I Wish We Could All Go Out On A Girls Night Out.

I have met so many wonderful girls on Lauras. I keep wishing we could all meet up and have a girls night out. I realise that this is not possible for many reasons especially as most of you live so far away from me. However, it is a great fantasy. It would be nice if we could all dolled up in our femme girls and talk and act as the Women we have always wanted to be and not just guys dressed up. Wouldn't it be great to see each other in the flesh and admire each other outfits. Yet another of my man pipe dreams alas but a nice thought anyway.

It would be nice, however I'm no where near presenting in public. I'm currently relegated to underdressing. Frankly, I'd probably have a heart attack if I presented outside. *eeeek*

I have never worn a wig or wore makeup in all my years of private crossdressing but I do have quite shapely legs, although my knees have got a bit pudgy in middle age. The one thing that would prevent me from passing are my hands.

My wifes best friend noticed I've started shaving my legs, I told her I didn't want the hair obscuing my leg ink. She got mad at me for having nice legs than her :)

I often wonder how it would go as I suspect everyone has their own picture of everyone else. People make assumptions! It could well work though for small groups locally (which happens anyway). Now you mention it it's quite a way over the UK to Wales Belinda never mind the USA.

I have been out with a local trans group once. Got dressed, drove to DC, parked my car in a public lot, paid the fee at the machine, walked to a restaurant and had dinner with another lady from the group, and walked back to my car. All in broad daylight! Best experience of my life! It gave me the courage to go out on my own on another occasion. Alas, the opportunities are few and far between. Being able to go out with a group from here would be brilliant!

Yes, that would be awesome to all get together and go out and have fun as the real US.

As I read the replies here I see lots of girls saying "OMG, I couldnt do that " and I too find myself having those thoughts a lot. BUT........

Im thinking your idea is based on happening in ' THE PERFECT WORLD ' and not as it ...ugggggh.... is.

SOOOOO come on girls take a leap and kick up your heals, this after all is a dream of our world.

We all would be as we are with what we have and dont have and NO its probably not what we want but it is us and we all know that we are woman no matter what we look like. Inside we are female.

We are not judgemental of other trans people so we dont have that to worry about if we went out together.

No ones guna bash someone else cuz thier legs are harry or their shoulders are wider than their hips.

No ones guna laugh at my knoby knees or my big hands / feet cuz we all love each other for who we are inside.

I do this too but Im so tired of seeing US being so hard on ourselfs all the time and seldome just cutting loose and enjoying who and what we are.

We are MEN or WOMAN and we need to enjoy this more.

So, Please stop bashing ourselfs. If only for a little bit and maybe it will become permanate.

SOOOOOO Come on girls and guys lets party and be ourselfs for a night even if its only in a dream world.

I know I ramble a bit here but hope you get what Im saying.

We were asked to go out and have fun together as the real us. I for one would love to get together with all of you and enjoy who we are.

What you say is so true. And I did find a trans boutique that also has a social club, and at some point I do believe I will use that as a starting point. But in all reality, for several reasons, I'm simply not there yet. I still have more work to do....

Go for it Fiona.

Went to my trans women's group meeting last night ( DRESSED )

I so love going there dressed its so liberating.

After the meeting a few of us were talking outside and one of the ladies asked if we wanted to go have a bite to eat.

As I haven't ate diner yet I said sure then realized I was in fem mode. oooooooo dare I ???

Well there's safety in numbers and the area our meetings are in seem to be LGBT friendly soooooooo OK I'll go.

We walked several blocks to a bar/restaurant.

What a blast we had. Great food , awesome convo and friendly people and guess what !!! no one bashed us or anything.

WE were just people having a bite to eat and talking. not freaks at the circus. or weirdos to be gawked at. Just friends having a good time.

Doesnt mean Im going full time right now but it did teach me that maybe I worry to much sometimes.

OH OH BTW.... during break at the meeting I was telling someone that I needed to have someone teach me more about makeup.

The lady I was talking to said " Why ? I think your makeup looks great....very fem "

OMG had to look behind myself to see if she was talking to someone else but there wasn't anyone there. So I guess Im doing better than I thought. WOOOOHOOOOO.

Lets party lol

Can i come to the party as well. I remember the wonderful nervous excitement of being out of the closet. I would be happy to share that with wonderful sister here. I have enjoyed a few get together with folks from Laura's and is so nice to put a live memory with the words we read here.

Hugs,

Charlize

I'm so happy for you, And now since my wife shaved my remaining facial hair, I'm starting to feel better, like I'm on my way to potentionaly peesenting/passing. I do need to learn to work on my voice too. I do need more cosmetic practice and we're still working on the proper colors and I'm thinking about having a tutorial for trans makeup at Carla's.

I am farily confident that I'll venture out relatively soon. What's relaticely? Awesome question, but I don't have an answer. *hehehehe*

*hugs*

YES Charlize

I would be hurt if you didnt come with.

You are an inspiration to many here as to me also.

Im thinking that if the call came out for a get together with all of Lauras girls and guys. Not one of us would turn down the opportunity to strut our stuff with each other.

We seem to mean so much to each other and each and every one of us has gotten and contributed something from this site. Telling me that we are a very special group.

I love all of my trans brothers and sisters and I feel the love back from you every day that I come here. Thank you all.

Peace and tranquility

      I have wondered how basic training is for transgender recruits?   Kymmie 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Some of them are us.  I view while logged out sometimes.  But I also know that so much of this forum is public.  I really wish more areas were "members only."  I'm aware that stuff I post here is publicly viewable, so I never post last names, first names of other people, pictures, or give my location.  I tend to think my husband and GF would be displeased at the few things I do post here.... and they may be right.   Our times are pretty uncertain, and it seems to be "fox hunting season" out there.

      Welcome to the Forums Felix, enjoy yourself, but please get the homework done!!

      On May 4, the Trans Chorus Of Los Angeles did a whole 90 minutes of music that was all written by Trans composers and all of our singers and musicians were Trans / NB.  Several of the pieces were actually written by our chorus members.  (I was running a $3,500 set of video cameras on the show and am editing the the massive gigabytes they put out today. We had several guest artists either on stage or who contributed material.  One of the artists was Wrabel who wrote the song The Village which he has dedicated to the Trans Community and describes a young Trans child and the problems they had in their village.  The other MAJOR Trans Artist was Jennifer Leitham, a Bass Viol and Bass Guitar player who as a young man played with the Big Bands of the 60's and 70's in her male self into Transition, and wrote an autobiographical song entitled Manhood which tells of her love of the men she played with in the bands but her not really fitting as a man. Jennifer has played with the Chorus before and is always good music fun to have around.  Two of our members collaborated on a music and poetry piece simply entitled "I'll - - " which brought some tears with a promise to Trans Young People with the whole chorus shouting "I'll be there for you, I will be there for you" said for Trans Kids.  (We actually had a few Trans kids in the audience to hear it.)  My video editing program has about 40 minutes to go producing the main body of the edited video which has the actual song clips in the right order.  Next to put in the Title slides and the credits.  The stuff I get myself into.   The concert took place at the Renberg Theater which is part of the Los Angeles LGB Center in Hollywood.

      Hi, I'm Felix a little trans guy from a small town. My pronouns are he/they and I enjoy music and all wildlife, I doodle on all my homework assignments. I really don't know what to say but, my favourite animal is a cow, my favourite musical genre is country, I play electric bass & acoustic guitar as well as the ukulele a little bit of piano and drums (hand drums and drum sets). I like things of all sorts and I like food, a lot. My favourite meal is French fries and a good steak. My Personal Record for dead-lifting is 310 lbs and I like to sprint and play basketball. My mum's a "bit" overbearing but what can you do. I love reading Manga, I'm currently reading Assassination Classroom, I also enjoy reading Stephen King. I plan on joining the Marines after high school and become a k-9 handler.  I think that's all. For now :)

      I didn't use makeup even in my girl form.  And certainly not now in my boy form.  I don't even like sunscreen...it just feels greasy.  I've always disliked putting stuff on myself.  Partly because of the physical feeling, and partly because I don't want to pretend to anybody.    My partners are mostly the same...makeup isn't really a thing for our faith.  But my GF and husband have one particular vanity - covering up gray hair.  IDK if I will feel differently when I start getting some of my own, eventually.

      I'm ftm but I still wear makeup on occasion to cover up my rosacea. Just primer and sunscreen usually. Sometimes I'll fill in my eyebrows too

      I think some of "them" are just us. If I log out, I might come in and putter around the forums for a minute before I commit to logging in and reading or participating. That probably shows as a guest visit.

      I have the Pierre by New York Toy Collective, I think I bought it from a different online store but it is that brand. The size recommendations will say that the four-inch shaft (the small Pierre) is for people 5' tall and under. I am 5'8" and it is fine for me. The larger (regular) Pierre shaft size is way too big to wear regularly, but it is a great packer to have around for gender affirming play at home. So even if you are taller than 5', if you aren't sure and you want something easy to wear, go with the small. It is a silicone packer.

      Yes, resilient, for sure.  Ours were elementary/middle school age when their father died.  The girl took it really hard, losing her father.  My husband has been there as friend, counselor, and stepfather.  He was a dear friend of their father, and he has put in a lot of effort to raise them.  The eldest son is now his secretary, aide, and driver at work.   Since I'm young-ish and not their primary parent(s), I have the role of being an older friend to them.  They don't seem to have any issues with my gender.  I'm just Jen, and everybody knows that Jen is a little different.

      If you're looking for a millennial female who might be interested, maybe contact Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? Y'all might have some things in common, and I think she and her partner are doing the "childless" thing.      Interesting that your wife did concrete work.  My GF spent some time laying concrete for her own projects....while 6 months pregnant.   She's a very stubborn girl.  Probably the exact opposite of the millennial female you're looking for, since she's a mother of 5 (and wished she could have more.)  Interesting how folks can have similar origins, but come to opposite conclusions.  My GF grew up in dire poverty, stealing to eat and take care of her little sister.  As a young adult, she spent several years living in a commune, and was a member of an armed communist political movement.  Now she's probably the most fervent anti-leftist, anti-government person you could ever find.  Experiences really shape who we are.    The lesson I draw from this is that globalism is not the right solution, and even the USA is too large a nation for everybody to agree.  Time to downsize voluntarily, before a civil war does it for us.  Some folks suggest that the USA could become between 4 and 7 different nations.  The way the world is going, I suspect you'll get your "depopulation" wish....but it will come about through war, plagues, and famine.

      I made apple pies, since we have apple trees here.  A classic, simple recipe, everything made from scratch.  We can make just about any kind of pie here - pecan, apple, pear, peach, blackberry....    I think the 6-burner stove came from an old diner.  So, technically a restaurant stove, just a small one.  It probably came from an auction, as my partner usually has an eye for deals.    This stove has 8 burners:   https://www.lowes.com/pd/FORNO-48-in-4-32-cu-ft-2-26-cu-ft-Steam-cleaning-Double-Oven-Convection-Gas-Range-Stainless-steel/1003096398?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-app-_-ggl-_-PLA_APP_186_Cooking-_-1003096398-_-online-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286890&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj86BiPj3hQMVeTbUAR2m5wexEAQYASABEgI9tvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds   This one is the one I would love to have...it has 10:   https://www.lowes.com/pd/FORNO-Galiano-Gold-Professional-60-inch-Freestanding-Gas-Range/5013821825?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-app-_-ggl-_-PLA_APP_186_Cooking-_-5013821825-_-online-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286890&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj86BiPj3hQMVeTbUAR2m5wexEAQYDSABEgIt__D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

      Not to bump this up or anything, but I just want to put one more note on the end of this...   Thank you for allowing me to post this here and thank you for all who have responded.  This step has been a huge help to me on my political journey.  I've made several key decisions in the last few days that allow me to run a better campaign for the next 4 years.  I worked my way off of the streets 20 years ago by writing math and computer programming on paper.  10 years later I was able to buy a house with the software engineering work that I was doing.  Now 20 years after getting off of the streets and having two failed bids for US Representative and likely another failed bid in the next couple weeks, I've come to the point of selling my house to run a very frugal campaign for vice-president (it's a thing even though it is an appointed position) for the next 4 years, all on the money I have earned from that work I did on the streets.   My policy going forward is that I'm not going to ask for money and I'm not going to ask for people's votes.  The vice-presidency is an appointed position.  I'm also not going to run for legislative offices anymore.  I'm simply going to tour the country on my own dime looking for good people and a strong millennial female who sees my logic and would like to be president.   I have reached out to tens of thousands of people on my own dime in the last 7 years.  Famous people, ultra-famous people, business leaders, civil engineers, random people, news people, educators, unions, politicians.  I certainly got less than 5 emails from those efforts.  Actually, I only really remember one person.  He is an educator and we had a good Zoom meeting.   I'm not bitter.  I'm not complaining.  Those of you who have followed me on this site know I like to keep things positive and talk about cooking and living healthy.  I hope that this post doesn't get buried.  I think the title is strong and my message is clear.  I don't want to bog this site down with the details of the whole thing.  I simply want people to know that there is a transwoman working to be vice-president.  Notice that I didn't title this a-transwoman-as-us-respresentative.  My politics are executive level.  I'm a whistleblower, not a complainer.  I aim to educate and inspire.
