Same.  With an extra big, plain, peasant-y top over it. 


I don't like having to go out in public when I grow my face out for electro.

 

That's a mean bad dragon @Elizabeth Star

So Today I worked from home so this is my daily work attire except the wig (since I am follicle challenged) and a bit of makeup. I am still pre everything but hope to be start HRT by the end of Aug or first of Sept.

That's a great look. Practical but feminine.

I've had a quite wonderful day today. I jointly lead a Teams presentation to around 350 people as part of the company Pride Network. It was to explain what being Genderfluid means to me and a sanitised version of my Transgender journey so far. I was quite overwhelmed with the number of positive responses and thanks from those who listened to my story. This was what I was wearing today...

@Niamhthat looks gorgeous.

 

I had a delivery driver today ask about my shirt... (cats in space on rainbow unicorns) I told him I just grabbed something out of the drawer. He says, 'ha, you got your wife's shirt!', I told him not quite. Thing is, why didn't the fact that I'm in eye makeup give something more away, lol.

Oh I forgot to post it up last night, but my youngest daughter has been begging to do my makeup so she got her chance. Maybe not my style but I loved spending that time with her. 

 

That bottom makeup is maybe not used correctly concealer. She'll learn though. I finished the lining off, and the mascara, after all, I need those eyes working!

If I may be blunt - most people do not "get" Non Binary. Unless you are invested in understanding about gender identity, you probably "get" about Gay/Lesbian. You might even "get" about transgender people who are transitioning to the "opposite sex" but when it comes to anything else it's very rare for others to understand. For example - why do I only want to be a woman some days and not others. People just don't "get" it. That's why I was on the Pride Network call at work today to help people understand that there is a complete spectrum of gender identity.

Love the shirt :) - just trying to work out what skirt or shorts that might go with!

It would have to be a skirt, I don't wear shorts. I don't know why I enjoy dresses and skirts but always hated shorts for boys. Yup, I see how it's confusing. I actually am thinking about doing a podcast for non-binary so that some of our voices can be heard and people can get a little more exposure.

I have done talks and trans seminars and never had any trouble talking with people that don't get it.

Most are inquisitive and have all kinds of questions.

I was in a small rural mountain town in eastern Ky  doing a trans seminar and had one lady ask me at the end.

I think what you are doing helping these trans people is great but as a woman I find it  amazing you know so much about the transgender and want to help spread awareness.

I thanked her for the sweet compliment and told her I know a lot about it because I am one of them.

She stepped back and looked me up and down and said OMG you are kidding me ?  She gave me a huge hug and said honey you are 100% woman.

You are welcome Davie.

I have done a lot seminars and given talks here and there and I enjoyed it.

Not much into it these days because most everyone knows about us.

They are going to think what they want and you will never change their minds anyway.

I think you are right that most people do know about the general concept of being transgender. What many don't understand are the concepts of Non-Binary, Genderfluid and other categories of transgender people who are not intent on presenting as a single gender full time. To be honest it took me a long time to grasp these concepts myself in order to find a label or definition which matched how I believed I was. So I don't expect others to find it easy either.

Niamh Its hard for "vanilla" people to understand not all trans people are the same and that there is such a wide variety.

Not sure I understand all of them myself .

I don't need a label for myself but I realize some trans people feel the need to fit in some category and that is fine.

I used to think that trans meant only mtf or ftm. I am neither of those, but always felt unidentified with my sex assigned at birth. So, having that misunderstanding, I just felt like a defective human because I had no idea others felt as I did. A couple years ago at work, we had a trans woman come to present a program called Transgender 101 during our professional development day. I attended (there were many other sessions one could attend, but Trans 101 had a good turn out), and it was an outstanding presentation by an outstanding presenter, but I don't recall gaining any insight about nonbinary which I find interesting in retrospect. I even had a friend come out to me as trans nonbinary (she later came out as mtf), but I STILL didn't get it. The thing was, I didn't know I "qualified" as trans at all. Again, I resigned myself to trying to live this life feeling like an alien. FINALLY, I reached a breaking point where I had to let go of all the trying desperately to be "normal" because it was causing so much anxiety. For me, learning of the designation "cisgender" made the difference. I thought, "Oh! If I'm not cis, I am trans!" then it starting coming together. In preparation for this next year at work, I've quit committee duties I'd been inundated by for years, and have joined the organization's LGBT+ visibility and education committee. In particular, I'll be serving on the professional development team to help educate others about all things LGBT+. I'm only out to one person at work, who is the chair of this committee. I'd like to be out more, but I'm playing it by ear for now. But, ultimately I'd like to share my experience to maybe preempt the anguish of other enby people, and to increase visibility and teach others what it means and how to be compassionate and respectful.

Here is a story without a picture (I am being bashful). Last week, this is what I wore to choir rehearsal: a colorblock sweatshirt in black, chartreuse and white with black and white colorblock shorts, a olive green and white cap, men's black hiking shoes and a thin gold chain. One of my friends was complementing my look and was stumbling to find the right word: "You are one cool lady...woman?...chick...you are one cool cat!" The whole time she was trying to find the right word, my smile just got bigger and bigger. ?☺️?

Man, I've been waiting for anyone to ask me about any of this and not a single person has. My oldest son, when I came out to him, just asked 'are you a girl?' no... No, I'm just everything. He shrugged and went back to his game. My kids are amazing. I may not be the best dad, but I'm proud of the people my kids are.

You have to love them don't you. Both my children who are adults in there 30s are completely supportive. They asked what they should call me and I said - well it depends - if you see me as a woman then "Niamh", if you see me as a man then "Dad", but if you can't see me either Niamh or Dad will do.

Went uptown today as I often do on weekends. 

Had a couple beers and decided to sit on the Courtsquare for a bit before driving home.  There was a guy taking pix of his big ass truck next to one of those little Cooper minis.

I sat on a bench where he had a bag of Cheetos (asked first)

He was just a little younger than me. (mid 60's)

We had a nice talk (mostly me listening).  Guy had 2 pistols on his belt.  He was surprised that I actually knew a bit about motor vehicles.  He told me about all the cars he had built and fights he'd been in as we sat by the Confederate Monument on the Courtsquare.  

I admit I was not expecting it.

I was wearing this outfit.  He never mentioned it, but I'm sure he clocked me.

It's been an interesting day.

Ugh. Just like a guy to not notice that you're wearing something pretty. ?

 

Hugs!

It's way more important that people accept other people for who they are. If this person was good enough to do that then that's just how it should be.

      My Gen Z transwoman roommate and my Gen X drummer roommate and I made two wonderful stir fry in the traditional wok on the high power propane burner on the back deck.  We splurged both times and had udon noodles in them with brussel sprouts, pepper and onions with a peanut and sesame sauce.   Been having them with seasoned white rice lately too.  I've been enjoying putting dill in them with the toasted sesame oil, turmeric and white pepper.

      Good morning everyone,   It's grass cutting day here on our little corner lot. The sidewalk that goes along the south side of our house, leads to a city park so we get a ton of foot traffic on it. I keep the lawn mowed and the sidewalk edged for the best street appeal. Several in the neighborhood have said its the slowest part of the walk because they have to stop to look at the flowers or watch a bird at the feeder. All of the dogs know they have fun hugs coming from me if I'm in the yard, and the conversations with the neighbors also give their hearts a chance to reach a resting beat.   @April Marie while you're working on your tan, please don't forget sunscreen. @KymmieLgood luck with the job search, it's so stressful to be the punching bag at work. @WillowI've never sold a car to a friend or someone I knew. Buyer beware, sold as is.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      We pulled a leftover beef stir-fry out of the freezer. With Asian greens, noodles, cashews, all in a honey/sesame sauce.

      Whether it is Sunday or not - may I ask, how long does the whole process take?    My every-morning basic 'beauty routine' - shave face/wash/hair/other grooming already takes over 10 minutes. My wife is basically beating down the door, lol!

      We did pretty well for almost 40 years.   But by then we were kinda moving in different directions spiritually and on some other things.  I might have moved the most significantly.  I think my trans woman was trying to assert herself, although it still took a little more time for the egg to crack.     I was the one who moved out (although we had been sleeping in separate rooms for about a year).  I was satisfied to just be separated, but after a bit she filed for divorce.  I didn't contest it - our kids were all adults by then.  She remarried, I haven't.  Now her husband has died and she is back in this area.   Yeah, we are still friends, but sometimes it's hard for me if I've been around her.  I do miss her.  She uses my now name and gender for me.   I am lonely.  I think I could remarry, maybe, if I found the right person, but I don't see much chance of that.  I'm in my 70's, this is a pretty conservative area, and I am a transgender woman.  So this is how it is - at least for me.

      That is am what I planning on. Take the defensive driving class after the conviction and all goes away aside from the fine I pay. My vehicle is a commercial vehicle (10,000+ pound diesel pickup truck with commercial plates), but since I exclusively use it for personal use so I do not need or have a CDL.

      I seems like I am dreading going to my job more each day. So, I take it as a sign to jump ship. All the time I expect to be chastised. It is not a good way to have a job. I am on the hunt for a new one, however nothing has surfaced.   Kymmie

      I'm currently on the ballot for an open US Representative seat in Portland Oregon.  Here are some of the news stories on me:   Rachel Lydia Rand on Ballotpedia: https://ballotpedia.org/Rachel_Rand#Campaign_themes KATU 2 (ABC) Know Your Candidates 2024: Rachel Lydia Rand https://www.katu.com/news/know-your-candidates/rachel-lydia-rand-d-congress-district-3 League of Women Voters Candidate Forum for US Representative https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOoS39CTEOw KOIN 6 Written Interview | top issues, what's going right https://www.koin.com/news/politics/rachel-rand-on-running-for-district-3-top-issues-whats-going-right/ League of Women Voter's Interview with Rachel Lydia Rand https://youtu.be/V5o9RKE3WVo     This is my third time running for US Rep.  Campaigning is very challenging for me because I only have two family members still alive and I've spent less than 2 weeks with them in my life and I have virtually no social network to start with and I don't belong to any social media sites.  I haven't even been able to post here and on sites like it because of rules about self-promotion.   I'm boldly saying in these videos that I want to be appointed to vice-president in the next 5 years.  My platform is about addressing climate change and everything that comes with it.  Population decline is the number one proposal I have and it is very, very scary and controversial for most people.  The way I see it is that oil is more than a fuel we burn in our cars, it's a substance we pave our roads with.  And it will run out, so at some point in the future, most of these roads are going to go away and we'll have a much harder time distributing food.  I play chromatic pennywhistle and I'm this iconic whistleblower politician saying that we will not be able to support 10 billion people at the end of the century on wind and solar power.  Even solar panels are made with oil and there isn't much difference between a wind turbine and a dam.  If we can build skyscrapers and nuclear power, then you'd think we'd be able to figure out how to make a wind turbine 100 years ago.  It's simply not as efficient.  The numbers I've crunched say that if we have one child for every two women for the next 40 years and then go back to normal replacement rate, we'll get our population down to 2 billion by 2099 which is where the world was at in 1950.  If we don't do that and stay on this current path for the projected 10 billion by 2100, then when oil runs out and climate change raises sea levels and floods coastal cities, humanity is going to be in a very uncivil situation.   I'm sorry that I'm not making a huge issue of transgender rights.  Of course I'm here to support our community.  I'd be highly visible on our national and international scene as a transwoman.  I tend to focus on engineering realities rather than these social issues.  It upsets me that people take engineering for granted.  People tend to just get in their cars and think that there will be some space age technical solution that will make it all OK.   OK, that's my rant for the day :-)  Coffee is on.  4:26am.  The ABC station is interviewing me again in a few hours and people can vote for me today.  Please consider spreading the word.  I'm only one person and it takes an incredible amount of effort to keep my political thinking and platform going.   Sincerely, Rachel Lydia Rand Jazz Musician | Software Engineer
