Feeling cute today! I love this cover so threw a cami top on beneath. NYDJ skinny jeans and ankle booties. Also wanted to show off the earring choice, they are relatively new and I love the silver spiral look.

@Drayse, if you have sewing skills it's easy to "bring it in" on T-shirts through the sides to give it the curved look in womens t-shirts.  A seamstress would probably only charge $5 to do it.

I do love looking here but sadly I don't get to wear any really cute clothes - just average things that are conservative as my wife is not far along in her acceptance AND I live in a very right wing part of the country and would fear for my safety.

You just need to road trip to my liberal hippie town and we can go shopping together Shay!

I forgot to post this one from last week, just to show that I am lucky and get to go out as Niamh in our local town. Most people smile and say hello - it's quite a friendly place and I usually pop in one of the shops either for a snack to take home or into one of the few places that are still allowed to open and have cosmetics on sale (I get through quite a bit!) There was a nasty cold wind, but I was nicely wrapped up :)

Why do people have this notion "liberal" areas are safer/ more accepting than "conservative" areas in the case of trans people?

I have been in both extensively and found people in so called conservative areas are very accepting even more so than liberal areas.

Northern Ohio (Cleveland) were very nasty and rude to me,New Jersey the same way, Maryland the same way.

Macon Ga, In the mountains of eastern Ky , western West Virginia people were kind and very respectful. Yes the so called "good ol boys" Were nice as they could be.

My point is go out dressed as any woman would.Dress for the occasion or event if you want.

The ones that attract attention are the ones that dress like hookers basically. I haven't seen any ladies here that dress that way so I am not referring to anyone here.

Dress for attention OK but you better be ready to handle what comes at you because it will.

I went thru my phase of "hey get a load of me in my mini skirt and sexy hose" and I got my share of trouble trust me.

HRT was very good to me because I had developed quit well.

My wanting to "show off" got me in trouble.

I'm glad that you were able to find good people @Teri Anne. ? Ultimately that's what matters, not some political button.

I have to agree with you on this.

The "preview button" is no longer there? And cannot 'edit' posts . . 

 

 

@Jackie C. couldn't agree more! Lose the "belly fat"  . . by working on the abs . . and the hourglass "hip shape" will appear? I too get jealous upon looking at certain other women but but . . then again, they usually not as T A L L as I which, being somewhat intimidating for men, renders a slight figure even that more important? 

Contrary to popular gender theory I feel "a woman" is solely defined by her ability to exude an explicit sexuality?

Ab work won't reduce belly fat though, but if spot reduction were a thing that would be awesome! ?

 

All you can do is maintain appropriate calorie levels, exercise to build lean muscle mass and hope your genetics will allow belly definition at safe body fat levels. Not all of us girls will ever achieve washboard abs. I know I don't have them.

I feel like a soccer mom today. I ended putting my hair in a high ponytail, really completed the look.

Happy St Paddy's Day. This is MY HOLIDAY. lol.  Usually I'm at the pub for kegs and eggs by 7am.  In a non covid situation I close my clinic and take the staff out to the pub for a very long lunch and we celebrate the year and friendships.  This is my first year as Bri and I'm a bit bummed I will be working since Pub crawls are very off limits.  That doesn't mean I can't feel like I'm celebrating so this morning I'm cooking my own fried breakfast, having a little home made irish whiskey in my coffee and then heading to work. I hope to have my neighbors over for a corned beef /taters/cabbage dinner out on our patio by the fire tonight.  I found an old "velcro" kilt that fits me again (it's from 15 years ago and I "out grew it" for quite a while.)  Now that I'm skinnier again....   I think it pairs nice with the tights and big belt.  Tied the hair back with green ribbon.

I like that! I dressed up today too, but it was mostly because I just wanted to look pretty. Today's outing is the allergist. Whee.

 

Hugs!

I finally got out of my PJs into a multi-color long sleeve yoga top, gray t-shirt skirt and sleepy socks.

What am I wearing today? Well it is an outfit I've posted before but hey, this time a different pose!

Oh and I used clear nail polish this time and changed my hair and make up. So, in my book, this is a new post.

So if that is all I have to worry about, then things are going good!

I really enjoy being here and meeting you all. 

Take care and may-be see you at the coffee shop.

The Cleveland area as a whole really isn't liberal per se anyway. It's a very even mix.

 

And yes, unfotunately there are a lot of really nasty people around here. Although I do know from personal experience (non-trans related though) that at least around the Cleveland areas I'm familiar with, there does (very unfortunately) tend to be a high correlation between Cleveland's rural areas, conservative political leaning, and general intolerance and rudeness. But of course, there are always exceptions, too, and I'm glad to hear it doesn't always extend to other parts of the country.

I have run into rude people in a lot of different areas of the country but in general liberal people are less accepting because if you differ from them you are for some reason not as good as they are.

I have family in the Washington DC area and they tend to think down on me because because I accept people and support the trans community.

Well, I just went to a store like this, and I think I picked up a creepy guy who kept turning up behind me.  Although, once I ditched him, I found it a little affirming.

I think we have a tendency to judge an area by a few experiences we've personally had.  I live in the DC area (20 minute SW) and it's pure liberal. 90% democrat.  I am VERY visible being out FT and I don't shy away from any social interactions, am the face of my biz, networking etc and I would say 99% of my interactions are positive if not affirming.  I had one rude experience picking up a pizza and some homeless people made a few comments when I would ask them to stop panhandling in front of my business.  I am sure there are more intolerant people in the area but by and large, this region is very accepting.  Now- the anti_MAGA sentiment is vocal and rude here so yes, being different in that way gets reactions.

 

@Ann WI'm happy it turned out to be affirming but do take care. With the headphones make sure you can hear people. Thieves/creeps take advantage of being able to sneak up on people playing music loud with headphones.   Cute purse

I often wonder if the way we feel about a certain area of the country has more to do with our own comfort level and personal experiences than the general tolerance level of the people there.  Since I retired from the military, I have lived in Pittsburgh, PA, Cleveland, Ohio and now Northern New Jersey.  I had very positive experiences in Pittsburgh and here in NJ, so my take is that these areas are more accepting.  Conversely, I had an unpleasant experience at a restaurant in Cleveland and after that, never felt very comfortable.

 

I guess what I'm saying is that we shouldn't make assumptions, especially based on only one or two observations or experiences.  Still, I won't deny that some areas can trend towards populations that are trans friendly or trans insensitive.

So today I had 2 Teams meetings and joined the video calls as Niamh. This was what I was wearing and how the other team members saw me...

Today I'm wearing a white sheer blouse and polka dot skirt. The skirt is fully lined and has an elastic waist band.

Gosh I love the elastic, no more hooks and zippers, and the way my mid section is growing, elastic is perfect.

Hope all have a nice day.

I have an elastic peasant skirt. I love it, but I need to have it taken in. It was a loose fit 100 pounds ago. Now... well, I need to safety-pin the waist in about six inches if I want it to stay put.

 

Hugs!

      I went to WM today with the objective of buying sandals: they would be women's, but look like men's; they would be brown or black, not white.  I realized the cheapest way to go  was to go for flip-flops, which I observed were prevalent in the store. So I checked out the women's.  Flowers. White shiny straps. Nothing that could possibly be men's. The best deal was one flip flop for $3.98.  At first I thought that was a pair, then, nope.  And because I comparison shop (is there the same thing in men's?) I found the cheapest over there was $6.98 for a pair of flip flops in green that also match my women's cargo shorts that I love.  Doing the math, finding the pink tax.  Rip off.  I have found a blue tax this way, but usually they charge women more for something than they do men. I guess women tend to lose one flip flop at a time or something. Weird.  The pairs were a lot higher.   So, following my rule, but unhappy with it, I bought the green men's flip flops.  They were the cheapest.  Later wife of mine complimented how masculine I look in my matching shorts and flip-flops.  Inward groan. We have not discussed the Subject in a long time because I think she forgets it is there as soon as the conversation ends.  Or she is trying to talk me out of this.  Not sure.  We only discuss it when necessary, and how often do most couples discuss whether one spouse is one sex or the other? Outside of here, I mean.  So we very seldom talk about it and she is happier if she does not know about it. Super stealth.  I do the laundry and I shower in the shower in the wing away  from the master bed room so I have my own shower.

      I'm very glad that everything worked out even better than you thought. It's a tough spot to be in and I know the exact feelings. I'm still waiting to apply for divorce under abandonment so I officially can meet someone who one day I can call someone my prince or my queen. Although the desire for someone is fading because of everything. it's even more amazing that she was your high school sweetheart! Looking forward to the next entry.

      Awww thanks for listening everyone. I have another 5-6 songs in this style that I started recording at the same time, so hopefully I’ll finish the next release soon.   Yes, exactly. Everything was easier about this project, mainly because it felt authentic. The energy was very different, because it was such a pleasure to express myself without a filter. I laughed a lot.

      Thanks for listening @Mmindy.   You’re welcome @April Marie. I think Sally Can’t Dance is an underrated album.

      Well I had an interview with the local Ford Dealership for an opening in the parts dept. It sounded positive. I was told I would here by tomorrow morning.    Other than that just sticking around the house. I haven't done much, the weather is cold and yucky. Doesn't look like good weather till Sunday. Maybe tomorrow I'll fire up the heater in the garage and see about getting the other brake hose put on the Explorer.   Have a good rest of your day/evening.   Hugs, Kymmie

      Maybe they called me he/him at the dealership because I completely forgot my mascara! Eyeliner without mascara…a bold new trend among the helplessly lost! :)   Fixed that!

      Ah. Email from Gibson. [it was actually less legible than this, as he didn't use punctuation, it was all caps, and he ran all his words together. Taylor was used to it.   T - As everyone was under my super. this last year, don't worry about the evals. I will handle it. Send all email about new proposals to me, your unit handles work under way.  You will be involved but the first step is those go to me. Thanks   Here is an outline of what questions I want to see answered tomorrow.  Feel free to just jot down your thoughts.  If you don't know, say so and maybe point to how we can find that out............   Your new position will seem very challenging for a while but I am sure you can handle it.  Everyone has the utmost confidence in you.   PS your performance evaluation will be stellar, as reflected in your new position and compensation.  You get 100. One less thing to worry about.   Taylor sent him 45 emails right after that, gave some thought to the questions, and then had to turn to one of the proposals under way and review it.  That done, she read through the personnel files on her people so she would better understand them and what they could do. There was a very thin folder with her name on it.  It had one piece of paper on it. On it was written "the best!".  The others were thicker but didn't take long either, and she returned to answering the questions.
