I too love Bambi. So hard to see me shooting a deer except with my camera. - I wear a bra all the time now except when I swim. Most of the time, I don't care if the bra straps are seen but I also have some bras that show more like a tank undershirt would. Yes - I am all for you - wear what you want and be who you are.

The problem with this or any costume I put together is I still need to be able to run. Was looking at tights today that I could substitute for the pants provided for the base Dark Crystal costume that I just ordered. I am planning to do the Jen costume for this one - that is very unisex, actually quite feminine, and is very striking if I can pull it off.

Just ordered a Dark Crystal Costume - Was starting to think about doing Minions also. With every costume I get I always modify it so I can run the Halloween Race called Ghost and Goblins.

Here is another costume that I wore a few years ago. Avatar. Now that I have another Halloween coming will need a new costume to wear. I was thinking the Dark Crystal as my theme for this year, but may go with something else. looking for Ideas? Dawn

Is important to note I won the contest - $50 - Just neat to be affirmed and yes as a woman.

I have several other shots in this costume and will post them when I get back from a trip I am taking.

Here we go - Halloween is upon us and I know that most of us like to dress for the occasion. Please show your favorite Halloween Costume here. Dawn - My latest photo I am using for a contest attached below.

I am sure the physical traits of our hands are only possible indicators. Does not mean that a person always fits the possibilities that such data supports. In fact, I am sure many/most people do not feel any difference other than just being normal. But combined with other factors, it does help me to understand some of why I am inclined to be transgender.

For the first time I am seeing some solid data that shows that I am indeed likely inter-sexed. 1.2 ratio is so far on the right of the scale/off scale - My hand size and shape does support my past thoughts that both my brain and body received a good dose of the womb wash intended to go with me becoming female. This ratio I received was even way more than a normal female. Notable traits I have include arm length, hips, foot size/width, mouth and face size and overall bone structure; knee angles, etch, are those of a woman that later was dosed with testosterone. I have been measured several times and remember once being told my bones measurements matched several women and that I had a Q angle in my knee that is almost always a woman,s trait. There are also several syndromes that could also explain my body size and structure being mostly female. Here is a photo from a few days ago of me wearing a running outfit that I had not worn in years. I have actually slimmed down to where it is fitting me so much better so I felt comfortable in wearing it again. I think , my arms are now really showing the effect of the Feungreek. Much softer and smaller. But maybe I was predisposed to this anyway as my hand ratio may support.

Image shows the measurement procedure of dorsal digit length using vernier calipers. The hand is placed on the edge of a table so that fingers are rested on table while making an angle of 90 degrees to the palm.

How to measure - My ratio is 1.2 (Off the scale female) Raina try to measure this way. When I tried to eyeball my finger length I thought they were almost the same. But using this method I really was able to see the difference. Again - Image shows the measurement procedure of dorsal digit length using vernier calipers. The hand is placed on the edge of a table so that fingers are rested on table while making an angle of 90 degrees to the palm.

I will post more on this soon.

I have been only recently aware of the hand traits that indicate transgender possibilities. Both the size and shape appear to be factors developed in the womb and could hold a key to why a person is transgender. For me I have both the size and shape in my hands that would indicate I am a woman. Here is a link to an article explaining this. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17906922/

Hello Emily, I too have gender dysphoria and my wife has various boundaries with me these days. Daily I dress unisex in my look. I do wear bras and panties. I actually need the bras now as I am almost a size B. Most of my new clothes that I purchase are from the woman's sections and can be worn as unisex. Mostly I am coded as female but new people I meet. Anyway I now feel good in my skin. But to go further and my wife also would be quite unhappy and we could/would end up breaking up over this. Yes a fine line - one of acceptance and freedom versus going all of the way with additional hormones and sex change. Wish you the best. Dawn

My nipples do get hard and sensitive - when I rub them and in the cold as Monica mentioned, so you are not alone.

Hello Monica, You are right - losing or managing weight is a newer society norm and a major cause for shame. It is unjustified. I actually like to eat and if I am not careful 20 pounds come on me fast. I have noticed when I am close to 140lbs or less - everyone treats me differently; holding doors and asking to help me with heavy bags - my height of 5' 7" I cannot change - but I have looked at the last set of photos where I managed to get my weight to 138 and I really seemed beyond skinny. (maybe unhealthy so) When I was just a bit heavier about 143 my body looked softer. Too much weight loss really can be bad - But we were talking about height on this segment. More soon.

Jessicatoyou and ScottishDeeDee, Thanks for your comments. I am getting a lot out of your call to honesty. For me, my wife has been really strict in our boundaries - she has to also feel good in her skin and has often told me I rival her. She is actually quite supportive of the physical changes I have made so far as she has helped me select unisex/women's outfits and undergarments. Funny - she often helps me wear the right bras - making sure that I do not have my straps showing. Anyway, I do love her dearly and this love is stronger than my need to fully transition now or anytime soon. Also for me there are my children and grandchildren to have concerns for. Being transgender actually runs in my family as one of my cousins recently transitioned from FtoM. I am very supportive of him. For the most part I do not lose sleep over not fully being a woman. Had I known what I know now I would have transitioned as a youth. Of course my Dad would have tried to stop me I am quite sure - but I never figured out this need or even the possibility of a change when I was younger. This is where in my life it would have made this most sense for me to transition. Also knowing I could never function fully as a woman, with ovaries, able to have my own children, has kept me from pushing further with a change. I know the science on this is moving forward but is not there yet. Because am inter-sexed in my body. Writing about this in my blog. Over half of my physical attributes fit a woman's body build. So I am able to pass most of the time and actually feel fulfilled when people hold the door for me or call me mam. This is where I am - I do not go out of my way - but now it seems more natural for me to go out completely in women's (Leaning Unisex) clothing and physically looking and feeling female. Is late here - thanks for starting this blog item - Dawn

Hello Jessica - You are so courageous. There are several of my family members who do not know I am Transgender. I actually have fear of hurting them and I do love them - this is my tight rope. Most of my family who really count, do know I am transgender and most of the time I openly dress in unisex women's sportswear and undergarments, even when in unisex/boy mode. If someone sees me for the first time and does not know me, no matter what I wear, they almost always code me as female. (Calling me Mam, Lady, Babe) I am comfortable with this but TELLING/ANNOUNCING to everyone that I am a woman in a mans body and that I like living as a woman - this has been something I currently could not do. So as I said I respect your ability to be totally honest in this respect. Love and friendship to you - Dawn

Thanks Monica - I will be adding lots more info to this site - still learning the format - - - Behavior? Yes! This can be driven by hormones - mental frame of mind - upbringing - Just thinking. Calling it a day - but I am very engaged in this topic. Dawn

All the above women weigh the same - about 169 pounds - the current world average.

The average weight of women world wide is about 169 pounds - wow! Does seem like a lot. The most I ever weighed in my life was 170. Currently I am at 160 and going back down.

The average height of women in the US is 5'4" But in parts of Europe can be 5'7" In the US men are close to 6'

I used to live in Washington State. You would think Seattle would be more open. Will be praying and believing for your safety.
