First time wearing a skirt to work and in public. Still don't have some nice boots but I have sneakers that may be alright with this.

You are looking spiffy, sneakers work great with skirts. Little white socks with sneakers really bring out the look.

I'm not sure I'd combine straw and hay with a skirt. That stuff gets EVERYWHERE and it's itchy. Most farm girls I know are jeans all the way.

 

Hugs!

 I am so done trying to cover myself up and hide from people. I went everywhere including the in-laws today. The whole outfit: Black skinny jeans rolled at the bottom, 3in heel booties and a black Cami. In my Jeep with the windows down and my hair tied back.

OK so I finally did it. I bought my very first pair of leggings yesterday. I've never worn any before and I so scared of wearing them in public. They are tight and I'm big and I'm afraid of what people that see me will say when they see me in them. I may seem confident and I can be at times, but in this case I'm not so sure. My mom picked them out for me when we were at Walmart, she told me that I should wear them around the house until I get used to wearing them, also she said buy a long shirt for when i wear them out. I'm still not so sure.

 

What do you guys think?

I have some, but I only wear then with tunic-type tops.  I don't have much of a butt I'm afraid.

I wear them out all the time. Long shirts are your friends. They are super comfy, and fur lined ones in the winter. I was missing out. Then I needed cute boots too.

I wear them exclusively when I go out, usually with a jacket or sweat top. I find them to be really comfortable, especially on long walks with my dog. I guess I see myself as an athletic older woman, for now.

I transitioned 25 years ago and I wore leggings out shopping for the first time just recently! I'm self conscious about not having any hips. I normally wear mom jeans.

I'm wearing leggings right now. If you're concerned about your first time in public, try wearing them under a skirt. We (meaning women) all own several pairs. There's nothing wrong with wearing them out and about.

 

Hugs!

Wear them inside a few days and see how you like them. We wear clothes for ourselves, not others so if you like them then wear them.  I love them. Also skinny jeans and jeggings.  If you still have boy parts, definitely wear longer tops.  Most of the women on my staff wear them and they (staff) are all different shapes and sizes.  Case in point for me today are athletta "jeggings" which are basically leggings that have a more "denim" look. I have a longer top and use an accent piece of jewelry.  The big accent makes people look there vs my butt (hopefully)  Also today, NEW SHOES!  I'm hoping to wear these out on Ladies Weekend bar night with black "pleather" leggings and have to make sure they are broken in before roaming the streets of Savanah.

I’m wearing a pink Nike shirt, white cut up jeans and a white sweater. Nails are clear. I’m sitting at my desk at home waiting for calls. Been do long since I’ve been on this site. Life has been so hard. Still alone and struggling. But I’m surviving but not thriving. Anyway... have a good day.

Thank you girls. I feel better about wearing them. @Elizabeth Star, I think I too need a really cute pair of boots to wear with them. I'm going to go to a shoe store at the mall later and see if I can find anything that speaks to me. I really need to find a long top or I hope my booty looks really good in the leggings. lol

 

I really want people to say Damn! and not Damn?  lol

Cute sandals or wedges work with black leggings, sneakers work with more "athletic" leggings and of course ankle and knee high boots are classic.  Make sure you have all your seasons/occasions covered;) Happy shopping!

OMG! I just got two tops I ordered from Amazon. I love them so much and ones long enough to wear with my new leggings. What do you guys think?

That first top is kind of daring for me. You've got to give me a hint though, what do the leggings look like? I can't outfit match with just half the outfit.

I will post a pic with it together. Going to get cleaned up. I’m not looking my best because I’m spring cleaning. But here is a pic of the leggings. Just know, mom picked them out for me. Not really crazy for the pokadots. Would rather had a solid color pair.

I’m still getting used to how women wear a lot of different prints instead of how men wear more plain stuff.

I would pair that with a more solid color top, mixing patterns is challenging.  I like pokadots. Solid leggings are nice because they can go with just about any tops. #StapleItem   I have a couple leggings that have patterns but I'm basically relegated to just one or two tops to pair with them that have complimentary colors. Also, think about layers. You will notice most women have layers to their tops.  A cami or light shirt with a long sleeve top layer like a cardigan or denim top.  (both staples as well IMO)

That's what I thought. Like I said, mom picked out the leggings, I wanted a navy or black pair. But mom said they would look nice with my black top and or a over sized white cardigan. I want a white or red v neck top to wear with the blue camisole top and a nice navy skirt. I plan on buying several more pairs of leggings. Just not pokadots.. lol

 

Over all I am happy, it means that my wardrobe is starting to fill out. I'm actually excited.

Yeah, I was just thinking that about the layers. I'd go with the first top with another layer over that to cover my shoulders. Preferably in a solid black or at least a dark blue. Personally, I'd try to match with the color of the leggings and let the top be my accent. I'd add some simple jewelry (a chain or pendant, silver because gold looks awful on me) and I'd be good to go.

 

The patterned top won't work with the polka-dots. Way too busy.

 

Hugs!

      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

      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.
