What are you wearing today?

Today was my first ever Pride event. I didn't wear anything flamboyant or colorful. Just wanted to be a version of my true self I hadn't tried yet. My therapist told me that I should try wearing sleeveless this summer, a style I've been avoiding. So I gave it a go today, and I confess that was shocked that I felt more alive as my true self with this simple dress than I thought possible.

I have a bit of this as well.  Not at home of course.  But I do have a fair amount of ink on my mostly upper arms, and some of it seems kinda guy-like.  I don't think that is a conscious problem but IDK.  TBH some of the tats are a bit fem for a guy.  (LOL another clue I missed?)

Usually if I go out in a sleeveless dress, I'll drape something light over my shoulders.  Maybe I feel the shoulders are too masculine, and the boobettes are on the small side.

I don't know why I worry about this stuff.  The fact is I don't exactly "pass" anyway.

Those have basically been my issues. A few weeks ago, I showed my therapist a couple of sleeveless items, and told her my concerns. She had never seen my shoulder tats before, and said that she loved the look, and to just go for it. My daughter told me yesterday that I just look like a bad*** chick. So I've been going sleeveless the last few days on my long walks. Learning to embrace it. And, of course, nobody at the Pride party would question anything.

I'm wearing a pair of light green crop pants and a navy popover with embroidered flowers on the 3/4 sleeves and white sneakers. The top is the one in my avatar pic - my new favorite.

I've been itching to wear a skirt all day. Why is that urge so strong!! Still not public with all this so had to wait till the rest of the family went to bed... Sitting at the computer and getting ready to say my evening prayers wearing a simple red denim skirt with a peach-colored T-shirt and peach socks. Not quite sure if it's all matching but hey I am comfortable...

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.

      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

A ballot initiative is going to go absolutely nowhere. They're wasting their time.   Carolyn Marie

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..

      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒

      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.

      I feel a little better about going outside. I got my EpiPen just in case of an emergency. Today was rough started euphoric and then depression hit real hard and I don't even know what it was about. It just happened. I want to see a bright future but it turns dim because of something. I was disappointed on how much supplemental insurance was more than regular health insurance. I enjoy seeing other successful people making it as a couple through everything in fact I cheer them on but it just makes me think if I will find anyone. I barely dated anyone when I was physically fit male and then it seems the older I get it gets harder. Not to mention everyone down here leaves as soon as they find out I'm trans. It's only going to get more difficult because of borderline personality disorder. It's dang near seems impossible that people would even put up with that. After all that I'm still trying to be positive and hope for the best but I always expect the worst and that has always been the case. Pushing 40 and I haven't even experienced true love.

      Good afternoon everyone,    I’ve been working in the shop and preparing a few training props for shipping. So my responses and activity here has been very slow. I’m doing well just real tired.    Hugs,    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      That’s good news, listen to your doctors and your body. You may be asked to start a daily exercise routine and walking around the neighborhood. The worst thing you can do is become sedentary and laying around.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
