Coordinate term: boymode

Saw another cow-orker at a local big hoity-toity benefit gala. Just went up and tapped him on the shoulder. Of course I told two others who were with me to follow me if they wanted to see a real goodie. He was very shocked, but cool about it. :) Took him a few seconds to realize just who I was, even though he had seen me in girlmode at the office H'ween party.

I was driving home late from seeing my friends in girlmode, and got stuck in a massive traffic jam. The guy in the car next to me gets out to check the traffic and stretch. In the process he saw me and gave me that look, and kept glancing my way for a while.

hi. recently quit a job that felt more like an abusive relationship. […] right and right again, i have had about an interview every two weeks for the last two months but to no avail- they all ghost. i use a feminine name and dont pass well due to my long hair and how i talk. i am starting to wonder if i am not hearing back from anyone (even the ones who promise a second interview, which has been three times now, have ghosted!) because i am clearly trans. would it be better to girlmode and come out later??
