I liked not being burdened with a heavy purse. I liked all my clothes being merely functional and not highly decorative. I liked wearing simple, comfortable shoes. I liked feeling more comfortable with my big belly -- such an obscenity to have a big belly as a woman -- not so, as a man. It was very freeing and while i don't intend to transition i learned i DO like to cross-dress. It adds more variety to life, to experience life as another gender. My voice is a dead give-away tho, as it is high and feminine. I will have to work on striking a lower pitch when i cross-dress. It was such a transformative experience today, i was devastated to get negative feedback on it and so appreciate you chiming in, especially as a mom of a trans daughter! |
Oh yes, I understand what you've written here. If I saw you in person I would most likely recognize you as a woman in men's clothing but then again I have always been fascinated by gender. I have a good friend who's a eunuch and so is his partner. We've been writing emails to each other for almost 20 years now! He said he toyed with the idea of transitioning but figured out that he didn't so much want to be a woman as he just didn't want to be a man anymore. He reminds me lots of my grandmother when I was a kid. I've seen several photos of him and he looks soft- skin wise and his fat distribution is more like a female's but not exactly. It's a very interesting thing indeed! He wears men's clothing, too .
So yes, I can relate to your curiosity with gender and gender rolls and physical appearance.
