Halloween

Does anyone have plans?   There was a time as a child in the 50's and early 60's that i dreamed of a costume.  It was the only chance allowed and even then the approval was very guarded.

It may be different today?

 

Hugs,

My focus is on making sure the kids have costumes they like.  My son is Indiana Jones this year, my daughter is the Other Mother from Coraline. I'll be at work on the day, so I'll probably go hand out candy at the trunk 'r' treat law enforcement does in the parking lot outside my office. I haven't dressed up for Halloween in years and years.

Halloween is still a lesser event here, but I have noticed the stores are really getting in on the act these days. I have no plans, but it would be a good idea. Locally here in Uk, except for parties, costumes seem generally to be worn only by young children

Same plans I have every year.  We'll pig out on nachos and watch at least one B horror flick to make fun of it.  Then the main attraction: The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

 

I used to get creative in my costumes for Halloween at work, back in the day.  Won scariest costume one year when I was full-time male.  Showed up to work dressed as a nun and everyone lost their minds.

If you like the Disney theme, Rachael, give it enough time with makeup and you could go as Ursula from The Little Mermaid.  I've seen that done really well a couple of times now.

The weekend before, we are going to South Carolina to visit my daughter, SiL and granchildren. They just closed on a beautiful home and we'll help them break it in. :-)

 

On Halloween itself, I'll celebrate Samhain here at home.

 

I've spoke of this before, but when I was a child, Halloween was the one night of the year I could be 'Jennifer' with no shame. I remember her as a child, she was quite lovely. I got compliments at about every house we where stopped for candy. 

 

Someone asked recently about regrets. I do wonder how things might have been had Jennifer been allowed the opportunity to flourish instead of T. 

 

But anyway, happy Halloween to all!

I've got an AA meeting @ 9 Tuesday night and i'll probably go as a witch.  I've got a great hat, long black full skirt with a full petticoat and orange and black stripped stockings.  Some pointy shoes and a cackle will fill in the rest  Booooo.

 

Hugs,

Boo!?

 

I love All Hallow's Eve! To me it kicks off the holliday season. I traditionally celebrate with pizza, candy, and horror movies. And I've got Halloween off this year! I've been watching a horror movie each night at work for a couple weeks now. Really getting into the spirit!

 

Happy Halloween, or have a good Samhain!

 

Lots of love,

Timber Wolf???

TW, the candy and pizza sounds great, but I'm too much of a fraidy cat for horror movies.

I will just renew this one for this year.  Actually I will be getting my 9 year coin from my home AA group tomorrow night, that is my TREAT for the year.

      https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/04/russian-poetry-competition-bans-transgender-applicants/     Everyone in Russia knows that Putin hates LGBT people, so every segment of society gets on board with the Leader's viewpoint, or they risk his wrath.  Sounds a lot like Florida, doesn't it?   Carolyn Marie

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!

      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!

      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
