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.

      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.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you
    • missyjo
      April sounds fun..I keep some boy jeans to visit mom in..fir now   hugs
    • Ivy
      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.
    • KathyLauren
      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie
    • Ashley0616
      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again. 
    • Willow
      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
