Well I finally hit a salon.  It’s not fancy, but I love it.

Your hair looks great @Lenneth! I hate it that my thinning hair means wigs - but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!🥰

Agreed lenneth, your hair look like it frames your face well compared to some of the before pics.  How was your experience?  I LOVE getting my hair cut. The whole growing it out thing for the last couple years has meant only 2 trips a year to the salon though.  I do have one next week.  YEA

Katie- those shoes are adorbs!

Would look great with capris or shorts as well.

For as much hair as I have, there is a noticeable thinning in the back up by the crown. I can mask it with a messy bun or if I style it just right but alas, I started HRT a couple years to late. the FFS helped with the receding temples.  I don't think my hair has continued to thin though.  I've considered whether it's worth it to do a light hair transplant procedure. I benefit from being tall so most people wouldn't notice anyways.

Good morning everyone! I finally came out recently and have started experimenting with more gender affirming looks, like a little bit of makeup (eyeliner, mascara and lip crayon) and women's shirts, etc in public and am really feeling more like my true self. I am calling to make my initial appointment today to establish care with a gender care services MD that will start my journey to transitioning. I still don't know what all I plan to do, but at least I'm taking the first few steps finally. I hope you all have a blessed day! ❤️

Everyone looks lovely as always!  Soooo jealous of your hairline @Lenneth!

 

Well, I did it, I shaved the mask I've worn for almost 19 years!  I have sooooo much more nose than I remember!!!  Lol

Now: sadly I'm "boy mode" here...  The closet comes at a price.

So today I went to the mall, to the library, to our local Wegmans and a liquor store looking like this. This should have happened yesterday for Trans Day of Visibility. It felt so good just to be me.

Guess I'll pile on @Lennethas well. Love the look. Next Friday I will have my first hairdresser experience. Haven't cut my hair at all in 2 years.

 

I don't have any pictures of what I'm wearing today, since I'm on day 3 of 4 having to wear non transgender visibility clothing. Depressing, actually.


Well I hope you love it!  And @Elizabeth Star, I took a page from your style book!

It does fame it more!  My stylist did that on purpose and layered the back more.  She did fight to straighten it, but it’s easier to lean into the curls now.  I am much happier!  Thank you!

I literally just threw his together to go visit a friend after work. I stopped at a smoke shop on the way over. As I was walking across the parking lot a random car stopped next to me and woman who was driving said she was obsessed with my outfit.  When I was in the shop the cashier complimented me on my outfit as well. Although I think she may have also been hitting on me.as well. I'm still a little too dense to pick up on these things. Regardless, I got two unsolicited compliments in less then 5 minutes.

That’s great! Remember that you will always be your own worst critic. I promise you won’t miss the Bearded Mask.

We are indeed!  Thanks I needed the reminder.  All I see is NOSE!...  and brow ridge.   I was however, pleasantly surprised by my chin and jaw line, I hadn't realized how much I was shaping my face with the beard.

That was me too.  It was a big deal to me at the time.

Kept some of the hair to burn from time to time when I feel the need.

See?  You got style!   I got some compliments on my boots, but for just "throwing that together" I'd say you've got a gift.  I love the casual "bad girl" look you have going on there too.  Sort of a "Yeah, I'm cool and I know it" vibe.

Shaving mine off was a big step.  I'd had it since I was a teenager.  I'd shaved it from time to time but more just to see what I looked like without it rather than wanting to get rid of it.  As a teen I looked much younger than I am which was a blow to my ego and problematic when trying to attend certain events.  I grew the beard so people saw me as older.  I remember thinking if I was afab, my breasts would have done that without hair being on my face.  But I got so used to it it became a part of the whole "male" persona.  The battle to keep it off while I try to get more permanent solutions is a hard one, but worth it, I feel.  I'm glad you took the step and I'm totally behind you!

heading out to see a sister trio band called "Joseph". I got this crushed wool "moto" jacket the other day when I went to the consignment shop.  Wearing a mock wrap plunging top underneath. I love it when my hair comes out exactly the way I wanted it. That is not always a given with this mane. lol

Spent the day road tripping with my local bestie down the Chesapeake coast to pick up a 20 ft boat trailer with my SUV for him. Wore this outfit plus my cute fleece coat as needed. Got down there and the seller was ultra cool, had some nice questions and we were all talking boats and planes and fun stuff for like an hour. Not uncomfortable at all, even working on the trailer without getting dirty lol.

 

What blew me away, was when I was driving home with the deal closed and in tow my friend told me the story of the deal. He was talking with the guy a couple days prior and said "just so you know, my mechanic friend is transgender. If that offends you I will be willing to call the deal off with no hard feelings. If it does not bother you, then we will see you saturday." The seller responded, "I appreciate your honesty and of course you both are welcome with me. How's about taking the price from $800 down to $600 because I don't want to have to deal with the rednecks that would be inline for it otherwise."

 

That made an already fun day even better :)💯

Out at my favorite snack bar in Naha, Okinawa, Japan. The bottles in the back are called, "Keeps." Regular customers--like me!--all have their own bottle. You pour your own drinks, and only pay for the bottle. When I'm lucky, I'm invited to other people's table and can drink from their keep. Actually, that happens a lot. LOL.

      Nothing wrong with that. I'm glad that you found what makes you happy! Just curious what does your wife think? If it's too personal I understand.

      Bob was on his way home from the dojo and he "just happened" to driver by her place. It was 10:30.  Her light was still on.  He knew exactly where she was sitting.  He saw her in his mind.   A fierce wave of desire that took his breath away suddenly showed up. All he had to do was stop, get out of the car, walk to the door and knock.  She would answer, glad to see him.  She would know why he was there and what he wanted. She would invite him in, maybe get him something to drink, disappear for a moment and return in "something more comfortable."  She would lead him back. Oh, joy.   And never, ever speak to him again afterwards.  Or she would not let him in but be angry about it.  In no way, emotionally, physically, mentally or spiritually, was she ready for this, and he knew it, if he was honest with himself, and she knew he knew it.  She would look upon it as another assault and their relationship would be irretrievably broken.  He would have to leave town. It would devastate her. It would devastate him.    He fought himself.  He was frozen to his seat as his reason and his body fought. He was twenty four years old, a full-blooded male with normal desires; he had just worked out and he was ready.  All he had to do now was open the car door. No one would know. He held his hands, one in the other, to keep one from moving, against his reason and will, to open that door.  He did not want to be a slave of his desires.   He looked across the street.  Mrs. McCarthy, sister of his landlord, was peeking though her window.  She knew his car.  Everyone in town would know by noon the next day if he got out of the car.  Taylor did not need that, either, and she would know, if he came to the door now, what a selfish thing it would be: in his own eyes, in the eyes of Taylor, in the eyes of the town, and worst of all, in the eyes of God.   He sat there a moment longer.  He was, as he reflected, entering into her sufferings in a small way that she would be made whole, healthy and happy: what he wanted more than anything.  But this hurt.  Why had all this come on her?  He asked God again, but there was only silence. He drove home in that silence. He chided himself for even going on her street and for driving on it other nights.  He would stop that, he told himself.   ------------------------------------------   The next morning Taylor went out to her car to go to work.  Mrs. McCarthy met her before she got to it. "I thought you were going to get lucky last night, dearie," she said. Taylor was puzzled. "Why, what do you mean?" "That young fellow - you know, Bob - he's been driving around here, going up and down the street some nights, not stopping.  Well, last night he parked and sat in his car for a while.   I think he was staring at your window.  I think he was trying to get up the courage to knock on the door. I was rooting for him.   But then he drove away.  Faint heart never won fair lady, as they say. What a shame. You two are a lovely couple.  Well, have a good day!" "Thank you, Mrs. McCarthy."  Taylor knew Bob extremely well and knew what had been going through his mind.  She was more than grateful he had not gotten out of the car. Better for him, better for her, better for everybody.  Surgery "down there" sooner than later.  This was driving the poor boy crazy. It was driving her crazy, too.  But she had a lot to work through. Surgery "up here" she said, pointing to her head.  She woke up her therapist on the way to work.  They were still talking when she pulled into her designated parking spot.  That was a perk that had happened yesterday.  She took a deep breath and headed into work. It would be another wild day.

      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.

      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🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
