I was just wondering, but...do you think I could end up looking like this girl (Angela Gossow of Arch Enemy)? I really like her style, and she has a kind of "manly" face:

Here's my current pic attached.

I really don't care too much, though. My friends say I'm going to make a very pretty chick, and my GG friends are all jealous of my skin!

I don't think you have the same facial shape, so it's unlikely that you'll look that much like her.

How is mine different? My face was in a weird expression in my pic, though, so it may not have been accurate.

Maybe if you pose like her with your head cocked and semi profile it will look more like her? the camera, glasses and, I believe. facial hair make it kinda hard to tell... Oh, and maybe a little eyebrow trim?

Protoman2050,

I am not an etiquette cop. You have no need to apologize to me. I merely thought it might help to reference the original post so no confusion arose. Just think of it as something like footnoting a research paper.

I hope you think a little about what my reply was. I truly believe women have long been victimized by media's love affair with thin, goddesses at the absolute expense of normal women.

Protoman2050,

I. I truly believe women have long been victimized by media's love affair with thin, goddesses at the absolute expense of normal women.

Oddly enough research has shown it is other women and predominantly gay men in the fashion industry who create and perpetuate that look. Men actually prefer, and IRL chose, more voluptuous curvy women. It's media hype being bought by women. Also been shown that most women dress for other women and not for men. Those that do dress for men actually kind of stand out and tend to be more curvy like Nicole Smith, Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra.

There was a study discussed on the news just this morning that the views toward women's appearance have changed recently to be more inclusive and accepting. I hope it is a trend that continues.

From all the conversations I have heard men like women who look like women and not like skinny boys. Even the insertion of a bit of silicone just can't make a bag of bones attractive

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.

      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?

      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?

      Congrats to your family on the new addition!

      Funny you think that I would be able to get through more than two sentences with how bad my stutter gets (joking, of course)   My topic would probably be mythology, random Japan factoids in my mind, or a favorite story   (Best option would be a fave story of mine including a lot of factoids on Japanese myths-)

      Congratulations @ivy. Nothing beats a family growing two feet at a time!

      I read each of your entries and learn so much. Thank you, especially, for the TransCentralPA info. I have been looking fora group and activities where I could express myself safely and with support. I missed this year's conference but next year might be possible and I am going to look at their other events, too.

      Leadership and Management, the differences and similarities between the two as well as the applications of military leadership principles across the spectrum of professions.

      I have read numerous accounts of trans folk no longer being welcome among evangelicals.   I am here for help and fellowship not to rebuke anyone.  I can take a pretty high degree of insult, etc., and you haven't insulted me, to my recollection anyway :) and I usually let it go.  But I thought I would let it all out there.   I am sure I disagree with you on numerous issues.  I appreciate other people's viewpoints, including those who radically disagree with me.  Intellectual challenge is good. One thing I appreciate about @MaeBe.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Congrats!
