Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Just curious and it's probably only one for those who are living full time but what do you keep in your handbag if you use one?

I have always found it mysterious and wonderful that women can pull out, makeup, band aids, tissues, hand cleanser, umbrella, journals, pens, perfume, practically a whole medicine chest and so on. It's like all women seem to be able to do a Mary Poppins when called upon!

Also, I hear lots of advice saying that trans girls should carry sanitary towels as they might need to lend one to a girl in need. Really? Does this actually happen in the ladies room?

Just being nosey really!

My wallet with all my IDs, credit cards, and checkbook. (I don't write checks, but it has my account and routing numbers if I need them).

Spare glasses, lipstick, tissues, eyeliner, Q-tips, hand sanitizer, eye drops, comb and hairbrush, small pocket light, eyeglass repair kit, spare keys, Band-Aids, two pocket notebooks, ballpoint pens, passport (in a separate pocket from my wallet), a small bit of toilet paper, numbing cream (for electrolysis appointments), hydrocodone pain pills, and a Naloxone inhaler (Narcan - in case of opioid overdose - which is not likely), several hair ties, and two cloth face masks.

If I were to add some hard candies, I would be my grandmother!

Would the hard candies be butterscotch or coffee nips? My grandmother always had butterscotch for the grandkids and coffee nips for my grandfather

Damn I'm boring. Keys, phone, lip balm and a radar key! I add specific things for certain occasions!

Since I am pushing 70, it would have to be Werther's Original butterscotch. Brach's is good too, but I prefer their caramels (which melt). For hard candy, it's Werther.

See, Mary Poppins incarnate! How do you fit all that in! Is the passport in case you need to leave the country in a hurry! Do you not have a banking app on your phone? Seems a bit risky to be carrying around a cheque book.

But no obligitory chapstick?

The purse has ten pockets! Six zippered pockets on the outside, 1 zippered pocket inside, and three inside pockets without zippers. It also has small pockets on the ends where I keep my masks.

Yes, I got the passport as soon as they updated my birth certificate. I paid extra for expedited service, due to the election results, and got it in January of 2024.

I have a banking app on my phone, but sometimes I need to provide an account and routing number to receive direct payments (like book royalties).

Never been a fan of Chapstick as the wax is too stiff in cold weather. What I have is a softer-tinted lip balm for emergencies. I rarely use it.

Oh right, do you not have direct debits over there? You can either set those up or set up a transfer so that all you or the other person needs to do is type in the amount and send. It's instant too.

I love that bag! I want it! Maybe in brown leather though. Going to have a search though Amazon.

Wow thats a giant bag that one Lori! Mine is super compact, although I have a bigger one if need be!

The brand is Elda. I got it on Amazon. It is a reddish-colored faux leather. I love it, but I have had it for years, and it is starting to show some wear. Might need to BMA soon!

BMA = Buy Me Another
