Hobbies


Recommended Posts

Well i was curious about how you guys feel for my issue here. i have a very masculine hobby and i also feel i would have to give up on that hobby if i decided to come out. my hobby is mini bikes and go karts and im afraid if i did wear womans clothing while riding them i might lose some freinds and be looked at weird. also its a very dirty hobby because something always is broken or greasy. But if i were to come out it would 100% be on a go kart but i would have to get all dressed up first and get a wig and figure out makeup.

Careful if you wear a dress, they can get got in the chain/belt or spokes. Major wardrobe malfunction, you'll REALLY be out then, lol! xp

 

Motorsports are often labelled masculine, but you see alot of gals into it these days too. I think it's awesome! 

 

On a side note, I always loved woman's bike frames, that lowered crossbar makes it so much easier to get on the old Schwinn's. It'd be pretty rad to put a little twin cycle engine on one (transition goals)...

I've found with time that i can do everything i did as a woman that i enjoyed doing as a man.  Times have definitely changed.  It would have been different when women were more homebound but today it's not an issue.

I've got a cute '64 Vespa 150 that fills that role so well.  It's just getting licensed and while  i know i should wear protective clothing i'm looking forward to going to the market in a skirt.

Most Tomboy’s  that I’ve seen riding  mini bikes and go carts, do not dress too feminine, they wear clothes able to take the dirt, mud and oil. I’m not saying how you should dress, just giving you my own observations. Check out other women that have similar hobbies, and maybe that could help?

Best of luck with your transitioning!

I am an avid rider. That was always thought of as masculine. But there’s plenty of girls that ride now. There’s plenty of girls into motor sports and racing too. Don’t let society pigeonhole you. Do your thing and done apologize for it.

There are no boundaries as long as you are safe.  Lots of women enjoy "masculine" activities and many men like "feminine" activities.  Don't fret over it.  

 

BTW I am still active with my car hobby.

I am a car nut,pure and simple. Will I stop it once I transition. Not on your life. I also ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles. If that isn't masculine  I don't know what is. I will still wheel my Street Glide. Building model cars, yep still gonna do that.

I haven't seen a hobby or sport a female hasn't done. I wouldn't worry to much. Who says you have to dress any different from what you do already. Whose to know what you wear underneath  either. ?

Well for just normal riding i wouldnt wear a long dress and i would still wear a wig or long hair but ponytailed most likely it would be in some leggings but i would have a dedicated pair. You guys really make me feel like i could come out but i dont think im quite ready.

I love to play World of Warcraft, Dungeons & Dragons. I love to throw the football, play some basketball, build sandcastles, ski, make things out of paracord, ride bikes, and other things. If anybody told me it was too masculine or too feminine , I would put them in check. If my friends had a problem with me, I would tell them they do t have to join.

Although it would be hurtful, I don’t want people that are mean or @$$*’s in my life. Don’t need it, don’t want it.

There are lots of women around here who ride bikes. It's very uncommon for them to wear skirts though. Generally the clues are almost down to slight differences in build or even riding style as the clothes they wear are pretty much identical, even men occasionally wearing feminine coloured helmets (eg pink!).

While in the closet i spent some years as a licensed buckle racer.  I loved the fact that i could wear skin tight leggings over shaved legs and colorful team shirts.  Unfortunately my heart couldn't take it. Fortunately the growth of blood supply to my heart due to the intensity of the sport probably kept me alive through several heart attacks.

I have a cute skort cycling outfit in my drawer that i hope to be able to wear someday if my Dr. says yes.  I'll just have to lie back and watch the kids go past.

I feel like coming out so bad but cant bring my heart to it. Most likely when my mom becomes a truck driver if ever i will come out to my dad as transgender im a very strong confident person usually but when my girly side comes out im a bit shy and shake alot. I have already ridden a toy on my mini bike but thats the most ill ever do outside besides mabey wear legging under pants but im too scared of doing that. It feels so natural to cross dress and i really feel like exploring beyond in my room but dont have the guts to do it.

It is often best to stay in ones comfort zone.  Times may change and in the future you may or may not feel like you need other ways to feel right about yourself.  I know i waited much of my life to even start a gender exploration.  

I was afraid of going out even in a pair of well hidden panties.  It just wasn't my time.

 

Hugs,

I haven't ridden a two-wheeler of any sort since sometime around completing high school.  However, it terms of hobbies, my spouse and I hunt and fish as much season and time permit.  I also enjoy target shooting.  Functionality,  not fashion, is the norm for those hobbies, although area- or season-specific camouflage apparel can lead to a more successful hunt.

      Worry refers to the thoughts, images, emotions, and actions of a negative nature in a repetitive, uncontrollable manner that results from a proactive cognitive risk analysis made to avoid or solve anticipated potential threats and their potential consequences.

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      Thanks.  I will look those up in the document, hopefully tomorrow.   I always look at the source on stuff like this, not what someone, particularly those adversarial, have to say.

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
