@Niamhthat's an amazing look!

 

As promised I wore the new "jeans dress/tunic" I found at the designer consignment place yesterday in the $10 sale.  It's a Michael Kors !  My wife already stole my athleta top SMH. Her response was this is why I'm so happy you transitioned. lol. With her permission I added her to this post to show you what I hope someday to wear myself haha.

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

Hugs!

I'm still in my pj's. It's 5pm and there's no point in changing.

 

I've had days like that. I've also had days when the only reason I got dressed is because I needed to wash my pjs. Today is my one hoodie and a pair of boot-cut jeans. I haven't showered since Thursday and I feel gross. Definitely showering before bed tonight.

 

Hugs!

I can honestly say I've never had a PJ day haha. I have Border-Collies requiring six walks a day, the first at 4:30 in the morning. I'm so paranoid about beard growth, so its full makeup or nothing. I will admit to not bothering today, just pulling on some man-clothes and kept my hood up, ignoring the world.

Drayse, they were secondhand Ebay specials. I did have to redo the heels as they were worn out. A bit of glue and some heel rubber off ebay and they are all good. I think in the end they cost me $45 Aussie dollars.

Since I know nothing about womens fashion brands is Vince Camuto any good ?

They feel great and I loved the fact I didn't have to go through the pain of wearing them in ... LOL

What are some thoughts about nylons and pantyhose? I have a couple of short skirt outfit ideas in my head and want to wear something nicer than leggings underneath.

I would totally wear that outfit Robin. You look great. I need to jump into the bracelet game. I love yours.  I've borroed some jewelry from my wife since she loves my tastes and gets to steal mine too but none of her bracelets go over my hand/wrists.  I'm on my own there I guess.  Your Camuto boots are considered a good brand. Not an elite brand but when you find them new in reputable stores they sell for around $125-$150 American $. Once they are a year removed you can find them in the outlet stores for $70s US so $90 Aus.  Great find!  I also love the way your sleeves gather on that top.  Well done, I hope we see more of your fashion on this thread

Absolutely need them in your wardrobe.  I have basic nude and a pair of black that have a little pattern.  I wear control top to help with my belly. Side note, they help keep things in place with tucking without using gaffs. Treat them well and they last a reasonable time. They will inspire you to maintain uncaloused heels   lol

Do it Liz. I wager you would rock a little skirt and pantyhose. Maybe some nice heels to complete the image.

 

I do have one reservation. When you say short. How short do you mean? Remember the saying Short enough to be a woman but long enough to be a lady does spring to mind.

One of my wife's biggest concerns when I started getting a woman's wardrobe was "age appropriate". lol. Her spouse support group kept telling her '"Be prepared for her to make teanager clothing choices"   I guess the tendency is since we are newer to the clothing scene and have suppressed ourselves for so long we tend to go "hyperfeminine".

That's a very good question. It would be mostly with a mid-skirt that hangs about mid-calf. The one I'm wearing a few pages back. I'd like to wear it with booties. I have a pleated mini that hangs about mid-thigh. Realistically, it might be too short for me (I still have something to hid) and last, two t-shirt skirts. I also see some dresses in my future so who knows. Actually, I lied, I have a dress, hanging in my closet. I was given to me, it's a little on the classy side so I don't know when I'd wear it.

Bri we have all done it. Im no exeption to the rule. If you want/need to pass as the phrase goes (I hate that term but it seems to be used often by others) then being 50 coming on 18 is not the way forwald. Its just a matter of not sticking out and dare i say being the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons. Your wife  has been given good advise there and I would have advised the same. In an ideal world you can wear whatever you want but as we all know this is not an ideal world.

As above what i typed out to Bri. You can still wear a skirt. But be a woman and a lady about it. Look what suits you age and rock it as i know you will.

 

 

 

Im no fashion Guru just a woman that is wise to the world. I think ?

      https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/mar/18/science-knowledge-gap-trans-healthcare     I like the reference to "trans broken arm syndrome."  I've experienced it myself.  The more research, the better, certainly.  The problem as I see it, especially concerning reports in the popular press, is that preliminary results are often used to "prove" someones POV, or are misunderstood or used in a political way.  That is never helpful, and it isn't confined to reporting on trans health care issues.  For example, how many times have we read or heard about studies that "prove" coffee is bad, or chocolate is bad, or eggs are bad, etc., only to read weeks or months later that the opposite is true?  In the case of trans health care, it all gets politicized, too.   Carolyn Marie

      I just finished the intake forms for an online informed consent clinic through Plume and im both nervous and excited to meet with my provider next week via video chat. I'm worried I will be turned down and cannot get a prescription for a variety of reasons. I was asked so many invasive questions during intake, which I knew would happen. I worried about what I should leave out, how honest I should be, what could be something that would deny me a prescription. I've been fighting with myself for a long time and now that I have opened myself up to hoping for change, I am so scared of having the carrot dangled in my face only to be ripped away.    And a part of me is scared of starting testosterone. I'm even more scared of inaction. Of not at least trying it and seeing how I feel about the changes. If I don't try it, I will never know, and I will be stuck in the loop of questioning whether or not it is right for me until I am filled with regrets for chances not taken rather than opportunities I've pursued.     Has anyone here ever felt fear and apprehension about staring HRT? How did you get over that fear? How do I know in my heart if this is right for me when I am always running through all of the endless possibilities of good and bad results?

      In keeping with @VickySGV's train of thought, here are links to a couple of Canadian legal resources.  I hope these can help you, as you do seem to need it.   https://justicetrans.org/en/resources/   https://www.courthouselibrary.ca/how-we-can-help/our-library-services/lawmatters-public-libraries/lgbt-legal-resource-round   https://www.halco.org/our-services/trans-legal-needs-assessment-ontario   BTW, welcome to Transgender Pulse, hon.  You are safe here.   Carolyn Marie

      An option?  Sure.  When you come right down to it, everything except food/water/shelter is optional.  Life can be very basic....brutally basic.  Life can even be so bad that one's gender issues or sexuality are the farthest thought from your mind, at least for a while.  You can "play pretend" successfully for years or a lifetime, with nobody suspecting that your true self is different from the gender you were assigned at birth.  All kinds of choices, and its up to each person to decide which choices are more comfortable and less destructive to self and others.     From what I have learned, transition is a spectrum.  There's no one single way to do it, and your way may look very different from how a friend does it.  Some people go to great lengths with surgery.  Others are like me an my friends, non-op by choice or other circumstances.  You can do a whole bunch of stuff in a short time, or the process can take years.  I don't see it as a black-or-white kind of choice, but a progression towards authenticity and comfort.

      I buy online occasionally, but I'd much rather try something on in the store to know if it fits or how it looks.  I'm not sure this is actually "shopping across the aisle" since I often shop for women's clothes dressed as a woman (but not always).  That said, I have had great success finding amazing deals on the discount racks at department stores.  I never buy anything at retail in fact, I usually only purchase when an item is seriously discounted.  Macy's, Nordstrom's, and Dillards clothes are extremely pricey, but you can find some amazing deals on the sales racks.  In Macy's last year, I bought a $300 dollar gown for $45 and just last week I found a really pretty and very feminine sweater on the Macy's rack for $16.99.  The original tag price was $89.00.  My experience is that department stores tend to sell higher quality clothing, which means you can find some great stuff when you shop their sales racks.   I have found some great things at Goodwill myself.  And in the interest of full-disclosure, I have given a lot new or nearly new women's items to Goodwill as well.

      Discovered this recently as well... you have to be more of a hunter because it isn't always obvious what the sizes are... at least the store near me organizes fairly well by color and such ... found a nice pair of khakis and a nice white skort, though also found a few shirts that when I got home, yikes, way too tight... 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Wow.  To borrow things and break them... that's what we call a "USDA A-Grade Crap Filet."  Most mechanics hate it when others borrow their tools...or even touch them.  And that's with permission.  Without permission?  My GF would probably put somebody in the hospital for that.    And definitely, if they gotta borrow something multiple times...better be buying their own when that paycheck shows up.  At least get the Harbor Freight version.  Most of their stuff ain't that bad. 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      You might not think of it, but Goodwill has a TON of stuff.  I guess a lot of women buy clothes, hardly wear them, and then give them away when they get bored.  I've seen name brand stuff there for $3 or so.  You can always take a look...looking is free.  One of my friends is good with a sewing machine, and she gets stuff that's a bit bigger, then adjusts the fit.  Easier to subtract fabric than add 😄   I shop across the aisle, but for boy things.  And believe it or not, its actually more difficult if you're looking for something super cheap.  Thrift stores...most of the stuff for boys is worn out.  And being small, its super tough to find things in my size.  Even shorts, jeans, and t-shirts... good luck finding them in size "tiny fox."  Everything is made for Big and Tall.  6ft plus, built like a brick outhouse....Manly!  My husband complains since he's not 6ft tall, and if he has a tough time finding clothes that fit, its practically impossible for me.

      When I worked as a mechanic in a truck shop. The standard saying was: If you have to borrow a tool more than three times, you need to buy one of your own.    Blue collar hands,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Finally found out boss did fire a co worker I hated.A mechanic and I was one of 3 mechanics fixing his screw ups.Plus he would go into other other mechanic's toolboxes taking off with tools without asking.One was mine,one was a diesel compression tester kit of mine and broke the gauge part which I will have my Snap On dealer order me a new gauge tommorrow when he comes in

      Find and get in touch with the closest LGBTQ center near you and (1) they will know of programs that employ Trans people willingly and (2) will have ways to get you competent legal help to break you free of your family and their controlling and damaging behavior toward you.  I do not know Canadian Law on this, but here where I am you could get a court order to stop them from interfering in your life.  Gender Dysphoria is not a mental health issue that should keep you from managing your personal affairs.  The people at those centers know what we go through and are ready to help you.

      I'll try!     I still have no desire at all to start wearing skirts and dresses, and I don't have the curves to justify wearing women's jeans or slacks. I think the furthest I will go is maybe some pretty and androgynous tops one day. That's what appealed to me with the hoodie - it just looked so much nicer than any of those on offer from the men's department.

      Hello.   My name is not Shelli but for my safety i have to use this name here.   Im looking for advice.   In canada conversion therapy is illegal. My family has employed a psiciatrist to comversion therapy me covertly. I am 45 and the administrator of a wealthy families estate.   I have been fleeing this for about 7 years. It began by me having mtf grs. I was supposed to have ffs and top and vocal aswell. They allowed the bottom surgery. Then began getting social workers, the psyc and an accountant to slander me from town to town as i tried to get work and stablity in my life. I eventually went back to male atire to try and hide and restart transition. Each time they wojld find out where i was and it would start again.   I spoke out about it and now they claim i destroyed there lives by seeking help and that im an adult child since i cant get a job while they do this so that i cant as i would take control of the families fortune. They have had this psyciatrist diagnose me falsly with scizophrenia, upsetting me then bipolat, borderline, psicotic, and so much more. They have even tried getting me framed for crimes i never commited.   Im terrified, living in the woods, off hormones and even when i turn to the lgbt community in my area they have convinced many of them that im a trans man etc etc etc.   It never ends.   I would like to hear any advice.
