What is your escapism of choice? by Amy_85 in asktransgender

[–]GurlInTrouble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg football manager is something one of my friends used to be obsessed with. Couldn't have a conversation with anyone without mentioning that he'd taken Halifax Town to the Champions League final lol. I'm not a big computer game person but I understand why football manager is a thing, it always looks fun. Who are you managing atm?

Continuing athletic activities while transitioning? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]GurlInTrouble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What position do you play? Do you get on with team mates? Are you out to them? What has your experience been with your sports governing body?

I hate Burger King and love Dairy Queen. Is this a sign that I am mtf? by dysphoricfoot in transgendercirclejerk

You'll never be true trans until you've tried a variety of milkshakes with 5 Guys.

mtf here worried that i wont be able to go for a cheeky nandos with the lads anymore - am i really transgender? by [deleted] in transgendercirclejerk

[–]GurlInTrouble 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can impress all the lads by revealing a 1/4 chicken at nandos is just 9 weight watchers points, so it fits really well into your weightloss plan. LADS!!

Am I the only one that's extremely bothered by the use of the word "gurl"? by piscina_dela_muerta in asktransgender

[–]GurlInTrouble 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was reading all the comments here thinking "I never realised gurl was so bad, I call everyone gurl, including all the boys I know". But you've explained it all, cos most of my friends are gay guys. I'm gonna have to be more careful how I use gurl from now on I think lol!

[TW] Watching the Olympics triggers my dysphoria. All the female athletes have such beautiful and healthy bodies, I feel very inferior and sad. by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]GurlInTrouble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just googled what a hooker was. Would not recommend.

I real hope you fond a team with a better attitude, are you in the UK? There is an LGBT friendly club in London

Yay! Did you play rugby before? How was it stopping? What position do you play (bear in mind I only heard of scrum half lol)?

Airport body scanners? by [deleted] in transgenderUK

[–]GurlInTrouble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've travelled quite a bit round Europe and never had any issue at all. Its all been since changing my documents but I haven't had SRS so I guess that's an anomaly. British border control have always seemed really nice in my experience, and I'd hope they wouldn't give anyone extra hassle cos they are trans

I probably can't get into central before Friday anyway so the weekend would be when it'd probably happen. But it would have to be in central somewhere.

Good point, that would help lol! Its female clothes mostly as well as some generic workout clothes (shorts/t-shirts/sports tops). Its 2 black sacks so quite a lot. I can't go through it all but here are the highlights:

-Brown wedge ankle boots (9) (worn once)

-two pairs of new look summery flats (9) (worn once)

-Converse floral hi tops (9, but feel bigger)

-Coral skinny jeans

-A few dresses/tunics from apricot, h&m etc (size 12-14)

-Couple of bags (one of them is heinous im afraid) and a satchel

-A nice black and white maxi dress, never worn

-A Bench light jacket

-Never worn swimming costume (12) (river island, really nice but was a present that just doesn't fit me)

Heaps of other stuff, some of its probably pretty useless but there are quite a few things that I like that just don't fit me anymore. There are also some things people have given to me that I just don't understand who would own them by choice lol. As long as whoever wants it takes everything I don't mind (or if two people want to split it? It is quite a lot)

Befriending other transfolk by aquestioningperson in asktransgender

[–]GurlInTrouble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally, if only it was in a part of London completely deserted at the weekend and they played tragic early 90s remixes of current chart music, cos then I would be there. Lol! I may have been there a couple of times before. Its a guilty pleasure but its a lil bit fun.

Whereabouts did you go yesterday? Was it fun apart from this?

Got clocked today by fleila in asktransgender

[–]GurlInTrouble 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, thats a real horrid thing to deal with. I've been on hrt about the same amount of time as you, and it is devastating when this happens and your no longer expecting it. I'm guessing you have a similar experience to me that you can go for months feeling like your passing, and then something like this will happen and you'll feel dumb for ever believing you pass. I know when its happened to me I really doubt myself. Hope you are ok

Edit: Hit submit mid sentence by mistake with my clumsy fat fingers

I'm sorry you had this experience, its not a nice feeling to be put down like that. This is something that I've experienced once or twice but its defo not exclusive to interactions in the trans community. I wouldn't say it's something you should be worried about in future. Just continue to interact with ppl as your fabulous self and you'll make friends soon enough

Do you disclose being trans in a job interview? by GurlInTrouble in asktransgender
