Hot Hot Hot.  (not me, the weather hahaha). I haven't worn this top in almost 7 months. I forgot how much I like it.  Broke out some big hoops too.  I realized when I got to work why I haven't worn them in a while....what a pain in the ass with masks that go over your ears.  

@MaddeeI love that top you're wearing.  You look great!

@Linda Marieas always- pure class.

 

I'm with all of you on the whole "fitting in". I like to wear nicer clothes and show a little style but not trying to shock anyone with who I am.

I agree with that wholeheartedly .

Can you stand out, and fit in, at the same time?

Maddee, I think the answer is a resounding yes!  I always try to stand out while fitting in.  I think the tactic will be different for everyone, but the end result is the same.  I fit in by dressing and behaving appropriately, but I try to stand out by showcasing my femininity.  I tend to go for dressier outfits with feminine flair.

Today I'm wearing a nice flower print dress. I really wanted to take pictures outside in our garden but weather

is not cooperating.

Love the dress @Linda Marie

I made a tie dye t-shirt last night so had to wear that and some NYDJ shorts I found at the thrift store (what a deal, normally $70 new for $5!).   More importantly but not visible, I went to Victoria Secrets to see if there was a solution to a natural fitting bra for 38A.  They said that size isn't made by anyone really for off the rack BUT, 36 B is the same size cup which is made and you just put a hook extender to get the width so I now have a VS push up bra that actually fits!!!

It only has a little padding so it feels like it's mostly me and not "fake".

Had to go get some blood drawn today.  It's an hour drive up there.  But they also have a goodwill outlet store up there.  That's where you buy stuff and pay by the pound.  A lot of my stuff has come from there.

Got this skirt today.

A year ago (or more) I was in the habit of going into town on Saturdays to just hang out maybe have a beer, etc.  Now I've had my shots, and things are starting to open up a little here in NC, so I made it into town today.

Stopped at the bookstore and picked up a book. A little embarrassed, I told the lady I had developed a taste for trashy romance novels.  Turned out she was an enthusiast also - heh heh. 

Then I went uptown and stopped in at one of my old haunts and had a couple beers.  

It was really nice to be getting back in circulation.  Man I missed it.

A fan of romance novels too.

Used to read pirate based stories where the girl falls in love with the dreaded pirate. Cowboy/old west based ones as well a Victorian era.

Half Price books is where I used all that stuff even dated a guy that I met there.

Guilty. Though I prefer them with a little adventure. And lesbians. Love me some well-written lesbian romance novels.

 

Hugs!

I recently read "Written in the Stars" by Alexandria Bellefleur. Loved it. I'm starting to think the only reason I never used to be into romance stories is because so many of them involve a guy as half of the couple!

Actually, I've had it for years.  I was just afraid to let anyone know.   I was pretty transphobic in those days.

I can deal with that, but it's really not my favorite. They don't even have to be explicit. Just a nod to actual romance and maybe alluding to, "Yes, this couple has sex but you don't need to see it," and I'm fine.

 

Hugs!

Hi folks,

 

I've been out of the loop again for a while. Picked up a new skirt and top which I wore today. Forgive the beard, but I take a break from shaving on my days off and I haven't had the opportunity to start electrolysis yet.

 

Pictures also taken at different times of the day. ?

Had lunch with my wife and in-laws. My wife insisted I dress more masculine for the occasion. I chose this outfit and she was happy with it. I was still able to wear some makeup and carried my purse.

      Good catch… I took care of it.

      I'm tired of the two-party system.  It has degraded to a system where there are only two diametrically opposed views, neither of which supports me.  I have conservative views regarding big government and government spending but I have very liberal views when it comes to protecting the rights of individuals.  And just elections of the past, I am stuck with two choices, neither of which I support. With only two parties, each with agendas that are off the left and right scales, I am not adequately represented.    Finally, I'm okay with party affiliated politicians running for office using their party views, but once elected to office, they are obligated to support the entire electorate not just the electorate members that voted for them.  Plain and simple, our government system is broken and dysfunctional.  I'll step down from my soapbox now.

      Thanks Mae.  She was an amazing friend and I grew to love her like a sister.

      I did Ashley.  Non-rev travel was one of the major factors for taking the job.  At the time, US Airways had the best non-rev policy in the industry.  It cost $10 to fly coach and $25 to fly first class.  We flew first class whenever there were seats available.

      You should have a moderator fix what you meant to write as "birth certificate".  Ooops.   I've gone over that verse and am wholly and completely dissatisfied with the SBC exegesis of it, so much so that it was one of the things that helped me break out of a mindset of guit.  Sometime I may strut by stuff as a Hebraist and show what it really means.

      I found this   — 450 — Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise Goal #1: Protecting Life, Conscience, and Bodily Integrity. The Secretary should pursue a robust agenda to protect the fundamental right to life, protect con- science rights, and uphold bodily integrity rooted in biological realities, not ideology. From the moment of conception, every human being possesses inherent dignity and worth, and our humanity does not depend on our age, stage of development, race, or abilities. The Secretary must ensure that all HHS programs and activities are rooted in a deep respect for innocent human life from day one until natural death: Abortion and euthanasia are not health care. A robust respect for the sacred rights of conscience, both at HHS and among gov- ernments and institutions funded by it, increases choices for patients and program beneficiaries and furthers pluralism and tolerance. The Secretary must protect Americans’ civil rights by ensuring that HHS programs and activities follow the letter and spirit of religious freedom and conscience-protection laws. Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike. The next Secretary must ensure that HHS programs protect children’s minds and bodies and that HHS programs respect parents’ basic right to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children.   https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-14.pdf   First, that is not much, if that is all that is of concern.  Secondly, I have seen all sorts of anti-Trump slander, including the Steele dossier and the lawfare he is now undergoing, to be cynical of any criticism against him, and indirectly this document.    He deserves some of what he is getting, but not all.  Thirdly, I bolded one statement of concern.   I don't think gender identity is subjective.  "Radical actors" is name calling, and there is a lot of that going around.  Maybe I am not seeing everything of concern or reading this right, but i would discuss with the author of this document concerning this.

      Good evening   well I finally finished reading my textbook.  Yeah.  But I still have a lot more to go for the class.     My endocrinologist always asks me about lactation.  And yes I have had some very small amounts of leakage but not on any regular basis.  I figure I blocked the discharge Duce when I pierced my nipples with scare tissue.  But who knows.  I also get asked about mammograms.  I e had my first or baseline and this fall I will need to schedule my second.   As someone in the midst of studying the Old Testament, I can say that I haven’t found any mention of pending damnation for being transgender or intersex.  The closest it comes is a verse that says men should not wear women’s clothing.  Now I don’t know each and everyone’s particulars, but I know I meet the medical definition of female gender, and even in Ohio, a State that until recently refused to allow birth certificates to be changed, I meet the criteria.  Therefore I can only conclude I am not a man wearing women’s clothing.  But there is a somewhat different scholarly explanation of that law that it should not be taken as literally as the haters want.  Mostly men should not pretend to be women to ex ape from their enemies. Or tried to hide from God.     willow

      Well, the left wing has been doing that.    I read a few things while trying to find out what the problem is and liked what I read.  But I am a conservative.    Is there something specific in there that is of concern?  Does it promise somewhere to erase trans folk? That would be problematic.

      It's a plan to basically completely take over the government by the right wing.

      I'm actually in Asheville tonight.  Some of the people in the support group invited me for dinner after the meeting.  We're going to get together again tomorrow again. It's been nice, 4 trans women and 1 trans man, together ar a restaurant.

      I found https://www.project2025.org/policy/   I will have to read it.  I have not.  What is of concern?   The link provided earlier goes back to this forum.

      'Nuff said. Yeah I'm not thrilled with Biden either. There are some conservative ideas I'm good with.  And I do feel that the current Democratic party is too cozy with the bankers and wealthy.  But despite all their talk, when it comes down to it, so are the Republicans.  And it's not the Dems calling for our eradication. Unfortunately, I see this election as existential for trans folks.

      Good evening everyone,   @Birdie your CNA Is ill informed about breast and proper bra fitting.   My wife and I are checking out a campground up in Michigan just a little North of Saginaw, MI. We had a great meal at a local tavern serving delicious perch fillet dinner.   We’re going to check out the Saginaw,MI Bay area for summer time activities for when we come back on occasion. We belong to a camping club call Adventure Outdoors and have free camping at their resorts around Michigan and Ohio.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I agree.   Biden has been known to switch positions without notice, whether on abortion, Gaza or gay marriage.  Most of what he has done has been via executive order and decision, so it does not carry the force of lasting law and can be easily reversed.  I really do not trust him at all.   Trump says a lot of things.  He switches his position all the time.  Most of what he wants to do will require legislation to accomplish, some of which will simply never become law.  I do not trust him at all.   I'm not sure which is worse for trans people specifically because of this, and the fact that the other issues that surround trans folk which I attempted to isolate this question from, but here I go :) also affect trans people along with everyone else.   In either case trans folk need to be prepared.
