Weird. Your inner voice sounds a lot like mine whenever I hear "Roller Derby."

 

Hugs!

I just love those leggings.

 

I just noticed you backpack matches your watch.

Thank you!  My purse does too!

Today's a punky, wet, just above freezing day so going with "snuggly" sweater option.  Later today I'm meeting some girlfriends at a LGBTQ+ friendly Skate Shop that just moved to the area so one of them can get all fitted out. We actually have a roller derby crowd here which is what the shop is known for.  (inner voice: "I will not buy skates, I will not buy skates, I shouldn't buy skates, I shouldn't buy skates, skating sounds like so much fun, I will not buy skates, I will not buy skates.........")

First:  I love that outfit!  I want to find some pants with the flare/bellbottom cuff.  Outside of it just being nice, it’s really working well on that look.  
Second:  That shirt style is fantastic!  I must try that!  Where did you find that and is it a specific kind of style?

Third:  I would so pay to see you roller derby! There was an episode of the Netflix show Lucifer featuring a roller derby team, and I imagine you as the “tough as nails, take no nonsense” derby girl boss. 🤗

I don't think I would be the tough as nails type.  I cry when I break a nail now.  I think my name would be "not your Daddy"

Brunch anyone?

It turns out this ended up being a throwback outfit for me. I got an invite for brunch today and it's been a minute since I got dressed up and made up so:  This is an older dress sold through JP Penny that was actually my first dress purchased after coming out. (poshmark) It came with the cardigan. I paired it up with my oxblood knee high boots (first tall boots) and some rose colored freshwater pearls. (a gift from my staff when they threw me a gender reveal party the week I came out) Brunch was lovely.

Oh my god!  @Bri2020!  Girl!  That look is gorgeous!  How much was that dress!  That is just a stellar look!  You got the hair and jewelry just cherry on the top.  It just looks good on you! 🤗

Thank you love.  I think I paid somewhere between $25-$35 for it. Poshmark is pretty awesome. You just have to be  OK with buying things without trying them on.  That's challenging for us girls, especially early on in transitioning or pre-transition (medical that is) I prefer to thrift for that reason but I wasn't as comfortable shopping in person back then and I wanted a nice dress for work. As you can see from this photo of the first time I wore it to work 2 years ago the dress helped create an illusion of boobs and longer legs with the high waist gathers.  I think I had a "sports bra" on with an extra pad insert  to give some shape. And wow, I wasn't too good at makeup those first months. I tended to put too much on to help cover the beard shadow. lol. Now I can get away with much less since electrolysis has drastically reduced the beard.

I stand corrected, I just looked up my poshmark history. $15!!!

This is a similar concept just more summer colors and jacket instead of sweater.  $25

This is still a fantastic look!  Honestly, I haven’t really dived into the world of makeup yet.  I feel I’ll either wind up looking like a joke, a drunk harlequin trying to look pretty, or just stupid.

 

 

 

Clip is from the movie “The Quiet.”  Any questions about it can be sent to me and are welcome.
 

I battle with that beard shadow hard.  I haven’t gotten to a place where electrolysis is a feasibly regular option.  It’s worst around the entire goatee area.  I haven’t cut myself exactly, but I have drug the razor pretty hard trying to scrape off every piece of stubble and bristle I could feel.  Still can’t get it all.  I tend to cling to masks to cover up.  To the extent of just taking them off between bites at restaurants, taken at downward angles away from lines of sight.  Frankly I can’t see any beard anything there.  So if you’re bad at makeup there, you’re a virtuoso now, I’d imagine!

 

Quick aside?  Loving that necklace.  Shoes too.  I am not super comfortable with showing my toes yet.  @Katie Mmentioned a manicure in an earlier post and I am interested for sure, but I have thought of a pedicure as well to start getting them cleaned up and presentable.

 

I am currently running with the sports bra solution as well.  It already has a small pad in it, then I line with 4 more pads on each side.  Comes out to a large A or small B.  I like the shape it winds up with.

Headed to a party. The theme is "emo." Emo happened after I was adulting so... did I do it right?

Oooo!  Love it!  I couldn't pull it off.  @Elizabeth Star is my pick for resident expert with any looks in that ballpark.  She's got some awesome stuff.  I say 10 out of 10!  🦄

      Yep, I can see that too, especially if satire goes wrong.  I can totally understand why the uneducated hoi polloi think that gender identity and sexual preference (and now, pedophilia) are one and the same, and it weaponizes their bigotry. I touched on this in another thread recently when I asked the question whether the LGBTQIA+ umbrella was actually too inclusive and should be split, in an attempt to stop this sort of nonsense. I don't know the answer; while I think it is important for non-cis and non-het folk to band together, it leaves us wide open to attack.

      Good morning, everyone!   Sorry I've been absent so much. I truly miss the interaction with you all.    We have a new yellow Lab female puppy in the house as of Saturday so it's a challenge to find time to be here as we get her settled into a schedule, work on housebreaking and training, etc.    So, I'll check in as I can...when I can get a few minutes as she sleeps.   She slept 6 hours last night so we're making progress and we've been attentive to her schedule so no accidents in the house as of now.   She's consistently following the Sit command already - the wonder of puppy treats.    Be safe!!
    • April Marie
      New puppy. New schedule for now.
    • KatieSC
      Yeah, it is a real treat trying to combat the effects of an unwanted male puberty, or unwanted female puberty. Who will supply these kids with funding when they try to transition as adults? Insurance companies do everything they can to weasel out of paying for facial surgery, voice/speech therapy/voice surgery, and electrolysis. Not to mention the pain we all go through with these procedures that we may not have to endure as much with proper care at an early age. I cringe at what the next trans generations are going to face. The governor and his ilk, are typical of these super-majority R led states. Unless there is a huge change in the next 6 months, I am fearful of where things are heading. I feel like more bad stuff will unfold. I do not think they are done crucifying us.

      Good morning    Work day today, no pool time, and no dress.  Just a uniform top and slacks.   Thank you for asking about my wife, @Ashley0616 , she is improving all the time and getting anxious to be rid of the med vac.  She keeps telling people a couple mor weeks be even with the speed at which she is recovering, I think that is more wishful than reality.   i received both compliments about my dress as well as my ability to speak before the congregation.  My little frog was right there with me but then he is a permanent resident in my voice.  Some days worse than others and I never know until I start speaking.  Maybe I need a frog exorcism.  Oh our church doesn’t do that.  Shucks.   well the humidity is coming back today along with possible rain and warmer weather.   I guess a lot of you are getting hit with smoke from Canada again this year. I recall last year you could see and smell it here.  It a shame to loose so many trees when we need them for climate control.  I was surprised to learn the South Carolina was the largest producer of wood in the states. We have a great deal of wet and swamp land that the plant and harvest and plant again.  While some makes it to the mills to become construction material, mose goes to one of several paper mills.  Those trees are clear cut and trucked to the mills to be cleaned mulched and processed along with recycled paper.the closest mill to here makes brown board which become packaging material like corrugated cardboard.   i guess we have rather ideal conditions for southern pine tree growing.  That along with cotton, rice indigo, tobacco and cash food crops fruits and vegitables and pecans, can’t forget the nuts.  You can take that more than one way and be right.   enjoy you day whether at work or at play.   Willow

      I wasn't really aware of an emotional roller coaster possiblity when I started.    A few days in I realized i had been living with some tension that I was able to ignore until it went away. One morning it was just 'why I do I feel better than usual'?   So I googled around and found that it was possible to have such a result, I was thinking it would just take time for physical effects to work on my emotions.   Some talk about finally being able to cry, I have always been an excellent crier, so on HRT I cry REALLY hard.   But laughing was never really that easy for me, and now I laugh out loud way more often. Love that part of the roller coaster.
