Ive done a little voice training. I had good range before and that seemed to help. I have a passable, yet deeper female voice.

I'm not very far along the transition process. The only place I've been to for any decent length of time is my local bar where I know the people. I generally use the male bathroom because I know I won't get beaten up in there, however I use the female bathroom if I'm wearing a skirt as there's no lock in the male cubicle.

Using bathrooms terrifies me as it's the most likely place for a seriously bad reaction. I've avoided going places because of it. I've never had an issue using a bathroom in my local.

I know a (huge, scary) tran called Opal that claims she likes to take home dudes and be like [in a squeaky voice] "This is the voice I kiss you with" and then, in a scary man voice "Now this is the voice I gently caress YOU WITH". S'pretty cool that she has options like that.

I use the guys room more than anything. The womens room is usually disgusting and there are way longer lines.

If a guy gives me a hassle in the bathroom I just leave.

When im forced to use the Womens room I just go in and do my thing. I rarely have any issues, but im also a bit more passable than most.

Converse, jeans and hoodie/top and cardigan/cowl necked purple sweatshirt that is badass. I don't pass so I guess people would consider it androgynous, or at least gender bending to a degree.

Not much. It's incredibly dysphoric and I had no idea if I was making progress as I was doing it. I need to get back to doing it.

I don't play games very often anymore, but I mostly played as female characters. The last game I played was The Wolf Among Us and you play as a dude in that.

Well, it happens all the time in humanity, which is a part of nature. There are sex-changing animals. There is also evidence among primates of both male and female members of a group adopting behaviour of the opposite sex and being accepted by the other members of the group.

In the vast majority of cases they're creepy as gently caress. They fetishize trans people and treat trans people like objects. An example is at a trans club where two of the trans people there were presenting male but most female. The chasers would come up to the group and completely ignore the male presenting people (even though it was obvious we were trans.) This of course didn't go down well with any of the people and they were told to gently caress off.

I have no objection to people being attracted specifically to trans people, as a fetish or kink or anything like that. I do have a problem with creepiness. I've talked to a few "chasers" online that aren't creepy at all. They're just normal people who have a thing for trans people. I wouldn't call them chasers though as that's a pretty negative thing.

Sorry, but I can still physically out perform just about every girl ive met. Im also taller than most genetic chicks which can be another advantage in some sports.

Its not "fair" in my eyes. Just my opinion though.

Short answer, yes. Longer answer would have to do with hormone levels, level of transition, time after transition and level of competition.

I went to an all boys school, so all boys during primary school.
High school was mostly women.
College was mostly men.
Now it's about a 50:50 split.
