Heels and stairs


Guest Mikkiapolis

Recommended Posts

I have a heel story from today. Mind the tiny gap at elevators! Yep I stuck mine right in there, I have been oblivious to that gap because it's small size all my life...

Yep! I did that a few months ago and wrenched my foot pretty hard. It took a second to re-compose, get my shoe un-stuck and back on my foot. Thank the stars that nobody witnessed it!

I've been on a hiatus from heels for a while after hip surgery. Wearing them again today was a joy... and a challenge.

Love, Megan

As someone whos lived as a woman and worn high heels most of their life - its a definate no no to climb stairs placing your heel on it - its dangerous, only the ball of the foot goes on a step....................its nothing to do with being a woman - its just a safety thing

I've always walked up stairs on the testicles of my feet, unless they were relitivly large steps like the ones in the Lincoln monument in DC, heels or not, it's just easier for me, going down if I'm in flats/boots/sandles/sneakers I'll walk on the testicles but if I have more then 1/4inch of a heel ill step fully on each one the whole way down

*face floor* *mumbles into the floor* thank you technology for making me some kind of freaky mutant

It's even worse when someone appears to actually take it seriously and goes away thinking "You have testicles on your feet?" and doesn't check back and realise what is happening. :(

Don't worry about it. You're not the first and you won't be the last.

At 1:30 the shoes are a size too big for the wearer. Had those been on my feet, they would have slipped straight off; especially if I was wearing stockings. Heels have to be a perfect fit for me, or else they flap up and down like a pair of flip-flops. However, gel heel cushions cut in half and stuffed down the gap between the heel of your foot and the back of your shoe help enormously. Stuff in as many as required

      Did you ask her if there was anything particular you need to learn from the BIble?  Any particular book you should read? Result she wants you to have? Did you ask her if she is reading her Bible, and what she is getting out of it lately?  What is the Lord speaking to her?   It shouldn't be a one way thing.

      I would like to, but I don't obsess over it.

      I apologize for my part in side tracking the discussion.

      Comparison can be deadly.  If the 23 year old beauty queen is the standard for women, all others are not real women.  If Jocko Willink is the standard for men, all other men are not real men.   I read an essay about the mermaid and transgender people. There is a statue of a mermaid in a Danish harbor.  She looks wistfully back at the sea, where she cannot go because she is human above, but neither can she walk on the land, because of her lower half.  Psychologists have noted a fascination with mermaids by trans kids.  TG folk, using the mermaid analogy,  can feel like we can neither mountain climb nor explore the depths because of our condition, but there is plenty we CAN do.  As humans we can both climb mountains and explore the depths.   Not all women give birth. Not all men become fathers.  Not all men can pull cable wire all day long, walk iron safely, or heft 600 pounds in a dead lift.  That does not mean they are not men.

      Sally, thank you for deciding to post your life experiences. They have certainly struck some chords with me, and have caused me to look again at my life and where I am going.  I will not take up your thread with my thoughts, but suffice to say that I was commissioned into the military (RAF) as an aviator in 1963. Fortunately my cross-gender feelings were mild and easily suppressed. It is only in later life that they have come to the fore.   I look forward to reading more.   Karen

      I tried the superglue and it didn’t stick to the plastic bag. So I am using some chicken cutlet forms until I find a cheap replacement or go more permanently and get top surgery. I just need to get a therapist note for insurance to cover the surgery. I’ll use Tegaderm repair on the ripped on special occasions like my cousins wedding.

      The bridal shower went very well. My wife, mother and I went. We bowled (I sucked at it) and went to a bar afterwards. I was totally accepted by my family and the brides friends. That is what I had been expecting from this side of my family. My one cousin who got married last year told me that she wished I had went as myself instead of listening to my mother telling me to go in boy mode.

      It doesn't just seem that it is, it actually is. aging trans people are left out of nearly 90% of all the help said to be available to transgender people.   Here in Texas, there are not many, if any actually created for aging transgender people. Planned Parenthood pretty much has only been active for trans youth, primarily, as of late. I can't even find legal help for discrimination cases that would help by allowing me to show that it is trans care related. By the way, I don't qualify for medicare as I am turning 55 this year. I also can't get Medicaid either.    Trans youths are not the only ones needing help. Aging trans need just as much help, BUT, are pushed aside as though we as older transgender people, do not matter. I agree the youth are our future, but until the youth decides to listen to what is being taught to them instead of thinking they know everything, the youth of the nation will be our demise.
