Basic Transitioning Steps

I wanted to give this update as to what I've been doing, no question today though.

Now I don't intend to start any type of transition until I have completed basic training, but there are definitely things that I can do to get some of the feel of what it will be like. I have decided that I need to sit and pee like a woman all the time, so for about two weeks now I have been sitting with my legs crossed or together and I no longer stand when I pee. On top of that, when I am alone I make sure that I am walk like a woman and I practice my voice control. Oh and on top of all that I am trying to stay tucked as much as possible.

Tucking: It's not that bad and I typically stay tucked for at least two days straight (taking breaks when I shower or am doing strenuous activity). I did however stop tucking over the weekend because I was doing manual labor off and on in the presence of my father. I wear two pairs of panties to help keep me tucked so I don't have to tape anything (thank god) but the panties are fairly obvious and I would prefer my father not see. The point is that I haven't been wearing them since Sunday, but I have been missing them. Not because of the fact that they are panties but because I hate feeling the presence of my penis. I just wish it weren't there and I definitely like the shear feeling of being tucked rather than feeling my thing flop around between my legs (yuck!)

As for Sitting: Nobody seems to notice. My brother might but he also knows about my . . . habit. I think denial might be playing a role here. I like sitting with my legs crossed and have for a very long time but never could because it is feminine in my society. I wish tucking my testicles didn't get in the way of comfortability. Sometimes I get nauseous when I go to tie my shoes because of the pressure it puts on my testicles, so I had to come up with another way to reach for my shoes which a woman might do.

Peeing: This is a biggie. I spend more time in the bathroom now than I did before simply because there are about seven extra steps for a T-Girl than there are for a Guy. I seem to take a crap more now than before. I've become a pooing machine. I suppose my body is just going with the flow. Um, and I think that does it except I believe I understand why women take less time to poo then a man. As a man I would take a magazine with me, but as a woman I don't need or want to complicate it and I'm already in there more than I would want (having experienced both worlds).

Walking: I still don't walk correctly. I'm sure women don't even think about how they walk most of the time and here I am trying to imitate them like a monkey. I think I have the legs and feet down, but I just can't figure out what to do with my hands.

Speaking: Yuk, maybe singing lessons would help. I guess I can try.
