I get some looks too, but...whatever.  I think I'm adorable. ?

I love your style! Black with white accents on the hat, shoes and necklace, purple glasses and scarf! No wonder you get some looks!

 This was taken 16 years ago. I was in Charlotte, NC. 

I was at the Betta Kappa Girls chapter meet. I'm on the far right, the little one.

By now I have been to many trans meetings, and many more to come.

I had learned so much from my peers, and it helped this time.

The lady on the far left is Meg, she was very new. She wanted more than just a meeting.

I ended up escorting her out. First the clubs, breaking the ice so to speak.

When all that was over I told we have one last stop. She freaked out when I pulled into the parking lot, asking me, are you sure?

I took her to Deny's restaurant. Main stream public. She had a very good time, her first time out in public, And I escorted her!!

 

Who felt better? Her or me? I have to admit I felt really good seeing her excitement, wow.

The important part of this story is all about the meetings, learning from others, I too was escorted out when I first came out.

 I had a lot of help, then I went out on my own and a new world opened up.

I owe it all to the LGBT, I didn't learn on my own.

Groups are the only way to go when you are just starting out. Knowing there are others just like you is a huge help.

in the vane of "here's me warts and all". lol

It's football Sunday AND an electrolysis appointment.  Normally I wouldn't combine them but my electrolysis person has been training someone and told me to see her for free 90 minute sessions periodically as a training and I get the session for free so.....

Not pictured are my Dolphin's themed sneakers and white capris

Pfft. You look perfectly respectable. Also, I'm guessing that that's the numbing gel? Good luck with your appointment!

 

Hugs!

I wandered out of my comfort zone again. Sans skulls and a minimal amount of black. 

 

I LOVE those colors on you though. Maybe you should invest in a skull pendant or earrings. You know, just so you never have to go without skulls completely.

 

Oh, or...

Just carry it with you. https://www.inkedshop.com/products/grave-digger-skull-handbag-by-killstar-black

It also comes in pink if you're feeling girly.

A bit more black I think. Black purse, black pearls?

This is what I'm wearing today. Nothing special going on, just felt like glamming up today.

Thats right  and just because you feel like it is reason enough.

Stopped by my neighborhood Goodwill and luckily found a few tops and some jeans which is odd because I rarely find any plus sized clothing in that one Goodwill.

I usually check that Goodwill for movies and electronic stuff or books,

There's a big goodwill a block from where I live now.  I recently bought some jeans and a small shelf stand there.

 

I'm feeling down.  Crying all the time, confused, uninterested.

 

I only wore this dress out once, on Easter, to a couple girlfriends house, 5 years ago (when I still had some friends to go to).  Now I don't wear stuff that doesn't cover the shoulders or hide my upper body. 

 

I got it pretty good really.

Sorry im not more positive.  And for my lack of effort with hair and makeup.

 

Wondering how far I'll have to go with surgeries to help my "dysphoria"

 

Reaching out in the middle of the night that is my daytime.

You make that dress look great @Maddee! Thank you for sharing!

 

It sounds like you're having a tussle with the depression monster though. Is there anybody you can talk to? The depression monster is really hard to beat alone. At the very least, try to do something nice for yourself. Self care is super important when depression is trying to kick down your door.

 

No answer to the "how far" question though. That's personal. You just do what you need to to do feel right and it's different for all of us. I hope you find what you need.

 

Hugs!

Thank you @Jackie C.

I don't have anyone to reach out to.
Will keep looking- in the meantime I'll have to play halfass dress up and fish for compliments to keep going....

I don't know what the landscape is where you are, but over here when I feel sad and lonely I reach out to groups in the community. I'm introverted as heck, BUT I can mingle with other LGBT+ folks for a couple hours without coming off like a total freak. Are there any groups (I use Meetup, your mileage may vary) you could hook up with for something casual?

 

Chatting on the internet is great and we'll do everything we can, but at our heart, humans are social creatures. We really need that face to face connection to maintain our mental health.

 

Hugs!

Is there a trans group in your area?

Call the local LGBT pride center closest to you and ask them.

A local trans group really helped me to sort out my dysphoria.

I grew away from that group when they got too political and started taking sides on everything.

I still have my down moments but they aren't near as bad these days.

Feeling a little risqué the past couple of days…CC27A208-D1A4-4270-93D7-DCADC68EEE10.thumb.jpeg.bcce99b503c6faf6983fdf74a5a4c81c.jpegB3E89B83-A10A-4FCA-9174-1D47FC27BFC4.thumb.jpeg.1963d13b56ba2a6f7ae9bf249f9c7092.jpeg

 

felt pretty good, and fierce, these past two days. My Friday outfit was a bit more subtle in real life because it was rainy and gloomy, not bright lighting as in the pic, but still very oooh la la!

Looking good @Emily Michele! I am MUCH too old for either of those outfits. Also, I work with autistic kids so that wouldn't work at ALL for professional apparel. ?

@Jackie C. I just turned 47 years old, and as my mama says, “you are only as old as you feel.” Are you really too old, or do you just think you are too old? 
ever hear of a lady named Iris Apfel?

Don’t limit yourself with a number or a label. You’ve been unbending yourself from limits in other more difficult areas, why keep this particular restraint in yourself? I just buy and wear what I like… and I feel great and unstoppable in my clothes!

      If you could talk for 1 hour about any topic without preparation, what would it be? Mine would be music especially classic rock era.

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      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
