On Sunday I ate a coupon providing free medium pizza.  It was not worth it.  Well, as it was free, I guess it is correct to say it was worth nothing.  At least, it was nothing special.  You can tell that I am not a fan of that pizza.

Quote from: LoriDee on Yesterday at 08:41:29 PMI think that is a smart way to do it. You don't want to be stuck with something you dislike. That could have the opposite effect and make you less inclined to go out. I went through about four or five wigs before I found the style and color I wanted. There is no hurry since you are just discovering what the two of you can enjoy.

That makes a lot of sense, Lori. I do think the fact that I'm going with a topper will restrict my options in the best of ways... especially since I've been able to slowly acclimate to longer hair (at least in the back and on the sides). My wife keeps saying she can put my hair in a ponytail if I'd like, but there's clearly not enough for that yet.

My electrologist joked that I have enough for a "punytail" -- which is just hilarious in every conceivable way.

My wife keeps saying that all the choices on hair are up to me. But I feel like I'm just being logical when I tell her that SHE will be the one who spends the most time looking at it, so she honestly has a bigger stake in it than I do. I believe that logic is really irrefutable   ;)

Quote from: titan on Yesterday at 05:06:05 PMIn my opinion, you will only stop being trans if you decide to detransition.

Hello Titan,

Welcome to Susan's Place.

Thanks for contributing to the discussions here.

Your opinions are welcome and valid, but I must disagree with you on this one. By definition, being transgender means that your gender identity (how you perceive yourself) does not align with your sex assigned at birth.

Detransitioning does not change that. Sure, you can stop transitioning and go back to playing the role assigned at birth. But that does not stop you from being transgender. And doing such, for most of us, just creates more problems in that detransitioning does not "cure" gender dysphoria. The only way to treat gender dysphoria is to bring the alignment closer together to where dysphoria becomes less of a problem.

Many transgender people do not transition at all because they do not experience gender dysphoria. That is to say, their gender identity does not align with their sex assigned at birth, but that incongruence does not disrupt their lives and they do not feel the need to change the way that gender dysphorics do.
