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.

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      Go Cleveland Guardians!  I love baseball and I loved playing it when I was younger.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

    • Ashley0616
      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
