All Activity

I'm a masculine woman. It's not about masculinity though. It's about expanding what it means to be a woman.

It never rains but it pours. We had a dry spring, but now my garden is a swamp and my yard is a pond. Get off the gravel road, and you'd need a hovercraft. With nothing better to do, I'm going on a short trip with my husband tomorrow. Since he's in management he usually doesn't do this sort of work, but whenever he does I usually go along. And he already knows not to try staying in a hotel, because I want to sleep in the bunk in the truck. So much more cozy. And for a couple of days, GF can actually take care of her own kids instead of leaving them to me....

I have played clarinet, but without talent. And while I *can* sing, I think listening to it would be an acquired taste.

Something that would help is reducing salt intake which causes the body to hold water and causes inflammation, another thing would be to add cardio to your exercise routine. Lowering your overall body fat will affect your face appearance. Hope this helps :)

Hi Sally, okay I'll head on over to your post and check out your makeup techniques.

Hey all, It's been a while, but I blogged a whole series on makeup. It's an eight-part series where I talk about my techniques. Here is the link to Part 1: Hopefully the blog series is helpful.

Oh, I can relate to that one Vicky, leaving lipstick in hot weather I've lost count how many times I had to purchase new purses.

Thanks for the replies, as an admin from my own group I understand the same rules, agreed.

Any links posted would have to meet this criteria All content posted or shared through TransPulse services must be appropriate for minors. We welcome members aged 13 to 18. As such, adult or pornographic content, nudity, underwear images, violence, gore, and other content not suitable for minors may not be posted anywhere to this service.

I do spoken word acting, and give Trans 101 talks and other public speaking. I wear make-up for those occasions. Sephora is easy for me to get to, and has a foundation that does a good job for me and the sales folks there are Trans Friendly. Their eye shadow pallets are also fun to use. Another source of my foundation is Ulta which carries Dermablend that does a consistent job of my lower face and chin. I just use good old Revlon lipsticks because I ruin them by leaving my purse in the hot car too often.

I'm not interested in makeup, jewelry or nice clothes or girly stuff. It's made me wonder at times. It saves some money. If I wore a skirt it would likely be denim. I thought about a woman's skirt suit but nah. Neither of my sisters are into that stuff either. One likes peasant chic (still a 60s flower girl) and the other - the only time she has ever worn a dress was at her wedding. Jeans at all other times. Jeans and t shirt here. Content being a girl. Weirdo. Weirda? Never mind.

Thanks, Mindy.

@Ladypcnj Before posting links to other group's websites, PM one of the Staff (preferably an Admin) and have them check that site out. We have specific rules here regarding age appropriateness and would need to know that the other site is in line with those rules. We do have members here between 13 and 18 and other sites need to be safe for that age range, legally and otherwise. Also, we are not a dating or pick-up site, not do we allow people selling things to advertise here. As I said clear the link with a moderator or admin before posting it. Mod's and admins do check out posts and if we find problem links we will remove them and notify the OP of a rules violation. Go to https://www.transgenderpulse.com/community-rules to understand where we are.

I raise my hand in the group, I have a question and a suggestion... is it allowed to share other new lgbtq+ website links here?

Yeah, ELF is a good brand, another brand is Revlon ColorStay last 24 hours.

Sir is good, as well as mister! I don't mind Mx. but my brain's first thought is a mixer.

giggles..sounds much more comfy I'm on 5 minute break outside n wondering if i can open my blouse..oops..maybe not ..laughs

I really don't think that's a good idea. The unity of the LGB and T community is historic and has been central for both groups rights. And the vast majority of people advocating for splitting the two are transphobic LGB's who are broadly condemned by the community anyway.

Congratulations, and best wishes as you move forward. Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

A bit late in updating, but I've had the draft of the official diagnosis and have (as yet unconfirmed) an endo consultation next month. Next to arrive will be the supporting documentation for my new passport application for my correct gender. This will then be my official ID for all the other updates - bank, tax, payroll etc. It just feels good to to be proactive again rather than waiting for other people to move at a leisurely pace.

I like ELF brand cosmetics, I can pick them up at JC Penny. I wear makeup everyday, but mostly just very light makeup.

Charlize, Mindy, and April Marie, thanks so much for the warm welcome!! I can already tell that I am going to feel at home here and I look forward to interacting and getting to know everyone!! 💗 Cynthia

Hello & welcome, @Ali_Genderlfuid! Look forward to learning more about you.

Hi Mae Be, whenever it comes to makeup, there are so many different bands to choose from. Picking out the right makeup comes with trial and error, until you find one that works for you and blends well with your skin tone, some makeup products can leave the skin feeling oily. It's a good idea to look at the labels on the makeup product to know what the creators put in the makeup, just in case skin allergies. Once you found the makeup brand, you can add it to your shopping list, good luck

Welcome to the forums, Cynthia!!! This is definitely the place to learn about oneself, to interact with others of like minds and to have fun doing it. You'll find many of us here in the 60+ crowd. Jump in where you feel comfortable!!!
