I just realized it's been about a year since I joined Laura's. In that time I have definitely made some progress. I look back at my posts and sometimes I seem like I was a broken record, so I'm sorry for babbling on and on about some things. I thank the people on Laura's for the hope and encouragement they have given me. Since last February my wife has become more supportive of me. In September I was able to dress completely in front of her for the first time. My youngest daughter (3) saw me and didn't care one way or the other. And just yesterday I was able to go out en femme for a long ride in the car with my wife for the first time. I decided that I'm going to try to work up courage and get my ears done at some point during 2011.

My wife hasn't called me by my femme name yet, but she does occasionally call me princess which I think is pretty cute!

Hey Sienna....Sounds like you are moving forward and it is great to hear how awesome you wife is. My two kids started seeing me present as a girl for around a year, maybe a year and a half. They were 6 and 4 at the time and neither one of them batted an eye either. All they wanted was my attention which I give them all the time.

My wife started calling me by my femme name right away. She mostly did it at first because she wanted to see how serious I was and if I would back down once it got real. HAHA

I also want to get my ears done but not sure how to go about that in regards to work.

Look forward to your next update.

Excellent Sienna ! your wife's acceptance really makes all the difference. My wife is mildly accepting, and my daughters just laugh, or sometimes give me snipes finding me dressed at home. However there is much love in our home.

Like yourself, I also plan on having my ears done this year. My wife and daughters are both recommending I go to tattoo / piercing shop and have the ear piercing done by someone experienced. They recommended I stay away from the gun piercing methods that may be used at some places.

Nice to hear your wife is accepting. Mine is also, so far. My GT thinks that she will be a great asset in my change an I agree.

Just go do your ears. I had my left pierced for years and then just went to the mall and bamm, two seconds the right was done. People ask and I just tell them I wants them both pierced.

No one cares

      masculine women

      By Thea · Posted

      I'm a masculine woman. It's not about masculinity though. It's about expanding what it means to be a woman.

      Good morning All. Coffees on.

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      It never rains but it pours.  We had a dry spring, but now my garden is a swamp and my yard is a pond.  Get off the gravel road, and you'd need a hovercraft.    With nothing better to do, I'm going on a short trip with my husband tomorrow.  Since he's in management he usually doesn't do this sort of work, but whenever he does I usually go along.  And he already knows not to try staying in a hotel, because I want to sleep in the bunk in the truck.  So much more cozy.    And for a couple of days, GF can actually take care of her own kids instead of leaving them to me....

      Been a while.... Do you sing or play an instrument?

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      I have played clarinet, but without talent.  And while I *can* sing, I think listening to it would be an acquired taste.

      Do you use make-up? If so, why and what types?

      Hi Sally, okay I'll head on over to your post and check out your makeup techniques.

      Hey all,   It's been a while, but I blogged a whole series on makeup.  It's an eight-part series where I talk about my techniques.   Here is the link to Part 1:       Hopefully the blog series is helpful.

      Oh, I can relate to that one Vicky, leaving lipstick in hot weather  I've lost count how many times I had to purchase new purses.

      Any links posted would have to meet this criteria  All content posted or shared through TransPulse services must be appropriate for minors. We welcome members aged 13 to 18. As such, adult or pornographic content, nudity, underwear images, violence, gore, and other content not suitable for minors may not be posted anywhere to this service.

      I do spoken word acting, and give Trans 101 talks and other public speaking.  I wear make-up for those occasions.  Sephora is easy for me to get to, and has a foundation that does a good job for me and the sales folks there are Trans Friendly.  Their eye shadow pallets are also fun to use. Another source of my foundation is Ulta which carries Dermablend that does a consistent job of my lower face and chin.   I just use good old Revlon lipsticks because I ruin them by leaving my purse in the hot car too often.

      Sort of a Lousy Introduction

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      I'm not interested in makeup, jewelry or nice clothes or girly stuff.  It's made me wonder at times.   It saves some money.  If I wore a skirt it would likely  be denim.  I thought about a woman's skirt suit but nah.   Neither of my sisters are into that stuff either.  One likes peasant chic (still a 60s flower girl)  and the other - the only time she has ever worn a dress was at her wedding.  Jeans at all other times.   Jeans and t shirt here.  Content being a girl.  Weirdo. Weirda? Never mind.

      Question

      By VickySGV · Posted

      @Ladypcnj Before posting links to other group's websites, PM one of the Staff (preferably an Admin) and have them check that site out.   We have specific rules here regarding age appropriateness and would need to know that the other site is in line with those rules.  We do have members here between 13 and 18 and other sites need to be safe for that age range, legally and otherwise.  Also, we are not a dating or pick-up site, not do we allow people selling things to advertise here.  As I said clear the link with a moderator or admin before posting it.  Mod's and admins do check out posts and if we find problem links we will remove them and notify the OP of a rules violation.  Go to https://www.transgenderpulse.com/community-rules to understand where we are.

      I raise my hand in the group, I have a question and a suggestion... is it allowed to share other new lgbtq+ website links here?
