New Gown


Sally Stone

Recommended Posts

In March, I am attending the Keystone Conference in Harrisburg, PA,so I needed a new dress for the Gala.  Historically, I generally only buy from the clearance racks, but this year I just couldn't find a dress I liked.  When I stumbled across this one, I thought it suited me perfectly.  Still, ordering a $200 dollar dress is a bit scary.  I ordered it though, because I decided I wanted to make a splash at the formal this year.  Well, after it arrived and I tried it on, I couldn't be more elated.  It fit me perfectly, and is extremely flattering.  A couple of the reviews said the dress was too long, but given my tall stature, I couldn't imagine it being long on me, and actually, the length is nearly perfect.  I hope to get lots of pictures the night of the formal, and perhaps one will be good enough to post.

 

Hugs,

 

Sally

Woah. Very nice dress. If it looks good on you... it must be yours.

Thanks so much ladies.  It was definitely a splurge for me, but now that I know how it looks, I don't regret the expense a single bit.  Occasionally, you just have to indulge yourself, right?

 

Hugs,

Absolutely. Also something I didn't understand while pretending to be male. I owe a lot of women apologies for being stupid. I had no idea. ?

So right Jackie.  Guys just miss the joy of shopping.  They don't realize that shopping is therapeutic, really good medicine.

 If you have spent that much on it, and it does turn out too long and may trip you, it is worth going to a place where they can do an alteration of the length. Some of the vendors at the conference may actually be local and do it for convention price.  I think the dress and style are a knock-out.

Well rats!  The adage "All dressed up and no place to go" immediately comes to mind now that Keystone is cancelled.  I guess I'll have to find another event to attend so I can show this dress off properly.  I'm thinking a hockey game probably isn't the best choice.

 

Hugs,

      This was an angle that I was very suspicious of as well, and may be the hook on which the settlement was hung.      Not at all strange especially if they had former patients who moved there that still owed money on their bills or they were buying hospital supplies from a Texas corporation. They may have business licenses in other states as well.  Small loss, but saxeT shot itself in the foot there since the license was a source of income to the state.

      Nah it's fine, I'm past the point of really blaming them most of the time. I've gotten used to it, and they could be a whole lot worse.   I'm glad you have a good place, though <3

      I wonder about the professional knowledge level here.  Men have milk ducts.  She, as a nurse, should know this.  This is interesting  https://www.livescience.com/45732-can-men-lactate.html  Yes, men can lactate and have lactated, trans or cis.  The idea that Birdie does not have milk ducts or tissue is just plain wrong.  Her statement indicates that she has not looked at the medical record, which she should be familiar with to treat the patient.

      Trans women can lactate under the right conditions. But that's not even the case in your situation.  It's so stupid how they simply refuse to accept your reality.

      It takes a lot to make me that way. Then it depends on which side comes out. I could simply walk away or be very confrontational. I'm used to being made fun of and criticized. I don't take to kindly if someone talks about my kids or family though.

      aren't folks odd ..just dress differently..like pick to be a boy for today instead of the girl you're screaming you are really..so that I can be more comfortable...needs   I'm sorry   I have family wedding this summer too..I've said for 2 years I'm not going n I've skipped holidays for that period..now I'm being told I'd best be there in boy mode...yeah right..laughs   sorry. I'm planning on once again skipping the event. until you'll let me attend as myself, I guess you dint really miss me that much .so I find something else to do n just accept the number of folks who unconditionally love me is a lot smaller than claimed.  oh well.   good luck sweetie

      I suppose both sides can claim a win they didn't get.

      Mia, forgive me, I should have introduced myself. Hi, I’m Bette. I work with trans youth and I have many young trans friends; the other day I was at a party with 30-40 of them. If you’re envious of young trans folks I understand; when I left that party I broke down in tears thinking of all I’d missed out on as a young person. But I was also happy for them, and if anyone were to try and take away their happiness I would fight for them with all my strength.   I don’t know you, but it seems to me you’re angry about more than just your inability to find help? I’m very sorry to hear that you are struggling, but I hope you are not blaming young trans folks for that. Imo there is a generation gap in the trans community and it needs healing, not exacerbating. We are far stronger when we are united.
