What are "Snake Bytes"?

Metal spikes in your lips that make you look like you have fangs.

Something to keep from ever getting a decent job or being thought of as a productive citizen.

Dentist's love 'em for the extra work they create due to chipped and cracked teeth. Needless to say the dental insurance companies who pay up to $5K or double or triple that for the crowns or bridges needed are less than enthusiastic. But if we can't be young and foolish when we are young, when can we be young and foolish?

I am entitled to my opinion. As are you. I somehow made it past the teen years without marking my body to badly, and now that I am old and not so wise, I can tell you forthright that if you walk into my establishment looking for a job and have them in your face, you do not even need to bother filling out an application, you aren't getting hired. The hospital I work for will NOT let you come to work with them in. Show up with them in and you have 2 choices, take them out, or go home.

Sorry yougin'. troof is troof.

What we do to our appearance sends a message. When we decide to step outside the norm -as is our right-then we have to be prepared to face both judgment and consequences. When it is something we have no choice about-like transitioning-it is just a part of the process and we have no choice. When it is piercing or tats or other voluntary alterations or aberrations then I don't think we can complain about the forseeable consequences.

In other words-do it if you want but take the consequences without complaint because it IS your choice. Part of being adult enough to alter your appearance is being adult enough to accept the consequences of your behavior.

Not saying that you should or shouldn't. Only you can decide that. I would say with any piercing of the mouth or nose please be sure and research the possible medical complications as well as considering the societal ones. They are formidable if any infection develops and can involve the brain

Im having all my bottom teeth taken out as theyre loose due to having a large overbite all my life and having implants - which im dreading, the thought of anyone deliberately having "snake bites" as described, makes me shudder. However, facial piercings seem to be quite popular with young people. I have a pierced ear, but dont often wear an ear ring as I feel it makes me look a bit of a "sado" as an older guy but now and then wear a diamond in it, if im at a party.

I think the kind of thing mentioned is about making a statement and its not one I'd want to make, but hey ho - all about preferences.

A Snake bite in England is a glass of beer and cider mixed, which sounds equally as abhorent to me, yuk!

I would never get them because I have spent a lifetime trying not to stand out from the crowd as much as I do already.

As a 6'3" transwomen in her 60s I am stand out in a crowd without any other alterations.

Love ya,

Sally

You guys do realize that you can take piercings out before you go to work right? I have a brow piercing and it hasn't caused any problems... because I take it out before I go to work. Same thing with tattoos... just get them in a place you can cover them up. I plan to get a partial sleeve done eventually but not far enough down that it cant be covered by a long sleeve shirt.

I have my lip pierced on one side only and I make more then most people my age. It really depends on the company, places are becoming more tolerant then they used to back in the day. Obviously outward appearances can leave some impressions as that is one of the ways most people judge other individuals. Even so like Jodie said you can always take it out for part of the day. Even plastic peices can be used to keep the peircing from shrinking and be some what invisible.

      Monthly Site Expenses (Updated May 2024)

      By Petra Jane · Posted

      Having taken on the site, forums, and all of the bills, from Dev (May 2020) and because I also want to be fully transparent about the cost of running the site, I feel it's time to update this information. Sorry that it has taken me two years since I last gave an update, just life getting in the way.   If you'd like to donate, please do so via the green bar at the top of the forum pages.  The months of July through October are pretty heavy with annual and semi-annual expenses and every little bit helps.   Here's the breakdown as it stands now:   Chat is now free. (Stu now runs the Chat)   Regular Charges: There are occasional one off's as well. Forums:  $70.00 every six months (February and August, effectively billed in January and July). (Was $45 until 2022, support ticket system depreciated!) Resource Locator:  $53.00 yearly, this "widget" failed this year, so I have been able to find a (currently) free replacement. Resource Locator Mapping: Google maps, currently under the minimum monthly usage, so free. Email Delivery: $5.00 monthly currently free, changed to a service that offers a much larger monthly allowance. Server Rental:  $30.00 monthly. Greatfully sponsored by The Breast Form Store. Security Software:  Now included in the package we have. Domain Renewals: Approx $75 annual charges for Transgenderpulse.com, Lauras-playground.com and the server domain. Contact Us Form Software: $79 yearly (August).   Total Monthly Breakdown: $54.50 per month.  (Annual bills = $654) Updated May 2024 (Slightly down on previous years).   Now then.  I'm on a fixed income, which means I know what it's like not having a penny to spare.  If you're not in a position to donate, please don't feel guilty; I didn't take over here to turn a profit.  The lights will stay on.  Donations are very much appreciated, but they are not a requirement of membership.   An update to clarify a couple of points: Because you have to use your legal name with PayPal, emails confirming your donation from PayPal will be from a name with the initials "DS", not Petra Jane and the email used is tgp (at) uk-web***   Unfortunately, we can only accept payment through PayPal, and please ensure that you have permission to make any donation through a PayPal account, we have been stung by someone alledgedly using a PayPal account without the owner's permission and incurred an additional $20 chargeback to refund the donation!   We have recently seen a number of these of late so I am asking that genuine donators please add your forum username in the comment box so that I, and I alone, will know who has sent the donation and that it is genuine. Thank you. Also, this appears only to Members who are logged in on the forums, New Members need to have made a minimum of 10 posts.   Let me reassure you: Donations help towards ongoing costs related to keeping the site running, including hosting, bandwidth, etc. It also encourages us to commit regular updates, add features, and improve the service. Our promise to you is that this site and its use will always remain free of charge.     Petra Jane

      What are you wearing today?

      By April Marie · Posted

      This is the dress I'll be wearing this evening while we watch the Kentucky Derby. Not sure if I'll throw on heels or flats with it - probably flats but I haven't worn heels in a while and the Force is strong.

      Good morning All. Coffees on.

      By April Marie · Posted

      Good morning, everyone!! I'm already on my 3rd cup of coffee and it's just 5AM. I can't imagine why no one else is here posting already!!??    It's supposed to be a cool day here with rain in the afternoon so no lounging outside for me. Our pool was opened yesterday so I'll make sure we have what we need to get it cleaned up and ready. The water temp is only about 60 right now so after I get the algae knocked down and the salt level right to begin making chlorine, I'll turn on the heater to warm it up. Probably a week before we'll be swimming.   Today is Kentucky Derby day so we'll put on dresses, hats and have a Mint Julep while we watch on TV.    Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      Reasonable expectations when starting HRT in your 50s

      By MirandaB · Posted

      I feel like it took a while to land in the 'middle zone', but it did happen. But obviously all those decades of testosterone poisoining take their toll, the middle zone is still preferable to the old life.

      Reasonable expectations when starting HRT in your 50s

      By Susan R · Posted

      Everything that @MaybeRob said above is spot on with me too. The changes are much more subtle the older you start. I started HRT at 56 and of the feminine physical changes I experienced from HRT, 80% of all my changes happened by my 3 year mark. The other 20% of the changes are continuing still.   The feminine results I still see change happening in include: reduced and thinning arm, leg, and body hair, body fat redistribution to my hips and butt. There may be still some minor facial fat redistribution but at this point it’s getting harder to tell. The facial fat redistribution started after year 1. Also, I’m still on Progesterone which was added into my HRT regimen after year 1. I believe that is responsible for increasing the size and darkening the color of my nipples to a much more feminine look. I was happy about those changes because my BA procedure alone did nothing to improve that aspect of my breasts. I will be getting off Progesterone at the end of this year now that it has done its job. I will be 6 years on HRT this September. I’m guessing I may have a year or two left before all the expected changes will have occurred.   Hope that helps a little, Susan R🌷
