I get some looks too, but...whatever.  I think I'm adorable. ?

I love your style! Black with white accents on the hat, shoes and necklace, purple glasses and scarf! No wonder you get some looks!

 This was taken 16 years ago. I was in Charlotte, NC. 

I was at the Betta Kappa Girls chapter meet. I'm on the far right, the little one.

By now I have been to many trans meetings, and many more to come.

I had learned so much from my peers, and it helped this time.

The lady on the far left is Meg, she was very new. She wanted more than just a meeting.

I ended up escorting her out. First the clubs, breaking the ice so to speak.

When all that was over I told we have one last stop. She freaked out when I pulled into the parking lot, asking me, are you sure?

I took her to Deny's restaurant. Main stream public. She had a very good time, her first time out in public, And I escorted her!!

 

Who felt better? Her or me? I have to admit I felt really good seeing her excitement, wow.

The important part of this story is all about the meetings, learning from others, I too was escorted out when I first came out.

 I had a lot of help, then I went out on my own and a new world opened up.

I owe it all to the LGBT, I didn't learn on my own.

Groups are the only way to go when you are just starting out. Knowing there are others just like you is a huge help.

in the vane of "here's me warts and all". lol

It's football Sunday AND an electrolysis appointment.  Normally I wouldn't combine them but my electrolysis person has been training someone and told me to see her for free 90 minute sessions periodically as a training and I get the session for free so.....

Not pictured are my Dolphin's themed sneakers and white capris

Pfft. You look perfectly respectable. Also, I'm guessing that that's the numbing gel? Good luck with your appointment!

 

Hugs!

I wandered out of my comfort zone again. Sans skulls and a minimal amount of black. 

 

I LOVE those colors on you though. Maybe you should invest in a skull pendant or earrings. You know, just so you never have to go without skulls completely.

 

Oh, or...

Just carry it with you. https://www.inkedshop.com/products/grave-digger-skull-handbag-by-killstar-black

It also comes in pink if you're feeling girly.

This is what I'm wearing today. Nothing special going on, just felt like glamming up today.

Thats right  and just because you feel like it is reason enough.

Stopped by my neighborhood Goodwill and luckily found a few tops and some jeans which is odd because I rarely find any plus sized clothing in that one Goodwill.

I usually check that Goodwill for movies and electronic stuff or books,

There's a big goodwill a block from where I live now.  I recently bought some jeans and a small shelf stand there.

 

I'm feeling down.  Crying all the time, confused, uninterested.

 

I only wore this dress out once, on Easter, to a couple girlfriends house, 5 years ago (when I still had some friends to go to).  Now I don't wear stuff that doesn't cover the shoulders or hide my upper body. 

 

I got it pretty good really.

Sorry im not more positive.  And for my lack of effort with hair and makeup.

 

Wondering how far I'll have to go with surgeries to help my "dysphoria"

 

Reaching out in the middle of the night that is my daytime.

You make that dress look great @Maddee! Thank you for sharing!

 

It sounds like you're having a tussle with the depression monster though. Is there anybody you can talk to? The depression monster is really hard to beat alone. At the very least, try to do something nice for yourself. Self care is super important when depression is trying to kick down your door.

 

No answer to the "how far" question though. That's personal. You just do what you need to to do feel right and it's different for all of us. I hope you find what you need.

 

Hugs!

Thank you @Jackie C.

I don't have anyone to reach out to.
Will keep looking- in the meantime I'll have to play halfass dress up and fish for compliments to keep going....

I don't know what the landscape is where you are, but over here when I feel sad and lonely I reach out to groups in the community. I'm introverted as heck, BUT I can mingle with other LGBT+ folks for a couple hours without coming off like a total freak. Are there any groups (I use Meetup, your mileage may vary) you could hook up with for something casual?

 

Chatting on the internet is great and we'll do everything we can, but at our heart, humans are social creatures. We really need that face to face connection to maintain our mental health.

 

Hugs!

Is there a trans group in your area?

Call the local LGBT pride center closest to you and ask them.

A local trans group really helped me to sort out my dysphoria.

I grew away from that group when they got too political and started taking sides on everything.

I still have my down moments but they aren't near as bad these days.

Feeling a little risqué the past couple of days…CC27A208-D1A4-4270-93D7-DCADC68EEE10.thumb.jpeg.bcce99b503c6faf6983fdf74a5a4c81c.jpegB3E89B83-A10A-4FCA-9174-1D47FC27BFC4.thumb.jpeg.1963d13b56ba2a6f7ae9bf249f9c7092.jpeg

 

felt pretty good, and fierce, these past two days. My Friday outfit was a bit more subtle in real life because it was rainy and gloomy, not bright lighting as in the pic, but still very oooh la la!

Looking good @Emily Michele! I am MUCH too old for either of those outfits. Also, I work with autistic kids so that wouldn't work at ALL for professional apparel. ?

@Jackie C. I just turned 47 years old, and as my mama says, “you are only as old as you feel.” Are you really too old, or do you just think you are too old? 
ever hear of a lady named Iris Apfel?

Don’t limit yourself with a number or a label. You’ve been unbending yourself from limits in other more difficult areas, why keep this particular restraint in yourself? I just buy and wear what I like… and I feel great and unstoppable in my clothes!

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."
