So, i went out as Melanie today, really for the first time. Granted it was to my therapist, but i did it! I walked by two ladies outside the building, i'm not sure they ever saw me lol and the patient before me was this big burly guy who actually smiled and said hi to me, i smiled and said hello (in the best girly voice i didn't know i had) LMAO Just kinda came out that way. My therapist told me pink was a good color for me, and thought i looked very cute, i smiled and blushed, and OMG giggle LMAO

anyway, here's me today... BAAAAAAADDD!!! hair day, it's rainy and my hair frizzes bad when the weather is like it is.

do NOT look directly at the photo, and if you do squint really hard, i actually kinda look like a girl that way.

Look like a girl - I don't have to squint - I would think you were my sister's roommate from graduate school but you are way too young - you look just like she did then!

And I hope you wore pants or a skirt or something besides just the top - if not that would explain the smile from the guy that passed by you!

you are looking great!

Love ya,

Sally

Melanie, you look GREAT, honey! Wow, I'm so proud of you. I'm smiling ear to ear right now.

I agree with Donna Jean, your hair looks fantastic - I would kill for hair like that (yup, scalp 'em and take it).

Makeup too, just the right amount and a nice color of lipstick. Perfect!

You had better be careful hon. You go out with a skirt or dress, and the guys are gonna do more than

just smile. They'll be following you around like puppy dogs.

Doing great, hon. Gratz!

Sweetie :)

Congratulations!!! Going out in public is really scary (especially the first time). Each time you do go out, it gets easier as you build up more confidence :)

You are lovely hon.

No worries!!

HUGS

Melanie sweety,

How well i remember my first true outing as Paula, it also was to my therapists office, i was sure everyone was looking and staring but guess what, nobody was, you pass very well and got a smile and a hello, how cool is that.

To get more comfortable i starred going to the grocery store every weekend, then it progressed till i went everywhere as Paula.. baby steps, that is what i did.

Of course you get ma'am'd all the time, you are a woman now... enjoy it, if there is a guy in that picture i sure can not see him.

HUGS!!!

Paula

      Las Vegas Trans Woman, 18, Killed By "Friend"

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      Accidents happen.  So do heat-of-the-moment murders, without premeditation or trans-related hate.  It will take a trial to really figure it out.     One thing we can see from this is that it is people in our circles of acquaintances, friends, and partners who are the ones who usually hurt us.  Not someone random. We have to be careful who we trust.

      IDAHOBIT

      By Mirrabooka · Posted

      Friday May 17th is IDAHOBIT (International Day Against HOmophobia, BIphobia and Transphobia).   Do you acknowledge or celebrate it? Do you do anything special for it, like taking part in any organized events or activities?   I'm not an activist and I prefer to fly under the radar, but I am slowly becoming aware of important dates. I have been aware of the date of IDAHOBIT for a few weeks now, but other important 'rainbow' dates have not been etched into my brain yet.    I will wear my favorite pride t-shirt as a token acknowledgement of the day, but it probably won't be seen; cool weather here will mean that it will be hidden under a sweater.

      What is happiness for you?

      By Mirrabooka · Posted

      Happiness for me comes from being cognizant of the things that make me feel good.   Sunshine.   Pandering to my inner woman.   Knowing that some people in my life really 'know' me.   Vacations, and Eggs Benedict at an alfresco cafe.   My wife and I being telepathic.   Grandchildren.   Music.   Wine!

      True.  Every trans death is not a hate crime. There is so much hate expressed by some people, that we kinda get to expect it.

      happiness to me is being ME. At all times, and it has yet to happen.

      hi there - introducing giz !!

      By Vidanjali · Posted

      Hello & welcome, giz! Your post makes me remember how excited I was to join here too. I also had queer friends at the time I joined, but any of my trans friends lived a long distance away. So most local queer friends are gay & I felt uncomfortable coming out to them bc I couldn't assume they'd understand genderqueerness. So it was a thrill to join here and immediately have access to do many wonderful, genuine, kind & thoughtful friends-to-be.   Are you saying you're concerned that if you come out to your queer friends that somehow your parents will find out?     My love, I just want to affirm that that's not a weird dysphoria. It's just dysphoria. And we definitely get it. You're in good company here!     Look forward to seeing you around here & getting to know you. I shoot for androgynous appearance as well, leaning towards masculine.   Hope you're having a splendid day!

      Listening to a YouTube mix for me and this song came up and I immediately fell in love again and just want to play music with like minded musicians playing OUR music and feel the joy and fulfillment even if no one else gets it. I love to fall into the music....

      Funny.....   The day-centre transportation director told me yesterday morning that I was to receive an award, my picture on the website, etc... for having won the billiards tournament (I knew better).   Later that afternoon he returns to "shake my hand" and tell me, "thanks for participating."   I could have told him that was all I would receive earlier. I'm not well liked by management.
