    Ladies, thank you all for the support. It’s funny, I was just having a similar conversation with my gender therapist, who I LOVE but am not allowed to take home and keep her. LOL

    I’m on a one-way ride to being fully out, but it’s a process. It’s going faster than I originally had planned, large in part because of both my wife’s encouragement (ie when she said enough is enough, get dressed and we’re going dancing in West Hollywood) and my wife’s insistence that I get over any insecurities about my presentation on a day to day basis.

    I’m at the point where new people I meet can know whatever they want to, because it’s easy and people are generally accepting I find. Where I struggle is with old friends and family who know me intimately enough to dig. I’ve had some bad experiences with my brother, who seems to find transphobic things to say more often than the average person. My mother as well... for now, my plan is to slowly share with “safe” friends, building confidence as I go.

    And Cassandra, I DEFINITELY need some toe rings now that you’ve said that!

    I have some tell tale signs that people may or may not notice, both ears pierced, shaped eyebrows, a woman's watch, thin rings, virtually hairless arms. So far no one has commented, though I've certainly seen people looking on more than one occasion. Even when my wife asks about such things I just say I have them because I like them, and she doesn't press the issue.
    Here today, gone tomorrow....

    Yeah, t totally get ya......that is the main deal.
    And least people think i'm that 'out', I have held back from explaining it all to my older brothers. They'd be ok with it for the most part, but it also just isn't a big deal. I'm sure they all have formed their own conclusions just from the way I present. Because of other circumstances I just don't have any old friends to deal with.

    Your right, the majority of people really are generally accepting.

    I loooove my toe rings and the feeling of that anklet dangling around on my ankle is really nice.

    I'm so bummed tho, one of my fave toe rings has finally worn out and had to be tossed; since they have to be bendable to get on and off they do tend to finally just wear out, I was putting it on the other day, and it just came apart.
    It was a wide band with an antique brass looking finish, filigreed...……………..the perfect blend of feminine and masculine.
    I have prolly 10 toe rings, one is a simple band, and looks like a men's wedding ring, a couple of lady friends have asked about it as I wear it on the left foot.

    This is a really great thread for me. I spent years working so hard to present the most bland and unremarkable male image possible that I made Ned Flanders look like a hippy.

    I came out to my family (siblings) recently and now that they are ok I have dialed it down, but I am still finding it *really* difficult to do anything that I can't hide if need be (like get my ears pierced, which I have always wanted to do).

    Go ahead and get them pierced, what's stopping you? A lot of men have their ears pierced and it is fine.

    Oh just do it already. Lots of men have pierced ears and you can take the earings out after a while you know. I'ts not exactly like having breast implants now is it? It's your life, live it.

    Ha ha yes I definitely see the irony here, that's why I shared this I'm sitting at my desk at work right now in a pale blue soft fabric shirt, a white watch and a bracelet of small hearts, girl jeans, and red & gold shoes. But earrings? Oh no that'd be *way* too obvious. LOL

    I got both ears pierced this summer and wore studs for several weeks while I was on vacation. When I returned to work, I went to tattoo studio where I got them pierced and she put in clear retainers. I wear them to work every day and no one has said anything negative. Only a couple have noticed.

    Yay! I was very self conscious when I shaved my arms for the first time (actually Veet). It was for a specific event, but nobody batted an eyelid so I've kept them that way.

    Eemz, I'm excited for you. Bet you can't wait for them to heal so you can get those danglies in.

    First, under my arms, then my legs, now . . . . ? It is becoming simply natural at this point. And I do adore the smooth sensations on my legs! Oh my!

    Regarding ear piercing, I got both mine pierced three months ago - 60th birthday present to myself. My wife and mother-in-law thought it was a great idea. Only one person has directly commented; a woman at a winery who told me she liked it and wished more men would wear earrings. Before then, I thought people would think less of me or that I was strange. I was completely wrong. I'll know more when I see the more socially conservative members of my family.

    FYI, I know several men who paint their toenails and fingernails.

    My nails are growing longer...I had to clip them back a bit for a visit to my parents. And the broken nail is starting to grow back too! I've applied a couple coats of clear nail polish hoping that may prevent breakage. And I'm carefully filing them as they grow. They're getting to the point that they're difficult to hide from the muggles. I'll have to keep them a modest length that doesn't get attention. Why is it that I have to please society and not rock their little suffocating world? Let me do my thing, let me be me, and don't judge me!! Why is that too much to ask?
