What do you think of this hair style?

To be fair, I only think that works for around the house (for anyone, not just you).

I thought it looked cute. Around the house it's in back and up. :D

Cute casual style that you wear because you can and you like it!!! The down style is sexier.

Ok, wait, I'm not going for sexy. (I get to many old men hitting on me, yuck!) I'm going for work look. Should I try a regular pony tail?

EWWWWW, They touch me. Or they stare at my eyes. Or look at my boobs. UGH!

But, I'll take it all to be a woman. No question about that.

Thanks all of you, but seriously, which hair do? Should I try another? Pinned back with pony? Pinned back without pony?

I sometimes like to pull the hair above my ear line back and put it into a high ponytail, tucking the rest behind my ears, and pulling a little bit down beside my cheeks and twirling that little bit with my flatiron.

Down is super (and would be good for an evening out) but the pony tail in back says "work" to me. I see that a lot among women in the oil and gas industry. I'd imagine it's common with nurses too because it's practical.

I liked the side look. I do that sometimes. Rarely wear it down completely feels like i'm either hiding or coming on to the world.. I love the wisps at the ears. they sam to soften both your face and mine.

Hugs, You look great. Are the old men rich? Charlie

Late to this discussion - yikes.

Your hair and mine are about the same length and dark colored, but not black, no bangs. I think I have just a tad more waviness at the end. In the presentation of photos? I like all of them. I also like the comments and I agree, and I understand the work you do is best done in a casual mode.

Hair let down - for our hair stye and length, is ALWAYS the most flattering. But it humid, hot states (you know this) hair down can soon lead to overheating. I like to wear my hair down sometimes, but I get tired of it in my food or strands migrating into my mouth when drinking coffee. I tend, like you show, to part it in the middle (our Native American roots maybe).

But have you tried a side part? That gives a variety I think, something I am guessing you are looking for. I use those larger barrettes or clips when I do that side part - directly up in the middle of the upper ear tip, placing it high, both sides. The back hair then sweeps back over it but stays out of the face. And I think we discussed carrying extra pony ties so we can sweep back and pony in hot conditions. That works with the clips in too. It also looks great with the side part, I also flip it naturally over one shoulder - but I rarely pony it there. Side pony looks good on you - a sassy girl! But it is something your probably don't do every day

Another trick is to barrette it behind the ear both sides and up high, but that takes a mirror and a bit of patience.

The standard (ho-hum) pony can be done in other ways. Have you seen those giant clips that loop like a straightened set of clamps made of curved combs? I finally learned how to put them in so they stay. I gather my pony as usual, maybe a little higher, and twirl it into a tight but straight tail. I then open that clip wide and put it in OVER the entire upper tail and then let the tines anchor into the hair against the scalp. BUT I don't use a tie. It really is simple and can be reworked all day without looking in a mirror, but it holds very well, which surprised me,

Other tricks are to put the pony into a bun - and not worry if it sticks out everywhere, That takes some experimenting. I use a tie, set very high, then bobby pens, but the open kind Stick in a thousand hair pins if ya want, whatever it takes, the watch it scatter pins everywhere all day! So female!

And there are ways to braid, and to pull back strands, and to do things with ties and a pretty artificial flower. NICE

So my recommendation? Ask the girls around you when you try something new. Also, most girls will show you their tricks. Hair is perfect for girly-girly fun!

      I think this can be a big part of it. There are times when I just don't have the experience or expertise to respond.   Is there a specific post we've missed @Ladypcnj?  I remember that my intro post had less than 10 responses. Some of that has to do with timing, too.    I've also found that the more I posted to various threads the more responses I've received. But, I can tell you that there are times when almost no one responds to my posts. Don't take it personally. Keep posting where you feel comfortable and people will get to know you.   It really is a friendly and accepting place.

      Oh, the guilt can be overwhelming, can't it? It's kind of like the joke about the difference between Protestants and Catholics.   Protestants have sex without guilt.   Catholics have guilt without sex.   It seems as if guilt is just a natural by product of our gender identity confusion whether we have any awareness of it or not. We feel different and so we blame ourselves for not feeling as others say we should.   What a tremendously uplifting moment it is when we can finally shed that guilt. Bask in the relief, M.A.   And having the right therapist seems so crucial to me. I had, fortunately, a very quick and strong connection and trust in my therapist. She was a life saver for me. Literally.   Again, welcome to TGP!!

      For me, with my former therapist, it was almost more like a frog in a pot slowly coming to a boil - I don't think either of us realized the scope of what we were dealing with until fairly recently. And she helped me find my new practitioner, which was incredibly helpful too <3 It feels very strange and new - I've framed this, whatever this is, as 'being bad at being female' for literal decades, since puberty really, and the idea that maybe it's not my fault, that I've never done anything 'wrong,' is a little overwhelming.

      I had fun doing this a few weeks ago.  This is how I got rid of -money:     This music player code of mine is really working out nice.  My music collection is all mp3 files.  I put them on my server and then code things like that to play them and loop them.  And then I coded an app while I was in the mental hospital in 2009 that I use to transcribe my music with.  It's a Windows app and you can browse to an mp3 or use a URL to an mp3.  Once it is in the program, it looks like a normal music software timeline and there are sliders to slow it down and speed it up by octaves, semitones and cents, so you have complete control over what key the music is in.  And you can create loops in it and I added a feature a few years ago where it remembers all the settings so when you open it again, you still have the same loop set with the pitch settings.  I've been putting my favorite recordings in it lately, setting the funkiest loop I can find and then slow it down an octave or more.  Then I play drums to it and piano stuff, or pennywhistle.  I like playing drums on the floor.  Even though I got rid of money and well, I should have done that decades ago, I had a good time the other day hitting my bin of GO stones with my drumstick.   I don't know if I'll get flagged for self promotion here or not.  You know, I'm a musician and I'm just sharing ideas for how to listen to and enjoy learning to play music.  I'm not the only one who has made tools like this.  I'm really geeking out on my roommates drumset.  I learned to play in the 90's, but I haven't had a set since then.  I've been playing 5 gallon plastic water bottles as hand drums for 30 years.  They are relatively inexpensive and common and they sound great.  Very fun to play along to your favorite music.  And if you can slow the music down, it can make it easier to play to for some songs.  As advanced as I get as musician, I still enjoy just meditating on playing some simple pattern over and over.  Lately I've been playing an Emin7 chord going to an Fmaj7 chord on the piano.  It's all white keys.  You just play an E and then skip a key etc...  Every other key for 4 notes and then just move that all up one key for the Fmaj7 chord.  I just like the droning quality of it.

      During COVID lockdowns without any place to go, some neighborhood buddies and I would play Life for hours (imagine a bunch of middle aged men playing that game, it was a hoot - all sorts of 'house rules')... anyways, as much as I could get away with it, I would choose a pink peg to represent myself... sometimes even had a female name to go with it... this was before I even really pondered whether or not I was trans ...   I was very determined to do this ... so interesting to look back and see all the threads pointing me to where I am now, though it has come as such a surprise as well...   Easy

      Thank you all for the helpful responses... I realize some of HRT is for mental health -- like I said above I really am enjoying the ride so far in that regard!   Guess there is a part of me that wants to have my cake and eat it too. I want to have a nice feminine shape within reason for my age (fat distribution - you can kick in whenever you want!!). Yet, I am still not out to family, so I want it to be subtle enough as I go along that I can cover tracks when necessary ... Not the ideal situation but it is what it is ... maybe when family realizes that this is not making me into a monster, they will come around to some of it. I can hope, right?   More and more, I just want to look in the mirror and see a female body staring back at me ... I want female clothing that I put on to look like it fits me to a T... (and by T, I don't mean testosterone, lol)...    EasyE

      Good afternoon M.A.   Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums, I think you'll find that there are a lot of us who had their first therapist reconsidering our story and recommended us to gender or LGBTQIA specific therapist. I made my first therapist cry after asking me what was my worst experience or memory. She was not prepared for the can of worms I brought to the couch. My second therapist is a gem, she's my age and knows how to work with my thoughts.    My two kids were also involved in the arts programs in school one in theater, the other combined art and modern music.   Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Welcome.   This can be a good sounding board and a place to say things you otherwise could not. Be yourself. Find out what that is.   Abby

      I'm wearing a white t shirt and jeans.  The t-shirt is softer than a man's and slightly girly.  Feeling kinda pretty.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      That's very common in internet forums and it is hard not to take it personally sometimes.   You might post "bump" with a smiley face to bring it to the top of the stack, or you might use the @ feature if there are certain people you would really like to have comment on it, and say something like Dear Abby, I would really like your input on this.  Please take a minute and respond.  Thanks!!!
