Kelly Clarkson!

Recommended Posts

After all those years growing up sneakily watching those afternoon talk shows problematically cover trans, or drag, or crossdressing topics, so amazing to watch the Kelly Clarkson episode yesterday. Laverne Cox, Trace Lysette, Harleigh Walker and a trans producer of Clarkson's show got to talk about being trans without the weird questions. Don't see the whole episode online yet but should be up at some point here:  https://www.nbc.com/the-kelly-clarkson-show

 

And here's a story from the producer: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/coming-out-trans-63_n_6508dc11e4b0fe763ab6a646

I haven't seen this, but it gives me hope that pop culture is getting better.

Looks like they have some clips on Youtube. Watching an interview with her producer who shares her story right now. ;)

Looks like maybe they wait until the week is up before they put up full episodes, maybe over the weekend?

      I had a job 18 months ago (for a short period of time) at which I was told I was to use either a single stall bathroom or ladies room. Worked for me. I don't remember the last time I used a men's room, other than a single stall when the ladies room was closed for repair.

      One of my dear supportive friends trotted out the term "manscapping" when I shared with her about how, impulsively and desperately, I'd shaved my arms and legs for the first time (this was about a month ago. I can't see ever going back to the hairy limbs.)   I'm like, "Hmmm. Actually I read a Wirecutter article on the best women's razors and per their recommendation, I went with the classic Venus 3 blade. And also found some useful articles in "Mens Health" (of all places) on the best ways for men to remove hair from various parts of the body.

      Right now it would be simply knowing who I am, and the resulting confidence I have in who I am. As an additional result, I now have a number of close friends who will give me a boost when I need one.

      My ex- wife and i have four adopted children, and have maintained relationships with their respective biological families. Sixteen years ago, my youngest child's first Christmas, and his grandparents came over Christmas Eve. Grandpa was dressed as Santa, and when he rang the doorbell, we had had our oldest, 5 years old, answer the door. Two 5 year olds and one 3 year old just about lost their minds.    It's a good thing I can remember that. I have no memories whatsoever of my Christmases growing up. Good thing. Don't need any of that piled onto my ancient memories.

      I've come to the conclusion that normal is a concept best left as a control on the washing machine.  It seemingly rarely truly exists in this world.   I do my best to simply let the fact that i wasn't born with a woman's body simply slide away.  I am what i am and accept it.  My wife once complained that i had never had a period or given birth.  I looked cat her with a smile and mentioned how cute and perky my breasts were in my 70's.   I don't have to be biological to be real.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Thank you so much for sharing this, Allie!   My favorite quote: "People are under no obligation to make sense to you."   @MaeBe I started to tear up when he said that these poor kids are being treated like perverts and freaks just because they're trying to exist.    -Timi

      Exactly. Seems a common theme. Cis people just have so much difficulty wrapping their heads around how all-consuming gender dysphoria can be and how it affects practically every aspect of our lives.

      YES!!!    I'm trying to grapple with a conversation a very dear and supportive cis woman had earlier this week where she felt it necessary to "educate" my on what natal cis women experience in this world, as I if I had never thought about it and was drifting in some sort of pink cotton candy fantasy.    It just hit home to me days later that she just doesn't know or can't imagine what it's like to be me. That I've thought of my unwanted dilemma from every angle possible for every day of my life, including those long stretches of life where my sustaining practices were denial, avoidance, conformance, and when all else failed, some sort of mind-numbing substance use or abuse.    Sorry for the overflow of words and emotions. What you wrote. Yes. I don't need to be "reminded" either.    Thank you @awkward-yet-sweet   -Timi

      Hi @Rishaya. Thanks for writing on this thread--it's been a long time since. It's good to take stock and see the progress I've made these last three years. It's not so much as to "figure out" my past or even to "understand" it, but merely to accept it and move ahead. Just to read all the stories of folks here tells me that Transgender is a very wide tent and that I'm glad to be under it. My father's family lived in Utica and then Rochester, so I know a bit of that country, I accept it anyway. —Davie

      T shirts that are marketed as unisex or men's don't fit me. They ride up my hips!  I can avoid the problem in two ways. Buying a couple sizes too big, or simply buying women's T's (I'm wearing one now).    My T's from Torrid are cut different and of different material. They just don't ride up my curves.

      I'm battling another UTI, but I'll come if I have enough energy. Thanks. —Davie

      Good morning everyone!!! 3 cups of coffee into the day and feeling good!! I have a few small projects to work on around the house so that should keep me busy and out of trouble. 😄   Enjoy the day!!!! 💕🌈

      I love that smile!!

      Please don't judge me......but I actually bought one a few years back.😱     I used a Norelco to trim myself down there for years and needed to replace it so I tried the Man-scape. I wouldn't trust it everywhere, though. Actually, I began shaving that area completely several years ago with a razor.   I put a new set of blades on the Man-scape and use it to trim my eyebrows, now. 🙃😁🌈   I'm so embarrassed.
