Girl meeting parents/family first time

[amberskyi]

there are some people who do that out of respect for the other person. people do that one this very website.

also- things that "clock" transsexuals can be different depending on the person noticing. most of the time it's something that will set off suspicion- the size of someone's hands, how someone speaks, how they behave.

My nurse is asking if i have a menstrual cycle out of respect ? Lol okay dude your right.I'm sure all ts woman are apparent to everyone.we all just look like men.
I have no reason to lie to you.I'm not pretending to be the most passable girl, I've admitted i get clocked but i also been in many situations where people didn't know.

again- someone doesn't need to throw a slur at you or give you problems to clock you. in the western world, this usually works against someone. so it's usually in someone's best interest not to let you know that they know.

also for a lot of people who aren't familiar with transsexuals- they aren't thinking about that (especially in public). so they may notice something about someone that would clock them- but they're not even thinking in those terms and don't have the term "cloak" in their vocabulary.

That comment had nothing to do with getting clocked.i was responding to another person post about how socially intolerant he thought certain states were

I live in southern Virginia and go to Nashville regularly. I've never had any problems at all.sometimes you guys have a tendency to dramatize the social stigma you think we girls face.
I'm sure not everyone is ts friendly but I've never had a slur thrown at me or been disrespected.i just hear about how tall i am all the damn time.that's the most annoying thing about my life lol

I'm from a Navy town, a lot like Norfolk, but no race relation issues to speak of here. I watch people a lot, OK I assume when I see two ladies together I often think Lez but without judgement. I can't think of one time here where I've thought "She's a Tgirl", either they are not here or they blend in. A year ago the concept was quite foreign as I had not met a Tgirl. I had seen and noted when travelling Drag Queens, but they were dressing to stand out.

I think acceptance comes a lot from whether they see a person dressing to be attractive, normal, or neutral verses slutty or pornstar. If one is not putting their agenda in their faces, they are generally pretty accepting. If you want to be seen as the person you are, as in personality, goals, and qualities chances are the parents will be positive. If you present a Label, it might not go well.

As Amber noted, I often have found that rural america is very hospitable as long as you are not campaigning to change their lives. She is noticed for how tall she is, and how attractive. But they bring up the tall. I suspect when she is out and about she dresses mainstream woman, not slutty.

I seem to recall another thread where TS girls "trick" guys out on the town that after an hour or two of talking at close range and possibly kissing the guy has no clue.

But the casual observer at 50 feet in 2 seconds clocks the same Tgirl.

i didn't say that's for sure the reason why she asked you whether you have a menstrual cycle. she may not even have cared and asked the question on default. she may have had a long day- worked all night. or she may genuinely not been able to clock you.

people ask questions indirectly all the time especially on subjects they consider are sensitive like age.
