Jandi that is the way most people I run into act.

I don't get snarky comments or people screaming OMG its a trans person run away or they will infect us.

Most people couldn't care less what you are wearing.

I had a biker guy hold a door open for me when he didn't have to do and I am sure he read me as a trans person.

Most people are nice if you are nice to them.

Apologies for the delay, but this was what I was wearing on my first ever night out in my local town at one of the nightclubs on Friday night. I've never been out to one of the local nightclubs as Neil let alone Niamh, but I love drinking and dancing and after a meal with a friend we ended up at this place with a dancefloor and I can't help myself!

@JandiI love that outfit, it looks really nice on you. It surprises me too how much people don't seem to care.

@Niamhalso love that dress. Last night my wife, our friend and I went to the local gay club (never been to one before, never been to a club before at all) it was 'Halloween in July' so I thought, boom, I can rock all my girly glory and there's no walls! We got there and there were only three, very sad looking older men sitting at a small bar, the other sections weren't porn, no costumes, and our friend forgot her ID. So disappointed. Instead we went and hung out with another friend and his wife and another of his friends. So I ended up fully dressed (bra included! My wife got me one and I adore the little bumps they give me!) and met new people. Overall good night.

Don't feel you have to be restricted to just gay clubs you can go anywhere you want.

I know when first going out dressed you assume a gay club will be safe but a gay club can be just like a regular club.

Guys and girls drinking alcohol and flirting there is always a chance for trouble.

I have been in all kinds of bars being in the music business so always keep your eyes open to what is going on around you.

I totally agree about going anywhere. I prefer going out as Niamh to bars/clubs that are not specifically "gay" but it's good to hear from others if they received pleasant and courteous treatment. That was certainly the case for me a couple of weeks ago when I was travelling away from home as Niamh for a few days. I loved it.

Wish I could be more feminine at work but I do the best I can.  Though with the HRT a few changes are getting more noticeable

@Teri Annethank you so much! I don't really ever go to bars. I had 6 months of being 18 before my first wife gave birth and I never really partied before that. My idea of fun is being with my wife and kids and a few good friends are optional. I hate crowds. I'm highly empathic so even being in Walmart is like wading out into a stormy ocean. I've never felt like I was missing anything. I just get so uncomfortable in public, even cis-presenting. Like, I can't shop in the women's clothing at the thrift store without my wife beside me. Nothing negative has happened so far so I know that's all just me. Being in middle Alabama makes it hard for me to figure out what the heck is going on. I still can't get over the fact that it seems like all the homophobic and transphobia crap I've heard is just talk between 'bros'.

 

@JustineMwhat I see in that picture is a beautiful girl. I wouldn't think otherwise without a voice or body language.

Alice  never blame your situation on where you live and I know some think larger cities are more liberal but thats not really true.

I have been all over the south and north east and I found more hate and anti trans people in the north east and New England area.

People on trans forums talk about the "red neck good old boys" in the south being anti trans but from my experience they have been the most accepting .

I live in Ky and the people here are accepting for the most part.

My city has had a visible trans community since the early 1960s so here its common to see trans folks out and about.

@Teri AnneI am from Kentucky. I'm not sure what part you live in, but I found it to be the absolutely least accepting place I've ever been. And I didn't even have to deal with trans issues. I know it's not everyone but I couldn't go anywhere without seeing judging people, too poor, clothes not expensive enough, not the right family. I've found Alabama to be much more accepting. And I have noticed, like I said, that even the people here that run their mouths about gays and trans, tend to drop the act when you tell them you are. It's like they say it because they think it's expected and when they find that it's not our it's okay to not be negative about it, they just stop.

I'm not blaming my location, it's really just my own reaction that I'm pointing out. I'm still trying to build up my own confidence. 

 

(sorry, not trying to rip on a state, I've just had so many negative experiences in KY)

Ive felt accepted in "redneck" areas and unaccepted in very colorful rainbow spectrum places.  Who knows? Day by day I guess...

 

I want to feel love in my heart. Experiences to have and be.

Nice summery outfit.

 

Yeah you never know what to expect from a place.   Earlier on this thread I described a rather pleasant encounter I had with a very red-neck type guy over the weekend.

@Niamh
You look very much in the moment. 

 

Adorable dress, hair, and expressions!

Alice I live in Central Ky  but spent a lot of time  in Eastern and Western Ky when I was a truck driver.

You are right when you tell them what you are they tend to back down and seem fine with it.

I did Trans awareness meetings in small towns all over Eastern Ky and help trans teens come to grips with everything.

The mountain towns are full of really accepting people.

Of course you might run into one bad apple here and there but they generally walk away.

@Teri AnneI grew up in Western Kentucky. Marshall County, of all places. It might not be like it was 6 years ago or so, I've been down here for a while.

OMG you all are looking great. Madde- so cute and summer-ey. Niahm you look like you are having a blast.

I haven't been in a selfie place lately so no new pics.  Maybe in the next day or so.

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      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".

    • 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.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
