Pierced Or Not?

Hi Sienna

I got mine pierced, two in each ear lobe. :D

Though it's hard not to wear my nice long dangly earrings out in public. :lol:

Just itching for the day I go public. ;)

Hi,

Was wondering how many of you had pierced ears or wear clip-ons?

Sienna

Honey....

I had my left ear pierced in 1972.......

I just got my right one done on New Year's Day 2009...

It was acceptable all of those years to have one pierced ear in "guy" mode...

Now that they are both done I still wear one while at work because I still have to present male there...

But, I change it back and forth...right to left on different days....no one notices!....LOL

HUGGS!

Pierced! Its so liberating! No one cares... I did mine myself 25 years or so ago. And you can wear either pierced OR clip-ons that way.

I have talked about it to a few of my friends but I am a major coward so I am waiting until we get together again and they are going to drag me in and hold me down or I will only have the one - if that.

Love ya,

Sally

Just the left ear at the moment. Been there since '86 - oh time flies!! Many guys around here have both pierced. So no worries of being outed. Want to double pierce both when done. Just in no great hurry on that. Many other things to worry about first.

Luv Kat :)

Very cool. I'm so jealous of you girls that do!!!

I would love to have my ears pierced -- neither are right now. I have a few obstacles... my wife still isn't sure. I think she's more worried about what her parents would think. My own parents would also definitely give me a hard time about it, but I could live with that. Maybe the biggest consideration for me is work. I'm in a director position at a corporate type company and manage a team of people. Some people may not care, but others may change their opinions. No other guys I work with have pierced ears either. Unfortunately, I've worked in corporate environments for many years and they seem to be more judgmental about appearance. I'm sad in a way because I'm not sure I'll ever be able to get mine pierced.

Hi Sienna (love that name :) )

I use clip ons. I have thought about piercing my ears, but I have never followed through.

Since there are so many lovely earrings available that are clip-ons.

I do not see the urgency.

As long as I can express myself the way I want to... I'm happy :)

Love

I know how you feel in a corporate environment. I worked for the state for many years, and although the dress code was 'reasonable,' everyone knew what that meant, DON"T overdo anything. So my hair was almost white sidewalls (military understand that) and never longer than 3/4" on top.

Now its in a pony tail! It's waaaay past shoulder length. Of course I retired - and everyone thinks its a mid-life crisis thing (yeah - I'm gonna live to age 122!)

But the kicker? I love my little silver hoop earrings - wear them everywhere except work (you cant live on a State pension)- AND my wife likes them! Goes with my ponytail look. People say I look like a rock singer! [bono I guess! DANG I was going for Cher.]

But my ears were pierced way before I even started working for the State. No one ever said a thing.

Honey - but you are practically full time. And very beautiful I might add.

I wear earrings at home and in male mode (subtle gold or silver loops). I just love the affirmation. I guess what we are telling the 'unpierced' is - NOBODY CARES anymore! Well - corporate America, maybe, but say you are in a mid-life crisi and it is cheaper than a mistress, sports car and a funny hat!

After lots of friends (the cool ones, of course) pierced their left ear in high school, a trend I missed, after starting to come to grips with who I am, I pierced my left ear at age 41, did it myself with ice, alcohol and a safety pin (ouch). I love it, wear my earring every day, dangly ones on the weekends when I can, and I currently use clips (at home, sometimes when driving about) on my right ear. I am currently fighting the urge to pierce my right ear, too, but I am still closeted, I work in a very conservative company, I'm at the peak of my career, and I can be myself at home for the time being, so for now, pierced left ear and clips on the right! Nothing makes me feel more girly than two earrings, and painted nails.

Stay sweet, Sienna! KM

Well, we all do what we must, when we must to satisfy our needs....

I was wearing only one pierced earring to work until last week...I accidentally wore them both in and didn't notice it until late...everyone must of seen it...

Well, the cats out of the bag and I started to wear BOTH to work now!

I love it!

HUGGS!

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
