My niece and I were just discussing this. She told me that you have to wear the initial post for something like 3 weeks. I want to get mine pierced soon, but I have the same concerns.

She just got three new piercings one each side and I am so jealous!

I was wonder is there was a clear post by my niece said you want titanium one initially until you hole is formed and is healed. They you can try other ear rings.

Not sure that helps,

If your ears heal in 3 weeks you are very lucky. It took mine much longer to heal.

Small posts are noticeable and i remember trying to think of what i would tell people. I'm glad i listened to my wife who had perhaps the best idea. Instead of hiding wear a nice big post with some glitz. Funny i only got wows and compliments, went full time shortly afterwards and never looked back.

Hugs,

Hi BobbieSue, I have had mine pierced since June, didn't try to hide it. Got a couple white gold studs. I have yet to take them out. When asked I just told everyone I had always wanted too and needed a change. Along with my much longer hair, which I wear in a ponytail now all my co-workers think I've gone hippie or hipster. Not a big fuss about it at all.

Hugs

My piercing studs for both sets of holes were simple gold spheres about 3/16 in diameter. No one associated my piercings with GD and this was 10 years ago, and really no one cared beyond their first notice. Mine had to be in for 6 weeks at first, and then for at least part of the day for a couple of years. I can now go for extended periods without them, but did buy some pink and blue heart shaped earrings the other day, although for me who cares.

Exactly.....Why hide it.

You see so many people from the full spectrum of gender identity that wear silver, stainless, and even diamond studs (like me, except mine are cubic zirconia sp?). Even where I live which is a non-trans friendly area, I haven't been given a second glance. It's just too common these days to worry about.

But I will say this, I had lots of trouble when it came to healing time. Four months to be exact. I tried taking the stainless studs out after 4 weeks and couldn't get them back in after one night. So try as I might I ended up having to force them (not recommended) into the hole. Left ear got a little infected, so triple anti-biotic morning and night. Probably took four months because I forced them back in......

Now I wear studs to bed every night (stainless), and then my zirconia studs most every day. I also have fake ruby's, emerald, and black faceted stones. I never to anywhere now without! Oh and I have a pair of sterling silver skull, and crossbones too. I got those on one of the online outfits, and when someone does look (mostly guys) they say "wow, were did you get those cool studs?" LOL

Seriously no worries.

Funny......the only one that gave me even a little grief was my 9 year old grandson. When he first saw the new studs his eyes got big, and he said "Oh NO Papaw not you too!" Unbeknownst to me his Dad had just put plugs in his ear lobes (ouch!).

So really, I seriously doubt it will get much attention at all.

I found that gold studs work best for me, the stainless irritate my ears, I can only wear them for a day than have to go back to the gold.

I got my ears pierced back in the late '90s when I lived in Maryland. I was kinda hippie looking with long hair so no one noticed or cared. It is even more common, and therefore a non-issue today here in California. My current favorite earrings are Peace Sign dangles made of Niobium (anodized so that they have rainbow colors). :)

hugs,

Stephanie

      It's kinda weird how these people are so worked up over making these laws.  They would have no effect on cis people either way.  Yet they are the ones with the obsession.  They ought to just stay out of trans people's business.

      Bean burritos are still popular in my family.   Black eyed peas are the one legume I'm not fond of.  I need to add lots of onions. And of course always cook your pintoes with fat-meat.  And for y'all yankees, navy beans with a big ol' ham bone are hard to beat.

      Seek out community, not just online but in person if possible. Making trans friends is a pretty quick and easy way to gauge if you have much in common with them.

      Glad to be home and did go out for a walk this morning.Good thing is that went good.Still taking it easy

      It certainly could be classed as dark humor.  Unfortunately the sentiments alone must hurt young trans folks.  Decency and reality doesn't seem to be in the GOP's vocabulary.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Good morning all,    It’s a frosty morning here the lawn looks silvery, and the uncovered spring flowers have icy edges on their leaves. The only flower bed I covered was my tulips. As nice as it is here during the day, our clear wind free nights allow the temperatures to drop into the mid twenties. Here in our growing zone it’s recommended that you not plant delicate plants until Mother’s Day. Central Indiana can have snow as late as the third week of May. The birds are active at the feeders, I’ve had my cup of yoghurt and morning meds. So I’ll sit here, drink coffee and watch the as the sunrise chases the frost from the yard.    @awkward-yet-sweet I could eat black eyed peas as a side for every meal. Boil them plain or with fatback. Served as a leftover, just add in a little Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies.  Make the best of your day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?

      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.
