I think a pair of Bajoran earrings would work great with your look.

 

While cool, I'm going to be working with autistic kids. Not a good idea. ?

 

Hugs!

I reverted back to my Gothic roots today and got called adorable the moment I walked into work. 
 

Your work crew is turning out to be so nice and supportive.  BTW, my wife loved your last outfit with the cardigan and said you looked very cute in it and she would totally wear that.  (she didn't see your latest pic)

Quick lunch break shopping at the designer consignment shop across the street resulted in some jewelry and two tops. I plan on wearing one of the top tomorrow and will post a pic but here's my first set of dangling earrings. Hand made glass with silver chains/threader.

Thanks @Bri2020, that’s means a lot. I really like those earrings. I’m currently struggling with trying to wear hoops, mask and telephone headset. It’s slightly amusing but mostly painful.

I stopped with hoops. Masks just kept terrorizing them.  These work well because the "chain" is so long it pins them to my head and they still dangle right and don't get caught by the straps.  I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable they are.

Elizabeth, I love hoops, but you're right, masks make them painful to wear. I'm a determined girl, I don't care how painful, I will always wear my hoops, masks or not. lol

Out of curiosity, am I in a minority for embracing the bald?  Back in my early 20's I had a lovely multi-coloured Mo-hawk and cried like a baby when a dying accident took my hair away (Of course, a tough man hid that from everyone). But when I first started dressing, I felt really fake. And wearing a wig seemed to make that worse. I love a hat though!

 

 

This is my work look, at home I'm full Punk.

You look terrific.  With that angelic face bald works wonderfully on you.  I'm like Jackie, I have the wrong head for bald, among other things.

Wow! Thanks Sally. Angelic face?  Noone has ever said that about me before lol. Most of the family thinks I look evil haha. Now I just need to get back to the Laser hair removal when everything opens back up again her in the UK :(

Took this photo towards the end of a Zoom call this evening with some local Trans friends. We had all been drinking a bit more than we probably should, and as a consequence it was a great evening. Just waiting for the day when we can resume meeting in person.

Me too. I just try to remember sometimes beauty is pain.

Honestly, so am I. I'm trying to find a hairstyle that works for my facial features, but it needs to be short and feminine for my new job. Short because I'll be dealing with autistic kids and don't need a handle. Feminine because, well, I'm me.

 

Does anybody have a suggestion?

 

Hugs!

@Niamh I am in agreement with Elizabeth and Jackie, I absolutely love your hair. I wish I could pull of red like you can. So jealous!!!

Have you thought about a short pixie or even a long pixie.

I was actually thinking something along those lines, but I'm nervous. Stupid COVID. I used to be able to try things on in the store, now I have to guess and it's damaging my calm. ?

My new jeans with my old scarf. How is everyone?

I find your jeans very intriguing. Are they ruched at the the thigh or is that just the pattern? Also, what's on your scarf? My dark side thinks it's skulls.

Do you have an old wig you could try cutting up? Could give you an idea of what it would look like. I can't see giving a wig a haircut being any more difficult than at home dentistry.

Not anything that's got the right bits to it. I'm told that's about the right difficulty level for synthetics though. All kinds of things could be in there that you didn't consider. Fortunately they're not super expensive. I'm just concerned about framing my face so I look nice.

 

Hugs!

I have a pixie right now and I like it but I’m still trying to grow it out. I’m planning on getting it highlighted next week. It would be nice to put mine in a ponytail to get it out of my way but that is because of my hard hat.

Talk with a hairstylist about "if I had hair, what would be a great short look for a wig"?

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you
