Passing Advice

25 September 2010 by kathleen.

At this year’s Southern Comport Conference, I attended a talk by Ann Grogan of Romantasy Corsets. Her talk was titled “How to Get Read in Ten Seconds Flat: Genetic Women’s Perspectives on Enhancing the MtF Image”.

The talk was excellent! I transitioned not quite three years ago, and I learned some critical secrets from her talk.  For me, the giveaway I most frequently perpetrated was eating like a man: a huge spoonful or forkful at a time.

Her advice was to eat no more than 1/3 of a forkful of food in a single bite, and to bring the fork to your mouth without bending over the plate and shoveling the food into your mouth. This is an incredibly easy technique to master once you pay attention to what you are doing.  Shoveling our food is second nature to most men, but is a behavior that is conditioned out of most women.

There are nine more tips on the CD-ROM version of her talk. That CD and two others are available on the the Romantasy Web Gender Image Topics page. If you have trouble passing — or think you do — please take a look at them.
