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,

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!

      Yes, my programmer friends and I think that antivirus software is a virus.  It's constantly searching your system and slowing it down.  If you install your own OS and software on your machine, and you make backups of your personal files, then you can recover from viruses in an hour or two.  My computer is 10+ years old and is working as good as the first day I had it.   As long as my computer is doing what I want it to do, I don't care if someone is spying on my system.

      If you get a ticket, always say not guilty and go to court. Much of the time, the officer will not show up, and often the district attorney or the judge will not want to take the time. They ticket harvest because most people just agree to the fine and send them a check by mail.   If you are not a commercial driver, Most states also have a ticket forgiveness program. You take a little easy Driver's Ed Course, and it doesn't go on your record or increase your insurance prices. Explore your options!

      Shaving my legs (very early on) was the first BIG STEP in my self-affirmation.  It also felt Real and Natural ... Finally (after all my years with fairly hairy legs). My wife was shocked but I think she thought it was 'OK' as long as didn't go any farther ... well that wasn't going to happen.  It was actually Step 1 of many to follow.  I did feel the need to hide it from others but eventually didn't care.  And, men shaving their legs is much more common these days. Home IPL (laser) made the hair removal permanent over the course of a year or so.  Whatever was leftover has been reduced to peach-fuzz by HRT. I don't deny or reject all my years living in the realm of cis-males ... it was part of my Journey to get to where I am today.  But since committing to HRT and living in an environment and community that supports my transition, I find it difficult to go back into Boy-mode.  The times that I do have to do that ... I can feel the dysphoria rising up again.  No going back ... at this point.

      Congratulations @EasyE on your continued progress! I think it was about 6 - 8 weeks for me that I truly started to notice (and feel!) the changes.  They were not enormous (no pun intended) but I could notice my breasts were starting to plump up and my hips also.    fyi - I talked to my Provider a couple of days ago and based on recent labs agreed that I could start progesterone.  I did a LOT of research and after expressing any concerns with my Provider we both felt confident in starting.  I have been almost a full year of estradiol and I think my breast and other body changes have started to settle down.  Hoping the 'P' will give them another jump start. Thank you for sharing your progress.  I think you're going to be Happy with with the next couple of months brings

      I have this one particular antivirus with the VPN, I thought I paid for everything to be activated, but it turns out to be I have basic protection and they want more money from me to turn it on. I wished the store salesperson told me this soon, I would have brought something else that has everything in it, not half protection missing lol

      Hi @Mealaini - nice to meet you and Welcome! You have an important story and experience to share so I am happy you are open and willing to do that.  Also, I want you to know that this Forum was a very important part of my own Self-Acceptance and helped me navigate both my Progress and the Coming Out process to my wife, kids, and other family/friends.   It's not an easy Journey - sometimes it can seem slow and painful - but for most of us here, it's one that is essential to our Well Being.  I hope you have a similar experience as myself as you connect with others on this Forum and gain the benefit our each individual Experience and our Shared Humanity. Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      It seems to me that antivirus software often acts like a virus.  McAfee is really tough to get rid of.  I got a laptop a few years ago that had it pre-installed.  Didn't want it, and the process to cut out every last piece of it took a long time.    As for VPNs, check out Ultrasurf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasurf   It may not be the best, but it is free and seems to bypass many government restrictions.  Its one of the few tools in GF's toolbox that I actually understand how to use.  As in...click the button!

      Hi Thea, I can relate to that, to this day I find video games that has female role characters in them, the ones that takes leadership.

      Divorce sux.  My husband has an ex-wife somewhere...far, far away.  I guess she turned into somebody completely different right after the marriage, and she divorced him after a couple of years.    My partner (his "Wife #1) married him pretty soon after that divorce, and I guess he kind of missed her back then, but that fades with time.  I wonder... is it harder to stay in contact after divorce, or harder to cut off all contact completely?    I was very clear with my GF when we got together years ago.... to choose me is to keep me forever, as a breakup (and heartbreak) would probably be fatal.  I told my husband and other partners the same thing.  Once I've made my nest, don't push me out of it.  I will curl up in a corner and make myself very heavy and hard to grab   Even GF has never said she wanted to get rid of me, although she gets frustrated with me sometimes.  I'm pretty sure I'm safe here.

      Odd that this topic showed up today. With the warmer weather approaching, I decided to do something about my legs. When I was in my twenties, my legs were quite hairy, but have become less hirsute as I age. I decided to mow the hair with my manscaping device to make eventual shaving less messy. This made me realize that due to a lack of limberness and practice, shaving might be a major undertaking, so today I applied depilatory from mid-thighs to my ankles (no hair on feet, fortunately). The odor wasn't as unpleasant as I expected (didn't use a common store brand*), and the results were gratifying. I'll try it on my chest next.   *I'm not sure whether mentioning product names is allowed – think of a musical by Lerner and Loewe.

      Hi all, Thanks for the warm welcome.     Yeah... The UK flag is a mistake.  I didn't notice it until I came on here today. I'm from Illinois, in the U.S.  I can't seem to find the way to change it in my profile.  Moderators?  Any ideas?     I met with my therapist today.  She thinks that this will be a good place to get started, and I am hoping I can find some support and offer support.     I'll be checking in from time to time :)

      It has been about six weeks since I started the HRT journey. Today I officially "upgraded" to a new level of patch. I can't believe how giddy I was when A) the doc responded so quickly to my request for a new prescription, as I thought as I was going to have to wait a few weeks for my current one to run out; B) the pharmacy filled my new prescription so quickly -- in like an hour from when the doc emailed; and C) when I got home and put the new patch in place as quickly as possible...   Six weeks in and I would say it is subtle changes at best. But there are changes. They are just hard to describe... Sometimes I get these little rushes of emotion or mini-euphorias. Is that the hormones? I am emotional anyways, anger included ... I've noticed very subtle changes in my chest, like are my areola getting bigger? Or is it just my imagination? Are things getting smaller downstairs? Again, or just my imagination? I feel ... different ... yes a little more feminine...   I think it has surprised me how much I actually want a female chest. I keep checking it out all the time. That is brand new! But it's like I look down, notice what appear to be some changes and I say to myself, "This is going on with my body, and I like this! A lot!" Nothing ceases to amaze me anymore. I am such a mess, lol...    I feel like this patch upgrade is going to bring about more noticeable changes. Like I am really in the game now. Like the first part was just a warm up. Maybe not. But that's what it feels like.   So far, no problems with the patch itself (aside for forgetting a couple of times to take the old patch off when I put the new on one. I went a whole day once with a double-patch). Internally I think I am so ready for the next step... Externally, I feel like I am continuing to poke a hornet's nest, a den of scorpions and a mama bear all at the same time.
