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 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

      Having just a normal emotional day.
    • Heather Shay
      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.
