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.

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.

      I wish I had an answer to this.

      By KayC · Posted

      @Mia Marie I agree that it seems most of the focus is on Trans Youth.  And maybe that is in part because of protecting Trans Youth from the political environment, and to give them a chance to transition at an earlier age.  Many of our generation have been cloistered for most of our lives by societal exceptions and I think that has made it more difficult to be Visible ... until Now. So I guess my answer is ... Be Visible and seek out, or even start, support groups in your local area.  Planned Parenthood does provide Gender Affirming Care and therapy in most U.S. regions (and they take Medicare!).

      CA Judge Rules That Title of Anti-Trans Ballot Measure Will Remain As-Is

      By KayC · Posted

      As a registered CA voter I would be HAPPY to vote against this bill ... BUT as @Carolyn Marie mentioned it has little chance to make the ballot.  Hopefully this will put the Death Knell on the bill.   wrt Parents Rights of notification.  I would agree if there was potential harm to a child, or if the child was involved in potentially harming somebody else.  BUT, that would not be the case in the preponderance of situations.  The decision to Come Out to one's own parents should be up to the individual child only.  If the child does not feel Secure or Safe in their household then it should not be up to the State or School to make that determination. If the child did feel safe and secure they would have probably already come out.  If they haven't ... then the situation seems obvious.  Protect the Child, not the System.

      What are some of the ways you are validated?

      By RaineOnYourParade · Posted

      Basically my only source of validation is from close friends who know I'm trans 😅   I'm not a very masculine-looking guy in general, and I've had to stop binding due to pain, so strangers and physical validation aren't things I can get. My family still uses she/her pronouns and female terms with me, so there's not much validation at home, either.   I'm grateful I have friends that are willing to use my pronouns and such, though. It makes me feel a lot better.

      My intro to crossdressing

      By Breezy Victor · Posted

      I was ten years old when my mom walked in on me frolicking around my room dressed up in her bra, panties, and some pantyhose. I had been doing this in the privacy of my bedroom for a little while now so I had my own little stash box I kept full of different panties, bras, etc ... of hers. My mom's underwear was so easy for me to come by and she was a very attractive woman, classy, elegant. Well when she walked in on me, she looked at me with disgust and said to me... "If I wanted to run around like mommy's little girl instead of mommy's little boy, then she was going to treat me like mommy's little girl."  She left my bedroom after telling me NOT to change or get dressed or anything and returned with a few of her work skirts and blouses and such. She made me model off her outfits for her and I have to admit ... I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I felt so sexy, and feminine. And she knew I loved it.  She told me we can do this every weekend if I'd like. It would be OUR little secret.

      What are some of the ways you are validated?

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      The usual social ways, of course.  Taking care of my partners and stepkids, being involved in my community.  That makes me feel good about my role.   As for physical validation and gender... probably the most euphoric experience is sex.  I grew up with my mother telling me that my flat and boyish body was strange, that my intersex anatomy was shameful, that no man would want me. So experiencing what I was told I could never have is physical proof that I'm actually worth something.

      <Moderator hat on>  I think that, at this point we need to get the thread back onto the topic, which is the judge's ruling on the ballot proposition.  If there is more to be said on the general principles of gendered spaces etc., please discuss them, carefully and respectfully, in separate threads. <Moderator hat off>

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      People who have no understanding of transgender conditions should not be making policy for people dealing with it. Since it is such a small percentage of the population, and each individual is unique, and their circumstances are also unique, each situation needs to be worked with individually to see that the best possible solution is implemented for those involved.
