well I hope you pass
MTFs who don't pass get the brunt of the beatings and discrimination
unemployment in the transgender community is about 70%, I hope you're one of the fortunate few
I hope you end up more like Theresa Sparks and less like Angie Zapata or even the many trannies who turn to sex work as their only means of support 11/15/2010 1:57:12 AM |

yes. i'm fully aware of all of these things and how much more difficult it might make life. but it's just something i have to do regardless. no one chooses to be this way. if they did, they'd be insane. 11/15/2010 1:59:59 AM |

No reason for haters at all IMO. No one is hurt or negatively effected. And one person is better off.

indeed I noticed Catch 22 had said she was MTF in that thread
but this is a good thread to focus on her
and this might not be a troll thread just because this is Chit Chat, I mean I came out in Chit Chat Quote : | "i still like girls FWIW" | this is an important point: "trans" is not the same as "super dee-duper gay" and it's not unheard of for a straight man to become a translesbian
BTW I wonder whether qntmfred is willing to change the "Sex" in Catch 22's profile from M to F11/15/2010 2:27:32 AM |

i just think chit chat is way more active than lounge. plus learning to take the good with the bad is something i will surely need to deal with in the near future. if i can't deal with it on the internet im going to have a hard time dealing with it IRL.
im not so different from everyone else. i just want to be judged on my merit as a person and not some label i happen to fall into 11/15/2010 2:32:18 AM |

For what its worth, I don't believe this is a troll thread at all. Catch has chatted w/ me in pm a few months back about this. So unless she is running a long con, this is legit.11/15/2010 2:34:40 AM |

I am actually interested in how well the OP passes, but it's okay if she doesn't post pix; I mean I only posted one pic of myself on these Internets and took it down shortly thereafter, because I am embarrassed about how I look and I always think I look less attractive than other people tell me I look 11/15/2010 2:36:29 AM |

to be honest, i dont really go out as a girl that often because it always feels fake and draggish and im not really a flamboyant person. but some of the few times i have been out people thought i was actually female. it helps that im not that tall or muscular or anything 11/15/2010 2:40:42 AM |
lewisje All American 9196 Posts user info edit post |
it's good to avoid being too garish
btw idk whether you're Premium, but qntmfred, the owner of this place, is willing to change the Sex field on your profile from M to F; he just said so in the Chat, send him a PM if interested

oh ok
so like what did you do? I mean my biggest problems right now are my hair (I wish it were shoulder length but someone whose advice I can't ignore keeps insisting on shorter hair), my weight (BMI in the low "obese" range), my voice (then again I've never tried training on a consistent basis) and my height (5'10")
about the best I could pull off is aping Mrs. Doubtfire lol 11/15/2010 2:51:12 AM |

She is able to look the part IMO, but idk how she sounds so idk whether she could pass
much like with Supplanter she has talked about this via PM with me
because of my utter lack of shame there's a good chance if I cross-dressed I would actually post pix of it in public (especially if I thout I looked better than I normally do), but I have read on the Internets and in My Husband Betty that many a TG and CD is a bit more discreet about such things 11/15/2010 4:04:30 AM |

I am also not flamboyant
then again swishing and prancing is difficult with a few dozen extra pounds 11/15/2010 4:27:50 AM |

the way she has been able to incorporate parts of her former self into the person she is now is something i really admire
^ prancing may be harder, but swishing seems like it would be easier

So, to clarify for my own curiosity, you were born a physical male that otherwise identifies as a woman and are attracted to women? If so, I'm quite intrigued. Well I am in any case but especially in that one. 11/15/2010 4:37:19 AM |
Catch 22 Veteran 204 Posts user info edit post |
yes, that is correct
basically... gender =/= sexual orientation
or physical sex =/= sexuality
pretty much none of those things equal each other 11/15/2010 4:40:02 AM |
paerabol All American 17118 Posts user info edit post |
So would it be a gross oversimplification to reduce your sexuality to "lesbian in the body of a male?"
Forgive me for my boorish nature
