I think we’re getting pretty close, I’ve just returned from a 6 week, 12500km caravan trip across the country from northern NSW to the West Coast & back, dressed the whole time & the acceptance was amazing. From the lovely ladies in Millers in Albany to the blokes in the bar at Poochera Hotel (probably the scariest bit, had to go into the bar at 5.30pm on a Friday afternoon to pay for a caravan site beside the pub) A couple of RBT’s in WA were no problem as was having to show ID (male drivers licence) in SA, once to buy beer in Ceduna & the other when an ATM swallowed my card in Keith on a Sunday afternoon & I had to wait until next morning to get it back, only comments were that my hair had grown since the photo was taken. Absolutely no issues using the ladies amenities in the caravan parks, though I did try to be in & out as quickly as possible & stay clear if there were any kids about.
Fabulous trip following the Silo Art Trail & it’s encouraged me to be more out now in my home area.

Hello Claire I have a device called a man groomer from the Shaver Shop, basically a battery operated groomer with a long adjustable handle, works well for me, I can reach all of my back, even with dud shoulders

Hi Bree, I took 2 x 500mg capsules per day from Biovea for 9 months last year with no noticeable result, had previously tried Purafems cream & serum, again with no results, purafem were also very hard to deal with, I had to threaten them with a Paypal dispute to get them to reply to me & that wasn’t very satisfactory

[Terri_2]

Such a positive story, even with the negatives in her early trials, do we dare dream that in another generation that Georgie’s story would not be exceptional?

[Terri_2]

I like the new look, could be imagining things but it seems to respond a bit quicker than before.

I’ve just finished trying Pueraria Mirifica over the last 10 months, ordered 6 months supply from Purafem, wouldn’t recommend them at all, turned out to be 3 months worth as their dosage is based on 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off during menstruation, also very slow delivery & lousy communication, had to threaten them with starting a Paypal dispute to even get a reply to my questions. the next lot I got from Biovea, much cheaper & fairly quick delivery.
Long story short, I started with A cup man boobs & that’s what I’ve still got, didn’t make a measurable difference, though they do feel a little heavier, that could be imagination or I’m just getting fatter.

Congratulations to Adrian, her marvellous assistants, the staff at the Carrington & the members of the Bigradiodynamite band for another totally enjoyable weekend
From Friday nights reception, all the workshops, Saturday night, to Sunday’s interaction with the IDATOT event everything just flowed into a great experience
Thank you to everyone who took part
Terri

I agree Adrian, unfortunately most, if not all, official forms & commercial orders have the title as a required field, perhaps we need to start a push to change this to optional, rather than introducing a new title

I generally take photos front on, maybe with a slight turn, full length, hands by side or lightly clasped in front, occasionally back view to check out how hair & clothes look from behind

Hello Fay, as Liz so rightly says, it’s a very personal decision, I was upfront when telling my sister last year, though still chickened out on doing it face to face, excuse being she lives 700km away.
I’d just watched the Kate McGregor story & sent her a very emotional email entitled Pandora’s Box, as soon as she’d read it the next morning she rang & we had a long talk in which she was very understanding & supportive.
Now she & her partner along with my niece & her partner are used to seeing me dressed, my niece calls me uncle or aunt depending on my appearance.
Totally agree with your observations about TGR & Transformal & the confidence they inspire.

This could probably fit a few topics, but I think it’s appropriate here
Got sprung at home recently by an acquaintance who I’ve known for 30 plus years through my time in the heavy vehicle industry, he wasn’t at all perturbed, just said I’d be surprised at the number of truck accidents he’s attended (he owns a heavy vehicle salvage company) where the truck driver is wearing female attire & that the ambo’s & cops just bury that part of the accident if it’s not relevant & have done so for many years, turns out a friend was dressed when killed in an accident a couple of years ago, I had no idea that he was TG, even though we had been reasonably close over the years, apparently discretion is the norm.

Sorry about that, I’ll have to make another donation

Hello Glenda, thanks for that info, I’m coming down to Taree the first weekend in March for an old bike do, reckon I’ll travel through and pay her a visit, sounds good, I’ll contact you before hand

Martina, don’t be too hard on Pleaser shoes, some of us “yeti” or “big foot” girls don’t have a lot of choice, I’ve found that Pleaser size 16 is good for my size, 12au male wide fit, 2″ pumps are 3 year old (these are the 2nd pair, nearly worn out) & are worn for several hours per day, 3″ sling backs are 4 year old & have been to many events & are still comfortable & look good.
perhaps that part needs re-posting in another thread

Moderators can move posts (as I have with this one). But expecting a moderator to edit a wayward post in two parts is just not covered by the $10 lifetime membership!!!

Good on you Petra, just be patient & follow his instructions, I’m not having any problems now, just enjoying them

Some more observations after 9 weeks
It’s becoming much easier to fit studs & hooks now, as I expected after more practice, still wish for smaller fingers (& feet etc, etc )
Still a little tender at times, but that is lessening as time goes by
I haven’t worked out the best sleep solution yet, sleeper studs & small hoops can both be a little uncomfortable at times & sometimes the studs fall out during the night, I have no idea how long it takes ’till you can leave them out all night
One drawback I hadn’t thought of, I now have to avoid the jewellery stands in department stores, I mean, a card with 10 pairs of assorted studs for $12 at Target!! if you don’t see it you won’t buy it
I also now have a collection of clip-ons that I can’t convert, might bring them to Transformal next year & put them in a freebie box
