I don't know if I'd take them out that soon, myself.  Certainly don't leave them out.  The big thing is  to keep them clean though.

There actually are a lot of straight guys with earrings.  My oldest son has had them for years and no-one would mistake him for trans.

true, but my family lives in dark ages, when I told siblings I was trans 1 told me no you're not. laughs. ok, you know better. anyway, was thinking 2 in each ear n be done, like most other girls do. mom would explode n tell me to quit being silly. inner feelings are not big in this family. shrugs

My piercer said: Don't. At least not for two years and certainly not for long.

 

Hugs!

You can take them out to switch off and all, but not leave them out.   Some posts are pretty inconspicuous.

April Marie, 

 

Good luck dear. Welcome to the club. :)

 

Got 2 holes in each lobe the other day at Claires and so far, i am happy about it. Only drawback? Well, mom doesn't really know about missy (i still change to go see her) and now apparently i need to do a video for a family member's special birthday during the initial healing period of my earing holes. Oh well, life goes on. If it doesn't kill us it makes us stronger. :) Besides, if they cant get over a couple of earrings, what will they say to HRT and breast growth? giggles and blows kisses to all.

Wow, you jumped right in, didn't you???!!! It's been 2 weeks since I had mine pierced and most people don't even notice. And, those who did were fine with it. I just tell people life is too short not to do what you want.

 

Now we can both enjoy shopping for new earrings!!!!

I've only got the 1 hole ears…  But now y'all are making me think about it.

I have a cis friend and, lordy, I can't begin to tell how many she has.  She talked me into getting the nose stud… at my age!  LOL.

April Marie,

blushes n nods, guess I did..but dear, been pondering missy soooo long..now it's sort of like heck, I'm gonna be happy even if you don't like me anymore or approve. shrugs. I know that's reckless but...so what. they're earrings, I'm not a child eating troll or a rapist..that's my rationalization to them

 smiles.

 

my friends noticed immediately

 giggles. hey, we got them to be seen n enjoyed.

once the newness wears off, I don't expect any comments of shock.

 

I went 2 because I saw most cis girls with 2 holes, so I want to blend. 

 

yes dear let's shop together n have fun just being ourselves 

smiles n hugs

      Hi @AmandaJoy Welcome, and nice to meet you! Congratulations on your Self-Affirmation!  As you've already discovered you're in great company here on this Forum.  It took me 60+ years also.   I understand your thrill and desire to proceed full-steam-ahead but that you've already realized to meter your Journey.  So, I will just end with what I tell most new Members when they arrive ... Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      @KymmieL do they have you on anti depressants?  Are they certain they are the right ones for you?  Has a psychiatrist been involved?  My physician first put me on an anti depressant and when things got worse for me he added one that was the initial cause of my cancer.  My therapist recommended I had a different need changed things. My psychiatrist agreed with the particular underlying condition and the choice of medications.   everyone is different but if one medication isn’t working there are many different types and different underlying conditions that require different treatments.  No meds mentioned because what didn’t work and what did all depends on your case, not mine.   Willow

      Loving yourself, what does it mean to you?

      By Cynthia Slowan · Posted

      To me loving myself means having the courage to live the way I want and to be me.     I hardly ever really like how I look but I feel good knowing I am trying to be the best version of myself that I can be. It is definitely a struggle sometimes though.  💗Cynthia

      What are you wearing today?

      By Cynthia Slowan · Posted

      I had a five hour road trip today.  I’m trying to grow my hair out so I just pushed it back with a pink hair band, lipstick and gloss, no makeup.    White spaghetti strap top, short black skirt, white sandals with pink toenails!  A couple of rings and bracelets, necklace and hoop earrings.   I felt like a hot mess but it’s my favorite way to travel!

      Glad you had a good day, @Willow Mine on the other hand sucked. I have been screwing up again, I even got written up. I may have to educate them on major depression and disability. not that it will work.    OH, well. May be another job I lost because of me. Yes, my depression is about down at the magma level   Kym

      This bag is really working out for me.  I had worn out the back on my yin-yang bag so I picked this one up.  It wasn't long before I cut off the flap on it and braided a hemp strap for it.  The zipper is the best feature.  I can spin the bag around and I'm not afraid of losing anything.  I've taught myself to keep all the essential things in it and nothing more.  Here is what made the cut:   Notepad Sharpie Ballpoint Pen Teaspoon Glasses Phone (most of the time) Wired Headphones and/or Bluetooth Carmex and/or Lipstick Flash Drive Current Braiding Project Wallet Hair Clip   And on my keys I have my one inch Swiss Army Knife with scissors and a bottle opener that I like using with mason jar lids.   I don't miss pockets at all now.  The bag is fun and practical.  I can set it on the ground to get everything off my body.  If I need something, I'm looking for a fairly large object.  I always have something to work on with the braiding project.

      Mine was Hatshepsut, an Egyptian pharaoh who had to carry herself as a male in order to rule. I was completely facinated by her as a student.

      Well it was a good day at work I got everything done I needed to do. My audits came out right and everything.  I had to fix the printer on one pump. It wouldn’t cut the paper and needed two parts replaced.  The District Manager left us Thank you bags,  Murphy Bucks and candy.  We can use Murphy bucks to buy things in the store, or pay for gas.  I guess next week the Area Manager will be around to check on things.  He would be the next layer higher.  Well my eyelids are starting to get heavy, time for a nap.thats the only thing about opening the store it definitely causes me to need a nap.

      Things You Do When You Was Younger

      Interesting point. I was raised Catholic and was intensely intrigued by the lives of saints. Similar to your obsession with Mulan, I was particularly drawn to Joan of Arc, a 15th century saint who took on the guise of a man to lead the French army to victory over the English in the Hundred Years' War. Later, she was sold out by the Burgundians to the English who brought multiple charges against her as a heretic, including claiming she could communicate directly with God (which undermined the church's authority), and wearing men's clothes. At one point, while imprisoned, she was made to dress in women's clothes, which she did, but was later found again in men's attire which she said she preferred. She was eventually burnt at the stake at age 19. Rather gruesome tale, but not atypical of the stories of Catholic martyrs.

      The Power of Guilt

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      I just read something a FB friend posted about guilt.  I am changing it somewhat for here.   There are things you should not feel guilty about because they are not wrong.  Being transgender is one. People like to send us on guilt-trips about it, intentionally or unintentionally.   There are things you have actual guilt about whether you feel guilty or not.  If you murder someone, you may not feel any guilt.   The FEELING of guilt can be widely separated from objective guilt. All of us need to train ourselves to not feel guilty about things we are not guilty of,, and to feel guilty about the things we are guilty of.  It is not easy.
