"But I'm not trying to be a girl!"

Had a conversation at work with Aurella, and I was grousing about my lack of progress lately with my transition, and she said. "Oh please. I've had SRS, and I can wear a skirt and pigtails and still get called 'Sir.' You met my mom, and just yesterday she referred to you as 'the woman who came over once'. You cant complain about your progress."

I was taken aback, and said, "But ... I wasnt trying to be feminine."

Later, I remembered conversations I have had with my friend Jaci, where I have said she acts like a girly girl, and she has said, "But I'm not trying to act like a girl at all!"

And I guess that's the point. When you have a female inside you, it will come out unless you work hard to hide it. And now, I feel safe enough to let my feminine side out, and people are seeing me as a woman. And boy, does that feel good ....
