A Shoe Victory

Hello, dear ones!

Excuse the name change, I thought it time to lose the modifier as most of y'all know me as Gin at this point.

So I've been dealing with the problem of big feet=very expensive shoes and I finally went on ebay to see what I could see. Well, I found a lot of size 13 womens shoes just waiting to be bid on. At first, I thought I was going to get a steal at a few dollars. But over the course of a couple of days, I fended off a number of other bidders and finally came away with two pairs of boots and four pairs of shoes for 43 dollars + shipping. Not too bad. Now we have to wait and see what actually fits. Should any pair not work out, I thought I would donate them to some other needy lady here at Laura's who might be in need of a large pair of shoes (or boots). I'll keep you posted.

luv

Gin

I bought about 20 pairs of shoes, seperate dealers, on ebay and except for 'Pleasers" brand they fit fine. If you see that brand - run! They are at least two sizes too small and too narrow and WONT take them back.

Also, a pair of slides were too big - so its not a bad deal. Blind buying has its dangers. But some of the shoes were very inexpensive!.

My size? 12 W or 13M - hint hint

I read your warning about Pleasers before, so I stayed away from those. These all look to be of a nice style and quality. I will definitely keep you in mind, my dear, should my feet prove too large for any of these ;)

Well my feet must be weird or perhaps I just got lucky. :D

But I bought a pair of Pleaser 5" platforms and they fit just fine. ;)

Though uncomfortable at first, once they got broken in they're comfortable now. :P

Figures though, the one time I could have used a man to break in a pair of shoes for me and no one was around. :lol:

Maybe next time. ;)

      I am an evangelical  I am also transgender.  This is an issue. I have read up on it.  I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading.   One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender.  Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself.  Which is, practically, impossible.  I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work.    In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own.  That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are,  in the words of a glorious hymn,   1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ.  We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him.    Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works.  That is strong but true.   Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it.  Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.

      Eventually, (especially if you start T,) things will even out. The excitement you feel is from everything being so new. Finally knowing yourself and having others recognise you can be thrilling. However, because it is your natural state of being, eventually that wears off. There's nothing exciting about it anymore because it's "just you." (Which is a perfect thing to be!) This, however, can lead to disappointment. Trust me when I say however, that that disappointment and jarring reaction to wrong pronouns will go away, and you'll once again feel comfortable in yourself.

      I love long hair. I'm wanting my hair to touch the floor. I guess we shall see how long it can get.

      I wear a wig most of the time.  But I can get by with my natural (shoulder length) hair if I wear a hat or something to cover the mostly empty top. Unfortunately that train has left the station, sigh.

      Normal is a word in the dictionary and a setting on washing machine.

      I mean, we're trying !  Just have to be a Southern Girl for now.

      Oddly enough, just this weekend I read some of my poetry at a local event.  In this case it was a Pride group so I didn't have a particular advantage.  But I have read in more inclusive (of cis people) situations, and been fairly well received.  Let's face it, cis people do deserve an equal chance.   I suppose this might be a problem in the future.
    • Ivy
      Of course we do.  The few friends I do have are almost exclusively cis or trans women. I think I could have a relationship with a man, but he would be kinda "other" to me.  Could be interesting though. I never have understood guys - even when I was trying to be one.
