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!

      https://apnews.com/article/title-ix-sexual-assault-transgender-sports-d0fc0ab7515de02b8e4403d0481dc1e7   The revised regulations don't touch on trans athletes; which I totally understand, as that's become a third rail issue and this is an election year.  But the other changes seem pretty sensible, and will obviously result in immediate right wing lawsuits.   Carolyn Marie

      They may win a few battles but not the war! as @Davie pointed out there is little truth if it full of lies, inconsistencies, and ignores evidence to the contrary. I saw this article earlier and have to agree here. Truth will win. This isn’t the first time this tactic has been tried. Always stick with the truth!
    • Susan R
      Welcome @violet r! Glad you joined our forum and got through the hardest part…that first post. As many have mentioned, we are more than accepting here as we affirm your gender identity and hold no judgement, whatsoever. There’s so much here on this forum, I think you’ll find very helpful. If you have trouble finding an answer just reach out, try the search but starting a new thread is usually best to get some quick answers. Many are here for various transgender related issues but many, if not all, are here to help one another if we can. It’s great to have you onboard.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      good evening   good day at work today.  I did do some things a little out of normal but everything was completed successfully.  As I said earlier, the Asst Mgr was my second today.  I don’t think she was too happy about that.  Several customers asked her where Richard was her answer was the manager cut his hours.  Well that is only part of the story,  his hours were cut just like mine were and several others but in his case he made demands about his hours that couldn’t be met.  But instead of making some non complaining remark about it she made sure to lay it all on the manager, thus throwing the manager under the bus.  Similarly when asked why she hadn’t been at work early mornings, she said she was being punished by the manager.  Well that’s partly true, she wouldn’t do what the manager told her to do so she took her off opening.  But secondarily she didn’t have a car to drive temporarily.  You can’t open the store without a car because who ever opens has tasks that require them to leave the store, so it was  at least partly her own fault.  But she chose to throw the manager under the bus for that.  I think she is asking to be fired for insubordination.  And if the manager gets these conversations off the security tape tomorrow she just might get her wish.   im pretty close to being ready to take the asst position but there isn’t anyone ready to take over my job, at least not at our store.  I suppose the other shift lead could if she is able to work earlier shifts and if the other closers were just a bit more reliable.   Ive been wanting some homefried chicken.  We found a BBQ place not far away that had such a chicken but I is made fresh when ordered so it has a 30 minute wait.  It was worth the wait and the other things we tried were also good.  Another restaurant on the list.  At least half of what we ordered came home for another meal.   i get to sleep in tomorrow, I go to work at 1:30!   Willow

      It was nine thirty.  Saturday morning had rolled around more quickly than Taylor could believe.  She groaned, whined, thought of a million excuses why she should just stay in bed and knock the alarm across the room.  But it would still be going on, and so would the promise to Bob: when the gi came in, she would be in. There it was in its nice package, out where she could not miss it.  Why didn't she hide it?  She shook her head.   Up she got.  Sometimes you just do.  Her hair was a wreck. She patted it down and went to the bathroom.  Nine forty five. Shower later. No make up. She hated kara-tay especially at an ungodly early hour on a Saturday morning. Bagel. Instant coffee.  She was five minutes away when she realized she had forgotten the gi.  Back she went.   Into the dojo.  She had about five minutes to get the gi on.  She attempted to slip in unnoticed and go to the little restroom. Someone barked something out in Japanese or something, and there was a dead silence.  She turned to see what was going on. Both classes were getting into their lines, but everyone, including Bob, was bowing slightly. To her. Bob nodded, and she returned the bow.  Life started again. She was touched.   Bowing three times. Oath. Kata.  She was facing off with Judy as her partner.  Judy looked worried.   "Sometimes you just gotta pick yourself up and try again," Taylor told her. She nodded. "Let's do this."   Lunge punch and lower block.  They traded off like nothing had happened the last weekend.  Lunge punch and middle block. Lunge punch and upper block.  It was kind of like dancing. Taylor enjoyed it.  She wanted to learn more.  Brown-belt Maggie adjusted position of limbs and hips for both Taylor and Judy, telling them when she was about to do something: elbow up a bit".    "How'd you do?" Bob asked her later.  They had both gone home and showered. Now they were in a booth at a fast food place.   "I was kind of disappointed class ended. I was ready for more."   "That's my trooper."   "I'm not allowing you in my apartment until we are married," she said suddenly.   "You think I am a problem?"   "No.  I think you are safe. You passed the test  I am the problem here."   "Okay."   "What did the doctor tell you?"   "It's complicated.  More tests coming.  Like getting into college.  I got a letter back.  It seems there is this big fat M on my transcript and my current picture is not an M type picture.  I have to write a letter and send them notarized proofs and stuff. Just delays. This is a pain. Nothing cut and dried."   "I will say.  I'm glad I'm not transgender."   "Hah. You are pulled into my world.  You are involved in this stuff as much as I am, and, as you put it, of your own free will."   "You are worth it."   "I hope so."   "I know so."

      On the way back to her desk she was interrupted by six short, urgent conversations that had to be attended to. Then she slipped into the women's room and locked the stall door.  She took a deep breath, then another, and allowed herself to shake for five minutes,  Then deep breathing, ten in and ten out, stretch up, touch the floor, neck rolls and she was fine. She used the toilet and a woman knocked and said, "Taylor, are you okay?"   "Ready to conquer the world!"  on her way out she found her makeup was fine.  Three stalls, two sinks.  If she ever designed a women's room with three stalls, there would be four sinks, with plenty of space to plunk your stuff down between them.   She met a deferential Karen.  "Here is the branding I came up with," she said.  And she went back to working as hard as Brenda and Mary, who looked up worriedly and then went back to the proposal.   Shortly before 5:00 she received an email with the title Consolidation and Compensation.  In it she learned that the position of office manager was eliminated, and the current office manager was to become the chief executive officer. The former CEO, along with the CFO, the chief legal officer, and sundry staff, had been terminated, per the Board of Directors.  Effective immediately everyone would receive a base salary of $20,000 with a commission to be set by the individual's supervisor.  Each supervisor would be given a certain percentage to distribute.  Most functions they had been handled would be outsourced as needed.   "The question of what profit was made last year is frequent enough to be answered.  The company lost over 500,000 in fiscal 2023.  At this point further cuts are not anticipated.  We will be strategically adding positions that will enhance our profits. Hard work is expected of everyone."   Her two web guys had been complaining because their games had been remotely uninstalled.  After the memo came out they were absolutely silent.  That gave her an idea, and after an exchange of emails they were reassigned to maintenance out at the plant, effective tomorrow morning.  There were lots of weeds that needed pulling, if nothing else. That email went out after they left early, for the day.  The maintenance foreman was a no-nonsense type who did not tolerate slacking, and they would learn a thing or two.  This also freed up two spaces for her to put new people.

      So…I didn’t know your Facebook avatar was public. So, on my birthday, a couple people used a group avatar message to wish me a happy birthday…and now my Facebook friends can see a short video of my female avatar dancing with an old friend’s and another with my uncle’s avatars. So am I “Facebook out” now? 😬

      No, they are not. Truth wins in the end and this report is full of lies that poison the whole thing: see this: "Dr. Cass Backpedals From Review: HRT, Blockers Should Be Made Available it's said. Dr. Cass's latest statements are likely to cast more doubt on the validity of the study, which has come under fire for disregarding substantial evidence on trans care." https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/dr-cass-backpedals-from-review-hrt?publication_id=994764&post_id=143743897&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true I hope Dr. Cass wins The Mengele Award for it.

      Boyfriend and I went to a support group for spouses dating or married to a transgender person on Tuesday night for the first time.It was amazing meeting other couples like us.One was a genetic woman whom has been dating a transgender male for the first time and she is supporting his transition.Us,they were amazed by us agreeing on something we said,love and acceptance have brought us together

      By which I mean there is a cultural stereotype of what a man is, and one of what a woman is.  Even worse, of what a transgender person is.   You be you.   I read of a boy who thought he was a girl because he did not adhere to some (rather toxic) conceptions of what it means to be a man, so he decided he was a girl.  He was told he didn't have to conform to stereotype and got happy. "You mean I don't have to transition?" He didn't want to, and was relieved.   Once upon a time if you were transgender they told you either you transition or die.   Incorporate the best of what it means to be a man and the best of what it means to be a woman as much as you possibly can, and let the rest go.  Be fully human. Be alive. Don't conform to some cultural crud.

      Except for this thung thwister: Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb. Now if, Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb, how many thistles can'st thou thrust through the thick of thy thumb . . . in sifting a sieve-full of unsifted thistles? Success to the successful thistle sifter!
