Do you have girly tendencies?

Definitely, always have had girly or feminine tendencies, they've been noticeable since childhood and now I exhibit them everyday. Never have been a "Man's man" but was forced to act like one by societies dictates of how a boy should act.  I failed miserably at acting like a boy or man as I always knew I was born to be a woman.

I am transgender, knew I was "different at the age of 3 or 4, and now live as a trans woman.

I have always had these tendencies and like Lauren I can express them to the full. Sure I still did the expected macho things but always retained a more placid and empathetic nature which aligned me quite well to a woman.

In hindsight it has become apparent that my feminine side was always stronger than I thought it was because I suppressed it for decades.

as a child I always walked on tip toes and my mother

said I should have been a girl.

Little did she know?

Yes for sure. I have always wanted to have pretty fem feet with painted nails. I feel natural prancing around in heels and dancing like a girl.

Does crossing your legs like a girl count? It has always felt more natural to me. I always felt I had to watch myself so other people wouldn’t notice. Now I don’t care. I’m going to do it the girly way.😀

I would say so that counts.

Like for yrs I would denied that fact I do girly hand jesters. Till my wife did a video of me doing it without me knowing.

Then she show me the video. I was busted dead to rights

I thought I was a gay man (nothing wrong with that) the way I was moving my hands around when I'm excited about a conversion I was having.

My fem totally came out that day

Not sure if this counts but I went to all boys school and they treated me like a girl. It seems I came across as somehow feminine. It wasn't easy but I knew even then that a large part of me liked it.

Thank you MacKenzie Alexandra for fixing the question. I couldn't figure out how not have it be all bold font.

Hi Janet i went to an all boys school too, they didn't treat me like a girl but i got picked on a lot because i was the quiet one at the back of the classroom, X

H Janet.I didn't go to a an all boys school but I went to an all boys class.I got teased for my. feminine ways.I pretended that I didn't like it.One boy who I had a bit of a crush on used to tease me all the time.He once asked me if I was a girl and did I wear a bra? He used to tease me quite often in class.Looking back,maybe he thought that I was cute.

Hi Roberta maybe he did think you were cute,

Maybe he felt the same but was hiding it like everyone else X

Oh boy... here we go,
I have a background in psychology and a residual strong interest.
I still read papers as I try to keep up.
As a result of some intensive studies of the differences between male and female brains (Well of course there are studies, what haven't they studied? LOL)
So as a result of these studies, there is this obvious statement:
There are psychological tells of a female mind versus male mind.
One, is what you ask when you meet someone.
Early on when meeting someone new, men will ask: "What do you do?"
Whereas women will ask about family and children.

The other tendency is competitiveness, men compete and cajole each other.
Women tend to form teams and work together and are more supportive.
Women also express emotions where men do not.
There is lots more but this is two of the most glaring ones for me...
I have many friends and I have no clue or only a vague idea of what most of them do for a living.
However I am keenly aware of there family situation, their children and marital status.

As for competitiveness, even in business I tended to befriend "competitors" and engage them in mutually beneficial arrangements, believing there is room for us all and we can support each other
There are lots of other differences but when I went through the paper in the 1990's I was stunned. I wasn't "out" yet and only one person in the world knew of my dressing.
I buried the knowledge and ignored it until fairly recently.
MY wife knows about it and acknowledges my very strong female tendencies and considers me a girlfriend. My wife says I am 90% female but that 10% male part of me is strong when it comes out. However, my children send me mothers day cards and when she was alive so did my mother... interesting.

My best friend who was the only one who knew before my wife... also a woman... considers me to be "half female" as well (her words)  I visited her for a week a while ago and I was unconsciously very comfortable with her and her women friends for the week.
Yes, my best friend ever is a woman who I have known longer than my wife, and the three of us are besties... just a bunch of women. LOL

Weird but how did I get this lucky?

You know now that you said this. That's another girl tendency I have.

That me and my wife never caught on. Till you said it.

Like how I how everyone I know. That I know their family and marriage status. But I don't know or care what they do for a living.

Plus my wife is also my best friend of all time and how I make a closer connection to my female friends then my male friends.

These are two things we never notice before. Till we just read what you wrote.
