I apologize if my post took this threat off topic.  It was not my intension.  I was pointing out that some of us do carry for our own protection as well.

 

No apologies needed! You were still on topic. Thought we were discussing different things we put in our purses to fill it up. Plus, I'd prefer to at least know who has firearms or not. Carry what weapons you want, just nothing hidden. At least you're being honest which is far more worth conversing over.

My friends mum used to carry a half brick in her handbag when she lived in London (roughly 40-50yrs ago) and clean knocked out a mugger with it, they weren't stealing from her but someone else as she walked passed. When they attempted to file assault charges against her the police laughed them out of the station... These days I suspect the thief would actually have a claim. I am so glad I do not know or understand gun culture though, I am happy to leave them for films and farmers..?

Gasp... but sharing is caring. :Looks at a pile of bags in the corner of the room:

It's the only thing I use to compulsively pick up cuz I love pockets. The most expensive bag I got was $40 for a small Fossil leather satchel bag with a lovely textured fabric top from MACY's, it was on sale, was suppose to be $120. Still love that bag, had so many pockets. But now, I have cargo pants, which I far more prefer then carrying a purse. Purses always give me a bad shoulder and/or I'm always afraid of losing it. I also tend to over stuff my bag with stuff, so that's mostly my own fault ?.

And why do men always need women to carry stuff in there bags for them? They actually have pockets that fit stuff in it. There's almost never sufficient pockets in most women wear. It's very aggravating.

Because most men don't have hips and/or won't wear a belt. When they put heavy stuff in their pockets, they end up with their pants around their ankles. Not a good look.

Love this idea of changing what these items really are. I've been mugged two times and learned after the first one to always have visible cash to hand over, so I don't loose my credit cards, and Identification. The first time was at a truck stop, the second time was at a 7eleven fuel pump. My 360° awareness has greatly improved.

 

Best wishes, stay positive and safe.

 

Mindy???

This concerns me because, when I get a purse, I am interested in putting my wallet and house key in it. If I get mugged, then the mugger has both my house key and my ID with my address on it. A lot of women's clothes don't have pockets so I might not always be able to put my keys in pockets. Does anyone have any ideas? I suppose I could put my key in my shoe but that would be uncomfortable.

I'm fine with suspenders, that's still a thing. If your not a fan of belts, I get it, but if you're losing your pants even with a belt you need to choose a better solution, other than give it to the woman to carry.

:Hugs:

You could use an old long sleeve salvaged from an old stretchy tight shirt. The idea is you would wrap your keys and wallet in the sleeve by cuffing them till they are folded in secured on your arm. Wear it as an arm-band pouch. If keys and wallet be too heavy, just wrap the wallet in the sleeve cuffs, and get a headband and attach to your keys, to wrap on your wrist like bangle jewelry.

Another thing I like to do is get leg warmers with a tight band cuff and wear it with my open arm tank tops. Not only they warm, I could put my wallet and keys in my sleeves. ??

American Apparel leg warmers were the best but they went out of business so I'm working on my own. Yay knitting time with sick yarn.?It takes forever to knit sock yarn by hand, but it feels so nice.

Also forgot you can just use your bra. It's a very common inner pocket.

Don't forget toque hats! probably not ideal for the summer time, but maybe during the night or colder seasons.

Thanks for the suggestion. If the ring on the key doesn't fit around my bra, I could probably use a paper clip.

 

Jackets and coats usually have pockets, so I can keep a key in there during the cold months. It's only during the warm months I need a discreet place to hide a key.

You could also wrap things in your long stocks/stockinette ?But it's kinda heavy round the legs.

Been trying to think of a long skirt with big pockets but would have to add padding to keep the shape. But if you're into Corsets wallet in the front and keys can be tied into the bow.

I love corsets, unfortunately i can't wear them due to the 20 pounds I've gained over the quarantine lol ? plus its hard to put it on by yourself, Maybe there's a method?

Ok. For the record, I have no doubt that Shawna would not only share her any of her purses with me, but I think that she'd give it to me, if I liked it. Now you know where the saying "she'd give you the purse off her shoulder" came from.

 

I really need to keep my sense of humor in check!

I've heard it is not safe to wear corsets (or at least, to wear them for more than a small amount of time). I hear it weakens the muscles and ligaments in the abdomen (including those that keep the organs in place), and that the pressure from the corset can also move or squish organs.

They certainly do squish and probably rarely move organs but our bodies is practically water bags with bones, if they moved, they should move back on it's own once it's off, sometimes your intestines can get stuck though. But other than, tons of core body work out and you'll be fine. the biggest mistake people make is going too tight and wearing them everyday to the point their ribs bend inward and squish their upper chest, making your ribs weaker & more prone to breaking, all while making their waist 'paper' thin all at the same time. that's unhealthy. I prefer waist trainers as they're more stretchy, giving me a nice curve more comfortably & it also teaches me to sit up straight properly (my biggest problem is slouching over when sitting down?‍♀️)

The method is slow, but works. If you have thick gloves it can help so you can pull the strings as tight as you want like shoelace and tie bow in front, or get use to tieing from behind your back. Do you drink milk? I found out that was my pound putter, stuff has way more sugar that half&half.

I used to be *CRAZY* for milk growing up until puberty, I would drink 4L jugs in 2 days time.... However once i moved in with my dad, there was never milk so I switched to water, so much healthier and better haha. I gained the 20 pounds because I'm stupid and ordered calzones, poutines, pizza, and other sorts of stuff everyday after my birthday on April 27th up until last week when I realized my bank account was going down and my fat was going up. ? Also can't forget all the rum and iced tea I consumed since then too ugh.

Some things I'd want to put in a purse are sunscreen, a small flashlight, a pen/pencil and pad of paper, a whistle (in case I encounter someone dangerous), maybe a computer tablet or small laptop, a water bottle.

Link to comment

I'd also want to bring a few kleenex and a small paper bag to hold garbage (in case I am not near a garbage can when I need to blow my nose).

      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.

      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 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.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?
