Apologies - Not sure why this link doesn't convert to showing the picture. I'm sure I've used the same process as previous to copy the link from Onedrive

I really didn't want to get out of my tights today after my workout but they're just no work appropriate. Today is a thin polyester top from Loft that my sis gave me for xmas and some parachute slacks gifted/hand me down from a staff member. Necklace is a nice middle eastern thing I found at a thrift shop. Shoes are DSW.  Socks aren't really right for this but they don't show unless I cross my legs and it's COLD today. lol

I'm realizing I have A LOT of clothes for just coming out 6 months ago.  ?

This blouse really exemplifies the challenge of sleeves for taller trans women. These were meant to be wrist length.

It actually looks like a normal 3/4 length sleeve. It still works well for you @Bri2020 but I’ve had the same issue on a few tops myself. You look great, btw!

You look amazing Niamh.  I'm loving every choice there. The butterfly is gorgeous.  I've realized I like the larger impact/statement pieces.

We keep mentioning workout clothes, so before I go back to civilian attire, this is what I wore to the gym today.

Though I was still wearing my tennis shoes then. I don't LIKE to wear my gym shoes outside the gym. Normally they just live in my gym bag.

Looking fit!  Do you use a national gym chain and if so which one?  I'm contemplating going back after I get vaccinated but have some anxiety about being trans in a gym environment pre-surgery.  My lifetime gym said their locker room policy is use the one you Identify with but I'm not comfortable using the woman's lockers when I still have man parts and certainly don't feel comfortable on that side now that I'm growing breasts.  It's all very anxiety inducing.

I would go with whatever gym policy is.

How odd would you feel in the men's locker room with breasts?

You could just not change at the gym so that is an option.

My workout partner thinks I can still drop another 50 pounds. I'm skeptical. She has a female relative of similar height, but I'm built a little thicker.

 

I use LA Fitness. My club is on the smaller side and happens to be within walking distance of my house (big plus). I actually felt the same way about the locker rooms, even if I wasn't getting naked (I shower at home because my skin is ultra delicate and I'd have to schlep like 100 pounds of product along with me. Also I CANNOT touch chlorine because I go up like an Alka-Seltzer tablet so public filters make me nervous.) Anyway, they have a unisex bathroom/changing room that I was using from the point I learned it existed until after my bottom surgery. Single occupancy, but I felt SO much better using it even if I did have to wait now and again for Xena (that's really her name, and she was the only other member who usually used that restroom/changing area. She liked privacy for her showers).

From experience, I can tell you "pretty odd" like a spider on a hot plate. It got weirder when somebody noticed and said, "You've got some balls coming in here with those."

 

Seriously, what do you say to that?

 

YMMV though because I've ALWAYS felt super-uncomfortable in a men's locker room.

 It depends on what I'm wearing. If I have a blouse or dress that comes up near my neck I prefer long pendant type necklaces. That butterfly and another teardrop style necklace I got from a private seller on ebay for £2 each. And I love the butterfly.

I find it strange that straight people worry so much about other peoples body parts. What they have or don't have LOL.

Transphobes are the worst when it comes to worrying about stuff like that.

Transphobes are EXTRA creepy. I mean I can look at another woman and think, "Damn, I wish I had a butt like that." A transphobe will look and think, "What's in her pants?"

 

Who does that?

Sorry...Saw this and my inner silverback came out and instantly thought of something far worse and would be totally game for battle, worst then a charismatic raging D&D barbarian.

Though, I'm not you, if I was in your position my answer would lean more towards using snarky charism like a Bard trying to defuse a barbarian using the truest of weapons... comedy.

 

"You bet right! But not by choice... honestly I prefer the top weights to the bottom ones. Balls just don't make the cut for me. Also once again...not by choice. We all have preferences, too bad we can't have everything we want right away. Crazy world right?"

 

On the main topic, love your black tang top with the the dead lifting trash panda. It's adorable.

I'm now wearing stretch bell-bottom leggings a thermal turtleneck and a thin oversized sweater.

?Need to do my butt exercises or else there will be problems with movement.

Yeah, that was the safe answer. Other things that flitted through my mind:

 

"I'm sorry, but if I leave them at home, they cry."

"I assure you, balls had nothing to do with it."

"Where did these come from?!?"

 

Still, I'm a white woman from the Midwest. We're not all that confrontational most of the time.

Part of my personal hate of just simply walking around alone in the city dressed female is pigheaded nutbags that think I don't take notice to there pathetic attempts to catch me with misogyny. I scared my dad once on the train cuz had the nastiest bitch face on simply because it keeps the majority of crazy asswipes away. Thing was I was relaxing and felt a dude plop ontop of me randomly, not the first time and it's rude, but it was just my dad thinking he was being cute...My looks are deceiving and I will be the rabbit from Monty Python's holy grail movie. City life guts your innocence quick and leaves you with lots of practice. Before you know it, you find yourself smiling like a wolf but it's not a smile, your fangs just constantly are on display.

Went to the laundromat; Denim skirt, black leggings with my black suede boots, and a very warm sweater.

Back home; swapped the sweater for a lighter shawl.

The advantage is mine then. As a trans-woman in her 50s, nobody is especially interested in approaching me. Also, the public transport in and around Detroit basically doesn't exist so getting creeped on while on a train or bus ride isn't likely. Just doesn't happen.

 

Then again, I can abduct 225 pounds and maintain it easily. I can crush a skull between my thighs like a robin's egg.

What I wore to work today. I was seeing how my new silicone breast forms fit and looked. I work as a delivery driver for Jimmy John's, but honestly I never took my parka off.

I'm apparently a fat 165-170 lbs at 5'2" but my family have heavy muscle density and tend to sink like stones unless we maintain swimming like sharks. Clothing that fits for me properly is hard to find generally.? Tend to stick to baggy look cuz I just curl up in the extra layers. Stretchy turtleneck thermals shirt and cargo pants are my jam.

OK, so you're more built like a friend of mine (she's a touch taller but until she told me I could have SWORN she was taller than 5'4"). Doesn't mean anything though, she's been practicing martial arts since junior high and could probably kill me if she wanted to. Then again, she has an intersex condition and is sporting more testosterone than I am on any given day. I've never seen anybody give her a hard time either, but she goes to a private martial arts gym so I imagine the etiquette is different.

? They look natural to me. Even with real ones, you need that Parka outside in the cold, it hurts less. My favorite coats are the ones that are like sleeping bags with arms and fur trim.

You look happy! How did they feel for you? They seem to be the right size for you.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Been taking it real easy.Another good neighbor of mine and his 15 year old son came over and cut down a couple dead trees on my property.Knew not to do it taking it easy.I had them put the wood near my fire pit in the back yard.Did it and happy where they put it.They knew I had stents put in and needed to take it easy
    • Ashley0616
      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one. 
    • Ivy
      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you
