Since I cut off my 2yrs of hair growth. I miss it. I know I could go with a wig until it grows back.

 

I was wondering about Hair extensions, Has anyone looked into it? Is there a minimum length your hair needs to be to get extensions? What is the aprox cost?

 

Thanks, everyone

I have used clip in hair extensions of a few types before I went red-head but I would have to get a new set of them that would be expensive since my red is a custom color now.  I have pictures in my gallery of the dark blond pieces I used early in my game.  You will want your hair to be about 4 to 5 inches long on top for a reason I think you can see up there.  I do not recommend the glue in kind due to their expense.  Sally Beauty Supply carries a good selection of color options, but some can get to be aboout $120.00 in human hair.

Kind of funny I was looking at hair extensions this weekend but don’t have a clue about them. I’m gonna call a couple of salons around me and make an appointment

My wife ordered me a bunch of hair extensions as a surprise for my birthday this year. She bought me 2 really cute curly buns and from a separate company she also bought me these nice looking clip-on bangs to see if I would look good in short front bangs without actually cutting my existing ones. Sadly, the front bangs never arrived. I got the curly buns but unfortunately they did not match the color shown in the pictures on the company website...at all. If anyone buys hair products like this via the web, keep this in mind.

 

Here’s an image of one that ‘sort of’ worked until my recent hair salon visit that added light caramel highlights to my hair.

My hair was growing out because of Covid not being able to get it cut.  So, I thought .. Great! I will by a 6"inch human hair top cover extension (to cover my bald spot) and to just see how it might look. 

They came in various sizes.  6 inch was the smallest, but you can always have them professionally cut to fit your hair style.


Then,  the barbers/salons opened again, got my hair cut (back to normal man short) and then the extension arrived ... too late.  Oh well, maybe I will have an opportunity to grow it out again someday. 

Looks like I will be a wig wearer unless my hair magically grows back on HRT one day?‍?

      With the onslaught of bills targeting trans kids in the US and the current attempt to radically curtail gender-affirming treatment for kids in the UK I think you could just as easily ask why are things so hard for trans kids. Given the volatile political situation around them, I am pleased to hear there are still services attempting to help them.

      @Mia Marie I agree that it seems most of the focus is on Trans Youth.  And maybe that is in part because of protecting Trans Youth from the political environment, and to give them a chance to transition at an earlier age.  Many of our generation have been cloistered for most of our lives by societal exceptions and I think that has made it more difficult to be Visible ... until Now. So I guess my answer is ... Be Visible and seek out, or even start, support groups in your local area.  Planned Parenthood does provide Gender Affirming Care and therapy in most U.S. regions (and they take Medicare!).

      As a registered CA voter I would be HAPPY to vote against this bill ... BUT as @Carolyn Marie mentioned it has little chance to make the ballot.  Hopefully this will put the Death Knell on the bill.   wrt Parents Rights of notification.  I would agree if there was potential harm to a child, or if the child was involved in potentially harming somebody else.  BUT, that would not be the case in the preponderance of situations.  The decision to Come Out to one's own parents should be up to the individual child only.  If the child does not feel Secure or Safe in their household then it should not be up to the State or School to make that determination. If the child did feel safe and secure they would have probably already come out.  If they haven't ... then the situation seems obvious.  Protect the Child, not the System.

      Great news!  We ARE starting to receive more public support and visibility in opposition to these types of horrendous and wasteful bills.

      Nice to meet you @mattie22 , and Welcome! Your feelings are very normal.  I felt much the same at the beginning of my Journey.  But, in fact it is a 'journey' that is unique to each of our individual lives.  There is not a specific or pre-determined destination.  That's up to you to discover as you find your way. You already received some great Encouragement here.  I hope stay with us, and you will both discover and contribute.  Deeps breaths ... one step at a time

      Incredible news for transgender and abortion providers and patients in Maine. Despite violent threats, Gov. Janet Mills of Maine has signed a sanctuary bill into law. It even enshrines WPATH Standards of Care as protected by Maine.   https://twitter.com/ErinInTheMorn/status/1782894991368462520/photo/1

      Basically my only source of validation is from close friends who know I'm trans 😅   I'm not a very masculine-looking guy in general, and I've had to stop binding due to pain, so strangers and physical validation aren't things I can get. My family still uses she/her pronouns and female terms with me, so there's not much validation at home, either.   I'm grateful I have friends that are willing to use my pronouns and such, though. It makes me feel a lot better.

      This is a question I ask myself all the time. When I'm out I hope that I can some what pass

      I use my  chosen name online and when ever I can. I play some online game and only go by that name. That is how everyone there know me. Yes it does feel great to be called the name you prefer.

      I was ten years old when my mom walked in on me frolicking around my room dressed up in her bra, panties, and some pantyhose. I had been doing this in the privacy of my bedroom for a little while now so I had my own little stash box I kept full of different panties, bras, etc ... of hers. My mom's underwear was so easy for me to come by and she was a very attractive woman, classy, elegant. Well when she walked in on me, she looked at me with disgust and said to me... "If I wanted to run around like mommy's little girl instead of mommy's little boy, then she was going to treat me like mommy's little girl."  She left my bedroom after telling me NOT to change or get dressed or anything and returned with a few of her work skirts and blouses and such. She made me model off her outfits for her and I have to admit ... I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I felt so sexy, and feminine. And she knew I loved it.  She told me we can do this every weekend if I'd like. It would be OUR little secret.

      The usual social ways, of course.  Taking care of my partners and stepkids, being involved in my community.  That makes me feel good about my role.   As for physical validation and gender... probably the most euphoric experience is sex.  I grew up with my mother telling me that my flat and boyish body was strange, that my intersex anatomy was shameful, that no man would want me. So experiencing what I was told I could never have is physical proof that I'm actually worth something.

      <Moderator hat on>  I think that, at this point we need to get the thread back onto the topic, which is the judge's ruling on the ballot proposition.  If there is more to be said on the general principles of gendered spaces etc., please discuss them, carefully and respectfully, in separate threads. <Moderator hat off>
