A little while back my wife and i went shopping. We stopped at a clothing store and she helped me pick out some very cute panties and a bra.  We also got a couple cute packs of earrings for when i finally get my ears pierced.  

 

Well that day was today. I asked my wife if we could get my ears pierced today and she said that was fine. We went to the store and the nice lady asked if she can help me.  I said ya im getting my ears pierced today.  She asked one or both ears. I said both.  And within ten min i was paying and walking out the door.

You have a very special wife. That’s good news for sure. A big congratulations on getting your ears pierced too. That took me awhile to get the nerve up to finally do it for myself. You made it look like a walk in the park. What kind of studs did you get?

I want to get my ears pierced so bad but I’m concerned about the backlash I would get at work. I’m gonna have to wait until my hair covers it better. That is great having a supportive wife like that it makes it so much easier and it’s another way for you guys to bond. At least it has been with me and my wife.

Try having no hair,absolutely nowhere for the ears to hide Emily michelle!  Totally agree, would love to have both ears done, but it would be too noticable for me to do just now.  Well done Jordan! ?

It was my 63rd birthday and my wife asked what i wanted.  We were soon at the mall and i was getting my ears pierced dressed as myself with her at my side.  That was the first time we had gone out together with me as myself.  Within weeks i was full time.  Getting my ears pierced was somehow quite an important step in my journey.

 

Hugs,

I got my ears pierces (with encouragement from my wife) while I was still going out in male mode. 

 

Before I did so, knowing that I would have to keep the piercing studs in 24x7 for six weeks, I kept my eyes open for men with pierced ears.  My big worry was the guys at the firehall.  The worries ended when I noticed at the weekly practice that the gruff, macho deputy chief had gold earrings.  Two relevant observations were that I hadn't noticed them before, and that no one gave him any hassle about them.

 

So I went ahead and got them done.  No one even noticed.  Six weeks later, when I replaced the piercing studs with nice silver ball studs, no one noticed that either.  A year later, when I came out publicly, no one even connected it to the earrings.

 

I would encourage anyone considering getting their ears pierced to just do it.

I got my ears pierced without my wife’s blessing.  It was just after Christmas 2016.  Our granddaughters were with us.  I went to the store said I wanted my ears pierced picked out some starters and that was that.  This was actually before I knew I was transgender although I was beginning to think about that possibility.  I did get some comments but most people are polite enough not to say anything.

Me, too.  Here in the states at least, I see plenty of [straight] guys with buzz cuts and two earrings.

That's awesome Jordan! Once it is safe for me to be able to go out into public without putting my wife at risk (health), I will first be getting my hair done, then brows done, followed by piercing my ears. I have a couple pairs of clip ons, but wearing them for any real length of time really hurts the lobes.

What’s the recovery time like? I’m an online gamer and have been wanting mine pierced. I’m just curious how long I’ll have to game sans headset if I get mine pierced.

It can very but generally 6 to 8 weeks with proper care.  You can’t take them out during the healing process but you do have to lean and spin them. Most starters are either gold balls or may have a cubic zirconium.  They are generally small so depending on your headset you might not have to stop. Pads that sit on your ear but not on your earlobe shouldn’t be an issue or a sound reduction headphone that completely surrounds your ear should be fine. Earbuds even better.

Mine are over the ear. But for the moment, my awkward sitting position means the left side rests right on certain parts of the ear and mashes into my earlobe.
 

I want them pierced ASAP...but part of me figures if vocal surgery will render me mute for a month or more...I could kill two birds with one stone and getting my ears pierced around the same time. Being mute means wearing a headset is optional as I couldn’t communicate anyway.

I got mine pierced in stages. First one ear, two years later the other ear and 20 years after that I got a second set of piercings in my ears when I made the decision to finally come out and start living as full time. Love my piercings.

If im not mistaken. Men get there left ear pierced and thats supposed to be ok.  Both ears not manly.  Lol

 

On a side note.  Its crazy that so far only one person has made a comment and it was not negative

I think the one-ear thing was obliterated by Dennis Rodman.

When I was 13 I got my left ear pierced. At the time the phrase 'left is right, right is wrong' was in play, meaning if you were male and had your right ear pierced, that meant you were gay *gasp*. Ah, the stupidity of the mid 80s. Anyway, at 15 I pierced my other ear with a safety pin and a potato. A year or two later I pierced both ears a second time, so that I could wear two earrings in each ear. I don't wear 4 these days, just one per ear, but the other two piercing holes are still open should I ever be bothered to use them.

 I got the first one with my ex's blessing. When decided just one ear looked unbalanced and I wanted to have a more feminine look, my ex blew a gasket, She said that with an earring in both ears I would be competing with her  femininity, but while on a business trip I got the other ear pierced and reluctantly accepted it. The second set of holes I had wanted almost as soon as I got the second ear pierced. I waited until several milestones had been reached, one of those was when I finally and completely declared myself to be unapologetically trans.

I got mine pierced as soon as the shops were allowed to open again. Now I need more holes in my ears and more tattoos.

I’m the opposite on tattoos. I have only one, gotten long before I realized who I was. It’s nothing bad, but its prominent placement in my left arm isn’t ideal. I’m having an artist friend make a picture copy of it so I can have it removed and still keep the art.

Vicky, you just made me laugh out loud enough that my wife came in to see if I was ok.

That was a real spit take for me.

Hi, 

 

I don’t mind a carefully place hole but no tattoos.  To each his (or her) own.

 

i have pierced my nipples, but took them out.  Same with my belly button.  Those are fully healed and closed.  I don’t care for facial piercings.  I’d get a second earlobe piercing but I don’t think I’d get away with that.

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
