I suppose so many women were mostly pants these days.  And bare legs aren't quite as scandaless as they might have been in the past.

My ex-sister in law always wears jeans and a t shirt.  Most of the women I know do, and dress up only for a special event, not particularly looking forward to it even. 

 

I'm in t shirt and jeans.

I'll wear yoga pants and sometimes pants but I don't feel female enough when I wear that except for yoga pants and capris. I mostly love to wear dresses. I have over 100 of them and even 14 are for winter. There are also a lot of days if I'm not going anywhere I might even stay in my nightgown. If it's church then definitely a dress.

I pretty much always wear dresses.  Doesn't the Bible tell me not to wear "that which pertaineth unto a man?"

I'm sorry I know that I was going to be accepted so I left the church I went to for the last 3 years and which I was still being treated like a visitor. I'm now known at the church I go to and they appreciate the volunteer work I do for the church. Thank you I try to be cute. I have a red plaid design dress and I found matching shoes just need to save up and wait for the season to be right.

There are numerous LGBTQAI+ friendly churches out there. You can likely find one you would like.

 

I am not sure anyone "declared war on us."   Feels like it sometimes, though.  It is a difficult situation.

Heh.

 

Wholly cultural.  There is an essay by a church father on how scandalous pants are. Floor length robes are the way to go or you are immodest. I have not tracked it down.

 

And the Hebrew is interesting here.

I haven't been in boy mode since May 2023. I just took a big leap and got rid of all of my men's clothes and haven't looked back since. Wearing men's clothes didn't feel good anymore.

It has given me an anxiety attack before.  I don't do it anymore.

I guess I was unclear.   I meant to ask something like, do they know you are transgender?

Maybe not the rank and file churches, but there are churches that pretty much have.

 

As for clothing today, 7/8 leggings and my button down ladies flannel shirt (buttoned down a little ;)).

 

I haven't gone out in full "boy clothes" in months. I have worn my old hoodies, but those don't count!

Yes everyone knows. I put up a pride flag last June and all but one neighbor doesn't talk to me. I publicly announced it on April 17th. I posted a picture of myself in a dress and thought the group was private on Facebook. Needless to say my sister asked me what that was about and did a group message on Facebook messenger to family and not even a month after that my soon to be ex abandoned me. I also joined this forum on April 21st. I have slowly been building myself up. Driver's license, Social Security, VA, DEERS, and just last week I submitted the paperwork for my discharge paperwork to show Ashley instead. All the bills are in my name and the only thing left is my birth certificate.

One thing I have repeatedly read is that TG folk are unwelcome in churches.  It might be good if somewhere you mentioned what kind of church you attend.  I would like to see those alienated from the church over this issue restored and it would be good if you pointed the direction.  I'm thinking of some that might be, but you are on the inside.

I attend an evangical lutheran church that is actually even closer than the church that I was originally going to. They accept everyone! I'm very lucky to have found that church.

Not to my knowledge is this true of anyone.  I think you may need to work on some issues.

Oh missyjo - I'm so sorry to hear that. 

 

If you on occasion find yourself in Cleveland, I invite you to visit Trinity Cathedral (Episcopal) - they are very LGBT+ welcoming.

This might do better over in the Religion/Christianity forum.  Many TG folk struggle with the church's sometimes misunderstanding of what is going on.

 

I like Mark Yarhouse's work and Preston Sprinkle's.  But there is a lot to stay away from.  I am disappointed in the SBC and Focus on the Family. Catholics seem all over the map.

      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!

      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US.

      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending.

      Hey girl  I had a problem like you happen to me also. In my first year of estrogen I had a period where my level were good then they got really bad where my testosterone spike high.  I felt like you with all that disforia coming hard. Our bodies need time to adjust. The process is a real pain in the beginning. It levels out eventually and you don't even think about it. Hang in there hugs

      Biden's woke agenda?
    • KatieSC
      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.

      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.

      It’s never been about him, but he is the Presidential nominee for the Presidency that starts in…2025. I don’t see a lot of conflation that this is a “Trump doctrine”, it a doctrine that benefits him surely, but it is a plan to instill crony governance and enact very Christian conservative (if not purely Christian nationalist) “order” on the country. If you don’t see this as the Right doubling down on Big G government, I don’t know what to tell them. Getting rid of agencies and giving the authority directly to the Executive isn’t shrinking government. It’s consolidation power. 
    • MaeBe
      It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same.   In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”.  So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”.  Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.
