Bought my first shoulder bag. :o

Well, since I switched exclusively to women's jeans I've run into the annoying problem of not having any idea where to put my Wallet... or my cell phone.. or my keys.. The wallet was the worst though because Ive had it forever and it has a chain on it that I would usually hide the majority of in my pocket. I just lack the pocket space to carry all this stuff around on me now! I mean if I did try to stuff all of this junk into my pockets I would look really.. really strange.

So I decided that I would grab my friend who is way more fashion knowledgeable than me, and he helped me pick out a really nice smallish shoulder bag big enough to fit everything I need inside of it, and a matching wallet. Honestly glad I got some help, as my instinct would have to have been to go with something black, he had me go with a white bag with black trim, and I have to admit it really does look better especially for spring! Was a little costly though, I swear transitioning just leaves me perpetually broke.

Anyways it's really my first purse of any kind, and it's sooo nice to finally have somewhere to put all this stuff with out trying to stuff it all into these tiny pockets! Maybe I'll take a picture of it here later tonight or something. :D

I always hate tiny pockets. My wallet is too thick. Hnnng.

Congrats on the new accessory!

I'm working on losing weight so I can fit into a nice suit.

Also what video games do you like?

That's really nice that you got some help in picking out a good bag! I know I'm going to need to think about getting a bag soon too. I keep everything in my coat for the time being.

I'd definitely want to see pics of what you got!

Ah, the first handbag. Then soon it is the second. It is all so innocent. Then you leave the handbags together by the bed, or in the chair overnight. Next morning POOF!!! you have six or eight of them. LOL! It's a girl thing. Giggle. Hug. JodyAnn

I got a lot of them early in my trans life but now i have a favorite. It's an old black leather coach bag. It holds everything so well. Just enough space for me if i keep the wrappers out. it feels right with just about anything except a really formal outfit. I never have a chance for that anyway so its been great for a year = now. Can'r leave home without it. i wouldn't ever want to put things in my pockets again.

Hugs,

Charlie

Alright, finally got a picture uploaded, my Phone decided to take a 2 megabyte picture so I had to do some editing to get it uploaded! lol

FirstHandbag

Got it at JCPenny, wanted something that wasn't huge for now and the shape was a good fit for what I was wanting.

And yeah Jody, I actually saw a second one there that I liked and seriously thought about buying but it would have been way to expensive to get both! So I got just the one... for now.

Angel, it's pretty short. It's just big enough to go over the shoulder with some extra room. Just about what I was looking for for the time being. :)

Thanks Sam :) My sense of style tends to be a little to punky/darkish, I'll go with black 99.9% of the time. Even though there are alot of styles I like I just have no practice going out and actually going for said styles. lol

I'm totally with you on the black thing... at some point, the vast majority of clothing I had were dark colored or just black...

Love it except I like them long and black goes with anything and the the longer the better feels more comfortable over my shoulders

What brand is it ? It's not Prada is it ?

Angel :)

Nope not Prada, it's LuLu by Lulu Guinness.

Though to be honest my friend would totally like to get me hooked on designer stuff like Prada. :D lol

The other one I looked at, the same brand had a longer strap, and the bag was a bit bigger. It was so pretty but I couldn't afford both so I went with simpler for now. :)

I love purses. Beware though: I started with a small one, just like you, to carry the essentials.

...then I needed more essentials and as a result, my purse got larger.

Link to comment

Oh, it's a rule! The bigger the purse, the more the stuff. I started with really small purses, they expanded. Giggle. Then someone gave me a really big purse, telling me it made me look smaller. After I had small, medium and large, the flood gates opened. Now I have a litter of purses. Dump it out on the bed, pick the one for the day. Scoop all the needed goodies into the new one. Grab it and fly! The curse of the purse comes at bedtime, when you have to figure out what to do with what is still laying on the bed. Sometimes it's really weird treasures. No complaints here...

...other than I don't have THAT PURSE! Sooo Jealoussssss. Just kidding, it is a great purse though. Thanks for the pic. Hug. JodyAnn

That was what my friend said too when suggesting that particular color combo! :D I really actually like it.

:D I'm sorry Angel! Hopefully you'll find something you love!

Well, now that I think about it. I'm sure I could find more stuff to fill it with, and there was a larger purse that I did like but ultimately didn't buy. So I have no doubt the same thing will happen with me! LOL Though there is still quite a bit of room in this one... but I don't really own any makeup yet either.

Jody, I can't say I have a pile of bags yet, just the one.. But I am already totally there with Shoes! :D

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      Happy birthday, Sam! Lotsa love!

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?

      Oh yes. It was not fun cleaning it up but he is better.
