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.

 

 

@NiamhI love your hair and am super jealous.

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"?

      I'm not sure the past is a sure guide to future needs.  LGB have no dog in the fight on public restrooms, for example.  That is T only, and only some T at that.

      When I appear on the radio and podcast it will be in discussion with a political scientist who will discuss those aspects. I’m focussed on the implications for kids and why the recommendations are flawed. But yes, I will probably briefly paint the political background.

      GFY, @Betty K. Don't forget to write about the motivations for the Cass Report, and who paid for its conclusions. "Cass Met With DeSantis Pick Over Trans Ban: Her Review Now Targets England Trans Care." — Erin Reed  And now its back to America, 'surprise, surprise.'

      Hi @Sol. Great to hear from you and your updates are all encouraging. Wonderful all the support you're now getting from your family and to hear you sounding so positive and hopeful. Career as an archivist sounds like a great path - sensible and not too specific, but endlessly fascinating at the same time. Not only do museums employ archivists, but so do many other institutions such as historical societies and universities. Your university may have its own archives which you could visit and learn about. Take care & be well!

      Hi @KathyLauren no worries!   I’ve only ever gotten a two-year degree in programming, and that one was just because I existed in the U.S. Air Force as a coder long enough to qualify for all of the technical credits, then I just took CLEP and DANTES tests to get the rest.   Most of my work has been in the security arena, lots of C/C++. Worked as a Red Hat hacker for a few years, and spent a few more years in gov’t spaces.

      Hi, Amanda.  Your story sounds quite familiar, though my pesky body part didn't need the attention of a urologist.  You are in good company here!
    • KathyLauren
      Oops.  Sorry, @AmandaJoy, I see you have already posted an introduction. 
    • KathyLauren
      Hi, @AmandaJoy.  Welcome to Trans Pulse.  Be sure to check out the various forums and join in any threads that interest you.  We'd love to read all about you in the Introductions forum.   -----   I started programming in Dartmouth Basic in high school back in the early 1970s.  I did my degree in Computer Science.  After a brief stint in the "government flying club" (RCAF), I worked as a programmer-analyst and systems analyst for about 25 years.    I am retired now, but I still enjoy programming.  I write a lot of the code for my astrophotography observatory.

      WOW HAS IT BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE UPDATED!!! Welp, I'm updating now, and it's been a lot of changes.  1. My mom is starting to come around a little (I think). She does refer to me more as her child now, and even offered to help me cut my hair so I think we're making a little progress. I'm still planning on going on T later and I'm gonna start saving up to buy trans tape (I can't wear binders because I have GERD), so hopefully the progress stays. My dad, sibling, friends, and my paternal grandparents have all been super supportive and I'm really lucky for that. My sibling also goes out of their way to introduce me as their brother and it makes me so happy :D 2. I've been socializing a lot more! Mostly on Discord, but I've made some new friends and I'm really happy about that!  3. I'm on birth control! I still need to go to the gyno but my GP got me on the depo shot and it's been working for me so far! My dysphoria has gone through a lot of ups and downs, especially around periods, but that source is pretty much gone now and I feel way better. I do have more dysphoria centered around my chest now but that's pretty easily fixed with baggy shirts most of the time.  4. I know 100% now that I'm hoping for a uterine ablation (cauterizing the uterine tissue so it doesn't grow) at some point in the future and it's likely something I'll have to save up for but from my research it's a lot less invasive and safer than a hysterectomy so I definitely recommend it if people are able to access it. I also know that after that, I want to save up for a reduction to combat the chest dysphoria, and I still like having it sometimes so I'll keep a bit of it (I'm shooting for an A cup, I'm a C cup currently).  5. I've been writing more and I've even got some ideas for art projects! I also got an Archive of Our Own account where I post my finished writing, and I'm starting a book project at my mom's urging (she said she wanted that as her Christmas present so I'm gonna try, might not get it done this year though). I haven't gotten to write much lately but I'm hoping to change that this month.  And finally, 6. I'm gonna be a college junior and I have a career path to pursue! I'm gonna be an archivist, hopefully working for a museum (not too specific on where, I just like museums).  So yeah, a lot of stuff has happened and it's been pretty good!

      Hi Thea!   Professional coder since ‘90, hobbyist since ‘83. C/C++, C#, Java, Ruby, Python, Ada, COBOL, Fortran, various flavors of BASIC. Love C, but it’s mostly been about Python recently.
