First Purse Ever!

Visited JCPenny today and walked into the purse section by accident. About 20 minutes after looking around I decided to buy one. This is the first purse I've purchased, ever. Wanted to share.

Great! Be careful buying them is addictive!!!

I have about eight, yikes!  At first it was slightly awkward carrying one but it quickly became comfortable.  I have two small purses but I have to change out my wallet to use them as it's quite large, like my wife's.  She favors huge handbags.

Congratulations, Alicia Rose!  It's funny how good little things like that can make you feel.  You've also given me an idea.  I've been carrying a purse around out of habit, but the thing has this great big butterfly on it, which does not reflect the image of myself I currently want to present.  As soon as I can afford it, I'm getting a canvas messenger bag.

@Caykay1972 You could always try messaging one of the Root Admins asking for help or if they could change it for you.

@tracy_j, Thanks! :3

@MarcieMarie12, I thought about getting a clutch to be more discreet but I found the courage to buy a bigger bag. I'm glad. I feel pretty picky on which to buy it seems, lol.

@Jani423, I can't imagine buying many of them, but maybe another one. They have this cute white and black bag I wanted as well.

@Sander, It's the little things that help.

Alicia I don't have much money invested in them as I am cheap.  I got two from my wife and the rest from thrift shops.  There are some really good deals on like new bags.  I've never paid more than $8.00!   At that price you can afford to pick up something that may only get occasional use.

Yes, it was odd to carry one at first.  I'd go somewhere and think, do I take one or not, or just take a wallet?  Once you get comfortable with it, you won't leave home without one!!

After a while you will not feel fully dressed unless you have a handbag with you at all times.

      I read about her this morning. What a shame! She was beautiful and it seems she had a strong support system in place and could have had a wonderful life all to have it end like this. Such a waste. I truly hope the monster that killed her gets everything he deserves.

      They’re not going to stop anytime soon either. Tighten your belts folks were in for a long ride.

      I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times.   Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘   *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷

      @Abigail Genevieve, that is not an appropriate question, IMO.  This isn't the Army/McCarthy hearings.   Carolyn Marie

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.

      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?

      Congrats to your family on the new addition!
