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

Probably wouldn't be a big deal if it hadn't become a political football.

My city has had a trans culture since the 1930s and in the 60s when I was a kid we would see queens here and there.

The whole town knew about them and they were kind of celebrities in a way.

They were part of the city's history.

One was a nurses aide at a local hospital  and people loved him because he was such a giving  person.

As kids we would ride our bikes downtown and hang out or go to the movies and we would see him " Sweet Evening Breeze" is what everyone called him.

He was very nice and always smiling and happy.

His real name was James Herndon and he also was a black man.

Google  "Don't dream it be it" and the article should be there.

I can't seem to link to it right now but its a great read.

One-on-one civility is one thing. Public policy is another. There's an important documentary on Revry titled "Equality U". Just because some people know how to act polite on the surface, when necessary, doesn't mean that it isn't a facade or that they aren't lying to your face just to pretend to be "nice".

Sweet Evening Breeze!

Cool that you were proximate yo this human in your early daze.

Love true stuff like that. 

There's a story about a transwoman midwife on the wild west frontier in the 1800s I read and liked.

Going out to meet a new friend for happy hour in a bit and feeling kinda cute! This is the second time I've worn this racerback body con dress and I love it.

or this short guess brand ribbed cotton cocktail dress.....I can't decide. Ladies, any thoughts on which is better for Happy hour at Cooper's Hawk Winery restaurant? The cocktail I can't use a bra so my true size is evident as opposed to a little padding in the maxi dress.

@Bri2020 I agree with Liz. The cocktail dress.

 

Well going down to the 98░ weather in Ft Collins. So, a dress or skirt is a must. probably my green utility dress. with bare minimal underneath.

Hot here too, and no AC.   I'm wearing absolute minimum-type dress.  (I'll skip the pix)

Wore a bit more for the trip to the store.

Been working outside in this all day. Thank God for a slow day and a stand up fan. I got on jeans and a tee. Nothing pretty today.

Hot and muggy here for last few weeks which is normal for summer so I stay indoors until evening when it cools down.

High neck tank and blue flare jeans today.
 

I’ve learned to appreciate the struggles women go through finding clothes that fit and the associated cost. So I’m going to be more open about my clothing sizes and where I got them. Maybe it’ll help someone else. 
Top is  A New Day brand, XL $8 at Target.

Tanks are easy. I keep running into problems with fitting my shoulders. On the plus side, I look FANTASTIC in a tank.

 

I was shocked today to discover that I'm an extra-small in workout gloves though. Who knew? I have small hands with long fingers.

 

Hugs!

@Elizabeth StarI haven't seen you in anything yet that doesn't look great on you.

 

@Jackie C.I have huge hands. And my right hand is wider than my left by a bit from hitting things a lot when I was younger. The other day I thought to myself at the gas station 'wow, I'm the only gal that can palm a 15 pack' lol.

I will try the cocktail dress next time.  I went maxi, mostly cause I realized I hadn't done the best job shaving. hahaha

The "friend date" as I'm calling it went fantastic.  It was weird because it's the first time I met basically a stranger woman at a bar that wasn't a "real date".  It was all about getting know each other. In the end, we decided we were good friends now and plan to see some live music Friday with her sister and my wife.  I'm so excited to have a completely new friend in my life.  Although- here's a funny part of the story:  When I told her what I did for a living she looked down at my hands- everyone does when you say massage- and her eyes got wide.  She then asks me "did you used to work at #(#& spa a long time ago. (which I did) and she became flabbergasted because I was actually her massage therapist back in 2005/06 as well as her sister's and best friend's.  I probably gave her 6-10 massages! Obviously we both changed a bit from back then! hahahhaha

 

@Elizabeth StarYou might like blacks and greys but that pink tank looks amazing on you.

Thanks @Bri2020 I’m trying to get into wearing other colors and have no idea what looks good on me. 

 

Have you considered black AND pink? One of my favorite combinations.

I have, I like it too. Was also considering black and turquoise but it depends on current hair color.

The weather is a little cooler today. Perfect for a long skirt.

Top is from Old Navy, L

Skirt is Apt9. It’s a Med but really big. I had to take in the side by 2 inches. 

Boots by Journey, 11

Necklace (one-off), hand crafted from reclaimed copper with a Hematite heart pendant.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."

      I have read some of it, mostly in areas specifically targeted at the LGBTQ+ peoples.   You also have to take into account what and who is behind the words, not just the words themselves. Together that creates context, right? Let's take some examples, under the Department of Health & Human Services section:   "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."   or   "Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society. Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden’s HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on “LGBTQ+ equity,” subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families."   From a wording perspective, who doesn't want to protect the health and well-being of Americans or think that families aren't good for America? But let's take a look at the author, Roger Severino. He's well-quoted to be against LGBTQ+ anything, has standard christian nationalist views, supports conversion therapy, etc.   So when he uses words like "threatens the health and well-being of children and adults alike" it's not about actual health, it's about enforcing cis-gendered ideology because he (and the rest of the Heritage Foundation) believe LGBTQ+ people and communities are harmful. Or when he invokes the family through the lens of, let's just say dog whistles including the "penalization of marriage" (how and where?!), he idealizes families involving marriage of a "biological male to a biological female" and associates LGBTQ+ family equity as something unhealthy.   Who are the radical actors? Who is telling people to be trans, gay, or queer in general? No one. The idea that there can be any sort of equity between LGBTQ+ people and "normal" cis people is abhorrent to the author, so the loaded language of radical/destructive/guise/threaten are used. Families that he believes are "good" are stable/well-ordered/healthy, specifically married/nuclear ones.   Start looking into intersectionality of oppression of non-privileged groups and how that affects the concept of the family and you will understand that these platitudes are thinly veiled wrappers for christian nationalist ideology.   What's wrong with equity for queer families, to allow them full rights as parents, who are bringing up smart and able children? Or single mothers who are working three jobs to get food on plates?

      Well yesterday didn't work like I wanted to. I met a guy and started talking and he was wanting to be in a relationship. I asked my kids on how they thought of me dating a man and they said gross and said no. I guess it's time to look for women. I think that is going to be harder. Oh well I guess.
