Called Me Sweetie


Guest mia 1

Recommended Posts

Went to Goodwill today, bought a couple of bras. Felt really good about myself. Was joking in line and not hiding my merchandise,as I used to do. The checkout lady checked off the bras and charged me the regular price. I looked her in the eye and smiled, said something pleasant and she aaid have a nice day sweeti.

I thought that was so nice it made me warm inside and felt accepted.

This is a first time expewrience for me. Usually hide my clothes in some dumb man's shirt, and look at the ground.

I am growing and so happy about that. Mia is coming out, and is showing her self to the world.

I wasn't crossong at the time I was shopping. You probably have figured that out.

I am so happy I wanted to share this experience wioth every one..............Love you all...............Mia1

I am so happy for you. Even the larger stores will not give you a second look this time of year. As far as my experiences have been, if you feel ok while out then most people will accept you. If you are nervous and self concious, then people seem to notice more. Best advice I can give is, relax and enjoy the shopping.

Hiya Mia,

This is great progress. Thank you for sharing your growing experience!

Enjoy the feeling of being treated like a normal person.

I'm very happy for you!!

Karen is right, if you're shopping like a rabbit caught in the headlights, everybody looks, it's like you have this huge exclamation mark with an arrow over your head.

When you're comfortable and relaxed, nobody seems to care.

Did it again. This time at Walmart panties etc. and enjoyed shopping, talked to other women who were in the fashion dep't, as they call it, and then went to the check out aisle, told the clerk that this was only the third time in my life I had shopped at their chain."Where do you usually shop",'Target', Irep;ied.Well I aonly mention this because every thing went so nice and it was so pleasant,and I was so happy.

The only thing is I hope I don,t enjoy shopping too much ,I'll break my budget..................Mia B)

Congratulations, Mia! I loooove Goodwill, and I've been hitting the Walmart for underwear this year, and it's so anonymous there, I never get a second look when I arrive at the checkout with 3-4 pieces of ladies' lingerie. I bought a garter belt and stockings, and an extra pair of stockings at KMart I was in Asheville, NC this weekend, and located a Shoe Show where I found some fabulous footwear *in a size 12, and on sale too!!!!!* So exciting :^)

Glad you're enjoying your life, baby, I think we all deserve to be fabulous B)

Kisses, KM

      Wow, Birdie, I hope you get better soon.  At least the nurses figured out that you're not their standard patient.  Hopefully they treat you right.     I wish my husband would replace our stoves.  Of course we use propane, being way out of town, but they're old.  They are supposed to use a battery igniter, but one hasn't worked in years.  There's actually a hole sawed in the bottom plate of the oven where I stick a match.  And the other one had some sort of valve problem, and couldn't get the parts.  I was hoping for a new stove, but I got to watch in awe and dismay as my husband made a "something" with a piece cut from a roll of bulk automotive gasket material.  It works, no leaks.  But I swear we don't replace anything here until it is absolutely dead.  With my luck, that will be another 20 years on those stoves.      I don't complain much, but I wish I had some nicer kitchen things.  Nobody understands that if I'm serving dinner for 36 people, cooking on sheetmetal plates or using stuff from a 1980s junkyard is a bit....suboptimal.  When I mention it, I get lengthy apocalyptic tales of the deprived life in Argentina or Mexico or "In Soviet Union, stove cooks you..."  Thanks, GF.  Or maybe I'm just too spoiled?

      I do the best I can to 'Pass' and I think I have become better at feminizing my appearance ... But, I have also come to realize that no matter how much I feel I pass, it's more up to the individual I interact with than with my efforts and appearance. If they are self-aware humans they will see me as I truly am ... and then I will receive a compliment, or a 'Ma'am', or just a friendly smile.  That's all I really need.

      In my case, at almost 9 months, most changes have been very subtle. I was 60 when I started, and overweight. Also, I am not very observant when it comes to changes. In the last 3 months I have been on T blockers and breast growth have definitely started having suffered irregular "ouchies", but at the same time I have been slowly losing fat, so Bust measurements have not changed. What has changed in the density, I can feel a difference. Face wise the skin feels softer, and my lashes seem to be more visible. Head hair regrowth is a maybe- maybe not situation.  I do have to select men's clothing carefully to camouflage the change in breast shape. I guess I'm still at the not passable as a female stage especially with no makeup. I'm also over 6 foot and well over 100kgs which I guess is problematic to start with!   Hope this helps somewhat   Kate .

      I started feminizing HRT about 6-7 weeks ago. I began with what I called the beginner's patch. I immediately found myself wanting to level up to the next dose and did that this week (yay!). So far, I am enjoying the ride.   I've read everything I can find on this topic. For the HRT vets on here, what is reasonable to expect in terms of physical changes for someone starting in their 50s? I know "your mileage may vary." I guess I am curious if I stay on my current trajectory for six months, a year, multiple years, how pronounced will the physical changes be? Will I reach a point where it is totally obvious or will I land in a "middle zone" somewhere in which I could pass either way?   Thanks! Like I said I am enjoying the ride so far and always curious to know others' experiences. Not sure anyone else in my life will be excited about these moves I am making, but I have been over that in many places on here already so need to rehash... Love and blessings to all!   Easy

      Being admitted into the hospital after a long ER visit. I started passing lots of blood and they are keeping me for observation.    Nurse came in to see about a condom catheter, that of course doesn't work on me. 🤣   She said, "I guess we will use incontinence supplies on you."

      Yeah.  I think this is what it is about.  Since they are not transgender, nobody else could possibly be either.  I'm not sure that a cisgender person can understand being transgender.  But that hardly means that a transgender person's experience is not real - just because it is not theirs. Why is a transgendered person's experience not valid, while a cisgendered person's is?  Why should it be the cisgendered person that decides? Nobody is forcing a cis person to transition.  What I do for myself is my own business.

      Decided to head for Lowes after work early and bought a new stove.Was in stock and put it back of my truck.Luckily a neighbor of mine whom does appliance repair did come to remove the connection and convert the stove to natural gas in the new one.Was set up for propane.Happy with it and the scrap metal guy came to pick up my old one.He was happy to get it,said he needed one more to make it a load in his trailer full of junk appliances

      I've been thinking it is a matter of belief.  They simply do not believe someone can validly be transgender and should not be allowed to practice their beliefs, but should be forced to practice their belief, that is, that there is no such thing as transgender and it is all mental illness/sin/hormonal imbalance.

      I am really kind of sick of everybody who is not transgender deciding on what we need and do not need in the way of procedures. They act like all of this is play acting, and we can just apply cosmetics to our entire body. It might be refreshing if someone asked us directly what services we need in order to transition. I could say more as I am frustrated, but I do not want to violate the TOS.
