Loving all the autumn looks, friends! ?☺️

Here in South Florida, autumn means it's in the mid to high 80s occasionally, lol. I love the heat, though.

I came out last week at a thrift shop where I'm the assistant manager.  Saturdays are our busiest day.  This is what I wore today.  It felt so good to just be myself at work!

Sorry… not sure how that last pic got in the post… not intended. It was from the website that I bought the dress from. It can be removed @Jackie C. 

This one is for you Emily

You look comfortable @Becoming Diana in that photo.  I see your name tag has Diana on it too!  I hope it was a good experience for you and that you enjoy more of them.

I so love seeing everyone's style.  There's a sense of happiness in these pictures.

 

I really liked my outfit today.  In my business, I can dress like this and some people still call me bro, but one fan mentioned my transition to a friend of mine.  At one point he came up to the stage and said to me "I see you...and you're beautiful".  It was really affirming.  I'm not exactly out at work, but I'm not doing much to hide it.  It's weird transitioning in such a visible occupation.  It could be a bit disruptive when I go full time...we'll see.SFS-01.jpeg.3887f0d66ed7e6dfaebda2d23d1e37c2.jpeg

That's FANTASTIC. Especially at work. I know for a fact that I would have killed someone by now if I was still suppressing myself in that kind of environment.

Some people are just oblivious. Those are obviously girl hips. Then again, I think we all get misgendered sometimes. So long as there's no malice in it, right?

 

Kudos to the fan who saw the real you though. That's amazing!

 

Hugs!

How? How can anyone call you bro? Well OK, maybe if you have a deep seeded history with them and they're just way too close to see the obvious but, but.....

If people have known you a long time, they still see you as who they knew you as.  They just didn't know all of you.  Perhaps over time they will see it.

@Becoming Diana You look great.  That smile is perhaps always the best part of anyones wardrobe!  You have a dream job for me.  I spent a great deal of time at thrift stores as i found my path.  I was able to find a style in my size without spending a fortune.

 

Hugs,

It was a fabulous day.  One lady told me i look very fetching.  One older man still called me "Sir."  But otherwise nobody else did.  Maybe my outfit was feminine enough to at least confuse them into not knowing what to call me so they didn't use any gender marker at all.

I had an anxiety attack at work two weeks ago from customers calling me Sir.  That's when I knew I had to come out.

Thank you!  I have to admit much of my wardrobe has come from that shop.  It has been a real  boon.

No new outfit for me today but I did get my hair done. I just my stylist do whatever she wants. I love it!

No shame in buying clothes at a thrift shop I do it all the time and have for years.

I can afford to buy new clothes but I just can't justify spending crazy money on clothes.

I love clothes shopping and to me its the thrill of the hunt plus you never know what you will find.

It's so great to think I still look like such a dude, then have others say "no you don't".  I appreciate the comments a lot.  It's so true, the people who have known me the longest have the hardest time seeing it...including myself sometimes.

 

Great hair Liz, wish I had a house-call-hairdresser.

 

Wish someone hadn't stolen my lady's P coat, that is classy.

 

And I wish Diana's thrift shop was in my neighborhood...I would visit often.

I agree 100%.  It's such fun to poke around and hopefully find the perfect piece! 

 

@Ann W you look great in that photo.  I think there will be those that see you as a guy because there just aren't many women guitarists, and androgyny is not uncommon in the music business.  Personally, I love your style!   Rock on!!

Diana, you look great. 
This picture just made a connection… I’ve seen it before, and then I double checked, sure enough I follow you on Twitter. My account is @MmindyMoore and is locked because I’m not out publicly just yet. This means you can’t see my tweets until you make a follow request.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and safe.

Occasionally I look back on this thread and all I can say is wow! Everyone has come such a long way in the year I've been here.

      I'm thinking about some interactions yesterday I did, while presenting as male but acting as female, that were far better than I did when I was presenting as male and acting as male.  #girlunderhood. I do a crappy job at acting as male and I am giving it up.  I am not talking about feminine gestures or presentation but just relating as a woman.  People don't realize I am doing it but it is a whole lot easier to do.   You don't just put on a dress and BOOM you are a girl.  You are a girl and you put on a dress.  Or not. Whether I am in jeans or a skirt (I wish, wife would have lots to say) I am a girl.  I don't need $250 in makeup and heels and hose and all that.  I don't need surgery. Honey, I have arrived.  Now I have to work out how that best works in my life, causing the minimal damage and creating the maximum good, but I have more working room.   Oh, and I am still pissed off at everyone and everything. #Contradictory.

      @Willow it is certainly possible that my husband planned it. Placing me in the path of an opportunity....he certainly does things like that. GF has done some work for the company as an outside consultant, so I'm sure the company owner knows what potential resources are around.    It could also have just happened randomly. He has taken me to work with him before, just because he likes to have me around. I remember one time that I fell asleep with my head in his lap, and he held a meeting with his subordinates without waking me and making me move.  The company culture is family oriented and relaxed.

      The photo is great.  Software is phenomenal but it also is sort of a promise of things to come. Years ago this sort of thing took a photographer and Photoshop and all sorts of things and you would say, "I can look like THIS??"   Me, I am a duck.  That's from my driver's license.  Just kidding.

      I lucked into that picture. I took like 10 before that, which appropriately make me look like a donkey. ;)   Thank you so much for the compliment!

      This is a great analogy. The statement is true as it relates to the tree. The analogy fits because we as a LGBTQIA community are stronger when we stand together. It also work here on Transgender Pulse Forums. The support I feel from so many others has made me comfortable with my stance, because I'm in a beautiful forest of friends. So when I'm out alone and confronted. I can respond and act like the single tree in the field, surviving whatever comes my way. My roots reach back and communicate with others like me.    Standing Strong,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Mindy, that would be so awesome of you.  Please make the edit for me, and thank you so much!

      M.   The term bigender works for me because after taking the time to explore my feelings, I kept coming to the same conclusion, that while I felt an overpowering need to express my inner woman, I also enjoyed being a man.  I realized that my personality was equal parts man and woman and to be happy and fulfilled, I needed to express both sides.  There are challenges living a life of two-gender expression, but I'll expand on some of those in future posts.     Hugs,   Sally

      Sally, a moderator can edit the post adding "Post 3" if you would like. Let me know and I'll be glad to take care of it. That way your numbering system is in tact.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I thought Hey, I can't be experiencing Gender destroyer because it doesn't fit the narrative, but Hey I can. I am experiencing mild discomfort in relation to my gender. Because and that can be a form of mild form of it this forum because their elements of my gender that are out of alignment with my sign gender at birth. There are elements of my gender I have been holding back on some I did not even know for fear it did not fit was told was not very manly or in some other way not correct for someone who is an amab. I tried embracing and expressing some of these parts of me even for just a little bit every once in a while and it feels like a relief to me like a weight has been lifted.
