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!

      Go Cleveland Guardians!  I love baseball and I loved playing it when I was younger.

      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?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Been taking it real easy.Another good neighbor of mine and his 15 year old son came over and cut down a couple dead trees on my property.Knew not to do it taking it easy.I had them put the wood near my fire pit in the back yard.Did it and happy where they put it.They knew I had stents put in and needed to take it easy

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out.

      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you
