Very nice. Truly amazing how the background also matches your outfit.

So this is what I'm still wearing today, just a clearer picture.

Looking great ladies! @Bri2020, that skirt is out of this world.

 

Hey @ElizabethStar, I'm thinking tights are the answer.  There's a wide range of thickness and opacity.  The higher the "denier" number, the more opaque they are.  It's like wearing pantyhose, but feels like a little more armor for your legs.

Remember the saying Short enough to be a woman but long enough to be a lady does spring to mind.

I have some dresses that I wear in hot weather at home.  But I'm not sure I would wear them when out and about.  My youngest daughter tried to get me into something short awhile back.  I told her I needed to act my age.

I did that with one jean miniskirt. I put it on, said, "What are you doing?" and put it away forever.

 

Hugs!

Pantyhose don't last very long so once you find the brand you like buy a gross of them.

I generally go for the not so sheer brands they seem to last a lot longer.

Being short and fat it makes finding ones that fit  a PITA.

Larger sizes generally mean the intended wearers are taller and bigger so being 5'4" means there is very little choice for me as far as pantyhose goes.

Spanx makes some great support hose but they tend to be too thick to be called pantyhose.

It is interesting to feel like a teenager on the inside, but be in the body of a senior citizen.  It's a little insane sometimes.

All the talk/choices of skirts inspired me today.

it looks like it but may be fake.  It has the "weight" though.  Got it at a thrift store (like everything else I'm wearing except the shoes. lol)

I stopped off after work and up some cheap pantyhose. We'll see how it goes.

 

I got some outfit inspirations and coaching from a co-worker today. She's the one who gave some clothes a few weeks ago and has been very helpful, supportive and understanding considering she said she doesn't understand the "whole trans thing".

Well school her on what being trans is all about.

I have several real women GFs and they didn't understand at first but I explained a lot to them and they have become great friends.

Link to comment

What could be improved on? She treats me like any other woman. Has defended me from the guy at work who has a problem with my clothes. Even explained me to her mother as one of her girl friends and so much more. I would also rather show someone what it really is to be trans vs. explaining. She’s quickly becoming a good friend and Ally.

I think you are right so there is no need to explain anything.

She sounds like a great friend.

I have a few female friends like that and gender really doesn't come up in conversation.

They treat me like any other girl friend.

I said that just in case she asked questions about it.

Me again. Today I'm just hanging out in my basement again.

I chose this outfit today because well, I just wanted to. 

I did how ever tried to put some sort of theme for today.

Tuesday is elecrolysis day and I just couldn't get motivated to doll up with all the whiskers to it's "yoga day" for work attire.  I stole back my new top from my wife and just some loose leg yoga bottoms and sneakers.  Couldn't bother with the hair so just pulled it up and clipped it. I did at least put a necklace on. lol

It seems to never end.  90 minutes a week for last 5 months.  Today I go to my dermatologist and she shoots up my lip with lidocane and then I rush over to my electro lady who spends the whole 90 minutes on the upper lip.  I can't take it any other way.  Taking forever.........My chin is pretty clear now and most of my cheaks is just the straglers, although there always seem to be straglers.  My goal is face complete before FFS in December. I will still have the whole neck to do after that though (and straglers it seems. lol). I can't do laser being redhead.

BTW, I love your outfits and coordinated shoe choices!

Yes the upper lip...I did really good on that part....until....UNDER THE NOSTRILS 

Damn lightning bolts going up your nostrils and then your eye and into your brain echoing about....

Electrolysis can be very painful at times, other times it is just pow pull. Gosh the things we put ourselves through.

      So, I jumped on the "E" train last week and am about 10 days into my HRT journey. I have the tiniest patch available. I laughed when I opened it. "This little thing is supposed to give me more feminine characteristics?"   I haven't really felt much of anything so far, not that I expected to at this point. I am really, really tired but that may be other factors (like staying up too late to watch NCAA basketball every night). The one noticeable difference is that my libido seems to be a lot more subdued. Not that I am proud of this, but the big M was a practically a daily part of life for me. My daily comfort and way to get an endorphin hit or just deal with loneliness. The past week, though, has been, "meh." Is that the HRT tamping things down? Or just a normal down cycle for me? Not sure yet. Time will tell.   I have been very quiet about things overall. Only a few people know. No one in my immediate family. I fear the backlash I will get when they find out. Worst- case scenario, my daughters stop talking to me. That would kill me. I hope I can show them over time, "See, I am still me."   Met with my endo on Wednesday. He is good for me to up the dose when I feel comfortable. For now, I think I am going to stand pat and take things nice and slow. Of course, I could see myself tomorrow asking him to send in the script for the higher dose...   I keep asking myself, what is the end game with all of this. Unlike many on here, I don't have a concrete answer yet. I am not convinced I will "go all the way" and change my name and ID, etc. Part of me would love to soldier on just as I am but with a lot more feminine physical characteristics and a more distinctly feminine wardrobe. What does that make me? Non-binary? Not sure.  Again, I am just me, as unorthodox as that is...   All I know is that this is something I want to do. I am comfortable walking this path for now. Again, we'll see. As always, would appreciate any feedback the more experienced folks may have. Blessings to all!    EasyE

      I grew up with it, my mother's side were Germans.  I still like cabbage.  I make a sweet/sour dish with vinegar and brown sugar, add some bacon if you have it.  And in warmer weather, slaw.  I like that better if it's a few days old, and has worked off a little.

      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

      In the warmer weather, Mine is hitting the road on the bike. Just me, the bike, and the road. Other is it music or working on one of my many projects.   Kymmie

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

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      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.
