Yesterday evening I went to a Retro Festival with my daughter. It was a wonderful time being able to be me in this great 1950s style dress and accessories. My daughter took this pic just after we had been to a swing dance lesson. We then went on to have a few drinks and dance away in the 60s music tent. :)

I like that dress on you. A LITTLE disappointed you didn't find a poodle skirt, but you look good in that outfit!

 

Hugs!

Everybody looks on fire!  

It cooled down a "little" today and I have to work so I broke out this maxi I bought at the $5 sale! The shoes I got off Poshmark. Even at 5'10" and heals I was still tripping over the dress so I did a little knot on the bottom so I don't end up in the ER. lol

OBVIOUSLY, it's meant to be worn with taller heels. It looks great on you though! I like the knot. It adds a little something.

 

Hugs!

You are doing this right :)

 

I met and accidentally misgendered a transwoman today :(

Not harshly, but I felt kind of awkward.  I went to find them a few minutes later and they were gone.  Hope you're ok.  Wish we could've talked a little more

Thank you @Teri Anne

 
You are always so supportive on this forum.  You're right, and I can keep this in mind when meeting new people, and trying to sense where they're coming from.

Maddee I have been at this/out since 2007 and I have found sometimes its best not to make gender expression such a big deal when meeting a new person.

Accept them for who they are not what gender you "think" they are. There is always a chance you might be wrong.

I have been misgendered so many times I lost count but I never let it bother me. I have even been told there is no way I was not a cis woman.

Reverse misgendered I guess you could call it LOL

Usually you can tell a trans person by the way they dress because they make sure you know.  Articles of clothes with rainbow flags or several pink colored articles all while still looking male to some degree.

Those type are trying to make a statement "hey look at me I'm trans"  Some are subdued trans that wear female clothes and make up.

However they decide they want to present is OK with me I accept them either way.

Me personally I went thru all of those stages and now I prefer to be seen as a woman not a trans woman making a "statement"  just a woman like all the other women out there.

I am 24/7 and don't hide what I am even my neighbors know about me and treat me as a woman that used to be a guy.

I hope my last post didn't make anyone uncomfortable because I wasn't talking about anyone in particular on this site.

Like I said I accept everyone and they are free to present anyway they wish.

Any one that knows me knows I am for freedom.

My new wedges came in today. It was a big surprise since I didn't even know they had shipped. Now I really need a pedi.

Where did you get them.

 

I found them on Amazon.

Liz, your new wedges really are cute and they look great on you.  Sadly, I have ugly toenails so open toe footwear isn't currently a good option for me.  Consequently, you have me envious.

Yep that’s my problem too! Years of training for marathons and now long distance walking have played havoc with them. I imagine there are lotions and potions you can apply! Something else to add to my bucket list! Lol

That's what polish is for ;). I have terrible toenails but a good pedi and you can't tell.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."

      I have read some of it, mostly in areas specifically targeted at the LGBTQ+ peoples.   You also have to take into account what and who is behind the words, not just the words themselves. Together that creates context, right? Let's take some examples, under the Department of Health & Human Services section:   "Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike."   or   "Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society. Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden’s HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on “LGBTQ+ equity,” subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families."   From a wording perspective, who doesn't want to protect the health and well-being of Americans or think that families aren't good for America? But let's take a look at the author, Roger Severino. He's well-quoted to be against LGBTQ+ anything, has standard christian nationalist views, supports conversion therapy, etc.   So when he uses words like "threatens the health and well-being of children and adults alike" it's not about actual health, it's about enforcing cis-gendered ideology because he (and the rest of the Heritage Foundation) believe LGBTQ+ people and communities are harmful. Or when he invokes the family through the lens of, let's just say dog whistles including the "penalization of marriage" (how and where?!), he idealizes families involving marriage of a "biological male to a biological female" and associates LGBTQ+ family equity as something unhealthy.   Who are the radical actors? Who is telling people to be trans, gay, or queer in general? No one. The idea that there can be any sort of equity between LGBTQ+ people and "normal" cis people is abhorrent to the author, so the loaded language of radical/destructive/guise/threaten are used. Families that he believes are "good" are stable/well-ordered/healthy, specifically married/nuclear ones.   Start looking into intersectionality of oppression of non-privileged groups and how that affects the concept of the family and you will understand that these platitudes are thinly veiled wrappers for christian nationalist ideology.   What's wrong with equity for queer families, to allow them full rights as parents, who are bringing up smart and able children? Or single mothers who are working three jobs to get food on plates?

      Well yesterday didn't work like I wanted to. I met a guy and started talking and he was wanting to be in a relationship. I asked my kids on how they thought of me dating a man and they said gross and said no. I guess it's time to look for women. I think that is going to be harder. Oh well I guess.
