I was just wondering if you were going to wear shoes to the doctor.

Sh...oos? What are sh...oos? ?

 

Of course, but they're going to have to be my snow runners. I'll take a last image before heading out the door tomorrow to prove it. lol.

 

Thanks for the compliment as well. ?

Good morning and thank you for sharing your clothing options with us. I'm with @Vanessa Michelle on this thread, and can't wait until my closet is full of women's wear. @Teri Anne thank you for encouraging patience, it helps.

 

Hugs,

There is no reason to rush and when you feel the time is right then go for it. It's a decision that only you can make.

What I will say is the day you decide to venture out you will wonder what took you so long LOL

Just so you all know, I did wear shoes today. Well, my snow boots. See image below. After my appointment I went grocery shopping, still dressed up, went to the lawyer's to sign a revision to the divorce agreement and then went to the new thrift shop in town where I was boring and only bought a fabric belt so I can get rid of my leather one.

 

I can't express how liberating and gratifying it was to just get out there as myself. I was so happy. But now I have to get ready for work and don the boy clothes, but this too shall eventually change.

So glad you had the opportunity to get out and be yourself.

The ladies in the thrift store I go to all the time know me by name and treat me like any other female.

Come to think of it I don't think any of them know I was born male.

Thats because I never felt the need to tell them otherwise.

Being trans is hard enough and I made a decision years ago not to mention it and demand they accept me like some trans people do.

One quick way to start trouble for yourself is demand things from people. Just walk in do your business and be friendly.

@Niamhooh those boots!!!!

Speaking of boots. I had some time to kill yesterday and just happened to be next to a DSW and found these on the clearance rack.  I promised my wife to hold off on more shoes until our finances catch up a bit and it was VERY hard to not walk on out with these for only $48.  Not often you find inexpensive size 12 boots that fit well and look good.  I was a good girl though ;'(

Oh hey @Drayse! I just bought a pair of waterproof boots for snow-stuff myself. Naturally they'll arrive well after the snow hits tonight.

 

@Bri2020, I like those boots too! That's a nice heel too. I want some. I guarantee they don't come in size Sasquatch, but I'd definitely wear those.

 

@Teri Anne, I completely agree. I don't feel the need to stuff being trans down anybody's throat. I'll wear my flag mask to the gym occasionally, but allies are allowed to wear the colors too. It honestly never occurred to me to be in anybody's face about it. I'm trans. I'm trying to live my best life. I am a skinny bitch (seriously, I'm built like a popsicle stick) and none of it involves spectators.

 

Hugs!

Bri I would jump on those boots they are too cute.The heel is perfect for me.

Jackie the way I look at it me being trans is my business and not some sort of  thing I have to tell anyone. Oh sure some people figure it out  but by that time its a moot point.

I understand some feel the need to tell everyone they know but sometimes that causes more problems.

Thanks.... Now I think I need another pair of boots. Actually, I know I do. I’m still hung up on high heel hiking boots. 


I just don’t understand why some people have such a strong need to make sure everyone knows they’re trans when they would probably pass if they kept their mouth shut about it. I just want to blend in and be treated the same as other women, not special. But that’s me.

Blending thats the key word in the whole thing IMO.

I think the younger crowd just wants to stand out or prove a point or something. I think they put too much emphasis on identity.

I was talking to a young trans girl at a PRIDE event and she commented on my attire being too plain and I told her I didn't know being trans was a competition and that I wasn't trying to impress anyone..

Whelp, the youngest trans-girl I know personally is 27 and she's not like that at all. She's like me; perfectly content to live her life as a woman. Well, and maybe a little, "And find some flattering clothes that fit." Cis-women deal with that too though.

 

Which brings us back to the boots. Why can't I find those in a 13? Why!?!?

 

Hugs!

I think non passing trans are great and probably normalize trans and even non passing cis people.

I think just being you passing or non passing is fine.

As long as you are happy and living your life the way you want.

I just got my new water-proof winter slip-ons! Glee! Now I'm much less likely to break my neck while shoveling snow.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.
    • Heather Shay
      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
