my favorite consignment shop is having a sidewalk sale today with everything $5!  Picked up 3 dresses and some nice earrings.  This is what I plan to wear tonight to a town green live music thing.  Liz I thought of you when I saw it on the rack.

The weather is a little cooler today. Perfect for a long skirt.

Top is from Old Navy, L

Skirt is Apt9. It’s a Med but really big. I had to take in the side by 2 inches. 

Boots by Journey, 11

Necklace (one-off), hand crafted from reclaimed copper with a Hematite heart pendant.

Love those boots.  I'm really holding on to the illusion that summer will never end here. Today I'm running errands in the convertible, 85 degrees and sunny and I am the "redneck girl next door with bikini top and cutoff jeans. lol.

I’d definitely wear something like and I like the color too.

Speaking of wearing, I'm actually glad I'm not transitioning yet. Heat rash has me sitting shirtless in the shop trying to get the sweat off me while it feels like a thousand needles are stabbing me.

Advice. Wearing a shell necklace as a bracelet with a watch will tear up your arm.

Sounds horrible. I’ve noticed I sweat a lot easier these days. Probably due to body fat  moving to different places.

I have, I like it too. Was also considering black and turquoise but it depends on current hair color. 

 

Ooh, I usually go white with turquoise. I've got an awesome dressy racerback tank that I like to wear with my white jeans.

 

Hugs!

Have you considered black AND pink? One of my favorite combinations.

 

Ooh, mine too. My favorite combos are anything around the pink to purple range paired with anything monochome, like black, white, grey, silver.

I can usually un-white anything in about 15 minutes.

Can you do me? From my picture you can tell my complexion is (generously) "porcelain." Seriously, I use white-out as foundation.

 

Hugs!

Here’s today, yesterday, and the day before. Hooray for a strapless bra that fits and does what it supposed to do! There’s something to be said for spending decent money at VS. in other news, I’m healing nicely after surgery 2-1/2 weeks ago.

So, I'm not the only one? That's why I like my black. And yet somehow I managed to splash bleach on one of my favorite black tops yesterday.

Wow what wonderful outfits @Emily michelle, @Bri2020, @Elizabeth Star and @Maddee

Sorry I've been a bit distracted with work and stuff for the last few days. But yesterday I took public transport for the first time as Niamh to go and see my daughter in London. We went out for a meal and then to a series of bars and clubs in London drinking and dancing together and with other really nice people until around 1am. It's very unlike me and I failed to get any pics from in those clubs - I was just enjoying myself too much :) However I did get one of me at Paddington station on my way back home early this afternoon after having had brunch with my daughter and her boyfriend and I'm still wearing this dress...

@Elizabeth Starit did look cute, my wife picked it out for me. I tried switching wrists but it just pulled the hair on the other side and drove me crazy. There's pics of it somewhere back in this thread.

 

Here's something I've been doing. I get nervous and uncomfortable a lot in public with makeup or women's clothing on, then I start acting different and insecure and my wife ends up having to deal with it. My solution, soul surgery. I'm making sure to go out every time at least in makeup, at least enough to be noticeable. Then I refuse to let myself feel self-conscious, I tell myself that this is my world and I am a performer so I want to be seen. I stand tall and hold my head up and smile and I make myself feel proud. 

 

I don't know if this helps anyone here but I wanted to tell you all in case anyone did find it helpful.

I'm an absolutely useless performer. When I go out as Niamh, I don't consider I am performing as Niamh, I am just being Niamh who is a woman. The rest seems to follow naturally and I'm probably way more confident a person as Niamh than I am being Neil. I don't expect that to make anything easier for you, just that's how it is for me.

This is what I'm wearing today. I know. It sucks. But it's light enough to help an old girl clean a renovating house . . . and it's very slimming, don't you think? Wish I could clean the sarcasm off my mind, but it's going to take a lot more scrubbing.

I think it was Kate Bornstein that said Gender is something we perform.

But, yeah.   I just consider I am being me too.

 

I guess it's a couple different ways of looking at it.

Alice you are having to deal with you because no one else has issues with you wearing womens clothes or make up.

The reason you feel the way you do is because somewhere inside  you feel what you are doing is wrong.

My favorite designer consignment shop had it's $5 sidewalk sale this weekend and I scored 4 new items including this normally $115 Tommy Bahama dress!  I used to be that guy who wore Hawaiian shirts all the time and now I realized that my style has just shifted to summer tropics dresses!  I do however really need to up my shoe game so I'm scrolling through Poshmark for size 12 sandals and wedges.

Nice dress.

 

Shoes are a problem.  It's hard to find anything bigger than 12, and even those are rare.  (and usually tight)

I’ve circled back to an old outfit. Just thought it would be fun to post a then and now. The first picture is the same one from page 1 of this thread, back in November of ‘20 and the second is today. Same clothes just 9 additional months of HRT.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      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?
