The Top 5 Things Trans Women Wish Guys Knew!

Actually, I "borrowed" this idea from a post I ran across called the "Top Five Things Guys Wish Girls Knew" from a site called College Girl Know How.

So I decided to put a transgender girl spin on it!

1. Don't beg a guy to tell you what's on his mind unless you really want to know.  Genetic world? The guy is thinking about having sex with you.  Trans world? The guy is thinking yes he wants to have sex but does that make him gay.
2. Don't ask a guy if you are fat?  Really? I have spent my whole life wondering why genetic girls try this trap question?  Gender torture? It's just dumb.
3. He hates it when you get all weird when all he wants to do is watch the game.  Somehow genetic women turn this into some sort of ego battle and never understand why they shouldn't.  No pun intended-huge win for the trans girls here.  We understand which winning team to root for-his.
4. Guys don't want to shop with you.  Genetic and trans woman alike...if they do-someday they will end up in your clothes.
5. Guys have no sympathy for you "having nothing to wear."  No contest here, genetic or trans, we don't have anything to wear-no matter what we already have in the closet.  Guys don't understand what you do have may be out of season, not suitable for where you are going or you lack just the right accessory to pull an outfit together.  A wide gap which guys will just have to get over and they do when you find the "right thing to wear" for them.

As you can see, we share much in common with our genetic sisters and that's not so much a surprise if you look at how much we study them!

"Skirting" the Issue

From the earliest days of heading out into the world and exploring my femininity at transvestite "mixers", for whatever reason or another, I was never totally enamored with wearing dresses or skirts.  In return, I was "taken to task" for not doing so.  Very succinctly, I was told why would I wear pants to the mixer if I wear them all the time anyhow.  Of course you all know what a dim view I take of anyone telling me what I should do and women's slacks were always a staple of my very small wardrobe.  (At least my wife approved, so I was "encouraged" to have more.

I'm a believer though, that as a rule of thumb, male legs transition to a feminine look more than any other part of the body.  In fact, in my book "Stiletto's On Thin Ice" I devote several pages of why a dynamite set of legs may be the down fall for novice cross dressers.  If you happen to be like me, the very first compliments I received at Halloween parties I was cross dressing at were, "Wow! You have a great legs!"  I did - but- they were attached to a narrow butt and large feet.  Very simply, I was reacting to the compliments (and the mirror) as any guy would.  I concentrated on my legs and not the entire image.  I think it is one of the reasons you see so many terrible pictures of cross dressers on line who only want to concentrate on their legs when they could transform into pleasant looking women. (Other than the fetish freaks.)

As I said, I didn't stay in the "leg phase" long and began to concentrate on a more complete style.  More importantly I built my style on some sort of an inner voice and bits and pieces of help I could obtain.  Plus, the more I ventured out, the more I had to "blend" with the rest of the women around me-wearing pants for the most part. So here I am today.

Now it seems, I'm coming full circle.  My partner Liz wants to see me in a dress or skirt or two on occasion and even my trans woman friend has commented on why she never sees me in a skirt.  Truthfully, now I don't think my legs justify a skirt.  I did however, run across this fashion update from Fabulous after 40:

Hi Cyrsti,

Does your summer wardrobe consist of the same old pair of shorts, jeans or capris because you just don’t know what else to wear?

Casual dressing is where I see so many women get stuck in a rut - don’t let that happen to you!

A cute skirt is a great alternative - just add a comfy fitted t-shirt, cute sandals and a statement necklace and you’ve got a great casual outfit recipe.

At the right you see Deborah Boland modeling an outfit she was talking about.

Even though there isn't a whole lot of summer yet to come...just maybe I may start "skirting" the issue-next spring?

I know what you are thinking, does Cyrsti even have legs? Yes, I do have legs and to prove it ...to the left is an ancient selfie of me when I had legs.

Deborah did make another really good point which can be strongly applied to cross dressers or transgender women new to the world.  We really don't have much of an idea of dressing causal without looking like "Honey Boo-Boo's" Mom.
