Or any adjective for that matter that one might use to describe the physical characteristics of a female. When I first started dating Kelsey with her being female, and me male (About 7 months into our relationship). Words like "beautiful" didn't slide off the tongue with ease. Even in texting, it was a foreign word for me to be saying to someone who I had previously believed to be male. And with her calling me "handsome", I didn't take it with ease. I don't know if that was because I grew up in a household where female characteristics are beautiful, and masculine features are handsome....or I just had an adjustment period. But things like today...I used to find females attractive (bio females). But now they're just girls...that are lucky enough to have a vagina between their legs and don't have to shave their faces. I guess that's what being trans* (well discovering I am) changed. It changes perspectives. I was wondering if anything similar has happened to any one on here. Where you sort of start redefining a word. Because now, the first thing I think about when i hear the word "beautiful" is Kelsey.
The only thing like that I've found is that I can actually describe people now. I never used terms like beautiful or handsome or pretty before and now I find myself using them often!
Well I don't like people calling me handsome anymore, but it used to be completely normal to me (back when I thought I was male). Now I much prefer to be called cute or pretty! ^_^
"Now I much prefer to be called cute or pretty! ^_^" It really is much better. I remember the first time my mum said I looked cute and I could have died of happiness!
I'm a cis male and I wouldn't object to being called beautiful at all, and I use it to describe other cis guys.
