Been struggling through dysphoric melancholy and was looking through the pictures of professional makeover photo shoot. I didn't feel gender identity concerns until about 4 years ago at 64. It surfaced with a vengeance and I was overwhelmed by the feeling I am a woman. After 3 weeks of pain and research decided to experiment with presenting myself as I felt at business specializing in transformation photo sessions. I will show two of the photos from that session. This was the very first time I had ever dressed as a woman. The makeup professionally dome, my outfits and wigs were selected with their help. I can see my gender euphoria in the pictures. Unfortunately the business was closed due to the pandemic. If you have thought about doing something like I heartily encourage. It is amazing how affirming it is to see yourself looking so good.

These are very beautiful photos of you. I agree with Marcie regarding the first pic. In the first photo, you look a little more relaxed and comfortable.

 

Your feminine figure is amazing. Curves like that are to die for. I’ll also mention that the colors you’re wearing are very complimentary to your presentation.

 

Very nice, @miz miranda

@Marcie Jensen@Susan RYou are correct, I was pretty tired by the time of the second photo. The session all told was about 8 hours. I completely forgot to add my commentary on the difference between the photos. In the first photo my smile presents so much more joy and confidence. Although I was still enjoying the experience, I didn't let myself smile in the second photo.  Being a triathlete there is a technique used to cope with the discomfort in he later stages of the race, smiling. Research has shown the smiling can help diminish the negative thoughts and discomfort. As for the curves they are not mine but when I saw myself in the mirror it was bliss.

Amazing pictures here!  That Alice costume is really popping!  And Miz Miranda's pictures are over the top!  This is really something to work toward.  I think I'm pretty challenged with looking ultra feminine though.  None of the women in my life were very feminine.  I don't think I know anyone who wears makeup.  We've definitely got a hippie thing going on in my group of friends and family.

 

I took this picture a year ago.  When I came out to my best friend a couple weeks ago, his first reaction was "but you're bald!"  Of which my reply should have been, "What are you talking about?  I've got hair down to my nipples!"  I got some good pictures of my balding before starting HRT, so we'll see if it does anything up there.

 I got a quick picture as I stepped off the elevator headed in for a colonoscopy.  Certainly not my favorite procedure.

Had a great day shopping yesterday. I picked up 5 new pair of shoes and a new hand bag for $120. I really didn't need the shoes but got them because I found them in my size. Very hard to find shoes for my big feet. I also found two new dresses a pair of slacks and a skirt at the thrift store for less then $30. Shopping as the true me is so much more fun than in the past, so many more options and the colors are fabulous. Will post some pics in the next few days. Hope every one has a blessed day.

I keep finding myself all dressed up with no place to go, so I thought I'd start a thread to show off whatever outfit or fashion piece people are feeling good about and want to share.  I'll go first...

 

(somebody tell that lady to act her age) ?

I met up with a friend in town today.  We had talked about wigs in the past.  She had offered to go to the wig store with me.  (She knew the people - she knows everybody around here)

I have been too chicken to go on my own.

But I came out of there like this.

I can't believe how much difference it made. 

I am quite happy with this.

What a nice friend

And hair too!

Was it hard to decide on one?

I wanted something more or less grey of course.  There weren't a lot like that.  And I had thought I wanted something longer.  But again, most cis-women my age don't wear their hair long.  So that was a consideration also.   We tried this one, and I was skeptical.  But when I looked in the mirror I was like…  Wow!    What a difference it made. 

 

I still can hardly believe it.  I've been wearing scarves and hats to cover my head all along, so having it on just feels normal.

 

I feel like I'm on a roll here, with the name & gender change… and now this!

Seems too good to be true.

I'm a happy girl tonight.

I usually wear a track suit every where I go. I’m usually fairly happy with the ambiguity. Tonight though I felt the need to dress up in private. There’s a thanksgiving potluck next weekend put on by a gender support group and I aim to go in style. I need to do something about my hair though. It’s a mess. I haven’t cut it in over two years. I think I’m going to need some makeup too to cover up the potholes left by electrolysis.

Love your new profile pic, Ivy!! Sometimes change is good. You’re looking great. Best of all, you like the new look too and that’s all that really matters.

Hi @Aggie1! It feels good to dress up once in awhile. You’re looking good. I hope you have a great time at the upcoming potluck. Those types of engagements are the best. Let loose and have some fun with those who support you for you! 
 

All My Best,

Susan R🌷

      As has been said many times, this is not a black and white issue. Sure.  I get it that a MtF person that has gone through full male puberty and "transitioned" 6 months ago probably has an advantage in some sports.  But these bans affect elementary school kids too. I mean, banning trans women from Darts?  Chess?

      Worry refers to the thoughts, images, emotions, and actions of a negative nature in a repetitive, uncontrollable manner that results from a proactive cognitive risk analysis made to avoid or solve anticipated potential threats and their potential consequences.

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      Thanks.  I will look those up in the document, hopefully tomorrow.   I always look at the source on stuff like this, not what someone, particularly those adversarial, have to say.

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
