This top really needs something more, like another top over it. Way too much showing.

 

Hey, at least you've got something to show.

 

I was just in my boring-old work uniform today. Jeans and a work-safe T. Ho hum.

 

Hugs!

     white roller skates and a poodle skirt would have put me over the moon.  Unfortunately, I think that outfit would have put my parents over the moon for a different reason.

 

        Am DYING to play tennis again! Bought on ebay the same "classic racket" (an AMF HEAD Arthur Ashe Competition 2) had in high school and now 'ave a very short white skirt to match!

YMCA watch out!

 

VERY WEIRD ALERT: it's funny the things that *stick* - to this day remember the name of the young boy who lived across the street that I used to *experiment* with when 13/14 years old . . . 

 

Of course he always insisted I play "the girl" ? I've since considered the "child abused" angle but NO, was a happy/adjusted kid don't think the case.

I experimented with boys when I was 12 or 13 and it was interesting.

I have a different angle now and I love it. Feels right now.

What's "a work-safe T"? My owner/boss at work is a middle-aged lady who, under ruse of rubbing back, noticed my bra-strap for sure! LATEST IDEA: all the office girls wear black athletic tights so will wear black jeans tomorrow to better "fit the look" (i am a driver, out in the yard with "the boys")

 

We also 'ave a new girl in the yard, heavy set & older, who mistakenly(?) called me "ma'am" then apologized, corrected herself told her "it's ok, I will respond to BOTH".

 

Now she wants "to talk" (no time today!)

From the employee handbook; "T-shirts without cartoon characters or bumper-sticker sayings on them." 

 

The cartoon rule is negotiable so long as the cartoon characters are kid-friendly (Elsa is OK, Peter Griffin is not) and do not come with captions. I checked during the orientation meeting.

 

So I bought two 5-packs of basic single-color t-shirts from Amazon to go to work in. My VERY deep collection of t-shirts with clever things written on them is useless to me now.

 

Though I could probably still wear a couple. The T-shirt with the kitten attacking the sailing ship for example (Release the Kitten!). The one that declares me, "Majestically Lesbian," not so much. The t-shirt with the chemistry joke on it is probably cool though. I mean it's educational even if nobody gets it.

 

Hugs!

@KieraIt's actually a tank. It's Somona brand and super stretchy. My wife thought it was a dress the first time I wore it, started a fight. It's a little big now and you can easily see the top of my bra so I always wear something over it.

 

@Jackie C.I was only part was through your post and thought of the majestically lesbian shirt. Sounds like an act of oppression that the rules say you can't wear it.

LOL, This brought back a memory from a long time ago. Back in the 80’s, No one in my business knew of my crossdressing. To alleviate my stress (GD), I always wore some ladies undergarments but bras were reserved only when I wore sweaters and even then, not very often. One day my employee caught me adjusting my bra strap. Within a few minutes, she managed to figure out a way to do the ‘comforting back rub ruse’ as you mentioned. It was obvious after that moment...she knew. She never brought the topic up to me but we had some unspoken understanding that I wasn’t ready to come out to her. She was just a really nice person who obviously had a lot of empathy.

Back when I was still driving big rigs I wore a bra sometimes just so I could feel "right" .

On really cold days I wore leggings and one of the office ladies noticed a lacy bottom trim by my ankle and she said  I'll bet those legging look cute on you and I said I think they do you want to see them?

She declined with a bit of a chuckle.

She said she had tried to get her husband to wear them under his Carharts in the winter on his construction job because he always complained long underwear was un comfortable.

She was the same one that saw my bra straps a few years later.

She smiled and said are you a CDer? I said whats that and winked.

I have run into her recently and she knows I have switched teams since I have retired now.

I think she was a bit shocked because she said you were so manly back then I would have never suspected you would go 24/7.

She did say I made a pretty woman so that was all I needed.

Holly that top certainly does push the PG label.  A bit close to X.

    I once dressed a bit over the top.  After all i had somehow noticed the women with short skirts  and low tops more than the "plain" ones.  It was also fun at first to excite that glance from men.  Time has lengthened my skirts and yet somehow i feel just as feminine even in dirty jeans and top working the farm.

   We all have our styles which makes the world go round.

 

Hugs,

I had a 77 359 Pete with a big cam 400 Cummins, A76 GMC Astro cab over with a 600 horse Detroit Diesel / silver 92 TT/A.

It was built to haul oil pipe to Alaska so it was heavy duty and perfect for hauling coal in Ky.

Strangely enough a number of men trying to figure me out have done that back rubbing thing. This was half a lifetime ago. I always suspected they were checking for a bra but could never be sure. I never wore one in public. There was always some vibe I gave off no matter how hard I tried to suppress it. It sort of reminded me of dogs smelling another dog’s butt!!

Today I'm wearing this. I'm not much of a pants person, had to wear them for over 40 years. 

I love my dresses and skirts. I don't go out much anymore either. No need to.

Life is quiet boring at the moment for me, which is pretty good considering all the stuff in my past.

This is one of my favorite top. I don’t do yoga but I like the clothes. Sorry for the weird pose I noticed something when I walked past my mirror. When did that happen?

You’re looking more feminine than ever. Keep doing what you’re doing @Elizabeth Star. It’s obvious it’s working well for you!

Stared on spiro and estradiol tabs for 11 months and then switched to injections, add progesterone and halved the spiro 5 months ago. I feel like I've gotten more since my meds were changed up.

      My mother's maiden name is Schwinegruber, and to say that cabbage in all forms of use for our dinner table is an understatement.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      So, I jumped on the "E" train last week and am about 10 days into my HRT journey. I have the tiniest patch available. I laughed when I opened it. "This little thing is supposed to give me more feminine characteristics?"   I haven't really felt much of anything so far, not that I expected to at this point. I am really, really tired but that may be other factors (like staying up too late to watch NCAA basketball every night). The one noticeable difference is that my libido seems to be a lot more subdued. Not that I am proud of this, but the big M was a practically a daily part of life for me. My daily comfort and way to get an endorphin hit or just deal with loneliness. The past week, though, has been, "meh." Is that the HRT tamping things down? Or just a normal down cycle for me? Not sure yet. Time will tell.   I have been very quiet about things overall. Only a few people know. No one in my immediate family. I fear the backlash I will get when they find out. Worst- case scenario, my daughters stop talking to me. That would kill me. I hope I can show them over time, "See, I am still me."   Met with my endo on Wednesday. He is good for me to up the dose when I feel comfortable. For now, I think I am going to stand pat and take things nice and slow. Of course, I could see myself tomorrow asking him to send in the script for the higher dose...   I keep asking myself, what is the end game with all of this. Unlike many on here, I don't have a concrete answer yet. I am not convinced I will "go all the way" and change my name and ID, etc. Part of me would love to soldier on just as I am but with a lot more feminine physical characteristics and a more distinctly feminine wardrobe. What does that make me? Non-binary? Not sure.  Again, I am just me, as unorthodox as that is...   All I know is that this is something I want to do. I am comfortable walking this path for now. Again, we'll see. As always, would appreciate any feedback the more experienced folks may have. Blessings to all!    EasyE

      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

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      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.
