My first day here. I'm at least wearing hose and heels - kind of a guy in a skirt day for me today. Work to do in my barn, you see. :huh:

Anyway, I've been crossdressing for as long as I can remember. I'm 41, so my memory isn't what it used to be. :rolleyes: Crossdressing started for me with pantyhose. As soon as I put them on I was hooked. And still am. Then the feeling of high heels. Wow. And I progressed from there. I don't fully dress as often anymore, you might consider me a waist down crossdresser now. I love skirts, pantyhose, and heels. I have a ton of shoes! Ok, I love shopping for shoes.

Well I hope to have fun at this site, and make some new friends.

OK, so I am impressed. You work in a barn in heels!? I've been in heels for ~35 years and even I wouldn't do that! Doesn't the rough floor tear up the leather on the heel? If it was me, I'd put a foot wrong and the heel would sink into a hole or something in the wood floor and I'd go bum over teakettle into something unpleasant. Or I would sheer off a heel catching it on some plank edge. And still tumble into something unpleasant.

Welcome aboard!

Hi, Jennifer, and welcome to Laura's! You've found a wonderful site to make friends and learn and have fun. The

members here are supportive, helpful, trustworthy and warm. You'll feel at home in no time at all.

The official welcoming committee will be along any minute with their famous cookies and cocoa, so I hope you're

in the mood for a snack.

I'm a CDer too, from my teen years (I'm officially middle aged this year, boo!). I've been active and inactive several times,

and my Carolyn-self reawakened with a vengeance recently, which is when I went internet exploring and had the great

good fortune of finding Laura's.

After you have made five posts, you can send private messages (PM's) to other members. You are welcome to send

to me if you wish.

Please explore the forums and chat rooms and make yourself at home. We love to hear more from you.

Yes sir(or ma'am)! B)

Oh, and I guess I'll introduce myself a little. I turned 21 this year, still in college. Even though I have the New York flag under my name I don't really live there. I would like too in my future - bigger and better job opportunities. I'm one of the only Canadian mods, eh.

Anyway...enjoy all the warm welcomes.

:P I bet you won't ask for directions either and drive around lost all day.

Nope not me I'll just be the one balling her eyes out on the side of the high way totally lost because I have no sense of direction. I remember when I first moved up to the DC metro area and was coming home from my first day of work. I manged to take the wrong exit getting onto 123 and rather then getting home ended up passing by the washington monument on the wrong side of the river. >.< Everywhere there where highways and with no easy way to pull off and be able to find my way back on the road I was a complete train wreck until a cop pulled up behind me on the shoulder of the road while I was pulled over crying over a map and took mercy and pointed me in the right direction.

Geesh where are my manners. :D Hi Jennifer. I have some double chocolate cookies for you.

Welcome, Jennifer!

I don't get around here much in the summer with work, grad school, and my hobbies (Civil War reenacting and horses). Just wanted to welcome you. I'm over the lake from you and have gotten up to Grand Rapids a few times (have family farther north in MI). Beautiful area too.

My barn has a smooth cement floor. 30x56 'man cave' where all my tools and toys live.

Wow! Thanks everyone for such a warm and wonderful welcome. The cookies are really yummy, but I only got to eat two before the plate was empty! That's ok, I like to share! (And truth be told, I don't ever want to have to wear control top, gotta watch my girly figure you know.)

This looks like it's going to be a great place to hang out. Everyone seems so nice. Thanks so much again!

I used to live in Barrington Hills, IL. Not too far from Wisconsin. My Grandpa had a farm in near Antioch, used to own the golf course too. Small world.

I'll grab the service manual as a last resort... or when I need torque specs... I just have never found any make up tips in those manuals. And I looked all through the 'Body Work' section!!!

Hi Jennifer

So nice to meet you. I'm sure you'll like it here, the people are friendly and the cookies and coco are great. Though I don't understand where Sally and Donna Jean get the time for all that baking? :lol:

Have A Great Day On The Farm,

LMAO Makeup for a car? I'm pretty sure it says somewhere that painting flames on the side of your car makes it faster at least that's what my neighbor proclaims. :lol: OH OH you could do like Homer Simpson and put speed holes in the hood of your car too.

      Discovered this recently as well... you have to be more of a hunter because it isn't always obvious what the sizes are... at least the store near me organizes fairly well by color and such ... found a nice pair of khakis and a nice white skort, though also found a few shirts that when I got home, yikes, way too tight... 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Wow.  To borrow things and break them... that's what we call a "USDA A-Grade Crap Filet."  Most mechanics hate it when others borrow their tools...or even touch them.  And that's with permission.  Without permission?  My GF would probably put somebody in the hospital for that.    And definitely, if they gotta borrow something multiple times...better be buying their own when that paycheck shows up.  At least get the Harbor Freight version.  Most of their stuff ain't that bad. 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      You might not think of it, but Goodwill has a TON of stuff.  I guess a lot of women buy clothes, hardly wear them, and then give them away when they get bored.  I've seen name brand stuff there for $3 or so.  You can always take a look...looking is free.  One of my friends is good with a sewing machine, and she gets stuff that's a bit bigger, then adjusts the fit.  Easier to subtract fabric than add 😄   I shop across the aisle, but for boy things.  And believe it or not, its actually more difficult if you're looking for something super cheap.  Thrift stores...most of the stuff for boys is worn out.  And being small, its super tough to find things in my size.  Even shorts, jeans, and t-shirts... good luck finding them in size "tiny fox."  Everything is made for Big and Tall.  6ft plus, built like a brick outhouse....Manly!  My husband complains since he's not 6ft tall, and if he has a tough time finding clothes that fit, its practically impossible for me.

      When I worked as a mechanic in a truck shop. The standard saying was: If you have to borrow a tool more than three times, you need to buy one of your own.    Blue collar hands,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Finally found out boss did fire a co worker I hated.A mechanic and I was one of 3 mechanics fixing his screw ups.Plus he would go into other other mechanic's toolboxes taking off with tools without asking.One was mine,one was a diesel compression tester kit of mine and broke the gauge part which I will have my Snap On dealer order me a new gauge tommorrow when he comes in

      Find and get in touch with the closest LGBTQ center near you and (1) they will know of programs that employ Trans people willingly and (2) will have ways to get you competent legal help to break you free of your family and their controlling and damaging behavior toward you.  I do not know Canadian Law on this, but here where I am you could get a court order to stop them from interfering in your life.  Gender Dysphoria is not a mental health issue that should keep you from managing your personal affairs.  The people at those centers know what we go through and are ready to help you.

      You look great in all of them!

      I'll try!     I still have no desire at all to start wearing skirts and dresses, and I don't have the curves to justify wearing women's jeans or slacks. I think the furthest I will go is maybe some pretty and androgynous tops one day. That's what appealed to me with the hoodie - it just looked so much nicer than any of those on offer from the men's department.

      Hello.   My name is not Shelli but for my safety i have to use this name here.   Im looking for advice.   In canada conversion therapy is illegal. My family has employed a psiciatrist to comversion therapy me covertly. I am 45 and the administrator of a wealthy families estate.   I have been fleeing this for about 7 years. It began by me having mtf grs. I was supposed to have ffs and top and vocal aswell. They allowed the bottom surgery. Then began getting social workers, the psyc and an accountant to slander me from town to town as i tried to get work and stablity in my life. I eventually went back to male atire to try and hide and restart transition. Each time they wojld find out where i was and it would start again.   I spoke out about it and now they claim i destroyed there lives by seeking help and that im an adult child since i cant get a job while they do this so that i cant as i would take control of the families fortune. They have had this psyciatrist diagnose me falsly with scizophrenia, upsetting me then bipolat, borderline, psicotic, and so much more. They have even tried getting me framed for crimes i never commited.   Im terrified, living in the woods, off hormones and even when i turn to the lgbt community in my area they have convinced many of them that im a trans man etc etc etc.   It never ends.   I would like to hear any advice.

      This is a good point. For instance, way back when I was still in grade school, my older brother and I learned how to play golf with our dad. It's always been a favorite pastime. When I went to my high school reunion a year and a half ago, I met the 40-something year old daughter of a former classmate. Her job and my family structure (adoption) got us talking, and she loves to play golf. Instant new friend. If I hadn't been transitioning, I would not have chosen that group of ladies to sit with.    I've also enjoyed shooting for the past 50 years. I went to renew my concealed carry license last September, and there was one other woman, a couple years older, in attendance, and we connected. I've been to her home and met her husband, a retired pilot. I'm a retired air traffic controller, she works at a local airport museum. She's part of a small ladies shooting group, all aviation enthusiasts, and she and I have been to the range together. I've met some of the others, and we'll all go to the range as a group from time to time.   Sorry. Long-winded way of saying that transitioning doesn't have to mean throwing away every aspect of the old you in order to grow as the real you.

      Get ready for another damn RANT! I have helped my ex that I had kids with over and over again! I told her at the beginning of the month I had a meeting in Jackson, MS for trans people. She said ok. Today she asked if I would help her move to her new apartment because her current one is getting unlivable the same freaking day as the meeting! She of course played it off like oh I don't remember you telling me that. I'm so pissed off right now that I can't see straight. I'm trying to keep my cool because I do have the kids and I don't want to bad mouth her to them! She makes it so hard to even just respect her. Every time her text message or phone call on my phone it feels like my blood boils! I seriously don't know how much crap I can take before I snap on her. She uses them as an excuse all the damn time! I have to end it before I use more colorful language!

      My husband and I watched this show last night. It's a platform for genderqueer comics and a response to Netflix's shoddy record of non-allyship, we'll say.   “The last time Netflix brought this many trans people together, it was for a protest. So, progress!” Gadsby jabs in the trailer: https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/hannah-gadsby-netflix-special-gender-agenda-queer-comedy-1235907944/   Some of the comics were better than others. But overall I found it amusing, affirming, and joyful. Watch it and share what u think.
