking at me like I was giving her an uncanny valley effect. XD

for some context im transgender mtf, havent transitioned but ive been told i have a feminine body and features to the point where i might fool some people when i have longer hair (which i had during this)

the first instance was at the start of june when i was walking to get vaccinated, and i was really stressed during this as i was rushing until i hear a bark, i look to my side and as i am walking i see a man pulling down his windows and he starts BARKING at me?? i was already stressed so i just got pissed off and wondered what the fuck was wrong with people, and yk it was disgusting but he affirmed me.. i guess?? 😭

the second instance was 2 weeks later at my graduation, and in my country when you graduate you ride a truck for like 4 hours around town and party in it, with most people gathering around to watch the party and celebration

i was just partying and having a good time, until i stop for a second and i see this middle aged bald man ogling me with this seductive look rubbing his hands together and licking his lips?? my best friend was right next to me and she thought he was doing it to her until she looked besides her to see me disgusted and we both screamed “WTFFFF” 😭😭 and started laughing

i sadly didnt have a water bottle to throw at him, but again yk.. im not too irritated because at least they affirmed me i guess LMFAOOOO

This is very much small compared to other stuff me and other trans people relate here, but my boyfriend was watching a video on his ig reels, and he didn't show it to me because "I wouldn't get it". When I insisted, I saw it was a joke about prostate exams. I said "babe, you DO know I have a prostate, right?", and I swear to god this man had a SHOCKED look in his eyes. Note that I'm a pre-op trans woman, he met me very early into my transition, and he sees me naked every day.

I’m following one of my male coworkers and he runs into two friends and they instantly start talking about their last f*pping. They form a circle closing me off.

My coworker says to them “Well, I just had my last wnk and was fpping like mad.” One of them then says “Um, there’s a woman here.” The other makes eye contact with me and says “Oh look, a lady. She won’t understand.”

I pretend to act confused like I’ve always had a vagina knowing full well I know what they’re talking about.

Another time a boomer coworker was slagging off a female manager to a group of men and me and said “I don’t mean any offence against women but what does some 23 year old girl know to be managing my department?”

And then looked at me again and said “You can’t have it all ways. You want equality, you should be doing more lifting around here.”

I have to admit I felt affirmed being dismissed like that on all those occasions xD

Was out at a bar with friends, in a relatively androgynous fit that I thought was fem leaning. Most people assume im a woman from my appearance, which is definitely not the goal. We were standing outside chatting when some guy walks up asking for cigarettes. I dont even smoke so I ignored him, and after asking a few more times and kind of starting to cuss us out he goes "Aw come on boy toy" which is?? Oddly validating, and also sexual harassment.

Basically i work in retail so i meet a lot of peolle just on tills and ive had a few times where ive been called a lady or mam by customers which in and of itself makes me really happy but the other day i was serving a couple and under their breath i heard them call me a tranny... and for some reason it made me really excited and hyper the reat of the shift. For context im not on e or where makeup but i apparently have a kind of feminine face naturally (so my girlfriend says) but i was happy that someone found me feminine enough to see me as trans... even if they called me tranny as an insult.

So I’m a trans gal and I was at this big XIXth century historical reenactment event. I was all prepped up in my 1860’s historically accurate outfit, vibing while waiting for friends, when suddenly ! A guy in his 50’s, wearing a cap with a large far right party logo on it, came up to me and said “What a pretty blond lady ! They don’t do them like you anymore !"
…
I curtsied and said thank you mechanically like I do when anyone compliments me on my outfit while doing reenactment before flying away, a little bit confused…
I still don’t know how to feel about this.
