First day dressing femme at work!


Bri2020

Recommended Posts

Well, My wife helped pick out some clothes and loaned me a top so I'm off to work for the first time in fem mode!  I'm lucky b/c I don't have to worry about coworkers since they are my employees and know and are supportive as hell but this will be the first time our customers see me this way.  My wife has to get the obligatory "first day of school" photo. lol. Hugs to all.

PS- Oh and when I came out to my daughter yesterday the first thing she said after the moment of shock was " Does this mean I get to go clothes shopping with you tomorrow?"  Just wow.

Hi Bri! Congratulations on your first day. You look great and you look really happy. It's very nice to hear that your daughter, wife, and employees are happy for you as well. Congratulations?

Thanks everyone! I can't believe it's been 3 weeks presenting full time. I feel totally at home in my clothes and not self conscious at all anymore in public.  I even wore a dress to work for the first time yesterday. I think I pulled it off well because I got a few "Ma'ams" over the course of the day! My wife is now jealous of my closet since I have more then her but she decided that we can now "share" my clothes since they fit her too.  lol. My shoe collection however is all mine ;). I managed to get 5 pairs of size 12s that fit from DSW yesterday.  I found out that people can order online and ship direct to the store so they go in and try them on there and if they don't like them they can just return them right there. Then, if it's not a style they normally have in the store, they turn around and clearance them.  Turns out, all the size 12s , 13s and a lot of the 11s are all online ordering only so bam- 5 pairs of quality shoes for $180!  

Hugs

I echo what Carolyn said, you look terrific.  A nice selection of shoes too!  I'm glad you had a good time and that you are comfortable at work and home as yourself.

You're Beautiful @Bri2020! and you absolutely GLOW in that photo.  Love your style!  its perfect for you!

Such a wonderful time for you that your self-acceptance has translated into a natural comfort at home (you have a terrific wife) and now out in public/work.  Its shows in your photo.

 

Thank you for the encouragement to myself and others here in the sharing of your journey❣️

      This might help. These are the grace and lace letters dealing with Christianity and transgenderism from someone who struggled with the "conflict".   https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/catalog?f[collection_name_ssim][]=Grace+and+Lace+Letter&sort=dta_sortable_date_dtsi+asc%2C+title_primary_ssort+asc

      Back again love conquers all I don’t think my wife and kids would hold me hostage but if I explain it right to them it might prove how much I’ve lived them over many years

      I am an evangelical  I am also transgender.  This is an issue. I have read up on it.  I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading.   One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender.  Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself.  Which is, practically, impossible.  I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work.    In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own.  That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are,  in the words of a glorious hymn,   1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ.  We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him.    Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works.  That is strong but true.   Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it.  Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.

      Eventually, (especially if you start T,) things will even out. The excitement you feel is from everything being so new. Finally knowing yourself and having others recognise you can be thrilling. However, because it is your natural state of being, eventually that wears off. There's nothing exciting about it anymore because it's "just you." (Which is a perfect thing to be!) This, however, can lead to disappointment. Trust me when I say however, that that disappointment and jarring reaction to wrong pronouns will go away, and you'll once again feel comfortable in yourself.

      I love long hair. I'm wanting my hair to touch the floor. I guess we shall see how long it can get.

      I wear a wig most of the time.  But I can get by with my natural (shoulder length) hair if I wear a hat or something to cover the mostly empty top. Unfortunately that train has left the station, sigh.

      Normal is a word in the dictionary and a setting on washing machine.

      I mean, we're trying !  Just have to be a Southern Girl for now.

      Oddly enough, just this weekend I read some of my poetry at a local event.  In this case it was a Pride group so I didn't have a particular advantage.  But I have read in more inclusive (of cis people) situations, and been fairly well received.  Let's face it, cis people do deserve an equal chance.   I suppose this might be a problem in the future.
    • Ivy
      Of course we do.  The few friends I do have are almost exclusively cis or trans women. I think I could have a relationship with a man, but he would be kinda "other" to me.  Could be interesting though. I never have understood guys - even when I was trying to be one.
