Christmas is coming if you havent noticed already.  ?

 

So firstly i  will get in early and  say 

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL. I HOPE ITS FULL OF FUN AND JOY.

 

 

So do tell us what something or things you would like to be left under the tree for you this year? The gift that would make you shine the brightest?

 

 

Personally. Im a simple kinda Gal. Bit of bling and im quite happy. I would even stretch to maybe a diamond or Two.

 

 

Whats on your Christmas wish list?

Think I'm going to play Santa and bring some Leggos to a little boy I know that has two mommies that I care for and who live close by.

Well I asked for “the gift of shopping “. Lol

Gift cards are my best friend lately.  

There are so many female things I want it’s crazy.    Some I am not ready to wear in public yet but nevertheless want them. 
I don’t know all my sizes from brand to brand so I need to try things on.  I can’t exactly ask for anything outright yet.  I love to shop and look and buy.  Dream over some things.

I played Santa to myself. Skip ahead for the punchline.

Backstory: a long time ago I was both a performing musician and a visual artist. The woman I was in a relationship with insisted I couldn't do both and had to choose. I chose visual art, set down my guitar and went.

Punchline: I've been plunking around on a little classical guitar, but just bought a nice electric guitar to play. Who knows, I may even get back on stage someday!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

@TammyAnne, she wasn't wrong. Producing creative work you can sell in two disciplines is difficult. Then again, we all need to have hobbies. Sometimes we're very good at them. I'm glad you're picking up the guitar again, the world needs more music.

 

I don't actually want anything for Christmas. I expect a gift card from my father in law. I'll probably use it for underwear and socks like I did last year. That's not a bad thing, I have live five pairs of daily-wear in rotation and four pairs of "special occasion" undies. I could probably use another bra too if I can find one in my size (Sasquatch petite) that I like.

The best gift I could get is just the smiling faces of my extended family and being made to feel welcome... part of that is going to be weird. By Susan's request, we haven't told her dad. This has in no way kept me from being out in front of her dad. I'm not sure he knows who I am.

 

I'm making sure to play Santa for the gaming group. They all get cards because there's a lot of them. I've got some ideas for my niece... she likes goth jewelry as much as I do. No clue what to get for my nephew. Susan's getting a hand-painted jewelry box in the shape of a sea turtle. To me anyway, that's what the season is about. Giving little gifts to friends and family to show that you appreciate them and then spending time together.

 

And now I'm tearing up... we so need a happy tears emoji.

 

Hugs!

Making music makes my heart soar. I enjoy it. If anyone else does, great! Otherwise, who cares?

I'm a firm believer in having enough underwear, so my vote is "go for more!"

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      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.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

      @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.
