How You Dress Vs. How You Want To Dress

I currently dress in a somewhat gothic and emo-ish way. I actually want to dress WAY gayer than I currently dress. I can't do that now because I won't be able to pass. However, once I've been on testosterone for a while and have had chest surgery, I'm gonna GAY IT THE HECK UP! Fishnet shirts, pink, long hair, sparkles, I'm gonna make Matthew Lush look butch! Still will look gothish, just more of a glam rock uber queer goth than a emoish goth. :) Who here is planning to change their fashion style after full transition?

Wow.

My life has been so pedestrian. And to think I used to be considered dressed gay!

You make me feel so old.

and jealous.

I did wear more dresses after transition, but that was really only a matter of degree. You sound like you are going to be presenting quite a bit differently, and that sounds exciting and cool - an adventure. I wish I was young again...

The teenaged girl in me loves to dress in the tightest, skinniest jeans!! Crop tops, and Daisy Dukes!! I am such a sl*t!!! LOL

I absolutely adore denim skirts, any length!! And really tight form-fitting tissue tee's. I have gotten into some fights with my girlfriends because I looked better than they did in some of their clothes!! lol

I don't plan on changing a thing after full transition. I love my wardrobe and wouldn't give up my black suede hip boots for anything!!

Love

I guess I could call the way I dress now as 'scene' if anything. I have this collection of striped/plaid/ and checkered pants in random colors. I have skate shoes and razored hair and all that. There's not much I would change.

But, after I'm passing, whatever it takes to get there, I'm gonna wear really tight shirts, eyeliner, and grow my hair out. :)

hmm. Right now I wear like shirts that say things..between medium large. I wear jeans, that I guess could be considered tight fit. Vans all day every day. Hoodies when they whether allows.

I would prefer to wear more of the same types of shirts but more inclinded to male stuff. Baggier jeans....I would still wear Vans....and I would love to start wearing fitted hats.

Basically I wanna wear a mix of skater/hip hop clothes.

Before I started my job... I had a 6" mohawk... bondage pants... spiked collars... combat boots...

Since then more of the "pretty boy" look...

I admit I miss my punk look... but as I am on my way to becoming me... I think I will stick with my argyle sweaters, suits & fedoras ^_^

Still got the combat boots going tho ;)

Grandmother buys my clothes. Grandmother picks out my clothes. Grandmother makes me try on my clothes. Grandmother calls me a very handsome little man. And this continues even after I tell them I'm not a man.

I mostly [am forced to] wear New Orleans Saints T-shirts which make people talk to me about football so that sucks. Dark colors attract heat and because we live in a desert, wearing black all the time makes me vomit. My PE teacher the last year I was in PE told Them NOT to make me wear dark colors. Atleast not dark shirts. This was three years ago. They obviously didn't listen. Once would think that They would listen after I threw up in the car.

I want to wear light colors. Mostly red and white. Occasionally dress like my Avatar when I'm feeling different.

The way I dress changes a lot. 0_o"...

One day I'll wear a tight fitting shirt and a skirt.

And the other I'll wear loose fitting anime tees with boys joe boxer shorts.

I wear men's clothes right now (jeans, shirts). I have a thing for suits with vests, ties, etc. But due to physical limitations (girly hips + breasts) I find that the pants and vests don't fit quite right. Pants are normally too long because my hips require me to get pants with a larger than normal for guys which results in longer leg length, vests don't fit because I can't button them all the way down since my hips get in the way. Such a pain. -_-

Oh well. Shouldn't be a problem for much longer, I'm hoping.

I dress in t-shirts and jeans almost all the time. However, I wish I dressed more formally. Vests, suits, nice pants, dress shirts are what I like but unfortunately they don't fit well due to chest and hips....

or cargo shorts. Those are nice (and have pockets!)

Before I started transition I was all like "OMG I'm going to be all dressy like Audrey Hepburn with big fancy dresses and skirts and heels and pantyhose and big sun hats and expensive sunglasses and long silky gloves and big chunky jewelry and it's going to be soooooooooo glamorous ahhh!"

Today I wore jeans, sneakers, and a purple sweater. Yeah...

I think that would be normal lovey . For years you dream of how you want to be but then you become who you really are and all that extra stuff don't matter . Because your heart is full and happy . Keep smiling and enjoy the jeans :)

Hmm usually I just dress in black skinny jeans and a baggy flannel shirt! After transition though...IM GOIN CRAZY! not really XD

I want to get tattoo sleeves, and some piercings, and wear nothing but black torn skinny jeans (i love em, what can I say!) and a butt ton of awesome shirts with neat prints on them. Im gonna cut my hair to be a death hawk and wear big stompy goth boots around! Also those coolio LED goggles would be neat! And lots of fuzzy hats. HATSSSSSSS.

I mostly go as I want to. According to my therapist "You have the right balance between dowdy and flamboyant. You are hard to recognise without scrutiny."

In short she's proffesionally blessed my ability to pass. She's gone as far as saying I remind her of her first TS patient some 25 years ago, the one that got her interested in broadening her practice into gender therapy.

I'm under the impression I have replied to this thread before I need to look that up when I'm not using my phone.

I definitely will dress differently as soon as I pass well enough to pull it off :) Kind of a metrosexual look with scarves, converse, and fitted clothing! Right now I'm just getting my first male hairstyle and learning to bind, so it's a while off.

How I dress now is very casual. Usually just jeans and a t-shirt with a hoodie if it's cold. When i gain more confidence I'm totally going to change it. I just don't know my true style yet.

I suppose the main difference between how I dress as a guy, compared to how I dress as a gal, is the way the clothes are cut. I am very much a jeans and T shirt person, weather dressed as a man or a woman.

I dress how I want to dress. Dressy doesn't work in this line of work (truck driving) so I dress casual, yet nice. Jeans and a tank top work well for me. Add some fancy sunglasses during the day to look fab and some pearl earrings for class and for me it's a great combination.

I fall in the casual style of dress I suppose, Once upon a time I used to do the Goth, style, Metalhead style, but at 35 years old, I dress age appropriate and pretty much whatever I like. I don't really care the "style" category anymore

      We need to learn to talk to each other again.  This place is important that way.   Abby
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Nationally, sure.  But where I live, there aren't two large segments.  There's a majority, and a few who just don't fit and probably ought to move out.  I was in a nearby city a few days back, and I saw a billboard for the "Freedom From Religion" foundation.  That's acceptable there.  Here... folks would be making a bonfire.    I don't really see how the different sides CAN get along.  I see what goes on in California, and its like watching news from some alien planet.  It has very little to do with LGBTQ+ issues, really.  I can't live their way, I won't live their way, and I have no desire to compromise at all in that direction.  I'd prefer to be neighbors in separate nations, and I think folks would get along better that way.  I firmly believe the anti-trans stuff wouldn't exist here if we had a new republic of the Center-South area.  Even a micro-state of just my county and a couple others would be fine.    I get the giggles when folks think that Trump is somehow "far right."  Around here, he's a barely-acceptable centrist.  And by the standards of 100 years ago, its true.

      I don't think the Dems have a corner on division.  I do try to kinda keep up with the antics on Fox for 5h1+s and giggles. We have two large segments of the population, living in their own bubbles, with completely opposite views of our society, who never talk to each other, only at each other. People don't even want to get along with each other. We're tearing ourselves apart from the inside, while the rest of the world just sits back and watches.

      Back again now it’s inevitable I must tell my wife for me to be happy and authentic wish me luck
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Trying to decide if I am one.  Hmmm.  It depends on the definition.  The Democrats' definition dehumanizes them, whatever they are.   I would like to see a restoration of respect for America around the world, one Obama threw away.  I would like to see factories reopen whose jobs went overseas because people like BIden wrote legislation to create a tax structure than encouraged that.  I would like to see an end to the division that Biden and Obama cause and exploit for cynical political purposes.  I would like people to be able to express themselves without fear.  I would like honest news media.  I would llike to see the federal government not push us recklessly into debt.   If that makes me MAGA, I guess I am.

      You've never encountered the Oklahoma State Troopers, then.... it isn't far from reality.  I swear they've got half an army of cops just sitting around.  On I-40, they've got big concrete pads where they sit in the middle of the highway, sometimes a row of 8 cars in one spot.  I guess they've got money to burn....

      Good to hear about that case, but I believe Oklahoma is in the 11th Circuit COA region along with Texas which is going to find some way to nullify this decision as far as the Oklahoma law goes, just because - - - -
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      That's a Circuit (Circus) court ruling.  Which is essentially temporary.  Most everything right now is temporary, as the Supreme Court hasn't gotten around to dealing with all the various trans-related issues from the last few years.  I really, really wish they would just bite the bullet and do their thing.  It would save us from the constant tug-of-war. "The sky is falling!".... "No it isn't.".... "But there's crap coming down."....."It landed east of here"  Whether it ends up being good or bad, I wish they'd just lance the boil and let us either have a tyranny we can fight against or a republic we don't mind living in.  Mediocrity is irritating.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I'm sure there are some...there's just about every kind of person imaginable in our society.  And I suspect that a number of actual GOP politicians aren't really haters...it just happens to be convenient to go along.  Like most Germans in the early 20th century weren't actually anti-Semitic.  It was just that it didn't matter to them.    While I'm not friends with any politicians (well, other than local ones), the majority of folks around me aren't anti-trans.  And one of my two trans friends is a Trump supporter, with hat and all.  My other friend is a Democrat, and the three of us actually get along even when we talk politics.  Life is interesting.

      This suggests some of the problematic policies would be unenforceable if implementation were attempted.    https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/4th-circuit-gender-identity-is-a?publication_id=994764&post_id=144139815&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true

      You can believe what you want.  But there are such.  That should not scare you.  I wonder why it does.
    • Davie
      I don't believe it. I've never heard of such a thing. That would scare me.
    • Davie
      Yay for this . . . it overrides state laws. 4th Circuit Court says: Gender Identity Is A Protected Characteristic, Blocks State Coverage Bans. In a landmark ruling, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that gender identity is a protected characteristic, and that Medicaid bans on treatments for gender dysphoria are unconstitutional. https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/4th-circuit-gender-identity-is-a?publication_id=994764&post_id=144139815&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true

      I would challenge him next time about where is being transgender a fatal sin. The only thing he has about giving into fleshy desires. Another thing you can hit at does the Bible cover intersex people? Bible to me stands for Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. You could also challenge him as to how many times has the Bible been edited.  You could challenge him on what music, movies, podcasts and tv shows and how they give glory to God. I challenged my mom, and she had nothing to say other than I know I'm right being defensive.
