Referring to Myself
Yesterday I was chatting with a coworker on messenger (she is also one of my best friends). As we were chatting, I was updating a marketing flyer. One of the updates was adding a bullet point of 5 Docks. I ended up typing 5 Dicks. Thank goodness I noticed what I typed. Otherwise that would have been bad. So I told her what I typed, her response was "freud what?". I joked saying I guess I know what I have on the brain. She laughed. Then I made the comment of I'm sure you don't hear that often coming from a guy. That got me thinking. Do I still refer to myself as a guy? I mean I still look like a guy, but I think and feel like a girl. For people that know me being a transgender woman, do I start referring to myself as a girl or should I remain referring to myself as a guy until I start looking more like a girl and dressing more as a girl? My head hurt just thinking about it. I'm not sure how to approach that. When people on Tumblr, blogger, and Genderfest respond to me they all refer to me as a girl. At what point do I start referring to myself as a girl with my friends? Guess I have some thinking to do.
