Halloween dressing.

I keep seeing posts about CDers  only dressing and going out in public on Halloween.

I never understood why they couldn't go out dressed any day they wanted and why they are so fixated with Halloween.

Not being one who gets into Halloween and dressing up as some kind of character it just makes me wonder what their train of thought is.

Because nobody judges you on Halloween. You can be whoever, or whatever, you like and nobody cares. It's just a costume. It's all just for fun.

 

I have a bi-gendered friend who mostly goes this route, though she comes out for other events. Her friends all know what's going on, what name to use, etc... but she limits herself to events. I suppose it's a good way to remain closeted without being closeted? I mean the people that would accept her know, but she can still point at the circumstances and tell her boss that it was a costume.

 

Not something I was willing to do (obviously) but it (mostly, she still struggles with bouts of depression) works for her.

 

Hugs!

Oh….      Then it's really not a Satanic Cult of some kind?

Heh Heh

The first time I ever wore a dress was for Halloween.  Of course I was just a kid and had never heard of "transgender" or cross dressing either as far as I know.  But I still remember it - was one thing I thought about when I was trying to figure myself out much later.

Depends on who you ask. A friend of mine had to "patrol the perimeter" for "signs of demons" on Halloween night so nobody would get possessed.

The big thing about Halloween is that it is safe to dress however you want.  Nobody will question your masculinity if

 

But I made it a point of never wearing female clothes at Halloween.  I didn't want anyone to get the impression that it was a costume, or that I was "dressing up".

I don't dress differently for Halloween, but of course I wear female clothes all the time anyway.  I usually have some candy for the kids on hand, but nobody comes out here and I'm forced to eat it myself.  It's rough.

I guess the difference  is I am transgender and not a CDer.

I don't have any guy clothes other than some flannel shirts so its girl clothes 24/7

<laugh> Same here. I've been told that flannel shirts and racerbacks are the traditional garb of my people (I'm very, very gay) so... They're also pretty darn comfortable and snuggly warm in the winter.

I've used Halloween as "cover" for trying out new thing for years.

This has been a thought in back of my mind but maybe I'll just wear a cute dress.

I was paying for my gas one Halloween night and a CDer came in and the guy cashier was a bit on the rude side and called the guy a fa&&ot so I tend to think Halloween isn't the all forgiving day a lot of CDers think it is.

The cashier never said a word to me or called me any names.

A good portion of my boobs were on display so maybe that was the key passing that afternoon.

      @Willow things went pretty well on Monday. I have been working on the project all week long. I've been hanging out with my husband a lot, since he said that nobody would mind because I'm working on company stuff. My work is going slowly, but it is going. Rather better than I had hoped.   I ended up waking up late this morning. After 18 months of only working on house chores, not really used to doing anything else. Actually a little bit tired

      Getting back to this… I've seen objections to Critical Race Theory, but simply "critical theory" is a new one on me.  I think we need to be "critical" about a lot of things, or at least examine why we believe what we do about them.  If they stand up under scrutiny, great.  If not perhaps we need to look at something else.   Not all socialists are Soviet Russian Communists. I have read very little Marx myself.  That kind of writing bores me quickly.  But I think there are legitimate concerns about unfettered capitalism.  There are countries that seem to do well on a mixture of capitalism and socialism.  But I am no Tankie.   The Red Scare kinda morphed into the Lavender Scare, and now we have this Transgender Scare.   The thing is, most people are scared to get to know any of the people they are scared of. I'm not scared of evangelical christians.  But I am a little scared of what they seem ready to do to me, because they are scared of me. I am not a scary person - don't want to be.  I'm just an old trans woman trying to mind my own business, and get with what's left of my life. And the 2025 project seems to be designed to make that difficult.

      Acceptance

      By FinnyFinsterHH · Posted

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.

      Maybe.  But they'd probably resent being required to do it.   IDK.  You have to show ID to register already.  And you have to be registered to vote.

      Hah! Woke up the Red Scare!   I’ve never read Marx. I tend to believe in the inherent goodness in people. I let their words and deeds change that. Insisting people are immoral/less than/should not exist, stripping them (or keeping them from) human rights, is an a most basic example of true evil. What evils do LGBTQ+ people present simply existing? How does the Right justify their crusade against us? What justifies the manufactured fear and loathing they spout every day about us?

      I saw this concert in which it is said that the famous phrase of Jon Landau "I saw the future of rock and roll and his name is Bruce Springsteen" comes from that night. By the way Bruce opened for Bonnie Raitt that night and she was the better performer . . . just sayin'.

      If you could talk for 1 hour about any topic without preparation, what would it be?

      By KathyLauren · Posted

      Astronomy and astrophotography.  I have done a few public presentations on the subject and could most likely wing it for an hour without putting you to sleep.   On the other hand if you need a sleeping pill, I could also talk for an hour about flying and you'd be out cold.
