Gender Issues

Postby ForHearts » Wed Sep 11, 2013 1:38 am

I have 3 male alters, 2 of which regularly come out and want to be treated as guys. One person, my ex-girlfriend and best friend, knows about them, and calls them by their names and treats them as such. However, both of them have issues with being in a female body, especially Michael. I've tried a couple of things to make them more comfortable; if we're co-conscious, I'll bind the body with sports bras, which doesn't really work too well, but the thought is there. I've lost so many pairs of earrings because Michael gets irritated that they're girly and rips them out. Sometime this week, I'm getting my hair cut shorter so that it'll please nearly everyone. We don't wear makeup when the guys are out. Are there any other things that I could do to make them more comfortable in a female body when they're out?

we have a deal me and the others that we do want we want and with things to do with the body tattoos etc. we have a meeting and talk about it
it is good that you want to make him happy but everyone needs to be happy not just him ok

I wear a "wolf haircut" which is short and choppy, so I can pass it as a punk pixie cut as a girl, and the boys are happy. I also wear tee shirts, jeans, sneakers, kind of a grunge rock look. The teenage male wears a leather and hemp tribal / surfer bracelet which is symbolic to him. It reminds him this is his body too. I also keep weights and strong resistance bands around so he can flex his muscles. He enjoys feeling his muscles get worked out.

Never compromise yourself, you're all you've got.
