Jandi that is the way most people I run into act.

I don't get snarky comments or people screaming OMG its a trans person run away or they will infect us.

Most people couldn't care less what you are wearing.

I had a biker guy hold a door open for me when he didn't have to do and I am sure he read me as a trans person.

Most people are nice if you are nice to them.

Apologies for the delay, but this was what I was wearing on my first ever night out in my local town at one of the nightclubs on Friday night. I've never been out to one of the local nightclubs as Neil let alone Niamh, but I love drinking and dancing and after a meal with a friend we ended up at this place with a dancefloor and I can't help myself!

@JandiI love that outfit, it looks really nice on you. It surprises me too how much people don't seem to care.

@Niamhalso love that dress. Last night my wife, our friend and I went to the local gay club (never been to one before, never been to a club before at all) it was 'Halloween in July' so I thought, boom, I can rock all my girly glory and there's no walls! We got there and there were only three, very sad looking older men sitting at a small bar, the other sections weren't porn, no costumes, and our friend forgot her ID. So disappointed. Instead we went and hung out with another friend and his wife and another of his friends. So I ended up fully dressed (bra included! My wife got me one and I adore the little bumps they give me!) and met new people. Overall good night.

Don't feel you have to be restricted to just gay clubs you can go anywhere you want.

I know when first going out dressed you assume a gay club will be safe but a gay club can be just like a regular club.

Guys and girls drinking alcohol and flirting there is always a chance for trouble.

I have been in all kinds of bars being in the music business so always keep your eyes open to what is going on around you.

Sometimes a change of plan just works out for you.

I totally agree about going anywhere. I prefer going out as Niamh to bars/clubs that are not specifically "gay" but it's good to hear from others if they received pleasant and courteous treatment. That was certainly the case for me a couple of weeks ago when I was travelling away from home as Niamh for a few days. I loved it.

I'm currently wearing a lot of sweat. Doing heavy yard work today. Sorry, no picture. I promise no one wants to see.

Wish I could be more feminine at work but I do the best I can.  Though with the HRT a few changes are getting more noticeable

@Teri Annethank you so much! I don't really ever go to bars. I had 6 months of being 18 before my first wife gave birth and I never really partied before that. My idea of fun is being with my wife and kids and a few good friends are optional. I hate crowds. I'm highly empathic so even being in Walmart is like wading out into a stormy ocean. I've never felt like I was missing anything. I just get so uncomfortable in public, even cis-presenting. Like, I can't shop in the women's clothing at the thrift store without my wife beside me. Nothing negative has happened so far so I know that's all just me. Being in middle Alabama makes it hard for me to figure out what the heck is going on. I still can't get over the fact that it seems like all the homophobic and transphobia crap I've heard is just talk between 'bros'.

 

@JustineMwhat I see in that picture is a beautiful girl. I wouldn't think otherwise without a voice or body language.

Alice  never blame your situation on where you live and I know some think larger cities are more liberal but thats not really true.

I have been all over the south and north east and I found more hate and anti trans people in the north east and New England area.

People on trans forums talk about the "red neck good old boys" in the south being anti trans but from my experience they have been the most accepting .

I live in Ky and the people here are accepting for the most part.

My city has had a visible trans community since the early 1960s so here its common to see trans folks out and about.

@Teri AnneI am from Kentucky. I'm not sure what part you live in, but I found it to be the absolutely least accepting place I've ever been. And I didn't even have to deal with trans issues. I know it's not everyone but I couldn't go anywhere without seeing judging people, too poor, clothes not expensive enough, not the right family. I've found Alabama to be much more accepting. And I have noticed, like I said, that even the people here that run their mouths about gays and trans, tend to drop the act when you tell them you are. It's like they say it because they think it's expected and when they find that it's not our it's okay to not be negative about it, they just stop.

I'm not blaming my location, it's really just my own reaction that I'm pointing out. I'm still trying to build up my own confidence. 

 

(sorry, not trying to rip on a state, I've just had so many negative experiences in KY)

Ive felt accepted in "redneck" areas and unaccepted in very colorful rainbow spectrum places.  Who knows? Day by day I guess...

 

I want to feel love in my heart. Experiences to have and be.

Nice summery outfit.

 

Yeah you never know what to expect from a place.   Earlier on this thread I described a rather pleasant encounter I had with a very red-neck type guy over the weekend.

@Niamh
You look very much in the moment. 

 

Adorable dress, hair, and expressions!

Alice I live in Central Ky  but spent a lot of time  in Eastern and Western Ky when I was a truck driver.

You are right when you tell them what you are they tend to back down and seem fine with it.

I did Trans awareness meetings in small towns all over Eastern Ky and help trans teens come to grips with everything.

The mountain towns are full of really accepting people.

Of course you might run into one bad apple here and there but they generally walk away.

@Teri AnneI grew up in Western Kentucky. Marshall County, of all places. It might not be like it was 6 years ago or so, I've been down here for a while.

OMG you all are looking great. Madde- so cute and summer-ey. Niahm you look like you are having a blast.

I haven't been in a selfie place lately so no new pics.  Maybe in the next day or so.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

      In this case the MAGA GOP transphobes Just my opinion of course
    • atlantis63
      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      Who, precisely, are "they"?

      Wife of mine pointed out that not getting a haircut for a month looks hideous - weird bald patches.  So back to super- short buzz cut.  This morning I braced, looking in the mirror.  I look like a woman trying to pass as a a guy, maybe  a small-breasted woman with enough T treatment to grow a mustache.    I would not believe me if I read what I write about me.  This is nuts.   White t-shirt: that they sell in the back of WM so you can tie-dye them or otherwise decorate them. They are thick and long lasting and slightly fitted, so that they could be a man's.  I like them.   Jeans, flip flops.   I will no longer point out these are women's.  What else would I wear?

      Quite right mate! I have been letting my hair grow out again (I cut it all off when I was 18).    I'll never look this good:    But I'll aspire to look my best! ☺️
