What has been the silliest thing you’ve done so far during your transition?

What has been the silliest thing you've done so far during your transition?

For me it was yesterday morning. 

After enjoying a luxurious bath during which I shaved my legs, I realized, while dressing, my Bikini Line was in need of some serious attention.

So I grabbed the razor and proceeded to complete a quick shave.

Yup, today, I'm feeling it.  Shoulda just taken a second bath.

I fell in with a group of troublemakers and ended up on my fridge.

[jkredman]

As a mugshot, or raiding the cookie jar?

My parents once put the cookie jar on top of the fridge in an attempt to keep me out of it.  As a toddler, I was a climber.  It didn't work.

After that there was rarely any cookies in the house.  (Maybe that was the beginning of the issues my cis-sister has with me.)

Now eating the middle out of the Oreos and the putting them back in the package is another story....

Shall we talk about the ridiculously high heels or the ridiculously short skirts?

[jkredman]

Well in my younger years I would wear western boots that had some pretty tall heels on them.

One of my recent girly purchases was a pair of sandals with wedge heals.  I wore them around the house, a couple of times, and then went public yesterday wearing them & my boot cut 'Simply Vera' jeans.

I was pleased that I very quickly remembered how to walk and drive in heels.

No skirts yet but shopping....

As an avatar. Can't say as I understand it either.

I do applaud you for looking at the humorous side of transitioning. One funny thing that happened was when I showed up for my ill fated FFS, there was no one at the hospital. That wing closed down at night. We walked up to the desk and no one was there. No one in the halls, nothing. I finally decided I was in the right place though because I looked over to the side and saw wheelchairs. On the back of each there was printed "TRANS." Well surely it was too obvious to just have it be an abbreviation for transportation, so I assumed, it was like a director's chair, that it was labeled for folks like me, so I stayed. Three surgeries to repair my FFS later, I realize it was TRANSportation, and I should have used it to get the hell out of there. True story!

Moni, If I offended you I apologize.  Please forgive me, as it was not intentional.

Yes I started this as laughing at myself.

The moral of my story is never try to address the Bikini Line dry.  And today, I'm feeling it and really regretting my laziness.

Hopefully we can have some lighthearted moments.

What we go though to live authentically is something the majority of human beings can not comprehend.  We are probably some of the strongest humans alive - to go through a transition and come out the other side happy with ourselves and being a contributor to the greater human good.

Yes I need to laugh at myself at times.  Otherwise I'd really go crazy.

Hi Kate, pleasure to meet you. You have me wrong. I didn't take offense. I am a big proponent of using humor on Susan's. I have the some of the nicest people and brightest minds shaking their heads at my posts, saying what's wrong with that girl? It takes a lot to offend me. I do like the thought of contributing to greater human good. I would add taking care of the planet to that too. I was thinking of a new way to describe my transition earlier today. I decided it was a 'mid life reincarnation.' Seriously, I hope things are going well in your process. I don't know if I think of myself as strong. Maybe fortunate. Definitely lucky.

Thank you!

Well I can't tell the real juicey ones but sunbathing in a bikini top prior to having waxing on my upper-body was a good one.

I arrived at the salon in male mode, took my top off to reveal my sunburn impression of a bikini top and the woman doing the waxing looked suitably stunned.

It was the beginning of a lovely friendship!

That wouldn't be silly if you took off the fake mustache and Groucho glasses and maybe even the sombrero, Allison. 

[Donica]

Moni! I love your new avatar but you are wearing the wrong refrigerator hat. Check with Faith. She has the right hat.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as being silly but I once poked my boob and almost ended up on the ceiling of a crowded Best Buy store.

Donica.

My silliest thing was telling my cat that I was transgender. 
She didn't care a wit!  Just licked her paws and took a nap.

Thank you Kate for starting this thread. I can already tell this is going to be a fun place as I am such a silly women, I'm sure I will have to make many visits here.

Silly hugs!
Donica.

Don't give up the sombrero, Allison! Few people can rock a sombrero without holding a guitar, so you need to show the rest of us how that works...


As for silly, I rather think that anyone is silly hoping to find the interesting parts of a refrigerator ON TOP of it, rather than INSIDE of it...

(And, Moni, with my screen's resolution, I actually had no idea what was happening in your new picture, which I first saw on another thread, until your post above about falling in with the wrong sorts of folks... Sort of like you, Moni, so far out of the box rational minds can't keep up...)

Haha oh I'll try! [emoji23] I actually cackled at Moni's respone lol I think if I had the guts, that would be the BEST thing I could do right now! If only

Well today I was feeling better until I went to the golf course.

Yes my Bikini Line is on fire again.

Silly me.

Practicing spilling food on my boobs. Much to my wife's amusement.

Mind you, I can do that without the boobs, but looking forward to getting them :-)
