@Elizabeth Starthat is a fantastic combination. You do look great, and I'm glad your partner expressed positive feelings about your look this morning.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and safe,

I’m wearing this dress again today. This time with a shrug and high heel boots. I’m in a pretty good mood today. My partner gave me a much appreciated compliment on my outfit this morning.

That's a wonderful dress which flatters you and goes with your hair. The shrug compliments it. I have a similar one that I wore with a dress on my first ever time out as Niamh in public, so it means a lot to me.

Add a belt or long necklace (with pendant at or slightly below the dress waist) with color that stands out from the dress but not "screaming", and it will have younger look

I had to run some errands today for work stuff- getting permits, licenses etc.  I've discovered boobs have power. lol. Doors being opened, two different people rushed to help me vs letting their coworker etc etc.  One was a young man the other a woman (who my gay-dar was going off on)   She was very flirty while helping me.  I think this was $$ well spent. haha

I absolutely love this dress. I'm so sad that I will only be able to wear it a few more times before fall weather hits hard.

I wore a sweater and a pair of tan pants, a combination I haven't worn in a year, to a rotary club meeting, to which I invited myself. They were all young business professionals, and my long hair definitely stood out!  I introduced myself and talked about my background, and some of my connections with friends who have been affiliated with Rotary, and my interest in the organization.

 

The guest speaker was Mayor Anne who was supposed to give a state of the city address and she was late. Someone asked tongue in cheek if any of the guests were actually the Mayor, and someone else looked at me, suggesting that any second now I would pull off the disguise and reveal my identity. HaHa.

 

They started off the meeting before Mayor Anne arrived with a warm up exercise called Prides and Rats, something you did you were proud of that week and something that maybe went south. One guy said he grew up in the 70's and was proud of his long shoulder length hair, but was now obviously bald. Then said something about being jealous of my hair! Actually, I was kind of flattered, because it means I've made quite a bit of progress over the past 8 months, to the point where people are struggling with what sort of box to put me in. One day at a time. 

 

Next week I have an interview with the local school district for a job as a substitute bus driver. I shall be very interested in their reaction.

Looking really nice there Bri! I might have to reevaluate my stance on getting my chest done.

 

Hugs!

They will get in the way of your workouts for about 4-6 weeks though...;) No lifting more than 5-10lbs for that long

That's what I'm dealing with NOW. Though I've already blown it because my carry-on weighs more than that by about, oh, 35 pounds. I can take the occasional break.

 

Hugs!

It was cool enough this morning to fire up the oven.

Nice fresh bread for breakfast.

Yum! No bread at any store can compare to even the simplest homemade. It's been too long, I should get back into breadmaking again.

After 3 weeks of impatiently waiting, the custom dress I ordered showed up. I'm really impressed with the quality of the material used.

The style of the dress (A-Line) is perfect for you. You will probably hate me for saying this, but that particular subject matter on that dress might have looked better in black (which I know you like)! I love seeing you in other colours - like in this dress, but I just associate skulls with black flags!

I agree. It probably would look better in black. I'm on a mission to have more color in my life.?

It does look good on you.

I tended to avoid colors in my guy days.  Now I like a bit of color.  

Coming out was quite liberating for me.

Love it @Elizabeth Star! That looks really good on you!

 

For myself today I'm wearing black shorts and a black t-shirt from my "heavy days," so it's basically a tent. Also, you get used to a certain lightness in female fabrics? This shirt has none of that. It's like wearing a blanket.

 

Hugs!

You look very pretty that dress Liz and its a great color for you too.

Everyone is stepping up their game and looking so fabulous.

I always loved big colors, so the late-80's/early-90's were great for me. Then the trend passed and I felt I needed to stick with drab. ☹️ My lady wardrobe definitely has more color, though. ?

Anyone near Chicago want to have coffee do a little thrift shopping on Oct 18th? I get in around 1pm and have the whole afternoon/evening free. Heading up to Wilmette for electrolysis on the 19th.

Link to comment

Don't expect to be near Chicago anytime soon.

 

Had to get a replacement burner for my stove since one blew up on me.

Then I went to the Target (in another city - we don't have that kind of thing here) to return a pair of shoes that ended up being not the size I ordered.   At that point I didn't want to keep fooling around with the internet anymore.

Turned out they didn't have what I wanted at the store, but I did get a refund.

I went home and ordered a more expensive pair from someone else.   Hope that works out better.  

I just gots big feets.

      While the Soviet Union did not end up being the source of all evil, I believe that history has shown that Joe McCarthy generally was right. There ARE all kinds of Marxists slithering around. And if that had been dealt with firmly 75 years ago (or more) the nation wouldn't be in the shape that it's in now.    And while I generally oppose the idea of intervening in foreign affairs, the world probably would have been better off if we had taken care of issues in Russia and defeated the Bolshevik Menace back in 1919. God bless the memory of Admiral Kolchak.   Getting back to project 2025, my belief is that Republican efforts are inappropriately focused on trans folks. A minority of a minority does not wreck a nation. But it is easier to focus on trans folks because they can look like they're doing something. They don't have to address the real problems, and really they don't want to address them because they would have to address themselves.  They would also need to admit that the 50 State version of the USA cannot be saved.

      @Willow things went pretty well on Monday. I have been working on the project all week long. I've been hanging out with my husband a lot, since he said that nobody would mind because I'm working on company stuff. My work is going slowly, but it is going. Rather better than I had hoped.   I ended up waking up late this morning. After 18 months of only working on house chores, not really used to doing anything else. Actually a little bit tired

      Getting back to this… I've seen objections to Critical Race Theory, but simply "critical theory" is a new one on me.  I think we need to be "critical" about a lot of things, or at least examine why we believe what we do about them.  If they stand up under scrutiny, great.  If not perhaps we need to look at something else.   Not all socialists are Soviet Russian Communists. I have read very little Marx myself.  That kind of writing bores me quickly.  But I think there are legitimate concerns about unfettered capitalism.  There are countries that seem to do well on a mixture of capitalism and socialism.  But I am no Tankie.   The Red Scare kinda morphed into the Lavender Scare, and now we have this Transgender Scare.   The thing is, most people are scared to get to know any of the people they are scared of. I'm not scared of evangelical christians.  But I am a little scared of what they seem ready to do to me, because they are scared of me. I am not a scary person - don't want to be.  I'm just an old trans woman trying to mind my own business, and get with what's left of my life. And the 2025 project seems to be designed to make that difficult.

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.

      Maybe.  But they'd probably resent being required to do it.   IDK.  You have to show ID to register already.  And you have to be registered to vote.

      Hah! Woke up the Red Scare!   I’ve never read Marx. I tend to believe in the inherent goodness in people. I let their words and deeds change that. Insisting people are immoral/less than/should not exist, stripping them (or keeping them from) human rights, is an a most basic example of true evil. What evils do LGBTQ+ people present simply existing? How does the Right justify their crusade against us? What justifies the manufactured fear and loathing they spout every day about us?

      Congrats on the new addition @Ivy I have the opposite I have 4 grandson and a granddaughter. 3 of whom are visiting this weekend. I am feeling better. I think the biggest thing is that I got some much needed sleep.   Well gotta go and speed sometime with the grandsons.   Kymmie
