The new catalogs are already showcasing their fall fashions.

One of my favorite types of clothing is sweaters. Gosh, I love them. :D

My favorites are turtle necks and cowl necks, and sweater sets too.

How about you?

I've always loved turtlenecks, but never had a sweater. However, I noticed a year or so ago, I had a sudden interest in them. Maybe this years, the year.

I hate the cold! Let me say that again, I really hate the cold but when it does get below 70 here I do love sweaters. This year will be different because I will be able to pick out some girl sweaters to wear all the time.

The only good thing about fall and winter is that you can wear womens clothes easier without anyone noticing.

Just one more way boys and girls are different. It sure doesn't mean shrinkage.

Last year I wore silk turtlenecks with my suits, and got nice comments on my new style. :rolleyes:

IDK about this year - my girls might be inclined to do the peekaboo thingy. That would be interesting. :P

Well, this year it will just be a single turtleneck top that evaded my last purge, and a couple of Carhartt Hoodies. But that is OK, one never knows when something might show up.

Around here, 80 degrees is considered hot, zero is getting a bit nippy.

Now that I have moved from the frigid north-70 below zero wind chills are NOT fun-I look forward to fall and winter with warm soft sweaters. I've loved plain soft sweaters all my life.

And fur. Good thing my nutria bomber jacket is a man's jacket. I'll wear it with even more pleasure now.

By the way for any anti-fur people-nutria is a long haired giant rat and a ferocious, destructive pest. But they do have beautiful fur.:D

FALL

YEAAAAA

Only three months away! We get our winter after Christmas Day.

But it is geTting cooler here! We have had four days of rain influenced by storms in the Gulf - hurricane rains we call them, gentle droplets at 20 MPH - but it's cooler, all week at under 90 degrees, 76 to 78 at night - so I slept under my blanket (not what you think - the AC is more efficient when it is under 95 outside and it can be nice at night with the AC actually working)

BUT

YES! Sweaters! And dresses to mid calf - scarfs - real dresses that cover our shoulders - and even coming soon, pantyhose and tights! We can get out the heels and put away the open sandals - and - best of all - we can wear full makeup and wear our hair down - no more 'dewey' episodes!

[And as JJ says - watch the headlights in the cooler weather!]

YEAAAA

Sweaters, oh do they bring back memories of growing up. My mother made me (yes, knitted or whatever) a medium dark brown mohair sweater. Actually, I personally, deep down, thought it was wonderful looking. Problem was, I could not possibly wear it at age 13-16. When you're terribly unsure of your presenting gender (in this case, male) and so badly want to be accepted and are trying desperately to put those weird thoughts out of your head, the last thing you need at that moment is a fairly feminine looking sweater - soft and fuzzy and so warm looking. Probably would have had positive comments from the girls, but the guys? Ha! And I wish I had it now.

Another type of sweater I have always liked is boatneck style. Try finding those, these days! With what's available I happen to prefer V-neck or crew. I'll take a cardigan only if it looks 'today!' not reminds people of my grandfather's LaSalle. ;)

Simple - lure Nutria in the traps with artificial sugar - Nutria-sweet.

GRIN

Living in prime NUTRIA country - the answer is really simple. The local Cajun population traps and skins them, selling the fur. I don't wanna know what they do with the meat - I avoid the Cajun Country Restaurants that have specials on HOT SAUSAGE POORBOYS during hunting season!

Nutria look like a beaver except their tail looks like a rat tail. They were brought in originally from South America because they eat water hyacinth - a waterway clogging plant, and that plant was originally introduced from the Orient to prevent erosion of dirt banked levees. And the Nutria build their dens by boring into in the dirt bank levees and weakening them. The solution? Put an alligator or two in the water where Nutria habitate. Later trap the alligator (with the proper Federal permits) and skin them for alligator belts, purses, boots and women's dress heels. Alligator meat tastes like dark chicken meat and is really good with a sauce picante. Picante hunting season is fairly long so it's a good situation. Picante fur is not really that high of a quality, though, so there are some drawbacks in this bio-system.

Hope this clears up the mystery!

DANG - you wanted to KNOW how they capture the Nutria!

And have you ever tried to trap Angora? Crafty little creatures with pink fur ('though sometimes they are found in white) that hide under rocks until the cool weather arrives. Like the double humped camels they are easily identifed by their bumps (although usually from a 90 degree turned viewpoint)

They can often be seen in domestic conditions associated with embroidered poodles and socks named 'Bobby."

I hope this helps

Just like my coat-only mine has a tiny bit longer fur-nutria looks a lot like natural mink

A nutria in the wild-and BTW they are aggressive and will sometimes attack on sight.

Sorry about the confusion-but I do love the coat! And boots. And single color soft cashmere sweaters. And cool weather -with a fire in the fireplace. And the lawn all bedded down for the winter. And the winter birds back at the feeder. I LOVE fall!

      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US.

      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending.

      Hey girl  I had a problem like you happen to me also. In my first year of estrogen I had a period where my level were good then they got really bad where my testosterone spike high.  I felt like you with all that disforia coming hard. Our bodies need time to adjust. The process is a real pain in the beginning. It levels out eventually and you don't even think about it. Hang in there hugs

      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.

      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.

      It’s never been about him, but he is the Presidential nominee for the Presidency that starts in…2025. I don’t see a lot of conflation that this is a “Trump doctrine”, it a doctrine that benefits him surely, but it is a plan to instill crony governance and enact very Christian conservative (if not purely Christian nationalist) “order” on the country. If you don’t see this as the Right doubling down on Big G government, I don’t know what to tell them. Getting rid of agencies and giving the authority directly to the Executive isn’t shrinking government. It’s consolidation power. 
    • MaeBe
      It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same.   In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”.  So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”.  Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
