Does Anyone Cosplay?

hi darlings. okay, i'm a big comicbook nerd. and one thing i've alwas wanted to do is to go to a convention in cosplay.

cosplay is where fans dress up as characters from cartoons, comics, or videogame characters they like. i have a few characters i'd love to do and am sure i could pull them off very well.

i mean i know very well that comicons are a completely different terrain than a small costumed gathering or even pride fests and tat there is a risk of causng a scene more there than at more comfortable environments.

anyways just wondering if anyone here has done cosplay at comicons before and if they had any advice/horror stories or fond memories about it.

I cosplay as a character form an anime I like. It's pretty fun but I've only gotten to do it once =/ I've only been to one anime con and it was so fun :D My poor mom had to chaperone but she did make my outfit for me and it looked great. And of course I cosplay as a male character ;)

you know theres no reason to be scared to cosplay at concentions...im not sure if you heard but there is a guy who stood up for crossdressing rights on anime conventions...his code name is Man-Faye....he dressed as faye valintine from cowboy bebop and was kicked out of the con for his apperence and started to protest against it for equal cosplay rights.....he quickly became famouse due to his bold uprising to this....last year the cosplay management of conventions honored him and let him come back to the cons as man-faye and his other cross characters.....i for one am proud of his action...lemmy find a picture of him i hope laura aprove of pictures shown

a link will do....hes not trying to make himself look pretty he is just stating the fact that characters can be portrayed by either sex, ugly or beautifull, fat or skinny

I cosplay as well as crossplay. It's a very safe environment to crossdress in. Lots of crossplayers (not all) are actually transsexuals as well.

Hey,

I love cosplay. I know this cool site that you might want to check out. It is www.cosplaymagic.com. It has so many different costumes and they can even create costumes to order if you send them pics of the character. The only problem is that they don't do boots or metal. They do bootcovers and holsters and the like. I think that it is one of the coolest sites around for cosplay.

Hugs,

Kristal

I have found that anime is one of the greatest things around. I also think that it is a great chance for trans folks to be able to dress as themselves in another role. I have a few cosplay outfits but I find it fun to be whoever I want to be.

      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.

      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.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

      @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.
