Halloween

[Sno]

In my social media, folk are heading out for Halloween parties, and the like, and a few have chosen to take to streets cross dressed.

As a community, it's the perfect time to experiment, but, I can't help but feel saddened and upset when the inevitable trolling starts... feeling very triggered.

How does it make you feel?

I just posted about this in another thread I started. I like Halloween and always take the opportunity to dress up as a female. But this year it was disappointing just because it triggered my dysphoria. I felt too manly.

Anyways, this is time to have fun, and we should try to embrace it as that.

It is a fun time of year

I saw your other thread, and didn't want to derail it

It's sad for me because I would love to be able to dress up, but I just don't have the courage. I also don't really like the idea of wearing myself as a costume, even if it is just to be out in a socially acceptable way for a single evening.


Oh, and I don't have friends and wasn't invited to any parties. That's a problem too.

I went as a girl long ago and had the time of my life, way back when I was very closeted, but I was also with my old friends.

Halloween used to be my favorite holiday up until I came out to myself..

I can't help but feel like since then I've went as a caricature of myself, and haven't had much fun. I'm thinking I'll do something non-human this year...the fun of the holiday is to dress up as something other than yourself.

I have a group of friends that decided to go to a local theme park dressed as the frozen characters.  The trick though was is was gender bending so all the girls were played by boys and vice versa.  I was asked to fill in as Anna, since somebody got sick.  I felt a bit miffed.  I am not out, so they don't know I'm trans, still it was enough for me to turn down immediately.

I don't want to be seen as a man in drag ever.
