Well i work at walmart not the best place in the world but a job, Most the time i got 2-3 days off in a row but now i only get like 1 day and it's killing me, SO... i looking around and found that nowhere in the Dress code rules does it state that males can't wear nail polish... So i am going to wear my nail polish to work starting today.

I am going to wear a nice black nail polish, Not in a goth way or anything i just like dark colors =) Blue,black etc And i have seen some girls wear black nail polish around the store so it should be all good.

If anything i can take it off around Lunch time if they don't agree with me wearing it, But then again i will ask why? and tell them it's nowhere in the dress code or a rule, Hell i could come in with eye liner,eye shadow etc etc and they really can't do anything about it.

I used to work at Walmart shortly after retiring from the Navy. I have seen male employees wear nail polish and nothing was ever said to them but I'm also in CA. I've been have my nails done lately and going to work, and no one has said anything to me, there maybe comments when I not around. Also I work in a male dominate field (water treatment) in a redneck area,but still close enough to the Bay to be tolerant.

I'm pretty sure Walmart has proven trans accepting if you do your job and don't have some kind of "agenda"....

Least from what I know :)

I was full time except at work, for about two years. I would use the Sally Hausen Diamond Coat clear hardner to get my nails to grow out, and it was shiny. To make it work I went to a hobby store and bought 'dull coat, which is used on model planes and model military pieces, and applied it with a bush. I later realized it was the shininess of nail polish that caught peoples attention. Good luck and come back and tell us how it went?

I wear more unusual colors most of the time. It's weird, but people bother me less when my nails are black, purple, blue, or green than if they're more conventional colors like red-orange or salmon pink.

I guess the odd colors let them write me off as a weirdo and leave it at that, while the more normal colors bring up more questions or something.

I just started wearing nail polish at work other than clear. I wear a white that is hard to see unless you look at it from the right angle. Next week I'm going to have a manicure where my nails are going to be polished with 2+ coats of white.

Do you present as "male" at work all the time?

Your Avatar is young looking.....I have to think that nail polish would be a non-issue as many Goth and other "metal heads" wear different nail polish....

Go for it!

I wear "bare to be different" by Sephora. It's a little expensive, but worth it. It's a light pinkish and makes the nail a touch shinny

I get stuff about my nails all the time at work.

That's a hard question really LOL, I don't present as Male or Female more like i just wear/look the way i want even when at work, Like i keep my hair parted to one side and in a pony-tail even at work, But i don't really wear women's clothing But i been thinking about it.... I wear things like a woman's ring and Necklace and i try keeping a clean shaving face, I am not young to most people LOL 29 years old and i'm not really into the goth thing more like i just like dark things :rolleyes:

I am thinking about wearing blue tomorrow as my black nail polish got all chipped today and i need to re-paint them :P

      Update on Bubba Copeland - the Alabama Trans Minister

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      I agree.  But sometimes unethical conduct must still be legal, because the cure would be worse than the disease.  One problem we have today with the internet is the trolls can gang up on someone and destroy them - we see the with school bullying as well.   He was in the Southern Baptist Convention, and maybe he should have moved his church over to say the American Baptists, who might have been able to help him. A Southern Baptist pastor is king in his church, peerless, which means he could not have gone for help in his church.  And he could not have gone for help from any other pastor in the SBC because they likely affirm the SBC statements on these matters.  I think he was stuck.    I read this when it came out in the news.  Very sad situation.

      One organization that I know of that is dedicated to assisting LGBT seniors is SAGE.  They advocate for, and have services for, all LGBT folks, not just trans folk.  You can find their website Here.  I am not sure what, if anything, they have in terms of financial assistance.  I'll let you know if I find anything else.   Carolyn Marie

      Texas AG Paxton & Seattle Children's Hospital Settle Lawsuit

      By VickySGV · Posted

      This was an angle that I was very suspicious of as well, and may be the hook on which the settlement was hung.      Not at all strange especially if they had former patients who moved there that still owed money on their bills or they were buying hospital supplies from a Texas corporation. They may have business licenses in other states as well.  Small loss, but saxeT shot itself in the foot there since the license was a source of income to the state.

      What are some of the ways you are validated?

      By RaineOnYourParade · Posted

      Nah it's fine, I'm past the point of really blaming them most of the time. I've gotten used to it, and they could be a whole lot worse.   I'm glad you have a good place, though <3

      Good morning All. Coffees on.

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      I wonder about the professional knowledge level here.  Men have milk ducts.  She, as a nurse, should know this.  This is interesting  https://www.livescience.com/45732-can-men-lactate.html  Yes, men can lactate and have lactated, trans or cis.  The idea that Birdie does not have milk ducts or tissue is just plain wrong.  Her statement indicates that she has not looked at the medical record, which she should be familiar with to treat the patient.

      Trans women can lactate under the right conditions. But that's not even the case in your situation.  It's so stupid how they simply refuse to accept your reality.

      What do you do when you feel triggered?

      By Ashley0616 · Posted

      It takes a lot to make me that way. Then it depends on which side comes out. I could simply walk away or be very confrontational. I'm used to being made fun of and criticized. I don't take to kindly if someone talks about my kids or family though.

      What are you wearing today?

      By missyjo · Posted

      aren't folks odd ..just dress differently..like pick to be a boy for today instead of the girl you're screaming you are really..so that I can be more comfortable...needs   I'm sorry   I have family wedding this summer too..I've said for 2 years I'm not going n I've skipped holidays for that period..now I'm being told I'd best be there in boy mode...yeah right..laughs   sorry. I'm planning on once again skipping the event. until you'll let me attend as myself, I guess you dint really miss me that much .so I find something else to do n just accept the number of folks who unconditionally love me is a lot smaller than claimed.  oh well.   good luck sweetie

      Mia, forgive me, I should have introduced myself. Hi, I’m Bette. I work with trans youth and I have many young trans friends; the other day I was at a party with 30-40 of them. If you’re envious of young trans folks I understand; when I left that party I broke down in tears thinking of all I’d missed out on as a young person. But I was also happy for them, and if anyone were to try and take away their happiness I would fight for them with all my strength.   I don’t know you, but it seems to me you’re angry about more than just your inability to find help? I’m very sorry to hear that you are struggling, but I hope you are not blaming young trans folks for that. Imo there is a generation gap in the trans community and it needs healing, not exacerbating. We are far stronger when we are united.
