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.

      So, yesterday's epiphany was that girl jeans fit me much nicer than boy jeans. Well, duh! So this girl is switching over to wearing girl jeans pretty much full time. I'll keep my others for work jeans. We went out to dinner last evening and I was in androgynous mode...wearing a pair of Bandolino Amy straight leg denim pants. Score!

      Good morning, everyone!! The coffee upload has started for me but just in the early stages so I'm barely coherent at this point.   You've been missed @Willow - I hope all is going well with your wife and at work.   @awkward-yet-sweet We love to make beans with rice - one of our favorite meals.   No big plans for me today. Small projects around our place and probably some reading. We're going to have some rain off and on, and the temps are still too low for a lot of outdoor work.   Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      Hi   boy you back to work and miss lots.  No time to catch up right now. But I will.   just wanted to let everyone know I’m still here.   willow

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.
