What I'm wondering is those that transistioned after say, 20 years old, do you notice sexist remarks and how you are treated differently as a female than you were presenting as a male.
One of my stories had some of this in.The character was laughed at when she gave an opinion on football. Her partner ordered her drink and food without even asking herThis was guesswork though.
In the 80's I saw a documentary where a man posed as a women for a few days with hidden cameras.(post Tootsie)
In the plumbers merchant they told her she should ask her boyfriend or husband what she actually needed. The garage tried to convince her there was more wrong with her car than there was(this happens to guys too). She worked behind a bar at the end, a man knew she was male due to her large hands.
I asked this on a site I was on and got flamed. "you understand nothing about trans you f*&^" "They are born women" etc. That was not what I was asking. It's just trans people have a unique perspective on this, living on both sides of the fence in one lifetime.
The site was Tvchix. I deleted my profile last week. The forums are full of nasty activists, the worse one was an extremely left wing TV, who sounded like a man hating feminist. Men were the cause of the all the problems in the world, they should all die etc. She was a TV, but spent most of her time as male like me. When I pointed she like me, were part of the problem then. Didn't go down well.
Odd site they wouldn't let me post this innocent story

because it had boys in it. Yet there is no policing the vitriol on the forums.
I apologize in advance if the question uspsets anyone. I'm just curious. At lot of you ladies have tales to tell I'm sure. You seem a lot nicer on here. So far... (ducks for cover LOL)
