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.

      This is a question I ask myself all the time. When I'm out I hope that I can some what pass

      I use my  chosen name online and when ever I can. I play some online game and only go by that name. That is how everyone there know me. Yes it does feel great to be called the name you prefer.

      I was ten years old when my mom walked in on me frolicking around my room dressed up in her bra, panties, and some pantyhose. I had been doing this in the privacy of my bedroom for a little while now so I had my own little stash box I kept full of different panties, bras, etc ... of hers. My mom's underwear was so easy for me to come by and she was a very attractive woman, classy, elegant. Well when she walked in on me, she looked at me with disgust and said to me... "If I wanted to run around like mommy's little girl instead of mommy's little boy, then she was going to treat me like mommy's little girl."  She left my bedroom after telling me NOT to change or get dressed or anything and returned with a few of her work skirts and blouses and such. She made me model off her outfits for her and I have to admit ... I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I felt so sexy, and feminine. And she knew I loved it.  She told me we can do this every weekend if I'd like. It would be OUR little secret.

      The usual social ways, of course.  Taking care of my partners and stepkids, being involved in my community.  That makes me feel good about my role.   As for physical validation and gender... probably the most euphoric experience is sex.  I grew up with my mother telling me that my flat and boyish body was strange, that my intersex anatomy was shameful, that no man would want me. So experiencing what I was told I could never have is physical proof that I'm actually worth something.

      <Moderator hat on>  I think that, at this point we need to get the thread back onto the topic, which is the judge's ruling on the ballot proposition.  If there is more to be said on the general principles of gendered spaces etc., please discuss them, carefully and respectfully, in separate threads. <Moderator hat off>

      People who have no understanding of transgender conditions should not be making policy for people dealing with it. Since it is such a small percentage of the population, and each individual is unique, and their circumstances are also unique, each situation needs to be worked with individually to see that the best possible solution is implemented for those involved. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      No.  You are getting stuck on one statement and pulling it out of context.   Trans kids have rights, but so do non-trans kids.  That conflict is best worked out in the individual situation. 
    • MaeBe
      I get the concept, I believe. You're trying to state that trans kids need to or should be excluded from binary gender spaces and that you acknowledge that answers to accommodate those kids may not be found through policy. I disagree with the capability of "penetration" as being the operative delimiter in the statement, however. I contest this statement is poorly chosen at best and smacks of prejudice at worst. That it perpetuates certain stereotypes, whether that was the intent or not.   Frankly, all kids should have the right to privacy in locker rooms, regardless of gender, sexuality, or anatomy. They should also have access to exercise and activities that other kids do and allow them to socialize in those activities. The more kids are othered, extracted, or barred from the typical school day the more isolated and stigmatized they become. That's not healthy for anyone, the excluded for obvious reasons and the included for others--namely they get to be the "haves" and all that entails.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Context.  Read the context.  Good grief.
    • MaeBe
      Please don't expect people to read manifold pages of fiction to understand a post.   There was a pointed statement made, and I responded to it. The statement used the term penetration, not "dissimilar anatomy causing social discomfiture", or some other reason. It was extended as a "rule" across very different social situations as well, locker and girl's bedrooms. How that term is used in most situations is to infer sexual contact, so most readers would read that and think the statement is that we "need to keep trans girl's penises out of cis girls", which reads very closely to the idea that trans people are often portrayed as sexual predators.   I understand we can't always get all of our thoughts onto the page, but this doesn't read like an under-cooked idea or a lingual short cut.

      I shopped online in the beginning of transition. I had great success with SHEIN and Torrid!

      Have you read the rest of what I wrote?   Please read between the lines of what I said about high school.  Go over and read my Taylor story.  Put two and two together.   That is all I will say about that.

      "I feel like I lost my husband," Lois told the therapist,"I want the man I married." Dr. Smith looked at Odie, sitting there in his men's clothing, looking awkward and embarrassed. "You have him.  This is just a part of him you did not know about. Or did not face." She turned to Odie,"Did you tear my wedding dress on our wedding night?" He admitted it.  She had a whole catalog of did-you and how-could you.  Dr. Smith encouraged her to let it all out. Thirty years of marriage.  Strange makeup in the bathroom.  The kids finding women's laundry in the laundry room. There was reconciliation. "What do we do now?" Dr. Smith said they had to work that out.  Odie began wearing women's clothing when not at work.  They visited a cross-dressers' social club but it did not appeal to them.  The bed was off limits to cross dressing.  She had limits and he could respect her limits.  Visits to relatives would be with him in men's clothing.    "You have nail polish residue," a co-worker pointed out.  Sure enough, the bottom of his left pinky nail was bright pink  His boss asked him to go home and fix it.  He did.   People were talking, he was sure, because he doubted he was anywhere as thorough as he wanted to be.  It was like something in him wanted to tell everyone what he was doing, and he was sloppy.   His boss dropped off some needed paperwork on a Saturday unexpectedly and found Odie dressed in a house dress and wig.  "What?" the boss said, shook his head, and left.  None of his business.   "People are talking," Lois said. "They are asking about this," she pointed to his denim skirt. "This seems to go past or deeper than cross dressing."   "Yes.  I guess we need some counseling."  And they went.
