I have a "Trans Equality Now!" button on my messenger bag's strap that rests right between my boobs when I'm wearing it slung across my chest.
You can kinda see it in my avatar, I have a rainbow bracelet from the Rainbow Coalition.
I have a tattoo planned that is going to be placed right where my very first patch was.
I refuse to wear anything with a butterfly on it because I have a phobia about them. They absolutely terrify me. I wear a set of earrings that were hand made for me by a native American. They have small dreamcatchers on them with some green stones and feathers from a pheasant. That way I can keep my hopes and dreams for my life aloft on the winds while I keep myself grounded.
a ring designed to form a mushroom.
it symbolizes my regrowth.
mushrooms feed upon dead things and create beatuy from them
I put the male part of myself to death a few months back. And from his corpse will grow a beautiful woman
@Keaira I hope that I did not scare you with my butterflies.
I have two phobias. that stupid eye thing on a peacock feather weirds me out when I look at it and ceiling tile with deep small hole in it feels like ants or something is about to crawl out of them. eeeooowww crap chills just thinking about.
butterflies are fantastic, fascinating creatures. They are beautiful.
Unfortunately it has been used too much in symbolysm, causing it to become cliche.
I had a really cool ring with a butterfly on it, but I couldn't justify wearing it........
it just felt wayyyyy too mainstream
@OrderOfOriah so do you have things you wear now?
I have a pair of silver star fish earrings.. The starfish is one of those lucky animals that can change it's gender..
Don't worry. The pictures didn't affect me. It's the actual insect that scares me. My last place I lived in had a tree that was usually full of butterflies in the summer right by the front door. So you can imagine, that was a door I could not go though. I had to put blinds up to hide that tree because the window that it was also next to was a huge picture window. I just couldn't take going into a butterfly house or anywhere with lots of them about.
I wear arrogance and bitchiness.

of course. read my previous post. It's a ring made of silver and adornded with a mushroom.
And fungus is symbolic of rebirth.
after death and putrification, new life rises up from the wreckage
I dont wearing anything to symbolize my transition...
but I am planning to get a tatoo, that will symbolize my transition. A nice Feminine design to help show my Femininity..
When I started hormones, as a signal I did get my ears pierced..
I have rainbow butterfly buttons pinned onto some jackets of mine. Butterflies, and moths really, are like trans-totems for me.
I wear arrogance and bitchiness.
When people tell me I 'don't have to be a bitch' I tell them 'no', I don't, but it's just a little something I do for me.
So, for you, here's Rod (the Mod) Stewart and the last performance of The Faces in 1974 doing You Wear It Well.

hahahah. Win. I'm pretty much right with you, there.
I actually was thinking of adding things like this to myself :D
At first I was torn between deer (my favorite animal, so beautiful!), rabbit (fits my personality), or butterfly (for the transition thing).
But, as I was looking around, I couldn't really find anything "perfect" that could act as a really special object. So, I decided to maybe try and make something? Since I am an artist, I was thinking of modeling a necklace in 3d and having it printed out...then cast in silver or something.
I dunno, but definitely I want to start exploring the accessories and expressing things about myself in them :D
I wear an Ouroboros ring on my right pinky which I bought a few weeks after starting HRT. Then again, it symbolizes much more than my transition.
I wore a buterfly ring for the first year of transition.
Whenever I felt like an ugly man I would look at the buterfly and remember that at one point she was an ugly old catapiller.

It goes well with the baby weight I gained after my pregnancy.
Considering I have waited so long, I wear a great smile and have a good attitude knowing that things are moving along :-*

I regularly wear a sterling silver ring I made that has a mixed gender symbol on it,
It particularly means more to me because I made it.
This is the only image I have of it at the moment, it's a bit small but you can still see it.

I wear a "snap it" bracelet with multi colored little hearts on it, its really cute!

You made it yourself how?
sorry for double post. I don't know how to put them together.
I have a lot of shirts with butterfly designs, and a lot of butterfly necklaces and bracelets, and butterfly hair clips (those cool ones from 10+ years ago with the springs in them), and I plan to get a butterfly tramp stamp :angel:

I fully support that. My tramp stamp is art nouveau flowers.
Mine's going to be a butterfly surrounded by some flowers and swirly designs or something like that. I was saving that project for next spring.

It would look better if I was bony and I am a little chunky munky now... BTW, that was me as a boy! I want to do a Michelle Williams pixie cut and bleach it. I mean I passed as a girl, when I was a boy.. except for the voice and stubble.
Where ya getting it pierced sis?
Post pics!
I wear a bracelet that was given to me by my sisters after I had come out to them. It represents their acceptance and their support, and is the most beautiful gift I have ever received. I wear it every day, and it gives me the feeling that I have my sisters always close to me.
I have a ring with male and female symbols (mars and venus) intertwined and a leather bracelet with the same symbol I wear them both pretty regularly

I just got a new butterflie pin for my hat. i love it. I saw a hair clamp that I want at K-mart also.

You made it yourself how?
Well it was created through a process of wax casting.
First I carved the ring out of wax.
I shipped my carving to another facility where they made a mold of the wax and then poured the silver.
Once I got my ring back all there was left to do was size it, do some finish work, and polish her up!

I would love to see what it looks like. Is there something online that looks like it?
My plucked eyebrows, long hair, pierced ears, etc. symbolized my transition... Never felt the need to wear any buttons or the like
