I really didn't want to get out of my tights today after my workout but they're just no work appropriate. Today is a thin polyester top from Loft that my sis gave me for xmas and some parachute slacks gifted/hand me down from a staff member. Necklace is a nice middle eastern thing I found at a thrift shop. Shoes are DSW.  Socks aren't really right for this but they don't show unless I cross my legs and it's COLD today. lol

I'm realizing I have A LOT of clothes for just coming out 6 months ago.  ?

This blouse really exemplifies the challenge of sleeves for taller trans women. These were meant to be wrist length.

It actually looks like a normal 3/4 length sleeve. It still works well for you @Bri2020 but I’ve had the same issue on a few tops myself. You look great, btw!

You look amazing Niamh.  I'm loving every choice there. The butterfly is gorgeous.  I've realized I like the larger impact/statement pieces.

We keep mentioning workout clothes, so before I go back to civilian attire, this is what I wore to the gym today.

Though I was still wearing my tennis shoes then. I don't LIKE to wear my gym shoes outside the gym. Normally they just live in my gym bag.

Looking fit!  Do you use a national gym chain and if so which one?  I'm contemplating going back after I get vaccinated but have some anxiety about being trans in a gym environment pre-surgery.  My lifetime gym said their locker room policy is use the one you Identify with but I'm not comfortable using the woman's lockers when I still have man parts and certainly don't feel comfortable on that side now that I'm growing breasts.  It's all very anxiety inducing.

I would go with whatever gym policy is.

How odd would you feel in the men's locker room with breasts?

You could just not change at the gym so that is an option.

My workout partner thinks I can still drop another 50 pounds. I'm skeptical. She has a female relative of similar height, but I'm built a little thicker.

 

I use LA Fitness. My club is on the smaller side and happens to be within walking distance of my house (big plus). I actually felt the same way about the locker rooms, even if I wasn't getting naked (I shower at home because my skin is ultra delicate and I'd have to schlep like 100 pounds of product along with me. Also I CANNOT touch chlorine because I go up like an Alka-Seltzer tablet so public filters make me nervous.) Anyway, they have a unisex bathroom/changing room that I was using from the point I learned it existed until after my bottom surgery. Single occupancy, but I felt SO much better using it even if I did have to wait now and again for Xena (that's really her name, and she was the only other member who usually used that restroom/changing area. She liked privacy for her showers).

From experience, I can tell you "pretty odd" like a spider on a hot plate. It got weirder when somebody noticed and said, "You've got some balls coming in here with those."

 

Seriously, what do you say to that?

 

YMMV though because I've ALWAYS felt super-uncomfortable in a men's locker room.

 It depends on what I'm wearing. If I have a blouse or dress that comes up near my neck I prefer long pendant type necklaces. That butterfly and another teardrop style necklace I got from a private seller on ebay for £2 each. And I love the butterfly.

I find it strange that straight people worry so much about other peoples body parts. What they have or don't have LOL.

Transphobes are the worst when it comes to worrying about stuff like that.

Transphobes are EXTRA creepy. I mean I can look at another woman and think, "Damn, I wish I had a butt like that." A transphobe will look and think, "What's in her pants?"

 

Who does that?

Sorry...Saw this and my inner silverback came out and instantly thought of something far worse and would be totally game for battle, worst then a charismatic raging D&D barbarian.

Though, I'm not you, if I was in your position my answer would lean more towards using snarky charism like a Bard trying to defuse a barbarian using the truest of weapons... comedy.

 

"You bet right! But not by choice... honestly I prefer the top weights to the bottom ones. Balls just don't make the cut for me. Also once again...not by choice. We all have preferences, too bad we can't have everything we want right away. Crazy world right?"

 

On the main topic, love your black tang top with the the dead lifting trash panda. It's adorable.

I'm now wearing stretch bell-bottom leggings a thermal turtleneck and a thin oversized sweater.

?Need to do my butt exercises or else there will be problems with movement.

Yeah, that was the safe answer. Other things that flitted through my mind:

 

"I'm sorry, but if I leave them at home, they cry."

"I assure you, balls had nothing to do with it."

"Where did these come from?!?"

 

Still, I'm a white woman from the Midwest. We're not all that confrontational most of the time.

Part of my personal hate of just simply walking around alone in the city dressed female is pigheaded nutbags that think I don't take notice to there pathetic attempts to catch me with misogyny. I scared my dad once on the train cuz had the nastiest bitch face on simply because it keeps the majority of crazy asswipes away. Thing was I was relaxing and felt a dude plop ontop of me randomly, not the first time and it's rude, but it was just my dad thinking he was being cute...My looks are deceiving and I will be the rabbit from Monty Python's holy grail movie. City life guts your innocence quick and leaves you with lots of practice. Before you know it, you find yourself smiling like a wolf but it's not a smile, your fangs just constantly are on display.

Went to the laundromat; Denim skirt, black leggings with my black suede boots, and a very warm sweater.

Back home; swapped the sweater for a lighter shawl.

The advantage is mine then. As a trans-woman in her 50s, nobody is especially interested in approaching me. Also, the public transport in and around Detroit basically doesn't exist so getting creeped on while on a train or bus ride isn't likely. Just doesn't happen.

 

Then again, I can abduct 225 pounds and maintain it easily. I can crush a skull between my thighs like a robin's egg.

What I wore to work today. I was seeing how my new silicone breast forms fit and looked. I work as a delivery driver for Jimmy John's, but honestly I never took my parka off.

I'm apparently a fat 165-170 lbs at 5'2" but my family have heavy muscle density and tend to sink like stones unless we maintain swimming like sharks. Clothing that fits for me properly is hard to find generally.? Tend to stick to baggy look cuz I just curl up in the extra layers. Stretchy turtleneck thermals shirt and cargo pants are my jam.

OK, so you're more built like a friend of mine (she's a touch taller but until she told me I could have SWORN she was taller than 5'4"). Doesn't mean anything though, she's been practicing martial arts since junior high and could probably kill me if she wanted to. Then again, she has an intersex condition and is sporting more testosterone than I am on any given day. I've never seen anybody give her a hard time either, but she goes to a private martial arts gym so I imagine the etiquette is different.

? They look natural to me. Even with real ones, you need that Parka outside in the cold, it hurts less. My favorite coats are the ones that are like sleeping bags with arms and fur trim.

      good evening   good day at work today.  I did do some things a little out of normal but everything was completed successfully.  As I said earlier, the Asst Mgr was my second today.  I don’t think she was too happy about that.  Several customers asked her where Richard was her answer was the manager cut his hours.  Well that is only part of the story,  his hours were cut just like mine were and several others but in his case he made demands about his hours that couldn’t be met.  But instead of making some non complaining remark about it she made sure to lay it all on the manager, thus throwing the manager under the bus.  Similarly when asked why she hadn’t been at work early mornings, she said she was being punished by the manager.  Well that’s partly true, she wouldn’t do what the manager told her to do so she took her off opening.  But secondarily she didn’t have a car to drive temporarily.  You can’t open the store without a car because who ever opens has tasks that require them to leave the store, so it was  at least partly her own fault.  But she chose to throw the manager under the bus for that.  I think she is asking to be fired for insubordination.  And if the manager gets these conversations off the security tape tomorrow she just might get her wish.   im pretty close to being ready to take the asst position but there isn’t anyone ready to take over my job, at least not at our store.  I suppose the other shift lead could if she is able to work earlier shifts and if the other closers were just a bit more reliable.   Ive been wanting some homefried chicken.  We found a BBQ place not far away that had such a chicken but I is made fresh when ordered so it has a 30 minute wait.  It was worth the wait and the other things we tried were also good.  Another restaurant on the list.  At least half of what we ordered came home for another meal.   i get to sleep in tomorrow, I go to work at 1:30!   Willow

      It was nine thirty.  Saturday morning had rolled around more quickly than Taylor could believe.  She groaned, whined, thought of a million excuses why she should just stay in bed and knock the alarm across the room.  But it would still be going on, and so would the promise to Bob: when the gi came in, she would be in. There it was in its nice package, out where she could not miss it.  Why didn't she hide it?  She shook her head.   Up she got.  Sometimes you just do.  Her hair was a wreck. She patted it down and went to the bathroom.  Nine forty five. Shower later. No make up. She hated kara-tay especially at an ungodly early hour on a Saturday morning. Bagel. Instant coffee.  She was five minutes away when she realized she had forgotten the gi.  Back she went.   Into the dojo.  She had about five minutes to get the gi on.  She attempted to slip in unnoticed and go to the little restroom. Someone barked something out in Japanese or something, and there was a dead silence.  She turned to see what was going on. Both classes were getting into their lines, but everyone, including Bob, was bowing slightly. To her. Bob nodded, and she returned the bow.  Life started again. She was touched.   Bowing three times. Oath. Kata.  She was facing off with Judy as her partner.  Judy looked worried.   "Sometimes you just gotta pick yourself up and try again," Taylor told her. She nodded. "Let's do this."   Lunge punch and lower block.  They traded off like nothing had happened the last weekend.  Lunge punch and middle block. Lunge punch and upper block.  It was kind of like dancing. Taylor enjoyed it.  She wanted to learn more.  Brown-belt Maggie adjusted position of limbs and hips for both Taylor and Judy, telling them when she was about to do something: elbow up a bit".    "How'd you do?" Bob asked her later.  They had both gone home and showered. Now they were in a booth at a fast food place.   "I was kind of disappointed class ended. I was ready for more."   "That's my trooper."   "I'm not allowing you in my apartment until we are married," she said suddenly.   "You think I am a problem?"   "No.  I think you are safe. You passed the test  I am the problem here."   "Okay."   "What did the doctor tell you?"   "It's complicated.  More tests coming.  Like getting into college.  I got a letter back.  It seems there is this big fat M on my transcript and my current picture is not an M type picture.  I have to write a letter and send them notarized proofs and stuff. Just delays. This is a pain. Nothing cut and dried."   "I will say.  I'm glad I'm not transgender."   "Hah. You are pulled into my world.  You are involved in this stuff as much as I am, and, as you put it, of your own free will."   "You are worth it."   "I hope so."   "I know so."

      On the way back to her desk she was interrupted by six short, urgent conversations that had to be attended to. Then she slipped into the women's room and locked the stall door.  She took a deep breath, then another, and allowed herself to shake for five minutes,  Then deep breathing, ten in and ten out, stretch up, touch the floor, neck rolls and she was fine. She used the toilet and a woman knocked and said, "Taylor, are you okay?"   "Ready to conquer the world!"  on her way out she found her makeup was fine.  Three stalls, two sinks.  If she ever designed a women's room with three stalls, there would be four sinks, with plenty of space to plunk your stuff down between them.   She met a deferential Karen.  "Here is the branding I came up with," she said.  And she went back to working as hard as Brenda and Mary, who looked up worriedly and then went back to the proposal.   Shortly before 5:00 she received an email with the title Consolidation and Compensation.  In it she learned that the position of office manager was eliminated, and the current office manager was to become the chief executive officer. The former CEO, along with the CFO, the chief legal officer, and sundry staff, had been terminated, per the Board of Directors.  Effective immediately everyone would receive a base salary of $20,000 with a commission to be set by the individual's supervisor.  Each supervisor would be given a certain percentage to distribute.  Most functions they had been handled would be outsourced as needed.   "The question of what profit was made last year is frequent enough to be answered.  The company lost over 500,000 in fiscal 2023.  At this point further cuts are not anticipated.  We will be strategically adding positions that will enhance our profits. Hard work is expected of everyone."   Her two web guys had been complaining because their games had been remotely uninstalled.  After the memo came out they were absolutely silent.  That gave her an idea, and after an exchange of emails they were reassigned to maintenance out at the plant, effective tomorrow morning.  There were lots of weeds that needed pulling, if nothing else. That email went out after they left early, for the day.  The maintenance foreman was a no-nonsense type who did not tolerate slacking, and they would learn a thing or two.  This also freed up two spaces for her to put new people.

      So…I didn’t know your Facebook avatar was public. So, on my birthday, a couple people used a group avatar message to wish me a happy birthday…and now my Facebook friends can see a short video of my female avatar dancing with an old friend’s and another with my uncle’s avatars. So am I “Facebook out” now? 😬

      No, they are not. Truth wins in the end and this report is full of lies that poison the whole thing: see this: "Dr. Cass Backpedals From Review: HRT, Blockers Should Be Made Available it's said. Dr. Cass's latest statements are likely to cast more doubt on the validity of the study, which has come under fire for disregarding substantial evidence on trans care." https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/dr-cass-backpedals-from-review-hrt?publication_id=994764&post_id=143743897&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true I hope Dr. Cass wins The Mengele Award for it.

      Boyfriend and I went to a support group for spouses dating or married to a transgender person on Tuesday night for the first time.It was amazing meeting other couples like us.One was a genetic woman whom has been dating a transgender male for the first time and she is supporting his transition.Us,they were amazed by us agreeing on something we said,love and acceptance have brought us together

      By which I mean there is a cultural stereotype of what a man is, and one of what a woman is.  Even worse, of what a transgender person is.   You be you.   I read of a boy who thought he was a girl because he did not adhere to some (rather toxic) conceptions of what it means to be a man, so he decided he was a girl.  He was told he didn't have to conform to stereotype and got happy. "You mean I don't have to transition?" He didn't want to, and was relieved.   Once upon a time if you were transgender they told you either you transition or die.   Incorporate the best of what it means to be a man and the best of what it means to be a woman as much as you possibly can, and let the rest go.  Be fully human. Be alive. Don't conform to some cultural crud.

      Except for this thung thwister: Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb.

      You have given you and us a big clue right there.  I hope you have shared this observation with your Endocrinologist and are willing to take their advice about changing that behavior.    Non prescribed herbal or animal supplements can have a negative effect on your body's use of your available hormones.  Also, your genetics are going to be controlling what your body is going to do with your hormones, and again, that is for you to consult with your Endocrinologists.  On this site none of us are licensed medical personnel and we cannot give you advice on your health more than what your doctor can.  We have rules that we enforce against our members advising about "Folk Remedies" because we have had members who have gone that route and badly damaged their health and quality of life.  Only thing I can go anywhere on, is that maybe if you change your expectations of what should happen, you will at least not be in danger of harming yourself from anxiety.

      Hi lovely people,   I'm a 25 yo MtF woman, and I've been suffering from low estrogen issues since October 2023. I completely lost my feminine libido, my breast completely stopped growing, my estrogen levels dropped by a lot (despite NOT decreasing my E dosage) and thus my dysphoria drastically increased. I think it is worth mentioning that, for my health issues, I had been taking ----- Lamotrigine for months & had been on ketogenic diet, and these things seem to be a culprit of my current issue. I weaned off Lamotrigine some time ago and gave up on keto diet, but it still doesn't seem to help. My estrogen is still low (44 ng/ml) and my libido hasn't come back yet. In general, I struggle with my dysphoria so much because of that and, to be honest, I don't know what to do. I've tried so many dietary supplements, yet I didn't get any effects from them. My endocrinologist didn't know how to help me. She only suggested to increase my daily estrogen dose (to 3x per day ------sublingual estrogen tablets and 3x per day ------ estrogen gel applied to armpits or thighs), which I did, without any effect.   Please, help me. Prior to keto diet & Lamotrigine treatment, I'd never had experience like that. I'm basically helpless and have no clue what to do. Having to deal with low estrogen is a horrible experience to me and it affects my life severely.   BTW, my T levels are always within female range.   Do you have any clue what exactly I should do?
