I did my first beauty supply shopping at Sephora, and have never had a bad experience there.  I don't think there is any charge for these classes, nor do I think they will pressure people to buy their products. I do think that, if you are going to participate, buying a little something from them would be nice, though.

I believe they're only at about 150 stores nationwide though, so they definitely won't be everywhere.

It IS extremely cool, though, how much input the Sephora trans and non-binary cast members at Sephora have had in developing the program and I'm really looking forward to checking out the You Tube tutorials they're making as well. Yay!

The one near me in Pasadena has contacted the LGBT center where I volunteer about having a day for Trans women early in June, and I am the designated coordinator for the center.  I actually got a "member savings card" from them about 10 years ago and put it in my femme name although I was still presenting male most of the time.  It was a form of proof that I had started to live in my female persona which was considered a plus in those days.  They also donated the make-up and two artists used by Trans Chorus of Los Angeles for our first special stage presentation last year, where we were the only group doing the full show of David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and the Rise and Fall of the Spiders From Mars.

They have one class available about 30 miles from the farm.  Mmmmm i'm interested and may well give it a try.

Wow! This is awesome news! I may be stuck in boy mode for close to another year for personal and business reasons, but I will definitely be taking advantage of this as soon as I have the opportunity! The sisters that operate the Electrology clinic I go to keep telling me I can stick in boy mode for another 6 months max, and they have seen it all so they might be right, but they took a good look at me and said my hips and face are already very feminine and that my chest is already too big to go unnoticed, I guess I will just hope for the best and ignore gawkers. I suppose as soon as I am regularly being mis-gendered I will have to make the decision about the way I present myself to the world... I am hoping I can hold it together for a while, but my wife keeps saying if I try to hold boy mode too hard there might be a girlsplosion!

Hugs,

Jae

Unfortunately for me, no Sephora or jC Penny/Sephora within a couple hundred miles is offering this class.  Maybe they will expand to more locations if this goes over well.  I did watch the video about the class and thought it would be good to participate.

?  "girlsplosion" is a great term.  Your wife has a great sense of humor.

In all honesty my sweet Bunny is a fantastic, smart, funny and witty girl, I love her to death, and I hate seeing this hurt her but I know it’s unreasonable for me to ask her to just standby and fall to pieces while I disappear. It really is a shame that we have to part for a while, I really don’t know how things will work out but some part of me hopes that she will end up being not only my second wife but my third wife and I’ll Get to change her name one more time.

Hugs,

Jae

Girlsplosion, I guess that's what happened to me! When "he" retired I said that's it, we switch places NOW! and I'm not looking back.

Buy a little something? Heck, one time I had a mini makeover from them and I bought everything she used on me. 

So yeah, just a head's up that could happen to you as well. ?

And if you do go, don't be afraid to ask makeup and skincare questions! (like, "would this be good for night time as well or is this more of a casual day time look?"

that is exactly what I need. I went to some other cosmetic store to get some help and the lady just laughed at me and ignored me, I shrugged it off but my girlfriend was pissed and we haven't gone back since

It's hard to understand the mind set of a sales person who would knowingly insult and chase away a paying customer.  A prime example of cutting of your nose to spite your face.

      So, yesterday's epiphany was that girl jeans fit me much nicer than boy jeans. Well, duh! So this girl is switching over to wearing girl jeans pretty much full time. I'll keep my others for work jeans. We went out to dinner last evening and I was in androgynous mode...wearing a pair of Bandolino Amy straight leg denim pants. Score!

      Good morning, everyone!! The coffee upload has started for me but just in the early stages so I'm barely coherent at this point.   You've been missed @Willow - I hope all is going well with your wife and at work.   @awkward-yet-sweet We love to make beans with rice - one of our favorite meals.   No big plans for me today. Small projects around our place and probably some reading. We're going to have some rain off and on, and the temps are still too low for a lot of outdoor work.   Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      Hi   boy you back to work and miss lots.  No time to catch up right now. But I will.   just wanted to let everyone know I’m still here.   willow

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

A ballot initiative is going to go absolutely nowhere. They're wasting their time.   Carolyn Marie

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒

      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.
