So this happened around RLT time

I was up in the Buffalo area a few days ago near the Walden Galleria Mall. Now I had been to the Walden Galleria once before but it had been awhile. In fact the last time I was there was when I got my first set of acrylic nails. So I use the app FourSquare on my phone to check in places and gets points for checking in and it's a way of finding out where friends (who also use the app) are or where they've been and what they've been up to. The beauty of the app is that is also keeps track of when you were at a place last or how frequently you've been there.

So I fired the app up and checked myself in at the mall. Then up came the message "Welcome back! You haven't been to the Walden Galleria Mall since March '12"

Wow! I've been getting my nails done for a year and 3 months now?! That's incredible.

That's also right around the time I started living full-time as well. I believe I justified it as "Well, now that you're a girl you may as well get your nails done since you've been wanting to since forever."

And I still love having them. And I still feel it was the best decision because in my job, nail polish would always chip off and I could never keep pretty nails. But now, even with the job, my nails look pretty all the time and I love getting compliments on the colors I get them done with. Now mind you when I first got them done I was getting a french manicure because I loved how timeless and classic they looked but now I get polish put on. :)

Wow did not realize you went that far north in your travels. Next time your coming through the Pittsburgh Pa area let me know. Would love to meet you face to face as well as so many others here on Laura's..Anywho grats on the nails.. Its impossible for me to keep mine painted and or fake ones as would be ripping them off with all the labor type work I have been doing lately.

Oh, go all the way up to Canada.

The only downside to Pittsburgh is that along I-79 (which I'll be on today as I head south) there are very few truck stops and I feel guilty asking people to drive aways just to meet little ol' me. I did once but it was a date and it didn't work out anyway.

I hear ya am oh so well familiar with I-79 very few even rest stops let alone truck stops. I-90 in Pa and Ny is so much better for the truck stops. But driving a few miles is no biggie to me at all. But its up to you if you desire to do so. I do know the entire Western Pa area super well so finding you would be a snap...And darn it you would get a new Lizzy McTrucker Story to post...lol..Anywho be safe in your travels..

      There's many words to describe the same idea -- excellent, good, amazing, incredible, great, and other synonyms, for example. It's a shame that some people can't realize that the reason that so many words exist is that it's the human experience; There's a million ways to feel the same exact thing, or to express it. That includes gender. Not everyone wants to express their gender the same way, trans or no. If we try to say in order to be trans, you have to do a, b, and c, you deny all those "flavors" and "hues" that make up the human experience.   That's just my five cents, though

      I also play guitar, not very well though and dabble in writing poems and songs. It is a very peaceful way to relax.        💗 Cynthia

      I think the first thing may be to realize we have shared interests and shared opposition.  I read an article not long ago by someone who decided to non-op and non-hrt and her transgender friends basically decided she was a traitor and not really trans and had no right to speak on trans issues.  She said many trans people say you aren't really trans unless you do the whole surgical route and legal, etc.  Some insist on the gender binary, others insist on a spectrum.  There must be an agreement to disagree.  Not all of us here have the same viewpoint or the same experience or the same condition.  But we can identify common interests, like walking into a public restroom without fear of arrest, or the right to medical care.    The divisions are severe, heart-felt, and real, but from a practical point of view we need to lay some of those aside when we can for the common interest.  Some of those we cannot lay aside because of personal integrity, but we can work across the aisle, so to speak, something sadly lacking in the public arena today.

      Thanks Vicky!  I made a mistake with my topic heading, I consider myself as a Lady but I know that not everyone here thinks that way so I apologize for that.   I should say Hi everyone!! 💗 Cynthia

      Welcome to the Forums Cynthia.   We do have gentlemen here as well who are some of the nicest guys you can get to know.

      @Mirrabooka@Abigail Genevieve Let's not neglect the severe divisions within the Trans and NB sector as well along those lines.  Where we have Non Op & Non HRT and Cross Dressers, Gender Benders, Gender Fluid, Agender et al VS. the full surgical route takers with GCS, FFS, BA and vocal surgery,   Which of those segments gets to speak for the others?  How do we turn them into a cohesive force for good just among those nominally under the Trans shade tree??

      Hi, I am Cynthia, 62 year old lifelong crossdresser.  I have been dressing off and on for as long as I can remember. In the last ten years or so I have noticed that my dressing has become a major part of my life, I went through all of the purging and confusion and I came out feeling more like a woman every day.  Self acceptance is very powerful if you truly accept who you are.    Over the last few years I have built a nice wardrobe and now spend about 80% of the time as my true self. I only wear male clothing when visiting with family and running errands. I don’t know if I am trans or not, all I know is that I absolutely love myself as a woman and that’s how I feel about myself, that I am Cynthia.   I love wearing makeup, dresses and jewelry, it feels so good and natural to me.     I am thankful to have found this special place and look forward to being a part of this beautiful community!!  I hope to learn about myself and also to participate and interact daily and to help others in their journey as well.    If I could I would absolutely live full time as a woman and hopefully with help and encourage I will one day fulfill this dream. I love being a woman and thinking of myself this way. I’ve never thought much about my pronouns but I definitely like she/her for myself!!   Thanks for reading and I look forward to being here and sharing with you all!!     💗 Cynthia

      Good morning Felix,   I don't know how aware you are of the motives behind Military Boot Camp, but the most important thing it's designed to do is break you down, physically and mentally, weeding out those who can't make it. If you really want to be a Marine after you graduate high school? Stop believing you do things better when you're high. Clean your lungs by filling them with the fresh air of cross country running. Start small, run around the block, then around the track, then from your house to the track. Run everywhere! Run, run, run, and then when you can't go any further. Run some more. Do this feeling like you're going into Boot Camp in top physical condition, and your training will still break you down. That's what it's designed to do, and you'll earn the right to be called a Marine. The best thing about your wishes to become a Marine, is that it's something you can surely do with a proper mindset. Yes, it's very physical, but most of all it's mental. My brother-in-law is a retired Marine, and I love his stories ranging from his time in boot camp, to his time as a drill instructor. These conversations are not started by him. They're usually started by my nephew who is also a Marine. I can't say enough how proud I am of my family and friends who have or are currently serving in the Armed Forces. I will be equity proud of you too.   Best wishes, stay positive and motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was always playing the boy in house, and I HATED wearing dresses. I used to dress up super masc and go out to dinner to just make sure I could still pass as a boy. I thought of it as a game but.. uh.. nope.
