would a short skort be appropriate for an older gal?

I have a short skort that I have had for a few years. I wonder if it is appropriate for a woman in her mid 50s? How about a short tennis dress?  I am looking at ideas for what to wear to my GYN appointment on Thursday.

 

Thanks,

I would wear one about anywhere depending on the weather. I am 73 so I hope that does not put you off.  Shorter skirts or shorts though can be a problem on plastic covered furniture if bare skin gets on it.  You have to pry yourself off it.

Sticks to leather car seats too. I've had to pry my legs off the seats in my truck a couple times already this year.

 

Thanks for the response.

I wear longer, knee length or bobo style skirts.  When i was new to being me showing a lot of leg seemed fun.  After all as a guy always noticed short skirts.  By the way, i still do.  As an older gal i've decided i don't want to turn heads.  Rather than "competing" with other women i simply want to blend in and live.  I don't need a line of guys taking second looks.  

 

Hugs,

I'll go the middle ground here and recommend dressing how you feel at a particular moment. We all like short skirts and fab shoes when we want to be noticed and feeling confident, so go for it! On the other hand, don't feel obligated to all the time; there is something nice to be said about a longer skirt, minimal make-up, and comfy shoes when you want to blend in or feeling a little less secure about yourself. Just do you and enjoy every day, no matter what your age!

 

As for your GYN appointment though, I have to point out that your doctor won't give a flip about what you wear (or how you groom) despite everyone thinking they do. And who are you trying to impress in their waiting room? Its going to be filled with other women who are only stressing about their own exams rather than looking at each other's wardrobe choices. If anything, they will be going in comfy cloths, so I would recommend doing the same however that feels to you. ?

I don't think my GYN has ever actually seen me wearing anything below the waist... The nurse checks me in, then it's all strip from the waist down and have this giant tissue to cover yourself with. The doctor will be in after a few minutes.

 

I've worn pride tops, because I like to remind him that I'm very gay. One of the first things he asked me about was trouble with P in V intercourse. I had to remind him that I'm a lesbian. How the heck would I know?

 

I usually just wear whatever. I usually go early (My GYN does 6am appointments) so it's whatever I'm going to wear to the gym afterwards most of the time. I guess now it's more whatever I'm going to wear to work. I agree with the other girls who posted. Wear something comfy that won't make you stick out. It's not really an outing.

 

Hugs!

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday

      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.

      You have grown more breast tissue than most some only get one size and that is it. I went from 42C to 42DD but I'm also taking supplements. It's risky to take the supplements but to me it's worth the risk.

      I'd echo some of the advice in Imma Asher's letter in the book To My Trans Sisters:   Take your time.  See yourself. Be proud.  Be strong. Indulge in the transformation.  Read more.  Put down the brow pencil.  Live.  And be happy.

      I hope that there is some kind of justice. It's very sad and it doesn't even mention the family and I could only imagine how they feel.
