Male social cues - take a look.

[Zabrak]

When you transition you'll notice a few things will change for you socially. Like how males and females will interact with you. I'll write down a few things I noticed right away.

If you're male, and another male is around he will let you know hes around. If you're passing by he will 'nod' to you. That or say "sup", "hey" and sometimes but rarely a "how're you?" Just answer back with somthing simple and short or nod. This is a good thing and shows you've really been accepted. Although, it doesn't always happen and don't always look at guys when they pass.

As for walking, walk with your legs far apart and not with them close together. Remember you have "stuff" between your legs and it wont feel good too often to walk with your legs close together.

Don't look down when you walk. Keep your chin up. Look tough.

Holding eye contact with males is ok for a short moment, but don't hold it too long because it can be thought of as sexual. Trust me I know...As for eye contact with females, always try to have them break it first. It lets them know you're not a push over.

Tiny social cues like this are important to note - although you don't have to follow them I rather follow them myself.

Great post Zabrak!

Just wanted to add something else. Sitting. Always remember that, like walking, you have something between your legs. Generally keep them apart, like you are trying to air your crotch out. If you cross your legs, fold them more than cross them. Place the joint of the ankle on top of the knee, bringing your shin 90 degrees (perpendicular) to your other shin. Overall, just spread out. It's about dominance of the space around you.

Hope that's helpful!

Thats a good point. I had to relearn how to sit as well.
