With Halloween being not to far away. Has anyone have plans? Party, costume at work. or maybe dressing as your true self? For those that at still in the closet. I have the 30-31 off, on the 31 I have my lazer treatment. I am going as more of the real me. Gray sweater dress, gray leggings, slight heels. it will be fun and exciting.

I am going to a fetish Halloween party and have a costume that works for all three nights. Fairy princess for “whimsy”, Sorcerous for “Arcana”, and maiden for “decadence”. It will be fun because I get to be in costume, be my true self and just be in a safe space to be me.

I'm not honest;y sure. My sister-in-law has a party every year, but it's well-attended and as a raging introvert my preferred group size is about six or so unless I know them really, really well. Especially this year. My brother-in-law, who was a HUGE fan of Halloween, just passed and if the number of people at his viewing was anything to go by, the town's population is going to double that night.

 

So I'm torn. I want to go out and be pretty, but the thought of being around that many strangers makes me ill.

 

Hugs!

Would it be really to out there if i say ill be thinking of my passed close relatiives. trying to feel closer to them

 

Its actually celtic On the night of October 31 the celts celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.

 

Be nice to feel them just a little closer to me. Even if its just in my mind.

 

 

I dont think ill be dressing up for it.

Not at all. It sounds like a lovely tradition. There are worse ways to spend the night than thinking fondly of people that were special to you that have gone on ahead. I could completely get into that.

A number of spiritual beliefs all come together in my neighborhood, we have neighbors who celebrate Samhain as Maid in Bedlam describes, although they participate in the U.S. version of Halloween, for me as an Episcopalian and the Catholic church just around the corner from me, it is All Saints Eve (All Hallows Eve) and most of the people attending the Catholic church are also observing a "Dia de los Muertos" (Day of the Dead), and in that Catholic Parish it is fine for children (and adults) to come to the All Saints Mass in costume.

 

My neighborhood is really pretty safe and the parents let them do Trick or Treating on my block, which my neighbors and I are happy to deal with and generous with candy hand outs and some decoration. 

 

My LGBT center which is a couple of miles away has a Trunker Treat event where participants decorate their car's trunks (boots) and have candy treats for the children, and then shows a Halloween themed movie out doors, with soft drinks and cup cakes and popcorn.  Not too sure which I will do the most of this year.

WThe trick or treating part of Halloween will be enjoyed with two 5 year olds and their mommie. There is a neighborhood across the way that is a goo area for kids to enjoy the celebration. 

 

I dont know what’s going on in my apartment building. I’m hoping the neighbors have something cool planned. There are a lot of parties going on in Hillcrest of course. There is always Balboa Park and downtown, and the haunted houses. 

 

Since i I haven’t presented in public yet, I’m excited, cause I might finally have enough courage to muster to venture out in the neighborhood.

@Debra Michelle It never happened if you don't show us pictures. I had a HUGE crush on Elvira back in high school.

It's my anniversary on Halloween. The party at my sister-in-law's place isn't until November 9th because a lot of the guests work haunted houses through November 2nd. I'm going to try and post Friday when my Jean's come in.

OK, it's a day late but...

The band shirt is from my deceased brother-in-law's group. He was a HUGE fan of Halloween. You can't see my bat barrette or my tail from this angle. I haven't mastered the thing where somehow my butt and my boobs are prominently displayed in the shot. I might need more yoga.

@Rachael Very nice outfit.  You look really nice in dark attire and I like the dark hair too.

 

@Jackie C. You look just fine...butt, boobs and the whole look.  We are our biggest critics.

 

 

If things work out and the outfits fit, my wife our girlfriend and I may be attending a party as 1920's flapper girls.  It's been awhile since I got all dressed up for a Halloween party so I'm a little bit apprehensive.  It's social events like these I wish I drank.

 

Here's sort of what I'm going for...

@Susan R Ooh! Risque! I don't think I could get away with a skirt that short. Also, the butt and boobs on my costume are padding and falsies respectively, my body isn't all that without a little help. It's Halloween though and my brother-in-law would approve. The party is mostly for him. I'm a tremendous introvert so I'm hoping I can get through the evening without anyone having to peel me off the ceiling. ?

Jackie C.  They are size 16 women’s. I think they came from exotic high heels. And are made by pleaser. EHH has lots of nice shoes and can be returned if necessary. 

Best wishes & have fun

      This is such an exilerating time for you. All the emotions and a lifetime of wondering. HRT is a big step and you will soon find out its effects for you. I hope all goes well and you love the new you.

      Was just thinking (worrying?) about this since I have had an issue arise and need to see a new-to-me specialist, so sifting through the (in-network) doctors and trying to find one who gives the impression that they'd treat my condition and not try to wean me off HRT first.

      Yesterday I went back to the store I shopped last week (where they remembered the "Miranda" to write on the changing room board) since I knew if I waited long enough I'd get a decent discount sent to me to pick up a second item I had hesitated to buy last time.    Was wearing a pair of jeans I picked up at Macys discount rack ala @Sally Stone  for the crazy price of two dollars!

      My wardrobe is almost entirely from Torrid, but I know how to shop there.    Using the store credit card I got 5% off, plus 10% off ordering something and picking it up in the store. I also take their survey every time for an additional 10% off (25% off total).    I then shop their clearance items that are usually 30-70% off already.   I get 'name brand' items for Walmart prices.

      https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/mar/18/science-knowledge-gap-trans-healthcare     I like the reference to "trans broken arm syndrome."  I've experienced it myself.  The more research, the better, certainly.  The problem as I see it, especially concerning reports in the popular press, is that preliminary results are often used to "prove" someones POV, or are misunderstood or used in a political way.  That is never helpful, and it isn't confined to reporting on trans health care issues.  For example, how many times have we read or heard about studies that "prove" coffee is bad, or chocolate is bad, or eggs are bad, etc., only to read weeks or months later that the opposite is true?  In the case of trans health care, it all gets politicized, too.   Carolyn Marie

      I just finished the intake forms for an online informed consent clinic through Plume and im both nervous and excited to meet with my provider next week via video chat. I'm worried I will be turned down and cannot get a prescription for a variety of reasons. I was asked so many invasive questions during intake, which I knew would happen. I worried about what I should leave out, how honest I should be, what could be something that would deny me a prescription. I've been fighting with myself for a long time and now that I have opened myself up to hoping for change, I am so scared of having the carrot dangled in my face only to be ripped away.    And a part of me is scared of starting testosterone. I'm even more scared of inaction. Of not at least trying it and seeing how I feel about the changes. If I don't try it, I will never know, and I will be stuck in the loop of questioning whether or not it is right for me until I am filled with regrets for chances not taken rather than opportunities I've pursued.     Has anyone here ever felt fear and apprehension about staring HRT? How did you get over that fear? How do I know in my heart if this is right for me when I am always running through all of the endless possibilities of good and bad results?

      In keeping with @VickySGV's train of thought, here are links to a couple of Canadian legal resources.  I hope these can help you, as you do seem to need it.   https://justicetrans.org/en/resources/   https://www.courthouselibrary.ca/how-we-can-help/our-library-services/lawmatters-public-libraries/lgbt-legal-resource-round   https://www.halco.org/our-services/trans-legal-needs-assessment-ontario   BTW, welcome to Transgender Pulse, hon.  You are safe here.   Carolyn Marie
