Today I had my first appointment with a hair dresser which went wonderfully!! After discussing how I wanted my hair, the stylist washed and conditioned my hair. I had my hair trimmed and evened out then I had her put some highlights in and curl my hair. This was one of the best 2 1/2 hours I have spent yet.

Congratulations, that is one big scary step for a lot of people. I am lucky that my hair stylist is the sister of a MtF sister and as a result, I can be very open and chatter like any other woman there. I have been doing this for 6 years and have never been disappointed. I need a color touch up every time I go so it is a bit more expensive, but my hair color has become one of my "trade marks" here in the Los Angeles TG community.

I am envious. There isn't much they can do for my shaved head. Polish?

Hugs,

Charlize, polish is good. Protects from the elements and all... :-) I'm Lucky in that my wife's stylist is TG so I also go to her. She's very helpful and really good.

That's brilliant Jill :)

The hairdresser was something I worried about for a while. I had been going in male mode for a few years (the gents hairdresser had moved on and ladies moved in but I just kept going), but needed to change things as she was treating me as a man. Initially I was still presenting fully male but I am steadily changing. When I finally plucked up the courage to talk about things she said she had wondered as she had seen me in another town wearing a skirt :unsure: All went well and we chat away like a pair of old women :D

Just goes to show that we often worry about nothing

      Do you believe in fate?

      What's going on in Oklahoma?

      By Ladypcnj · Posted

      Sup singly, a superintendent prevented a student within the transgender community from changing current name, to the new name in which the student identifies with, I don't know how far back this story goes, but if you Google it under Oklahoma along with "student name change" the article should pop up. I'm not transgender, but I can relate to the process of legally getting a name change done, it's a lot of paperwork from court, a lot of traveling, and expenses depending on the laws from each state.

      Wondering if I could pass

      By April Marie · Posted

      No one seemed to pay attention to me other than a young woman who complimented me on my skirt and an older gentleman who smiled at me as we passed each other.

      Wow, I guess it’s the dat to be in trouble.  I’ve been hit twice by the ASM today and it’s my day off.  Why didn’t you, followed latter with a where is the.  Made me realize that I do t want to continue working long enough to pay for it. I guess I’ll just to have to stick with my 20 year old car for now.   I suppose sooner or later only one of us won’t be able to drive anymore.  Since I am older you might think it would be me but at this time i am the one that does all the driving except when she goes to church or the store when I’m at work.  She hasn’t driven anywhere since February and hasn’t driven more than 10 miles in perhaps a year.  Yet the “good” car was purchased for her not for me because she couldn’t drive the Jeep which we bought strictly for her because she wanted it.  But it turned out I was the one that really liked it.  Can’t win.

      I have been told that I "pass" better than I realize. I hope that is true.

      Good morning :)   I have coffee today, but the cup keeps leaking (I guess the cap isn't able to fully seal or something), so I keep having to wipe up the sides lol   Almost finished all my missing work for school, which means if I do a bit more work, I should be out of trouble with my parents (not even that bad of trouble compared to when I was younger, more just an annoyance haha)

      Good morning 😘   Finished packing up my kitchen and pantry for fumigation today. I also modified my backpack to make it day-centre compliant.  I was able to get almost 2 hrs sleep last night, so I'll survive. 😑

      Do you plan to be active during Pride Month? If so, what type of activities?

      By KathyLauren · Posted

      I'll be going to some Pride events as a spectator.  Maybe marching in a parade if they have open participation.    The event we'd prefer to go to is held in a small town with a population of less than 600.  They have a parade through all three blocks of their downtown area.  Unfortunately, this year it is on the same day as a memorial service for a friend who passed away this winter, so we'll have to miss it.  So our second choice is a larger town, population about 9000, a bit farther away.    And we are keeping our eyes open for other events in the general area as they are announced.   I dress a bit flashier than normal, with some trans bling, such as rainbow or trans flag earrings, a trans symbol pendant, and a handheld trans flag to wave.  Political sentiment is turning against us, but public sentiment here is still strongly on our side, so getting out and showing the flag, both literally and figuratively, is important.
