I've noticed a very interesting nuance in the way some of us refer to ourselves .
I'll use my name in the example. Some say
"Kay went out to the wine bar last night"
Others
"I went to the wine bar last night"
Which do you use ? I can't see , and it's no criticism ,why someone would refer to themselves in the 3rd person . Is it a case of separating the female personna from the rest of their life ? I genuinely don't know . Don't get me wrong I'm not losing sleep just interested .
Myself, I am Kay , Kay is me x
I never really thought about it. But as you ask use the 'I' went out, did this or whatever.
I will generally use the first person when talking about myself. But sometimes I'll refer to myself in the third person depending on the situation.
I'll use third person (or more likely use Alison) sometimes to distinguish that I did something en femme. So instead of saying "I went to the store en femme," I might say "I went to the store as Alison," or "Alison went to the store." Sometimes I'll use "girl mode" too. I rarely refer to myself as "she" except for poetic license.
If I'm speaking in person (rather than in the forums), I might use air quotes around Alison to mean I did something en femme.
I guess it just depends on the mood, and sometimes on the question or the way a question (or reply) is phrased.
Me. I am Gisela, Gisela is me. But once in a while I use the expressions Gisela time or as Gisela.
I clicked on 'I say me' only because there was not an option to say 'both.' As I am so new to this, so far everything has been in writing, and I generally write as Trisha, with the occasional third person side note like 'Trisha likes, or Trisha is', etc. I'm about to meet face to face for the first time with someone as Trisha. In that setting I will be Trisha and Trisha will be me.
I'm in Team I/Me, for pretty much the same reasons as Alison gave. When I'm dressed I think of myself as Jacqueline. It's my female persona, but it's still me.
Interesting question.
I will always use the first person, unless in a rare instance doing so is confusing - i.e. I'm in guy-mode and talking as if I'm not, and then for clarity may refer to Melodee in the 3rd person. Though mostly this is only when chatting with the GF.
I guess I never really thought about differentiated myself...I wouldn't say that Steffie and I went out last night (besides might raise some eyebrows with the SO)...So for me...I am just me.
It’s first person for me. There may be odd time when I refer to myself in the third person, so I may say “Lucy mode” or “boy mode”, but generally it’s I/Me
Oh, this a great question.
Like Jacqueline above, I am in the Team Me camp.
When I am dressed and the final touches are done, I am Samantha completely in mind and spirit when that feminine energy is at 100% (or more lol) I have perfected even my Samantha signature too!
Only been referred to as "her" once when I worked in an office, that is something I will never forget..
Hugs,
Samantha
I always use first person. There are times when my wife will ask "Is Karla going to visit tomorrow?" At that point I will say "Yes, I believe she will." That is the only time I will use third person. Once I'm dressed as Karla, it is still first person.
Interesting. I use the terminology of I. But, if I hurt myself,or do something silly causing damage, I go, "You drongo."
I'm aware I use both. I'm sure that I use 'I/me' more when I'm in full Fiona mode or at least significantly dressed, but 'Fiona/her' more when I'm in drab - but neither one exclusively in those situations. Confusing, eh? 🙂 Sometimes I'll just choose whatever will make my comment sound brighter or more humorous!
I suppose I say “I” almost exclusively. I will refer to needing or preparing to dress as Jill-mode or Jill-time as in “I really need some Jill-time,” or “I can’t wait to go into Jill-mode” when the pink fog is hitting me hard. But for the most part I just use the first person, “I”. Although a fun side note: The second time I applied my makeup (the first was a disaster of epic proportions) it came out so well (I can only assume divine intervention) that I decided to get fully dressed. As I walked in to my bathroom and looked in the mirror at myself as a woman, I said out loud “Hi Jill, it’s so nice to finally meet you.”
Thanks for the great question and an excuse to share my silly story!
Hugs to all of you who make this site such a wonderful place! Jill
I always refer to myself in the first person.
I am the same person, regardless of what type of clothing I am wearing.
People use different names throughout their lifetime. Yet, they remain the same person.
