What are you wearing today?

Today I'm just hanging out with nothing much to do that needs to be done.

I picked this outfit to blend in with my friends back there, and look a little electrifying. 

I do play them, mostly rock. You know something? I really don't know what drove my wife crazier, me being

Linda, or me trying to play guitar

Loving that frock Niamh.  Where did it come from?

 

Im in need of a couple of new summer dresses. If we get a summer that is.

Hi MIB,

 

I originally saw these beautiful 1950s style dresses in a local shop and was going to buy one just before Christmas to help a local shop keep going, but when I went in they didn't have the dress in my size, and then we went into lockdown. When I saw the distributors of these dresses were having an online sale I couldn't help myself. The dress I would have paid £60 in the shop was selling for £25. It is a lovely quality satin dress, and just feel so lucky I get to wear these openly. Can't wait to go to a summer party in it. but I do feel very sorry for the local shop. My daughter offered to by me a dress there sometime so hopefully I'll still get them some trade.

I love you dresses and would love to copy some of your style but I don't think it would look nearly as good on me.

that's the beauty or A-Line dresses, they can do wonders for me by covering up my apple shape (big fat belly), but equally can work on a smaller frame. I have 3 or 4 50s  style dresses which flare out from just below the boobs. I also wear The first couple I bought from Amazon and were very inexpensive - and if you are a Prime member they can usually be returned without question after trying them on. In the end this latest dress was the same price as the last Amazon one I got. I also wear a layered petticoat/underskirt under it such as this:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Petticoat-Underskirt-Vintage-Rockabilly-Crinoline/dp/B00YGMGGGA/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=Retro+50s+Underskirt&qid=1615654721&sr=8-4

Love the Les Paul! oh, and you look great too. lol.  A former hobby of mine was making guitars. I've made a few LPs and even wound my own humbuckers.  The guitars sound amazing in other people's hands. I can't play worth beans.

I was about to take off what was left of my makeup and get ready for bed. Then I felt unbelievably cute. I'm not wearing anything I haven't showcased before, but I can't understand how happy I am feeling at this moment.

When you feel cute, you just gotta share!  It's amazing how happy we can be when our world is aligned

Well if you can't, I can. Grumble. Grumble. Everybody gets nicer curves than me.

@ElizabethStar I can see the curves also. Very jealous. Elizabeth, I know you've mentioned before but I don't remember when so please forgive me, but how long did you say you have been on HRT? I'm dying for my curves and I know they take longer than the 6 months I've been on HRT. I know being fat doesn't help but knowing how good your doing in the amount of time youv'e been on HRT kinda gives me an idea when I can expect to look like you. Yeah I really am jealous. I want everything right now.. lol

Thanks. I have a bit to go before I see any real difference. Well I do have breasts, but that came because I am really fat and not because of the hormones.

 

I keep telling my endocrinologist that I want progesterone but he says that there is no proof that it helps with building a more feminine figure. He has even said it won't hurt to take it and at first he said that if I wanted to take it he would give it to me, but then acts like he doesn't want to. He just upped my spiro to twice the amount. I've heard that large amounts of spiro and cause problems. Well since he doesn't want to give it to me I've been looking into finding another doctor. If I'm not getting the care I think I need, I'm going to find a doctor that will provide me with what I think I need.

 

I'm thinking about asking to switch to injections, I hear the estrogen works better through injections.

I have brought this up with my endocrinologist but he doesn't seem to want to prescribe it for me.  Funny thing is, my previous clinic gave me progesterone but wouldn't give me E.

I still have some of the meds, and sometimes think about helping myself.  But I don't want to go against my doctor.

I've heard that it would help get me a bit more volume up there.  But, the girls are quite real, and I should be (and really am) satisfied with that.

Yup, definitely.

 

We'll get out curves too @HollyNoel. Just hang in there!

So I can assume that I wasn't the only one who had to immediately compare themselves in the mirror looking for curves? ?

Spent 4+ hours in an online course today, so I didn't dress up much. One of my favourite shirts from my boy days that I'm sure I won't simply get rid of. Sadly, not as curvy as some girls but happy just the same. ?

I've got several of those. A couple are upwards of 20 years old.

Jackie I have a bunch extra if you need some curves.

 

It's probably my dysphoria talking. Strangers read me as a woman... but I'd still like to be more curvy. My weight always goes STRAIGHT to my belly instead of where I want it.

 

Yeah @Drayse, I spend a lot of time looking at myself in the mirror while I'm at the gym. Most days I'm OK (hey, I worked HARD to look as good as I do) but when I see the other girls... I get a little jealous.

 

Hugs!

For real curves you need Hips and sadly we just dint have the pelvis for it.

 

I use to desire to be more curvy. Ok so i have some but amd never going to be Miss body of the century.

 

I would normally consul myself by looking at female atheletes. Runners are practically straight down. Its all in the build you know.

 

Be thankful for what you have.  Its the only path to happiness.

 

On a brighter note I still have more curves than some of my born female freinds. So it is what it is.

Yes i get that to. So in reality we are curvy just not necessary in the right profile.

I wasn't mocking, girl. I was trying to say that I was looking hard for curves I didn't have. ?

No, I get it. Today was a good day. I could see hints of cleavage when I was doing one-arm rows and it made me euphoria. I'm ALWAYS looking for hints of curves that I don't really have. I mean it's better than it was (I train pretty hard), but genetics is not my friend.

 

Hugs!

Well this not what I'm wearing today. This is me some 15+years ago, wondering, what will I be wearing

15 years from now? Little did I know back then I would pack on 15 pounds to go with what I was wearing

15 years from then. Sigh.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      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?
