Hi everyone, please excuse me for breezing in once a year and disappearing again. This is me currently, pink mohawk trying to hide the need for hair transplants, but feeling fantastic and free and fortunate. 

Good evening Betty K,

 

You're always welcome to drop in and out whenever you choose. I won't lie, we're in great company when you're here. I love the pink mohawk, and your dress look comfortably cool, as do your gloves.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,

@Betty KYou look beautiful! I wish I had your confidence! I’ve yet to buy a dress - skirts and blouses for me - but hope I can find something that looks as good as you do. Thank you for your inspiration!

Thank you, @April Marie! If it makes you feel any braver, I find people are generally very accepting. I’ve been dressing quite flamboyantly and not passing for a few months now, and have had virtually zero kickback. I also get lots of compliments — almost all from women, of course. I think it inspires them, to see a proud transfemme living her best life.

I do as well, and I don't really "pass" very well.  But they will complement my outfit, nail color - stuff like that.  And yes, it's almost always women.  Can't really remembering a guy doing it.

Isn't it lovely? I find it really heartening.

Not ready for the full body shot yet but thought I'd share pics of the flats I'm wearing today with my skirt/sweater. For those of us with larger feet - I wear a 10.5 to an 11 in men's sizes - I found this brand (Ataiwee) on Amazon that offers some larger/wider sizing options. I have two pair that are slightly different in design - these are black - and the women's 11.5 Wide fits me perfectly. They were $36.

I looked at Amazon and the flats there, while very nice, tended to only run up to 11's.  

Sigh…

Look for Ataiwee Women's Wide Flat shoes - the normal widths only go to an 11 but the wide ones go up to 13W.

Every day, I get here swearing I'm going to post a full body shot of what I'm wearing or of an outfit I've worn....only to chicken out. It will happen, though!! I'm still just very self-conscious....and a bit fearful since I'm not out publicly.

 

In the meantime, here are the ankle boots I found on-line at DSW in size 12. For next fall and winter, I'm hopeful I can find a pair of knee-high brown boots to wear with my skirts. But, I'm loving these ankle boots with jeans.

I bought this dress from my friend's vintage store the other day, and wore it to see her sing at a warehouse party (where this old car was stored) on Saturday. Someone at the gig told me the dress is a copy of a "mud" dress, from Mali. I had no idea, but he seemed impressed. Later that night I sprayed habanero sauce all over it courtesy of a clogged-up sauce bottle and had to go home and change before attending a Pride party. It was a lovely night.

      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.

      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far... 
    • EasyE
      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.
