How to pass as a woman

Well having read through that lot I couldn't pass as a woman or a man, so goodness knows where that leaves me!

Then she thought, "Nah, tee hee, better flick my hair and put on some clean stockings."

One article at a time.

They all need to be challenged.

Oh and yes I do agree it's a load of twaddle but it's just one article written by some numpty.

How do I type like a woman on the internet?

WTF?

Reading that article just makes me sad.

They are trying so hard to try and pass as what there idea of a woman is.

I'm not sure what this feeling they all have inside that makes them think they are somehow in the wrong body and how acting in the way is described in the article is meant to help with those feelings.

If they want to wear a dress or makeup they should just be able to so this ad a man without having to try and 'pass' as a stereotype of what they think a woman is.

Of course many people adopt masculine and feminine traits.
What has that got to do with being a man or a woman?
Nothing.

They are responding to the gendered world they were brought up in, same as non-tans people do. I don’t think the article says these things actually makes you a woman.

Ada Lovelace thought, "I could be an outstanding mathematician, be the first to realise certain theoretical applications of the computer, write the world's first computer program-- all before dying of uterine cancer of 36."

Then she thought, "Nah, tee hee, better flick my hair and put on some clean stockings."

Oh no, dh is learning to touch type. Should I be worried?

Although I got mistaken for a man from behind the other day despite long hair much to the embarrassment of the shop assistant when I turned around 😆😆 so maybe dh and I could just swap 🤷‍♀️

Note to self - must remember to sort out a white flower for my hair next time I've got a white top on.............

My family will absolutely confirm that the adult female in this house indeed does get very shouty and assertive........

But for anyone asking what's wrong with it, it's all about stererotypes (which bear very little reality to the vast, vast majority of my female friends and colleagues) and then men telling women not to be nasty if we dare to point how how ridiculous it is.

If the article gives a guide to anything, it's about how to be a girly 1950s stereotype.

Reminded me of that song ‘Wives & Lovers’ that goes:
‘Hey! Little Girl
Comb your hair, fix your makeup
Soon he will open the door
Don't think because there's a ring on your finger
You needn't try anymore’

@PleasantBirthday of course! How silly of me 😏

If a set of instructions is required in order to pass as a woman, how to behave, having empathy, using hand gestures, then it weakens the argument of being born in the wrong body. Because surely a real woman would just know how to be a real woman. And a real man would know how to be a real man. They wouldn't need a set of instructions. So a woman born in a man's body would already know how to behave as a woman surely.

What's wrong with it? It's a list of outdated and sexist stereotypes is what's wrong with it.

Yep a complete load of old bollocks.

Being a woman sounds like really hard work.

Whoops…I’m not a woman. Didn’t shower this morning, no shaving because it’s Autumn. Hair not styled. Must be a man then.

Unless they manage to miraculously convert their male pheromones to female ones, it ain't happening. So much of how we relate to others is in our biology.

They get acceptable body language and personal space all wrong in a way that is creepy, intimidating and down right scary.

To the extent that some photos of this become almost memes.

I've got two X chromosomes... does that count?

Stockings? Loofah? I'm obviously woman-ing wrong.

The questions at the end advising minors! Ffs this is beyond ridiculous. Why on earth anyone thinks this makes you a woman is beyond me.

I love this in the Q&A.....
"If I'm already a woman, could I use these tips to become more ladylike?

Yes, but you could also explore WikiHow for more articles that could be helpful to you. For example, you might enjoy this one: How to Become More Feminine."

Whilst you have your Hat of Empathy on try using it for the women of this thread who find the whole idea of their innate sexuality being nothing other than a set of stage directions!

You can't have empathy for women, you get empathy from women. You don't even need to write that one down.
