Many years ago prior to my real life test I would go out dressed with no fear except when leaving and returning home. If I was wearing any type of heels that made noise as most do I would avoid landing on the heel and tippy toe inside my house. Have not done that for many years. So today I wear a nice pair of business style pumps and while walking along a hallway found myself tippy toe for a few steps. I thought to myself, WTF then had one of those moments "yes this was from back in the day when I would tippy toe back into my house. Luckily nobody saw me do that because that would be awkward. So later I walk into the section I work in and one of the ladies there said "Karen", I turn to see what she wants. She says you are wearing FM heels! I said what? she repeated herself and she smiles. Okay, tell me what FM means. She said they are F*** ME signals in regards to my heels to men. I countered and said, there is nothing sexy about these heels. She said it doesn't matter they are still FM heels. We both had a laugh then I said, what if I change into my flats. Without skipping a beat she said, then after a smoke too (you know, many have a cigarette after sex) and we both laughed again. So after lunch I walked into her cube with flats on as I always have a pair in my car trunk (or boot) and did not say a word. She finally looks down and cracks up. Me thinking "I nailed it".

Still still have a pair of five inch heels w/o platform bottoms. Could only stand in them for short periods. They are now reserved for the bedroom only.

That reminds me of being unwilling to go outside the front of my house if neighbours were about, and even tip toeing around the rear of the house to the rear of the garage when wearing heels, even though noone could see me ! How daft ! I went out to one of our Libraries to do a H&S check for work recently, and I wore 5" heels with 1" platform soled Nine West ankle boots, the Library manager said "how do you walk in those heels, I can't wear anything more than 2 and a half inch heels". We both laughed at the situation where a cis woman was asking a trans woman such a female question .................... Encouragable?, yes you definately are...................

Hiya Karen. Your colleague's description of Your heels, had Me in stitches. I think You have had the last laugh though Sweetheart, having the Flat Shoes in the Trunk/Boot of Your car. You really are encourageable ! Good on You Karen. Take Care, With Very Best Wishes, Stephanie. xoxo.

Today I was driving to the board of elections for election training. I was in boy mode and had my hair in a pony tail. I was not trying to look female at all and never during the entire five minute conservation did I try to disguise my voice. When I went into a parking structure near the meeting location to park and I asked the attendant if he knew if this was the right place to park for the election training. He called me "mam" and said he was not aware of the class. He then asked was I trying go to the meeting place for the "league of women voters." he said he could direct me there. I could tell now that he thought I was a woman. He finally directed me to the right location after calling me "Mam" twice more and asked me again if I really was looking for a meeting with the league of woman voters. When he gave me the directions he was really patronizing to me, asking me twice did I understand the directions. (After I left I was thinking he thought I was a woman and in his mind did not expect me to be good with directions)

Transgendering is a wonderfully descriptive verb, my erudite wife used it a few years ago, funnily enough to an American writer.

I enjoy the verb "transgendering" :-) That's ridiculous that he'd diagnose you as an alcoholic based on that information! i used to be a much heavier drinker (prior life circumstances drove it), and yet I was never an alcoholic (alcohol abuser yes). Having said that, I think you're right that at least there isn't any harm in abstaining for a bit, especially with the possibility of things getting hung up because of it!

Hi Monica, I plan to get a second opinion from Dr Seal their Endocrinologist. Dr Barrett is viewed by many girls that have passed through ChX GIC as a real pain in the ass (polite term). I never take what I'm told as gospel unless it's corroborated by other qualified people. However I have been until recently what can be best described as a heavy drinker, but I rarely get drunk once or twice a year perhaps, I just like the taste of alcoholic drinks, I have never felt that they liberate me or that I need a drink or I'll die, I know that I have never been an alcoholic, and that I never will become one. Stopping drinking until mid December is a good plan for me anyway I need to lose weight 20lbs (UK) or thereabouts. People say that giving up booze helps this, after nearly 4 weeks I haven't noticed it at all, so far. So I don't really care what he say's he doesn't know for sure, and I am not scheduled to see him again anyway. Cheers, Eve
